Rena bowed her head and dialed Waylen's number.

“Waylen, I want to see you."

After Rena finished speaking, a Long silence hung in the air

They could hear each other's subtle breathing, and gradually, Waylen's breath became heavier.

Despite this, he responded with a simple “Okay.”

Waylen suggested meeting at a French restaurant that night, but Rena declined, requesting to talk in his office instead.

He didn't say anything in response, clearly refusing her request.

Rena had something to ask him for, so she compromised and agreed to the restaurant.

After ending the call, Rena remained in a daze for a long time.

She knew that Waylen wouldn't help her without expecting something in return. He might have already set a trap for her.

He was a man she could never escape from.

Throughout the day, she was absent-minded, her mind consumed by thoughts of him.

When Zack brought in a report, he noticed her demeanor. He tossed the report on the desk and remarked, “Your new hire is indeed excellent. He works efficiently, and his salary isn't high. I never knew you had the potential to be a cruel capitalist.”

Rena barely paid attention to the report.

Zack sat on the desk, studying her closely.

“Why aren't you happy when you're making so much money? Why are you so difficult to please? Are you not getting any action? How about I satisfy you? I promise you'll have a lasting aftertaste and forget all about Waylen."

Rena closed the report and said, “I'm deducting $5, @0@ from your wages."

Zack widened his eyes and shouted, "Why?"

"You're harassing your boss."

“Damn it! A lot of girls want me to harass them and I don't even want to talk to them."

Rena ignored him. She asked him for a cigarette, Lit it and watched it burn on the desk.

Seeing her unusual behavior, Zack knew that something was bothering her.
