Waylen had driven an hour to get here and see Rena.
But she was already leaving to attend a business dinner party before he could even have a few words with her.
Waylen was a man of pride. He had never gone after any woman. Women had always been the ones going after him. The only reason he was being all territorial with his wife right now was that another man might be interested in her. And it was also because he hadn’t had her completely yet.
But once a man’s desire to conquer and possess surfaced, it didn’t go back under without a fight.

After saying that, he pulled her toward himself and kissed her on the lips.
“You look so beautiful even when you’re all sweaty.”
Rena’s face turned bright red.
Waylen was satisfied. On his way out of the company gym, he walked past a man. It was Hector.
“Hello, Mr. Fowler.”
Looking at Hector who was already dressed up to attend the party with Rena, Waylen felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He frowned and nodded slightly to his former subordinate.
Rena didn’t notice the tension between the two men.
She just said lightly, “Wait for me in the car, Hector.”
Hector.

He didn’t expect Rena to address Hector by his name in such a friendly tone like they were close friends.
After taking a shower, Rena changed into a cocktail dress and put on a white overcoat Wendy accompanied Rena to the car.
At the parking lot, Waylen was leaning against the driver-side door of his black Maybach and smoking. When he saw Rena, he stubbed out his half-finished cigarette. He offered, “It’s snowing heavily. Let me drive you to the party.”
Rena took a look at the company car. Hector must already be inside and waiting for her.
Then, she looked at Waylen.
She rubbed her forehead, wondering if Waylen was acting like this because he was jealous.
Fine snow filled the air.
