Chapter: 878
Rena no longer refused.
If she were to play the role of Waylen's wife for Alexis' sake, she would have to act as his partner on all occasions. Uncertain if it was a hasty decision, Rena, nevertheless, had no regrets.
Waylen escorted them to his company, prompting rumors to circulate among Exceed Group employees.
They believed Waylen's ex-wife had returned and that a reconciliation was imminent.
Waylen guided Rena and Alexis to the top floor, where Jazlyn awaited them by the elevator, her face beaming with concealed amusement. It appeared her boss was on the verge of reclaiming his woman. However, as Jazlyn approached, she delivered the unexpected news.
"Miss Stanley is at the company. She's waiting for you to sign the contract."
Waylen frowned.
“Wasn't the deputy general manager responsible for handling the contract with the spokesperson?"
Jazlyn coughed lightly, her smile strained.
"Miss Stanley is quite persistent."
Rena wasn't oblivious to the situation.
She surmised that Miss Stanley must be the female celebrity who had been reported in the media and was seen celebrating alongside Waylen. It was evident that this Miss Stanley held feelings for him.
Waylen glanced at Rena, aware of her thoughts.
He instructed Jazlyn, "Ask Miss Stanley to join us. And bring some desserts."
Jazlyn departed, her smile still intact.
Waylen lifted Alexis onto the sofa, allowing her to settle in comfortably. He then turned to Rena with a smile.
“I don't really know her. But since you're unhappy, I'll let you see her... So as to prove my innocence."
Rena saw through Waylen's deception, remaining unswayed.
A contemptuous snort escaped her lips as she retorted, "My happiness is not contingent on your personal affairs."
Waylen's smile widened and he confidently stated, “My private life has nothing to do with her. However, you and Alexis play a significant role in it!"
With a pointed gaze directed at Alexis, he turned to her and inquired, "Wouldn't you agree?"
Alexis, perched on her father's lap, regarded Rena with a gaze that hinted at a heartbreaker.
