It turned out that Waylen really wanted to be in a serious relationship with Rena, but his parents and her parents hadn't met yet, so they had to slow down and take one step at a time.

Darren put on a diplomatic smile and said, “It does get busier at the end as well as the beginning of the year, am I right? Rena, keep Waylen company for now, but don't keep him distracted for too long. After all, he's a real busy man."

“Yes, yes. I'll prepare some tea." Eloise scurried off to the kitchen.

After a while, she came out with a pot of freshly steeped tea and asked, "Rena, why hasn't the plumber come yet?"

Rena didn't want to talk to Waylen, so she took this as an opportunity to retreat to her bedroom to get her phone and call the property manager again.
