Chapter 404

However, the encounter was too brief. It came and went in an instant, like two meteors that streaked

past each other.

One of them was going up while the other was going down. Neither of them stopped for the other.

"Hah, it seems Mr. Top Donor still cares about you. He's here for the dinner appointment."

When they arrived at the ground floor, Haze joked with a playful grin.

"He can do whatever he wants. It's none of my concern."

Renee walked gracefully to the parking lot, as if the encounter had never happened.

'You're not gonna go up and have a chat with him?"

‘The agreed time for the dinner is from 8 pm to 11 pm. It's already a quarter past 11. It's his fault that he

came late. My time's precious too. Why should I stay for him?"

Renee words were both rational and ruthless.

"True. Maybe he's here for a a dinner date with Briar Desrosiers. Otherwise, his expression wouldn't

have been so cold when you saw each other just now, as if he didn't even know you."

Haze put his hands in his pockets and analyzed in detail while looking up at the top of the tower.

Renee made no reply. She took out her car key and pressed the button to start the car.

"It's getting late. We should go home. See you next time!"

Renee waved her hand at Haze. Her beautiful face was expressionless, devoid of any emotion.

"I take that as a promise that there will be a next time.”

Haze reluctantly said goodbye to Renee.

Tsk tsk. He waited four years for this, but they parted ways again after just one dinner. He was far from

satisfied.

However, compared to Stefan who only had a few seconds of encounter with her, he seemed to be

much luckier.

Renee's red sports car whizzed through the night and quickly disappeared. It moved forward without

turning back, just like Renee who would never look back after making up her mind!

At the same time, Stefan was standing in front of the French window of the 520 top floor restaurant,

looking out of the window with a cold expression.

The brief encounter with Renee just now felt so unreal.

Although he had already seen her in the video, seeing her when they were only one step away from

each other felt completely different...

Stefan had to admit that his calm heart had rippled uncontrollably the moment his eyes met the

woman's.

Of course, he was confident enough to believe that Renee must have felt the same way. In fact, maybe

the encounter caused more than just ripples in her heart. Maybe it caused waves!

Stefan adjusted his pose, trying to look his coolest while waiting for Renee to come back up.

He had even thought of the first thing he would say to her later: "Don't misunderstand. I'm just passing

by."

No, that was terrible.

"Long time no see. I wonder how a 4 million dollar dinner would feel like."

But wouldn't that expose his identity as the top donor? It's too embarrassing!

Maybe: ''Fancy seeing you here. What brought you back to Beach City?"

But that felt...... too sarcastic?

Minutes passed. Stefan had gone through dozens of possible lines but Renee was still nowhere to be

seen.

'Damn it, is this woman playing hard to get?'

The arrogant CEO could not stand it anymore. He turned towards the restaurant entrance.

Apart from the staff, there was no one else there!

Stefan lifted his luxury watch and checked the time. Then, he muttered under his breath, "I'll give you

ten more minutes!"

Ten minutes passed.

The restaurant manager cautiously approached Stefan.

"Uhh, Mr. Hunt...
