Excited murmurs from other girls in the cafe reached Rebee's ears.

"Look at that guy, he's so good-looking!"

"Yes, handsome for sure, but there's something intimidating about his eyes!"

"He seems to be staring at our cafe. I wonder who he's watching?"

"Marcelo..." The name slipped from Renee's lips without her even realizing.

What was he doing here?

Howard noticed where Renee was looking and saw Marcelo, furrowing his brows slightly.

"Renee, did he come here for you?"

"I'm not sure,"Renee answered, averting her eyes.

She genuinely didn't know. Shouldn't he be with Vivian at this time?

Or maybe Vivian was in the car with him?

Marcelo had been informed by one of his people that Renee was at the school. Watching her sitting there, laughing with Howard, he felt a surge of unexplained anger.

When Renee looked at him and then calmly looked away, as if she didn't even recognize him, he felt a pang of annoyance.

Renee struggled to follow his train of thought.
