Chapter: 7
Rena gritted her teeth.
What a hypocrite!
At home, Eloise was getting more and more anxious. Rena was under great pressure, so she decided to meet up with her college classmate, Vera Byrd.
Vera had gotten married to a rich man from Duefron right after graduation. Her husband had a wide range of contacts.
Left with nowhere to turn, Rena asked Vera for help.
They met up in a cafe, and Rena wasted no time to tell her friend everything that transpired.
Vera cursed Harold vehemently. After she vented her anger, she thought for a while and asked, "Did you really get a hotel room with Waylen?"
Rena blushed and stirred her coffee stiffly.
Vera lowered her voice and teased, "Rena, you're really something! Even those celebrities can hardly get Waylen's attention. There's rarely any gossip about him because he's so ‘chaste’.
Rena smiled bitterly and changed the subject.
"Anyway, I had no choice but to turn to you, Vera.”
Waylen held great power and prestige in the upper echelons of society.
Vera could easily offend him if she dared to help Rena.
But Vera was Rena's loyal friend. Using her connections, she quickly found out Waylen's schedule.

On Saturday, Waylen had a golf appointment with someone at the country club at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Rena went to the country club with Vera and her husband at the appointed time. To her great surprise though, Harold was also there.
She was quite stunned at the sudden turn of events.
Vera pinched her husband's arm hard and whined, “Why didn't you tell us that Harold would also be here? How can Rena ask Waylen for help now?"
Vera's husband apologized profusely.
"I'm sorry, Rena! I didn't know, I swear!"
Before Rena could back out, Waylen had already seen them.
