Chapter 22
Although the two men were about the same age, Waylen had done a good job at accelerating his career and was much more powerful than Tyrone.
So Tyrone just winked at Rena and said, “I’ll wait for you in the car.”
Rena forced a smile, which disappeared as soon as Tyrone left.
The officers in the room were quite sensible and excused themselves. “You heard the man, Mr. Fowler wants to speak with this lady in private. Let’s go.” —
The speechless Rena watched them walk out.
Now, it was just her and Waylen left. Waylen lowered his head and tinkered with the cigarette between his fingers. His fingers were slender, and his simple movements somehow added to his charm.
After a while, he looked up at her and said meaningfully, “Miss Gordon, you are really something.”
Rena didn’t know what to say.
Her first instinct was to defend herself. “What happened today has-”
“You want to say it has nothing to do with you?” Waylen cut her off with a mocking smile. “Can’t you guess why they fought?”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
All the color drained from Rena’s face.
When it came to reasoning with Waylen, any attempt at defending herself would be futile. He was the most powerful lawyer in the country after all.
While she was nothing.
A lump formed in her throat, but she managed to croak, “Mr. Fowler, I swear I won’t get Involved in your sister’s relationship.”
All of a sudden, Waylen stood up and walked straight towards her.
Rena didn’t dare to move a muscle.
She raised her head and looked up at him through teary eyes. Waylen met her flustered gaze and even reached out his hand to gently touch her delicate cheek. Feeling humiliated, Rena immediately turned her face away.
He murmured, “You feel angry, don’t you? Harold was the one who betrayed you and found a new girlfriend, and yet you’re the one who has to pretend you have nothing to do with him in front of Cecilia. That must hurt, right?”
“No, that’s—’”
“Do you still have feelings for him?” Warlen interrupted her again. “I don’t!” Rena cried indignantly.

Waylen withdrew his hand and smiled.
“I believe you, and I trust you’ll keep your promise.”
Rena gritted her teeth with resentment. Why did he treat her like this? How could he? But she didn’t dare to lose her temper with him. She could only hiss, “Waylen, you bastard!”
The man didn’t get angry. Instead, he simply fixed his eyes on her without saying anything for a long time.
After what felt like an eternity of silence, he opened his mouth and said gently, “You didn’t do anything wrong. You just believe in love too much.”
