Rena hesitated.
She had no intention of engaging in conversation with him, yet she knew him well enough to understand that if she refused, he could instruct the driver to stand witness to their encounter.

Before Waylen entered the coffee shop across the bustling street, he extinguished his cigarette.
Within the well-lit confines of the coffee shop, Rena gracefully placed an order for a cup of Mandheling. Gently stirring her drink, she asked with politeness, “How have you been these three years? I heard that you established the Exceed Group, and it seems you have excelled in your endeavors.”
It had taken Waylen three arduous years to found the Exceed Group and transform it into one of Asia’s top ten enterprises, its market value surpassing á staggering 100 billion dollars.
Savoring her cup of coffee, Rena remarked, “Waylen, you possess an innate ability to excel in whatever you undertake.”
Waylen’s gaze held an unwavering intensity, far more direct than Rena’s.
Seated before her, he couldn’t tear his eyes away from her face. A gentle smile graced his lips as he responded, “Is that so? Am I truly adept at everything?
Rena found herself momentarily taken aback at his teasing words.
A faint blush colored her ears, prompting her to adopt a cooler demeanor. “I must take my leave.”
Waylen experienced a tinge of regret.
He urged her to stay, his voice gentle and persuasive. “I’m sorry. Let us converse a while longer, Rena… Why don’t you inquire about my romantic endeavors in these past few years?”

For a divorced couple, a simple coffee chat sufficed.
Yet, Waylen pursued her, suggesting, “Allow me to drive you home.”
Rena halted in her tracks.
Under the radiant glow of neon lights, she gazed up at him.
He remained undeniably handsome, possessing an allure that even surpassed his former self. However, after three years, they were nothing more than strangers.
He yearned for her, while she had gradually erased him from her heart over the course of those three years.
