�Please, no!�

Xavier rushed over and tried to flatter him. �Stefan, I�m here for a reason! It�s serious business!�

�Here for a reason?! When Stefan heard those words, he remembered his unpleasant exchange with Renee and got angrier.

�What business do you have? Don�t blabber, or I�ll ban you.�

After that. Stefan continued to bury himself in work. He had a cold aura around him, as though he was an iceberg completely. isolated from the world.

�Gee. Stefan�s really pissed!� Xavier thought and gulped. He finally realized Rachel�s good intentions in telling him to come back another day. As Xavier turned to Rachel, trying to ask for help, Rachel obligingly smiled at him and left. �Mr. Stuarts, please feel free to talk to Mr. Hunt. I�m going back to work.�

And then� She just left like that!

�Damn! Rachel, seriously?!�

Xavier watched Rachel as she casually locked the door and left the room. He suddenly felt a sense of despair, like he�d been strategically fed to the beast.

�Nevermind,� he thought. �I�m here already. I might as well carry on.'

After all, who else would suffer here if not him?

�Ahem!�

Xavier took a long time before he finally mustered the courage to talk to Stefan, whose face had been cold the whole time.� Stefan, it�s just you and me here. If you really feel bad, just cry it out. Numbing yourself with work won�t solve the problem. It�s okay. Just cry. It�s not embarrassing for men to cry!�

Confused, Stefan looked up at Xavier, who looked like an idiot. He pursed his lips and said nothing.

�We�re brothers. Relax. We�ve seen the video where you knelt to beg your ex-wife to stay. I never thought you�d love her so much. Well, she�s not really my type, but I�ll accept it since you like her.�

Xavier recalled the few times he had met Renee in person. He could not help but shake his head in disbelief.

He failed to understand how Stefan could fall for a girl like Renee and love her so much. His taste in women was so different.

�Stefan, you need to do something. You may not have much experience in love, but you should�ve been able to deal with a girl like Renee. Why does she have more control over you? That won�t do��

Xavier patted his chest and encouraged. �You�re better than me in business, but I�m better than you in love. It looks like it�s time. to teach you some tips on courting women. We have to win this!�

Stefan was arrogant and cold, �I was drunk and spouting nonsense in the video. The video is irrelevant, also. She�s my ex- wife. She�s not your type, but does it matter? Don�t get yourself involved.� JrNovels.com
