Like a proud emperor, Stefan sat there and haughtily glanced at the glass in Renee’s hand, which was filled to the brim with orange juice.
“Is that how you show your sincerity towards this industry?” He sneered.
“Sincerity is measured by what I do” Renee retorted coldly “not what I drink.”
She then turned to the top figures in the room and humbly stated “Gentlemen please forgive me for drinking orange juice instead of wine. I’m allergic to alcohol so unfortunately I can’t join you for a glass. Nonetheless please know that I hold all of you in the highest regard.”
“Orange juice instead of wine?” Stefan scoffed. “Do you think this is child’s play? The world of business is a battlefield where people fight to the death. No one here has any time to play with you. If you can’t adapt to this world you’d better just go home now and not waste anyone’s
time.”
Hearing this the crowd immediately sensed a rivalry between them. If they did not pick the right side their days in the field would be numbered. And so they targeted Renee echoing the sentiments that Stefan just made.
“Mr. Hunt has a point Ms. Everheart! No one drinks orange juice at the bar. Are you making
fun of us here?”
“You might be the new director of
treatment just because you’re a wo association but surely you’re not expecting special
right?”
“As the director of the association you will have to attend a lot of events in the future where socializing is necessary. If you can’t adapt to this kind of situation then I think you’d better step down as soon as possible!”
Stefan swirled the glass of red wine in his hand and raised his brows in satisfaction. He stared at Renee with a smug expression on his face as if looking down at a pesky bug who should never have been there in the first place.
Renee cursed him silently. She should have known that a spiteful and vindictive man like Stefan would never miss a chance to embarrass her! The truth was that Renee could hold her liquor remarkably well. The only problem was that she was pregnant right now so she could
any alcoholic drink.
not touch
‘Fine’ she thought ‘since Stefan is trying to challenge me I’ll just have to teach him what regret really feels like!’
“You’ve made a great point Mr. Hunt. It is my fault that I never considered this deeply enough.
You’re right I should drink some alcohol” Rence said graciously then downed the entire glass of orange juice in one gulp and picked up the wine decanter from the table. She poured herself a full glass of red wine then with a mysterious expression on her face she turned to Stefan and suddenly said “But wait! What’s the fun in just drinking the wine? Why don’t we play a finger guessing game Mr. Hunt? If you win I’ll drink as much as you like.”
Stefan’s icy gaze betrayed his disdain. Because of his status and reputation he had never played such a trivial drinking game with anyone before much less a woman.
you “Are you reluctant to play” teased Renee with a sly smile “because you’re afraid that might lose? If you’re afraid of a woman Mr. Hunt then I think you’re even less suited for the battlefield of business than I am!”
Everyone in the room gasped. What a bold and daring woman Renee Everheart was! It proved that you really shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. However considering these two used to be married to each other in the past they could not help but wonder if this was actually a lover’s quarrel with a flirtatious undertone.
Stefan stared at her coldly with his searching eyes and asked “Are you sure you want to play this game with me?”
“Of course! And the loser must agree unconditionally to anything that the winner requests. Are you game?”
“Fine. I’ll humor you this time but don’t blame me if you regret it later.” Stefan clasped his long fingers together. It was such a rare sight to see him agreeing to play such a trivial and common drinking game.
The truth was that he had not succumbed to Renee’s pressure. He was only trying to make her realize how hard the world of business was and retreat. If she could not handle a simple situation such as drinking alcohol in public then she’d be taken advantage of at every turn once she formally entered the field.
Meanwhile Elijah was so shocked at what was happening that his eyes almost fell out of their sockets. He simply could not believe that Stefan who had always despised drinking games like this would be willing to play one with Mrs. Hunt and in front of all these influential figures
too!
If this was not a clear sign of love he did not know what was!
Still Elijah knew that no matter what men were always better at the finger-guessing game than women were. He could not help but worry about Renee so he cautiously reminded Stefan “Please go easy on Ms. Everheart Mr. Hunt. She’s not been out much before so she’s definitely
not experienced in this kind of game.”
Renee put on a pitiful expression and echoed “That’s right Mr. Hunt! Please go easy on me…
I’m just a girl after all!”
However in her heart Renee was saying ‘I’ll show you who’s boss Stefan Hunt you douchebag!’
