Though Rena already knew Waylen well, she wanted to hear more about him from a different angle.
After all, Jazlyn had worked for him for many years.
Jazlyn was surprised by the question but smiled warmly, reminiscing about the past.
She spoke about how Waylen founded Sterling Law Firm, won his first lawsuit, and was generally aloof and unapproachable.
As Jazlyn finished, she smiled sheepishly, feeling touched by Rena’s interest. “Sorry, I’m talking too much.”
But Rena replied in a soft voice, “| don’t mind. | actually enjoyed it.”
Jazlyn was deeply moved.
Having worked in the legal field for many years, she had seen countless broken relationships and bitter property disputes.
However, as she observed Rena and Waylen’s love for each other, she sensed something truly special between them. Their bond was genuine and profound.
Despite Jazlyn’s internal conflict on what to say, Rena already had her mind made up. She stood up and calmly instructed, “Prepare the press conference for me. | have something to announce.”
Jazlyn realized Rena’s decision, and though she was surprised, she respected her choice.
Rena’s demeanor exuded a quiet strength, revealing her determination after careful consideration.
After a moment of being taken aback, Jazlyn nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll do it right away.”
With the office door closed, Rena moved into the lounge, her thoughts filled with Waylen.
She gently opened the wardrobe, which held a collection of Waylen’s suits and shirts.
Among them was also a white woman’s suit, belonging to Rena herself.
With a sense of resolution, Rena changed into the suit and put on a pair of high heels.
She tied up her long brown hair into a bun and applied light makeup in front of the mirror.
Her movements were deliberate and slow, as if each action carried profound meaning. As she prepared herself, she recalled Mindy’s words about rebirth.
Rena whispered to herself, “Waylen, if I can’t keep you…
If you are destined to go to a wider place, then | will set you free.
Iwill be patient. | will wait for you all the time until you come back…”
