NovelEnglishWhile waiting for the kettle to boil, she focused on reviewing the contents of today’s meeting.
From behind, her slim waist was embraced.
Familiar fragrance enveloped her senses. She didn’t resist but whispered softly, “Stop it. I’ll make you some tea to sober up. Roscoe mentioned that you have a court trial tomorrow morning. It wasn’t wise to drink so excessively.”
Waylen chuckled softly.
He kissed the back of her ear and nibbled at her tender skin…

After teasing her for a prolonged period, he whispered in her ear, his breath a gentle caress.
“Rena, let’s spend the weekend together. It’ll be a date.’
A date?
Rena found herself visibly stunned.
The recent demands of her work had engulfed her so completely that she had nearly forgotten everything else. Moreover, it was indeed her intention to give Waylen the cold shoulder….
With his hands nestled in his pockets, Waylen touched the small velvet box and uttered in a husky voice, “This time, I’ll take care of the arrangements, alright?”
Rena slowly poured the sobering tea into the cup. After a brief pause, she responded, “I’m embarking on a business trip tomorrow.”
Rena was going on a business trip tomorrow?
Waylen achieved a significant level of sobriety
upon hearing the news. Releasing his grip on Rena, he found support against the kitchen counter. Although he craved a cigarette, he refrained from lighting one due to Rena’s recent vocal strain.
Rena extended the cup of tea to him and said, “This is Mr. Carson’s undertaking. It holds great promise.”

Rena perceived his words as unpleasing, despite their truthful nature.
Seated at the table, Waylen intermittently sipped from the sober-up tea and posed the question, “Will Zack accompany you?”
Waylen’s discontent was apparent to Rena.
In truth, she wasn’t obligated to explain anything, but she surmised that her silence might dissuade him from letting the matter go tonight. After carefully weighing the pros and cons, she casually responded, I obtained this project through Zack’s connections. Without him, I cannot be accountable to Mr. Carson. So yes, I am bringing him. Besides, it’s not just the two of us; the team consists of six individuals.”
Waylen remained silent.
By agreeing to her business trip, he conveyed his consent.
