Chapter 78
Zack notiost Renee’s embarrassment and wanted to help her out.
“Yeah, I think this punishment is boring too. I wouldn’t want to offend His Royal Majesty Mr. Hunt, so I decided to forfeit my
punishment right.”
Many an eye were rolled in the crowd.
Zack’s double standard was too obvious. He was singing a completely different tune a moment ago. His preference for the new
boss was way too obvious!
Stefan’s expression did not change much, but his perfect, cold face was unreadable under the flickering light.
He stared at the woman next to him with a cold gaze and suddenly smirked. “I underestimated your charisma. You sure know
how to win people over.”
Renee simply sat there. She did not know how to respond.
Why is this guy being so sarcastic?”
She just helped him evade punishment. Was he not supposed to thank her? Why did he look so unhappy with her?
‘Men are so unreasonable!”
The game continued. This time, the arrow pointed at Xavier.
“Hahaha!”
Xavier laughed out loud. He felt like he was about to get revenge,
He wanted to teach Zack a lesson.
The guy was too arrogant. He was also being really intimate with someone else’s wife. This made Navier dislike him a lot.
However, when he thought of how Renee publicly embarrassed Stefan just now, he suddenly really wanted to know how Renee
truly felt about Stefan.
If it was love, why was she unwilling to kiss a man she loved?
Navier turned towards Renee and asked her directly, “I want to know if you love your husband and if your first night was with
your husband?”
Another embarrassing question, but it was actually not that hard to answer.
Stefan stared at Renee, the emotion in his eyes unclear. He was waiting for her answer.
Renee looked straight at him and said, “I refuse to answer that.”
Everyone looked disappointed.
Looks like the new boss and the old boss were very alike. They had the same reaction even when playing a game.
“Sometimes, not answering is an answer in itself. I think a certain someone should get it now.”
Xavier glanced at Stefan. He was feeling pity for his good friend.
See? This is the kind of woman Stefan ended up with after letting his first love go.
shame!
What a
Renee could not be bothered explaining. She told the righteously indignant Xavier, “So? What’s my punishment?”
Xavier was momentarily stunned.
He had not really thought about how to punish her.
Because he felt that, although his question pried into personal matters, it was not difficult to
answer.
If Renee liked Stefan even a little, or if she had given her virginity to Stefan, she simply had to tacitly admit it.
But she would rather accept punishment than do that...
Sigh. Once again, Xavier quietly took pity on his good friend Stefan.
Right then, the performance on stage ended.
Xavier said, out of a lack of better option, “Maybe you can go on stage and sing a song for us or something”
He thought that Renee was already good at studying and an expert gamer. Surely she must be terrible at singing. Let her make a
fool of herself on stage. Consider it a small revenge for
Stefan.
F ver, Renee was not shy at all. She smoothened her long hair and confidently stepped onto the stage.
She sat down on the tall chair and hugged the acoustic guitar, her long fingers flicking the strings.
With just two notes, she grabbed the attention of all the guests in the bar.
“>> A long, long time ago, you’re mine, and I’m yours. A long, long time ago, you left me and flew far away... ♪♪”
Renee’s voice flowed like water, smooth and pleasant to the ear, filling up the air in the bar.
Her voice carried a tinge of sadness, as if there were a lot of stories behind it...
Many people in the bar immersed themselves in her song. Some could not help but shed tears.
Among them was Xavier.
He wiped away his tears and said indignantly, “Bro, why didn’t you tell me your wife could sing so beautifully? She’s... she’s
getting all the attention. It’s so beautiful!”
“This is the first time I’ve heard her sing myself.”
Stefan’s eyes had never left Renee.
The light shone on the woman, making her look dazzling and out of his reach.
Meanwhile, Christopher was looking at Renee from the second floor too. His gaze became deeper.
No wonder Stefan was able to let go of his past so easily!
After the song, Renee gracefully stepped down from the stage. Without even looking at Stefan, she said to the others, “Alright,
punishment served. I have to go. You guys can continue
without me.”
“If the boss is leaving, why would we stay?”
The lawyers stood up one after another and followed after her wholeheartedly.
In the booth, Stefan and Xavier sat surrounded by empty seats. It was a bit awkward.
Stefan continued to sit there gracefully without a word, as if he was still immersed in Renee’s
song.
After a long time, he said faintly, “Let’s go.”
“ait, that’s it?”
Xavier said, “Bro, what about my request? Hurry up and introduce me to the lawyer called Zack
Rosenwell!”
Rosenwell.”
“What?!”
Xavier felt like crying. He should just break his legs himself instead of waiting for his father to
do it.
