On the same night, Stefan got on his private plane and flew directly to the island at maximum speed.
Throughout the journey, he kept reminding himself to act cold and composed when seeing Renee later.
After all, he didn't fly there because he missed her or wanted to continue their relationship. He was going there solely because he needed her skills as a lawyer to help with the lawsuits that H Group was facing.
“Yes, that’s it!”
Stefan thought for a while and finally came up with a good reason. He instantly felt relieved.
By the time he reached the island, it was already the next morning.
The orange and crimson sun rose from the ocean's edge and reflected its light over the blue sea, making it orange.
Stefan sat inside the speedboat and sped his way through the shore.
Once he got on the island, a local girl came up to him and welcomed him.
“Uncle, are you here for Aunt Renee?” the small girl said, her cheeks tanned and her grin pure.
“Yes.”
As Stefan looked at the little girl, he was glad and thought, ‘Not bad. She knows to get someone to welcome me!’
“Follow me, and I’ll bring you to Aunt Renee!”
The small girl waved at Stefan before turning and running.
Stefan followed her without hesitation.
He assumed it wouldn't be far away at first, but he was too naïve.
The journey started from the foot of the mountain and progressed all the way to the top. They climbed for over two hours without stopping.
Stefan was a strong man, but his body couldn't handle it. He was puffing slightly and questioned the small girl in front of him, "Are we there yet? Where is she precisely?"
“Of course.”
Stefan felt his heart melt at the cuteness of the girl and gave her a big hug.
Afterwards, she climbed down the mountain.
Stefan wiped his sweat away and fixed his hair. As he walked slowly towards the church, he straightened his back and put on a frigid façade.
He wondered how she would look now after not seeing her for three months.
‘Would she get thinner? Tanner? More depressed? Or grow bald?’ he guessed in his heart.
Women were sentimental, so naturally, they wouldn’t move on that quickly. He imagined that she would be crying every single day.
Stefan, however, was different.
He became more disciplined during these three months. He visited the gym often, ate healthy foods, and even upgraded his sense of fashion. He now possessed the confidence that he was able to charm her.
