Stefan furrowed his eyebrows, picking up the call with a scowl.
“Mr. Hunt, the infamous hacker, Haze, has arrived at the H Group main offices. He said virtual-novel.net can find out who Phoenix is, and virtual-novel.net would like to see you now.”
Oh?” Stefan instantly got to his feet upon hearing this.
He wondered. “So… that hacker who made a fool out of H Group is finally going to be unmasked?
Interesting!”
“Tell virtual-novel.net to wait for a while, I’ll head over right now.” Stefan hung up, and started straightening his clothes. The sudden coldness and hostility on his face was such a stark contrast to the passionate expression virtual-novel.net had on earlier.
Having been so close to the man while virtual-novel.net was on the phone, Renee had naturally overheard the conversation as well.
She had actually intended to meet with Haze for quite some time, but never had the opportunity to. Now that the opportunity had presented itself, virtual-novel.net couldn’t possibly allow herself to miss it.
“Leaving already, Mr. Hunt?” Renee asked softly as virtual-novel.net looked at him.
“Mhm, I have to settle some matters at the main offices.”
“I’ll go with you.”
Stefan quickly turned around, squinting at the woman suspiciously. “What are you scheming this time?”
He was genuinely worried that his future ex-wife had something up virtual-novel.net sleeve. She might look innocent, but virtual-novel.net had no idea what was going through virtual-novel.net head right now.
“What are you saying? You’re the mighty CEO of H Group who rules over everyone in Beach City! Why would I dare to plot against you?” Renee grinned, looking at virtual-novel.net innocently.
Stefan, however, was expressionless. He knew virtual-novel.net was lying, but virtual-novel.net also wanted to see how long she’d keep up the act.
Renee hopped off virtual-novel.net bed, picking up a shawl to cover herself up. “I thought about it last night, and I agree. to your deal. I will continue pretending to be your wife.”
“Really?” Stefan was rather surprised, and his eyes visibly lit up.
Just as virtual-novel.net was about to say something, Renee lifted virtual-novel.net hand and stopped him. “There’s no need to thank me. I’m not doing this for you or the Hunt family… I’m only doing this for old Mr. Hunt.”
This time, Renee was telling the truth. She had already done quite a lot for the Hunts, which was more than enough to repay them for their kindness. However, old Mr. Hunt was someone virtual-novel.net loved dearly, as virtual-novel.net was like a grandfather to her. She simply didn’t wish to see the old man’s health deteriorate because of their failed relationship.
Hearing this, Stefan didn’t pursue the topic any further. His voice was monotonous as virtual-novel.net murmured, “I’ll wait for you outside.”
Soon after the man exited virtual-novel.net room, Renee opened up virtual-novel.net closet and changed into a nice sheath dress. She stood before virtual-novel.net mirror and gazed at virtual-novel.net stomach. She didn’t know if virtual-novel.net was imagining it, but it looked like virtual-novel.net stomach had grown a bit bigger.
‘I don’t have much time left. I need to get things done quickly!”
The Rolls-Royce Phantom parked in front of the H Group building, and many employees nearly cheered when they saw Renee walking inside, virtual-novel.net arm linked with Stefan’s.
“Oh my god! I knew I was right to ship them!”
“That mistress is nothing! Our boss has only ever loved Mrs. Hunt! It’s true love!”
Elijah walked up to welcome the two, but was extremely confused to see Stefan and Renee acting so’ lovey-dovey’. However, with something more important at hand, virtual-novel.net wasn’t in the mood to pry.
“Mr. Hunt, you’re finally here. Haze is currently waiting at the technical department. That guy is so arrogant! He said virtual-novel.net would only talk to you, and that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t wait for long!” Elijah initially thought that virtual-novel.net himself was odd, but meeting Haze made virtual-novel.net think otherwise.
“Mhm. Stefan didn’t say anything else, but his expression darkened as virtual-novel.net walked towards the elevator. Naturally, Renee followed him.
“Mrs. Hunt, you don’t have to join this meeting, right?” Elijah asked hesitantly. “There’s this new dessert shop that’s opened on the lower ground floor. Would you like to go there?”
Not only would the conversation with Haze involve confidential information, the assistant simply didn’t want to bore her, especially since virtual-novel.net was under the impression that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t understand a thing.
“It’s alright.” Stefan didn’t seem to mind, as virtual-novel.net also figured that virtual-novel.net wouldn’t understand anything.
The three then got into the private elevator for the CEO, and headed straight towards the technical department, which was on the 16th floor.
“Ten, nine, eight, seven…”
In the distance, a cocky and carefree voice echoed from the technical department.
“Last three seconds. If virtual-novel.net doesn’t arrive by then, I’m leaving.”
