Eloise sighed and didn’t say anything more.
After eating, Rena grabbed her bag and went to work in the music studio.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the studio, a colleague whispered to her, “Rena, a Miss Fowler has been waiting for you! If you don’t want to see her, we can tell her that you’re on leave.” Rena paused. Before she could say anything, she caught a glimpse of Cecilia waiting in the lounge.
Rena didn’t hate her, but she didn’t want to have anything to do with her either. So she told her colleague to tell Cecilia that she was on leave today.
Unfortunately, it was too late. Cecilia had seen her.

As soon as she asked this, the whole studio seemed to fall deathly silent.
Rena’s colleagues all knew that she used to date Harold.
But here Harold’s fiancee was, trying to get Rena to like her. It was too cruel to watch!
Rena’s colleagues all looked at her sympathetically, which only made Rena feel even more embarrassed.
She said to Cecilia in a low voice, “I’m sorry. It’s not like that at all. I just happened to have a prior commitment on your birthday. Why not ask someone else to perform at your party?”
Cecilia bit her lip stubbornly. She refused to give up on Rena.
So she went to a nearby cafe and waited for Rena’s lunch break. Sure enough, when Rena was leaving to grab some lunch, Cecilia rushed out to stop Rena.
“Rena, let’s have coffee!” Cecilia said enthusiastically.
Rena was usually good—tempered, but she really couldn’t agree to perform at Cecilia’s birthday party. Thus, she politely declined and went straight to a small restaurant for lunch.
In her designer clothes and high—heels, Cecilia followed Rena into the restaurant. “If you can’t attend my birthday party, then can you give me some advice on a wedding dress? Tyrone said you had a good taste. Harold’s arriving soon to have lunch with me. Rena, maybe you can give us some advice!”
All the color drained from Rena’s face.

But Cecilia this naive fool- knew nothing!
Rena took a deep breath and forced herself to stay calm.

She said to Cecilia, “Please don’t come to me anymore. I’m not married, and I don’t know anything about weddings. Besides, we’re not really friends.”
Cecilia, however, was always spoiled growing up and had never been refused.
So she kept pestering Rena, hell—bent on figuring out why the pretty lady didn’t like her.
Rena ignored her and walked into an alleyway, but Cecilia still followed her.
Rena rubbed her aching temples, realizing that Cecilia wouldn’t leave her alone. With clenched fists, she turned around, fully intending to drive Cecilia away, but the next second, her eyes went as wide as saucers.
