“I’m sorry, Mr. Hunt, I’ve misspoken. I just don’t want to see you making the same mistakes. After all, Miss Everheart-“
“She already knows the truth so I trust that she will understand.” Stefan obviously knew that he should treat Briar as nothing more than a dead woman but she was still the woman his brother had once loved deeply so he did not want her to meet a cruel fate.
“Miss Everheart knows the truth?” Elijah was shocked and confused. “Wait but then she’d know that you were merely bound by circumstance right? Why is she still avoiding you like the plague? Could it be that… she’s fallen for another?”
“Maybe.” Stefan seemed weirdly calm which puzzled Elijah further.
“That’s not right Mr. Hunt. You would’ve flipped if she fell in love with another man so why are you being so calm about this? You’re not usually so generous when it comes to Miss Everheart!”
The more egotistical a man is the more possessive he becomes. Hence it was only natural for him to hope that the woman he loved would only have eyes for him. No one would be able to accept infidelity let alone Stefan Hunt a man known for his pride. He was acting completely out of character.
“No matter who she falls for the only person who can make her heart race is me. I don’t have to get jealous over some irrelevant person” Stefan replied casually.
Elijah was dumbfounded and chuckled awkwardly. “Mr Hunt is this some kind of riddle? What do you mean irrelevant? I-“
“This conversation is over.” Stefan stopped Elijah from asking any more questions. He wasn’t one to express his feelings so he would never reveal just how strongly he felt for Renee. He was also quite annoyed at the fact that Elijah was practically forcing an answer out of him.
“Alright let’s talk about that manipulative witch Desrosiers then…” Elijah sighed. “Truthfully I did obtain information about the last person she contacted. Coincidentally… that person was none other than Miss Everheart.”
Stefan narrowed his eyes his expression solemn. “She contacted Renee?”
“Yeah her last call was with Miss Everheart and they talked for over two hours. However we couldn’t obtain the call recording so Miss Everheart might just be the only one who knows the actual situation…”
Elijah then paused and reminded his boss. “Besides Miss Everheart has never gotten along with Desrosiers. If you question her about this out of nowhere it could potentially ruin your relationship again.”
“I will ask her about the call if needed” Stefan said as he stared at the drunk woman. His voice sounded soft but his resolution was clear.
“Mr. Hunt I have a question but I’m not sure if it is appropriate.”
“If you have to wonder then it’s probably not.”
“Well after some consideration I think this question is quite important.”
“Go on then.”
“What if the investigation ended with you only being able to save either Miss Everheart or Desrosiers? Who would you choose then?” Elijah asked then held his breath awaiting the man’s answer.
He knew the question was crossing a boundary but his curiosity got the better of him.
