After Haze left, the atmosphere became calm again.

�If there�s nothing else,� said Renee to Stefan, �then I�m leaving now.�

After all, she had performed the obligatory public display of affection, and even Haze had left. There was simply no reason for her to remain at H Group

�Free up your evening.� Stefan ordered as he sat at his office table, burying himself in his work.

Renee was extremely irritated by the authoritative air he exuded, as if he was ordering her around.

�What for?� She growled.

Stefan did not answer her. Instead, he opened a drawer and took out a beautiful gift box. He handed it to Renee and said, �Be at the banquet hall on the first floor of the Cosmopolitan Hotel this evening, at eight o�clock sharp. Make sure to dress well.�

Renee had just arrived by taxi. She was wearing a drab brown windbreaker and her hair was casually tied up in a messy bun. Her appearance was a stark contrast to the other ladies around her who were all dolled up in glamorous dresses.

Unsurprisingly, she was stopped by the security guard when she was about to enter.

�Show me your invitation card,� the guard demanded.

�I don�t have one,� she replied honestly.

�Then get the hell out of here. This is an exclusive event, so you can�t just barge in here.�

Or at least, she still was� for now. JrNovels.com
