After all, this was going to be her first Valentine's day with Waylen.

She carefully prepared golden candelabra, champagne roses, and food from a Michelin-starred restaurant .

The scene was romantic.

At seven o'clock in the evening Rena called Waylen. Her tone was brisk.

"What time will you arrive?"

Waylen was in the middle of a meeting when he received her call.

In a gentle voice, he explained to her, “I'm still in a meeting, but I'll be there before nine o'clock." After a while, he seemed to recall something.

"By the way, Jazlyn's going to get a document from my study in a while. It's on my desk. Could you give it to her when she arrives?"

"Okay," Rena answered meekly.

But she found herself unwilling to hang up so soon.

Waylen still had a meeting to preside over, so he said in a gentle voice, "I've got to go, Rena. I'll see you later."

After hanging up, Rena wondered what Jazlyn would think once she saw the things she had prepared for Valentine's Day. Biting her lip, she hoped that Jazlyn would keep her little secret once she saw this place.

But twenty minutes passed and Jazlyn still hadn't shown up. Instead, she called Rena on her phone.

Her nervous voice sounded from the other end of the line, saying,

“Rena, my child is sick. I have to go home. Can you deliver the document to Mr. Fowler for me? He told me it's on top of his desk in the study."

Rena didn't want to make things difficult for Jazlyn, so she agreed immediately.

Jazlyn thanked Rena sincerely and then quickly hung up.

Document in tow, Rena headed downstairs and drove to the law office.

She thought that she could wait for Waylen to finish his meeting and then come back to the apartment with him.

She couldn't wait to see the look on his face when he saw what she had done to surprise him.

Rena smiled to herself.

In the dark night, her white BMW shuttled through the traffic and arrived at Sterling Law Firm thirty minutes later.
