Chapter 386
"I've seen it.”
Stefan was working at his desk. He replied calmly without lifting his eyes.
Four years had left no trace on his perfectly handsome face, except it was maybe even colder now.
'You... you've seen it?"
Elijah found it hard to believe. He boldly said, "No way. If you've seen it, there's no way this is how you
react."
The trending topic was about Renee Everheart, the woman who had disappeared for four years and
the woman Mr. Hunt could not stop thinking about for four years. This was his reaction?!
Stefan finally raised his head. He slowly put the lid back on his pen and twirled it with his long fingers.
"How should I have reacted?"
"If you had seen the trending topic, you would have gone to meet up with Miss Everheart already. At
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe very least, you should be so excited that you would be freaking out... There's no way you would
remain this calm!"
Elijah was emotional and puzzled.
"What does she have to do with me? Why must I meet up with her just because she's returned to
Beach City?"
Stefan's questions struck Elijah dumb.
'Well..."
Stefan snorted. "Do I look like I haven't gotten over her?"
"Uhh... you do!"
At the risk of being thrown out, Elijah murmured, "Although you try to act like you're fine, and you're
doing a good job of that, you secretly stare at her picture every night. You also get crazy whenever
you're drunk and would bawl your eyes out while grabbing onto me. Don't you remember that just last
month, you..."
"Shut up!"
Stefan's expression darkened. He coldly interrupted Elijah. "She's not that important to me. She's just a
passerby in my life. It doesn't concern me where she is, and I have no intention of meeting with her.
Don't mention her in front of me ever again!"
"But..."
"If you have so much free time, I don't mind giving you more work. If that's all, then get out!"
Stefan suddenly got mad and Elijah could feel an even bigger storm coming, so he did not dare say
anything else. He quickly withdrew from the CEO's office.
Outside, a group of executives were pacing back and forth, waiting to feed on the latest gossip.
"So? Did Mr. Hunt get emotional? Did he cry?"
'When will they meet? Will their love rekindle?"
Elijah did not say anything. He merely shrugged and looked helpless.
It could not be helped. Their CEO was very hard to read. No one could tell what he was thinking!

After Stefan shooed Elijah away, just as he was about to go back to his work, his phone rang.
The first person to call was Xavier. His shouting almost shattered Stefan's eardrum.
"Stefan, look at today's trending topic! It's your little darling wife! After disappearing for four years, she's
transformed into a bombshell! Her face, her figure, her aura... No man can withstand her charm! When
will you..."
Stefan hung up with a snap before Xavier could finish talking.
Immediately afterwards, Christopher called.
"Stef, Miss Everheard is back. Are you okay?"
Stefan said coldly, "I'm fine."
"Are you sure? Do you want to go grab a drink?"
"I’m fine."
"I don't think you are. After all, the last few years, you've..." "I need to take care of something. Talk to
you later." Stefan quickly ended the conversation.
