“I don't. I don't care even if the Hunt family goes bankrupt.”
Stefan had long grown tired of all this. He had grown tired of the lies and deceit in the business world and the hypocrisy and greasiness of businessmen.
The fame and fortune that seemingly everyone in the world coveted could interest him no more. He did not want to stay in this field for a minute longer than necessary.
“I'm going outside for some fresh air. Please excuse me.”
Stefan nodded slightly, put down the champagne glass in his hand, and escaped from the crowd without looking back.
On the second floor of the Santa Fe Hotel, there was a large terrace that contained lush tropical plants. It was also adorned with tiny lights that flickered like little stars.
This spot was quiet and secluded. Sometimes, one could even find birds and butterflies here. It was like a secret realm hidden in the bustling city. Few people knew about this place.
Stefan discovered it by chance. After walking through layers of trees and flowers, he saw a beautiful and enchanting figure leaning against the wooden railing of the terrace.
The woman was wearing a red gown that was tight in the upper body and loose in the lower body. The design of the gown meant that her back was completely exposed. Her beautiful back was as fair and delicate as snow. Stefan could hardly take his eyes off it.
A gentle breeze blew over her rose-colored gown and her waterfall-like hair. The sight was beyond enchanting...
“Renee?”
Stefan clenched his fingers and called out the woman's name.
“Stop wasting your time.”
He grabbed her wrist forcefully and pulled her into his arms. He said mercilessly, "It's over between us. No matter what you do, I won't feel anything.”
“Then why are you so scared to look into my eyes?”
“Says who?”
Stefan lifted her chin with his fingers and looked straight into her eyes.
Although his handsome face was as cold as ice, his moving Adam's apple betrayed his chaotic emotions inside. With a hoarse voice, he asked, "Tell me what you're doing here.”
