“Miss Gordon, goodnight."

He opened the car door and slid inside.

Rena reciprocated the wave.

She found this evening's outing delightful, believing that Robert was a suitable match for her.

Rena's spirits were uplifted.

After taking a refreshing bath, she wrapped herself in a towel. As she emerged from the bathroom, her phone buzzed with a message from Robert.

He had sent her a photograph.

Presumably taken at the entrance of his grand villa, the image exuded a vibrant Christmas ambiance.

Rena's lips curved into a gentle smile.

Just as she was about to respond to the message, her phone began to ring.

It was Waylen calling.

Rena hesitated for a brief moment before answering, only to be met with silence on the other end that Lingered for an extended period.

Finally, Rena couldn't contain her curiosity any Longer.

"Mr. Fowler?"

Waylen's voice sounded hoarse.

"Rena, how have you been lately?"

Waylen wasn't typically one to display sentimentality, leaving Rena puzzled as to why he suddenly cared about her well-being. Yet, considering his assistance in her father's Lawsuit, she replied, "I'm doing well."

“Where did you spend Christmas Eve? Did you have a delightful time?" inquired Waylen, his tone Laced with curiosity.

Rena wasn't stupid.

She immediately realized Waylen must have been privy to something.

She remained silent for a moment, and then replied, "Yes, I had a wonderful time!"

“Are you currently in a relationship?"
