As expected, her words were like adding fuel to the fire, burning the little bit of rationality he had to a crisp.

He immediately grabbed the woman by the wrists, and pulled her into his arms. His eyes were filled with desire as he glared at her as if he wanted to eat her up.

�Renee Everheart, do you really hate me that much? Are you really willing to suffer, just for the sake of cutting ties with me?� The man questioned frostily.

Renee wasn�t afraid at all, and she stared back at the man expressionlessly the whole time. She scoffed and said, �Shouldn�t you be happy I�m cutting ties with you? Why are you still barking at me like a dog? Or� could it be that you still have feelings for me, Mr. Hunt?�

Renee actually just intended to annoy him. She assumed that a prideful man like him wouldn�t be willing to be the pursuer in the relationship, as it would make him seem desperate.

She thought he would retaliate by insulting her, but� the man�s response was out of her expectations.

�Yeah, I do! I do still have feelings for you, and I never want us to separate. What about it?� Stefan snarled at her, his eyes blazing.

�You�� Renee was so shocked that she couldn�t come up with anything to say.

Stefan narrowed his eyes at her, and growled, �Do you think I have nothing to do with my life, Everheart? Do you think I was creating opportunities to meet you for absolutely no reason? Do you think you�re the only one who knows how to use a telescope to spy on someone?�

�Those nights when you had to work overtime, when you had to pull all-nighters, when you were stretching just to keep yourself awake, when you were drinking coffee at your desk, when you were dancing around while listening to music� If you had just turned around, you would�ve seen just how much affection I had for you!�

�I�ll admit that I sealed my heart away, and that I swore to never fall for you again. But when you appear before my eyes, all my efforts go to waste!�

�You�re just so great, aren�t you? You�re able to manipulate my emotions however you please! So how are you going to take responsibility for me, huh? Have you ever thought about that?!� Stefan bit out furiously, his words desperate but his tone arrogant. Renee never would have expected the situation to turn out this way.

Renee thought to herself, �Isn�t Stefan Hunt the most cocky and heartless person? How could he possibly have this many thoughts hidden away?�

�Hunt, you�re� you�re joking, right? Or have you been drinking? Is this the alcohol talking?� She knew how low the man�s alcohol tolerance was, so it was still a possibility that this was the case.

The woman refused to believe that he would ever hold such deep love for her, especially considering their terrible past relationship with each other, and the fact that she had seen his sheer ruthlessness.

The woman�s question was just like a bucket of water, extinguishing all of Stefan�s burning passion. Instantly, his rationality returned, and the longing in his eyes was quickly replaced with hostility. Stefan then let go of her hands and sneered, �Renee Everheart, is your heart made of stone? You really are the cruelest, most dense woman I have ever met!�

�Hey, don�t try to pin the blame on me, you should know which of us is truly the cruelest and-�

�Whatever!� Stefan interrupted her, not wanting to continue the conversation. After all, he was the CEO of H Group, a man who had always been in the highest position within his field. Normally, he was the one rejecting others, not the other way around.

Despite putting his ego aside, all he received in return was doubt and jest from the woman, leaving him feeling as though she could easily crush his self-esteem.

He thought, �I am THE Stefan Hunt, and I refuse to let myself go through such humiliation!� JrNovels.com
