Chapter: 1042
However, as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom, she was taken aback to find someone else in her bedroom.
There sat Waylen, on the soft bed, smoking.
Clad in black, he looked strikingly handsome.
His smoking gesture also held an undeniable allure.
Rena was in no mood to appreciate his charm. She tightened her bathrobe and asked coldly, “Why are you in my bedroom? We are divorced. Do | have to remind you of that every day?”
Waylen glanced at her, his voice soft as he replied, “I’m here to see Alexis and Marcus.”
Rena took a seat in front of the dressing table, combing her long hair.
“But you still shouldn’t have come to my room. We can talk in the living room.”
Waylen extinguished his cigarette.
He got straight to the point. “Why did you ask Mary to endorse the product if you don’t like her?”
Rena combed her long hair slowly, flashing a smile as she replied, “Do you want to know the truth?”
Waylen’s gaze was intense.
Rena began to apply her skincare products. As she did, she explained at a leisurely pace,
“We put in a lot of effort and resources into developing this shower gel, but it turned out to be just average. The early feedback wasn’t ideal. At that time, Mary came to me, and she was affordable. | signed a contract with an A-list actress like her for a mere two million dollars. Moreover, her scandal with you was an added bonus.”
Rena smiled playfully.
“Who wouldn’t want to know what fragrance Mr. Fowler prefers?”
Rena’s scent wafted towards Waylen as she sniffed her wrist, making him uneasy.
The simple action was full of temptation in Waylen’s eyes.
This woman was infuriating, yet he couldn’t help but be drawn to her.
Waylen stood up, positioning his hands on either side of her, leaning closer, and said in a husky voice, “What if | like your scent?”
Rena’s expression darkened.
In acold tone, she replied, “I’m sorry, but you’ll never get anywhere near me again.” ©
