Chapter 34
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 he can find out who Phoenix is, and he 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 him 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 he had on earlier.
Having been so close to the man while he 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, she couldn’t possibly allow herself to miss it.
“Leaving already, Mr. Hunt?” Renee asked softly as she looked at him.
“Mhm, I have to settle some matters at the main offices.”
“I’ll go with you.” 1
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 her sleeve. She might look innocent, but he had no idea what was going through her 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 him innocently.
Stefan, however, was expressionless. He knew she was lying, but he also wanted to see how long she’d keep up the act.
Renee hopped off her 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.
“Mhm. Stefan didn’t say anything else, but his expression darkened as he 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 he was under the impression that she wouldn’t understand a thing.
“It’s alright.” Stefan didn’t seem to mind, as he also figured that she 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. 1
“Last three seconds. If he doesn’t arrive by then, I’m leaving.”
