It was the first time that he felt this way towards a woman.

Overwhelmed, he opted to flee the scene.

He tossed the antipyretics into the car and forcefully closed the door before hurrying away.

Rena awoke, and as she witnessed Zack running away, she was left speechless.

She took the medicine and made her way back to her apartment.

Possibly due to the chilly night air from the previous night, Rena caught a cold. Before retiring to bed, she made a call to the music studio, confiding in her secretary.

When Rena awoke from her slumber, the sun had already reached its zenith, casting a warm glow into the room

Inside the apartment, the air conditioner hummed softly, providing a pleasant and moderate temperature.

Faint footsteps resonated from the Living room beyond, their sound so delicate that only attentive ears could detect them.

Rena swiftly raised herself into a seated position, her curiosity piqued.

To her astonishment, Jazlyn, Waylen's efficient secretary, materialized at her doorstep, accompanied by a doctor.

Noticing Rena's awakening, Jazlyn briskly addressed her, "I heard you fell ill. Mr. Fowler instructed me to arrange for a doctor to visit you. He has a crucial meeting today, or he would have come personally."

Rena still felt a bit woozy but now a sense of embarrassment washed over her.

No one understood the tangled web of emotions between her and Waylen better than Jazlyn.

Rena chose to disregard those thoughts.

In a raspy voice, she murmured, "It's just a minor cold. Nothing serious."

Jazlyn replied with a gentle smile, “Nevertheless, Mr. Fowler is deeply concerned for your well-being."

Rena's embarrassment intensified.

The doctor remained mostly silent, completing his examination before administering an injection to Rena, then promptly taking his leave.

Now, only Rena and Jazlyn remained in the apartment.

Jazlyn, an experienced professional, possessed the remarkable ability to overlook any discomfort in the air. Undeterred, she donned an apron and beamed, saying, “Since you're unwell, avoid heavy food. Let me prepare something Light and nourishing for you. How about some chicken soup?"

Rena thought it was too much trouble for Jazlyn.
