Shelley searched around but did not find Renee, so she figured Renee must have gone home.

Shelley said to Stefan, who was still sitting in Renee�s chair, �Mr. Hunt, Miss Everheart must have gone home. This is Azure Group�s office, so I hope you remember your position as an outsider. You should leave now. I�m going to lock the door.�

Stefan rested his chin on his interlocked fingers, then said with a cold look in his eyes, �No, she�s not home yet.�

If she had gone home, he would have seen her.

�If she�s not home, where else could she be?� Shelley gathered her courage and questioned Stefan,

�Mr. Hunt, you insist on staying and wont leave. Are you trying to steal the company�s secrets?�

Stefan snorted in disdain. �This is such a small workshop. What secrets would this company have that are worth stealing?"

Shelley fought the urge to roll her eyes, and said awkwardly, �Right. H Group wouldn�t have to steal information from Azure Group. Even if they did, it�s unlikely for you to steal it yourself. So, why are you refusing to leave? Are you worried about Miss Everheart?�

Stefan did not deny or admit it.

Stefan�s affection warmed Shelley�s heart. She then suggested in a whisper,

�Do you have her family�s phone number? Why don�t we call her family and ask if she went back? It�s getting late. Even if you keep waiting here, it won�t help!�

�I�ve been divorced from her for so long, so how could I have her family�s phone number? Besides, she�s the only one left in her family. There�s no one to contact.� Stefan�s tone was a little sad.

When he thought about it, Renee had such a painful past, but she was still so optimistic and brave. She had been working hard alone all these years. It must have been hard for her, right?

�Ah. I almost forgot about Miss Everheart�s sad past. She married a heartless man like you after thedownfall of her family. As a result, she got divorced at a young age. I think someone was gossiping about Miss Everheart this morning and looked down on her for being divorced."

�Really?� Stefan�s gaze instantly turned cold.

�What do you think? Some women are like foul-mouthed bullies. They love making things difficult for other women.�

�Do you know who it was? I�ll make them pay for saying such terrible things!� Stefan was angry to learn that others looked down on Renee because of her divorce. He felt responsible and wanted to take revenge for her!

�I don�t really know. A few young girls were gossiping. These days, there are plenty of people with no morals, and there are also many perverts around� I heard of some in our office building. The pervert will usually lurk around the entrance to the women�s restroom and secretly film women�" Shelley paused, feeling a little disgusted. Men could be such vile creatures.

�Pervert?� Stefan frowned a little and asked, "Was the pervert caught?�

�Yes, but he was fired and got a small fine. Who knows if he went somewhere else to commit another crime�� JrNovels.com
