Waylen!”
Tyrone greeted him enthusiastically as though the two weren’t rivals.
Waylen let him sit down at their table. Tyrone then grinned at Rena and introduced her to the teenage girl he came with. “Rena, this is my younger sister, Danna. She’s in urgent need of a reliable piano teacher! Please let her be your student!”
Rena blushed in embarrassment.
Waylen knew what Tyrone was thinking, but he didn’t give a damn. He simply took out his wallet, pulled out a wad of cash, and then left it on the table. “Miss Gordon, since you’re busy, I’ll get going first.”
Rena nodded and escorted him to the door of the restaurant out of politeness.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
When they reached the exit, Waylen nodded to her and left He walked away with his head held high as though nothing had happened.
By the time Rena went back inside the restaurant, it was time for her to go onstage again.
Tyrone didn’t want to bother her while she was working, so he waited until she was done and then found a place for them to talk.
Danna was a sweet girl, and Rena eventually agreed to teach her. Tyrone’s offer was quite high, and he even paid Rena two months ‘ worth of tuition fees in advance.
Rena knew that Tyrone was just trying to help/her out. If her family wasn’t in so much trouble, she might’ve refused his offer, but now she couldn’t afford to let her pride get in the way.
When Rena made it home, she found the apartment empty.
She called Eloise to ask where she was, and Eloise said she was just running some errands and that she’d be back soon.
Around half an hour later, Rena heard the door unlocking. Eloise had come back, but her arm was red and swollen.
“What happened to your arm?” Concerned, Rena helped Eloise sit down.
Eloise waved her hand dismissively. “Oh, I’m just so old and useless. I tried to work for a while, but my arm gave out.”
Hearing this, Rena froze.
She immediately checked Eloise’s palms.
Sure enough, there were several blisters on Eloise’s originally supple palms.
At a loss for words, Rena stared at her blistered palms blankly. After a long time, tears started to roll down her cheeks. She wiped them hurriedly, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t hold back her tears. She applied medicine on Eloise’s blistered palms and then went back to her room to get ten thousand dollars.

Without hesitation, she handed the cash to Eloise and asked her not to work anymore.
That night, Rena cried herself to sleep.
When she got up the following morning, there were dark circles under her eyes. No amount of concealer could cover how tired she looked.
Over breakfast, Eloise told her, “If you’re burnt out, just quit one of your jobs. I can always sell that small apartment in the suburb and we’ll have some extra cash.”
Rena shook her head firmly. “Don’t worry. I can take good care of myself.”
