Drawing a deep breath, Rena summoned her resolve and swung the door open.
As anticipated, Elvira stood outside, clutching a gift in her hands.
At the sight of the suitcase held by Rena, Elvira’s innocent smile wavered slightly, her expression betraying surprise.
“Miss Gordon, I’ve come to offer my apologies,” she said with genuine remorse.
“The argument between you and Waylen was my doing. I’m truly sorry!

Elvira’s words pierced Rena’s heart, leaving her feeling queasy.
Determinedly, Rena grabbed her suitcase and headed towards the elevator, leaving behind the echoes of Waylen’s unhappy voice calling out, “Rena!”
They had indeed had a heated argument the previous night.
However, today he had forsaken his visit to the law office, deliberately waiting for her at home.
He had offered explanations and even compromised. Why, then, was she so unyielding?
Rena halted abruptly, her eyes welling up with tears.

With a touch of hostility, Waylen retorted, “What are you doing here again?”
Elvira raised the gift box in her hand and replied, “I’ve come to apologize to Miss Gordon.”
“No need!”
Waylen muttered, lowering his head to light a cigarette. He took a leisurely drag, his tone laced with a hint of indifference as he addressed Elvira, “I told you last night not to bother me anymore. If you’re taking it so hard, perhaps it’s time for you to seek professional help.”
A pallor washed over Elvira’s face, a testament to the impact of his callous words.
