‘As she was going on a business trip later, Rena kept her outfit simple and convenient, wearing light-colored casual pants, a high-necked sweater, and a thin wool overcoat.
Curious about her flight time, Waylen asked nonchalantly, “When’s your flight?”
“Eleven o’clock,” she replied.

Although Rena wanted to deny it, she understood Hector’s feelings for her. Not wanting to lead him on, she replied ambiguously, “Perhaps.”
Hector smiled warmly.
He was a man of gentle and understanding nature.
