“No way!”Renee's attitude was firm. "He's not worthy. I'll only cook for people who are worth my time.”“Then what about me?”Mr. Q asked.“You?”Renee was still thinking about it when Mr. Q said with a smile, "I'm kidding. I'm more interested in cooking for you than tasting your cooking.”“I can see that you're someone who gives more than he takes, like the old me. As someone who has experience in this matter, let me give you a piece of advice. Stop doing that. You should love yourself more.”He shook his head, then murmured as if talking to himself, "Sometimes being able to cook for the person you like is also a kind of happiness.”“...”Renee was stunned. She blushed involuntarily.'What is he doing? Confessing?'She was particularly empathetic to words like that, so she was easily touched by them.“Don't get me wrong. My definition of “like” here is very broad. It includes people like Adie and Abby. I like to cook for them too.”He probably noticed Renee's shyness, so
“Who?”Renee's eyes widened. She eagerly pressed him for the answer.“You should be very familiar with this person...”Mr. Q paused and said, "It's your ex-husband, Stefan Hunt.”Renee: “...”Stefan Hunt again?!She was truly fed up with him. Why was he everywhere?!“You're kidding, right? My investigation shows that the Rainbow Glaze is currently stored in the Carmine Pawnshop.”Hanging on to the last glimmer of hope, Renee sought confirmation from Mr. Q.The way she saw it, she was on better terms with Mr. Q than with Stefan.Instead of begging Stefan, she would rather beg Mr. Q.“That's what people say, but the real Rainbow Glaze is still in Stefan Hunt's hands. We had a huge battle many years ago, during which I tried to snatch the Rainbow Glaze from him, but as you know, I suffered a disastrous defeat... We've been on a truce ever since. We try not to tread on each other's toes,” Mr. Q narrated it flatly as if he was telling someone else's story.Legend had it that the
Stefan picked up the latte in front of him, took a small sip, and said flatly, "Okay. You have five minutes left.”Renee: “...”Damn it, she was so mad! This smug bastard! She wanted to hit him!“You have nothing to say?”Stefan raised his eyebrows and said arrogantly, "You have two minutes left. I'm tempted to just get up and leave right now.”“Stefan Hunt! What's with the attitude?”In the end, Renee could not hold back anymore. She yelled at him, "You've wasted plenty of my time yourself. I can't even have a cup of coffee with you now? What are you busy with? Your funeral?”Stefan crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa. "Yup, that's more like you.”Renee: “...”There were many white-collar workers in the cafe.Stefan and Renee were both famous, so they attracted a lot of attention.Renee lowered her voice as much as she could and breached the topic in a roundabout way, "We were married for four years. As my ex-husband, have you ever felt guilty for not fulfilling yo
Stefan's expression, which was originally playful, instantly became serious. He asked, "Who told you that I have the Rainbow Glaze?”“Don't you worry about that.”Renee was naturally not so foolish that she would tell Stefan about Mr. Q. She lifted her chin and asked righteously, "Will you or will you not lend it to me?”Stefan slender fingers tapped the table unconsciously. He inquired further, "Why do you need the Rainbow Glaze?”“Don't you worry about that either.”Renee also did not want to tell him about the transaction between herself and Rubio Pascal. The less involved he was in her affairs, the better.If it weren't because the Rainbow Glaze happened to be in his possession, she would never have come to him!“Why should I help you when you don't tell me anything?”Stefan's eyes became colder, and his tone of voice also became more unfriendly. He turned into an iceberg again.The air around him seemed to freeze. Anyone within a kilometer's radius could feel the chill in
But right now, she felt like she did not know him that well at all. She did not know what he was thinking and what he really wanted.“Can you say something that I can understand, please? What does “a real and authentic” wife mean? What does “a wife that only belongs to you” mean?”Renee could not understand what Stefan was trying to express. She said impatiently, "Let's keep this simple. What do you want? What do you need from me in exchange for the Rainbow Glaze?”“I told you, I want you to fulfill your responsibility as a wife.”Stefan paused for a moment. She thought Renee probably wouldn't understand what he meant, so he gestured at her to move closer.Renee foolishly leaned forward and moved her ear close to Stefan's lips to hear what he had to say.She then heard Stefan say, "The responsibility to please your husband in bed.”“...”Renee's face instantly turned red all the way to the base of her neck. In shame and anger, she picked up her coffee cup and splashed the hands
Renee calmed herself down and returned to the Azure Group.“Ms. Everheart!”The employees were delighted to see Renee return safely. They happily greeted her.All the employees that still remained at the Azure Group were loyal people who were determined to follow Renee.Although there were not many of them, and their abilities could not be considered outstanding, they were all passionate, gutsy people. They made sure to properly complete all the tasks they were assigned.Renee nodded to the employees, then turned to her assistant, Shelley, and said, "Notify every department that we will be holding the monthly meeting right away. All the employees must attend.”“Yes, Ms. Everheart!”Shelley replied respectfully.At the same time, Shelley thought to herself that Ms. Everheart seemed to be in a great mood. She and Mr. Hunt must have had a great time together last night. That meant... the “marriage alliance” between the Azure Group and the Hunt Enterprise would very likely happen.
Jay got more and more emotional as he spoke.That was because he was the person in charge of establishing the R&D Department and the Production Department. He watched money flow out of the accounts every day without any income, so he was very anxious!“That's a good question.”Renee snapped her fingers, then addressed the company employees with a calm expression, "I believe many of you here have the same question as Mr. Yassin. I didn't want to explain too much before, but everyone here stayed behind for me, so we're all in the same boat now. You have the right to know about all the decisions made by the company.”“The reason why I want to quickly build an R&D Department and a Production Department is because the company is about to enter a high-speed operational period. In half a month to a month's time, we will become the largest “G6 chips” manufacturer in the entire Beach City and maybe even in the entire Aeos. If we don't start to prepare now, when the order comes in, we won't
Renee was busy with work. She did not have much time to browse the internet on her phone, let alone pay attention to entertainment gossip.Therefore, even if the “hot gossip” posted by the paparazzi was already a hot topic online, she remained oblivious to it.By the time she was done with work, it was already time to go home.She stretched, leaned back against her chair, and looked up at the white ceiling while planning in her mind how to obtain the Rainbow Glaze in secret.She picked up the coffee Shelley brewed for her to give it a sip.“Ah, Ms. Everheart, stop!”Shelley rushed in like a flying arrow, snatched the cup of coffee from Renee's hand, and said with a serious expression, "How can you still drink coffee?”Renee was confused. "Why can't I drink coffee?”“Coffee...”Shelley took a quick glance at Renee's stomach. She thought that Renee's stubborn personality was preventing her from admitting the truth, so she said vaguely, "Coffee's not good for your body. Drink mil
