Naturally, he had also included some toiletries.

Those items were intended for men.

Initially, Waylen had planned to spend the night here, caring for her but she had declined.

Waylen was never one to keep his grievances to himself. Since he had made the effort to come, there was no reason for him to withhold his thoughts. However, his reserved nature prevented him from being reckless. Consequently, he hung the bags on her doorknob...

In the early hours of the morning, Rena opened the door and decided to take Snowball for a walk.

The moment the door swung open, her gaze fell upon the two bags. She surmised that Waylen must have left them there, prompting her to retrieve them and investigate their contents.

Snacks.

Razors, a bathrobe, slippers, men's underwear...

Rena was rendered speechless.

She carefully set down the items, feigning ignorance and refusing to acknowledge what had transpired.

Although she had set a one-year deadline with him, she had no desire for him to intrude upon her private Life, nor did she want him to make use of these things.

When she went downstairs to leave for work, Zack was nowhere to be found.

Rena lacked the ability to drive herself, thus she was left with no choice but to hail a taxi to the music studio. Fortunately, Zack awaited her there.

From that day onward, Zack began to distance himself from Rena.

He no longer offered her rides, nor did he make an effort to see her.

Rena didn't pressure him and instead hired another driver. However, she couldn't help but worry about Zack's actions. She kept an eye on him and found out that he did now engage in frivolous activities and was dedicated to his work. Her anxiety eased more when Eloise informed her that he retired to bed early each night.

Finally, one day, Zack came to Rena when summoned.

However, his demeanor exuded coldness.

Rena perused through the report and posed a casual question, “Will you always approach your work with such emotional detachment?"

Zack's eyes hardened, revealing a cruel intensity.

He glared at her. This woman... failed to appreciate his efforts.

After finishing the report, Rena dismissed him.
