Chapter 141
Elijah could hardly stifle his laughter as soon as he saw the playlist.
The first song Stefan had chosen was one called “Love Is Like A Tide,” while the second song was “When Our Love Was In The Past.” The third song was “Love that Came Too Late, “…
In short, he had selected love songs that dealt with heartbreak, failed love, and regrets that came too late.
It seemed like Mrs. Hunt had really given Stefan quite a blow today.
Typically, Stefan led his life solely on the basis of reason and rationality, but as soon as he got drunk, he would instantly reveal the hidden side of his personality….
But the best person to cure his current ailment would be the one who had caused it in the first place, which meant that the only person who could save him from this bad habit of getting drunk and singing lovesick songs in a karaoke bar was Mrs. Hunt herself and no one else!
After singing a few songs with Stefan, Elijah excused himself, saying, “You go on and sing, Mr. Hunt. I need to go to the restroom for a while.”
Then, with his phone in hand, he slipped into the restroom.
Stefan’s profoundly fetching eyes stared passionately at the screen as he sang his heart out. He was in no mood to pay any attention to Elijah.
Meanwhile, Elijah hid himself in the restroom and dialed Renee’s number. As soon as she answered, he instantly lamented, ” Please come quickly, Madam! Mr. Hunt is in big trouble!”
By the time she picked up the call, Renee was already home and comfortably soaking in the bath.
“That’s none of my business,” she replied nonchalantly. “Please don’t call again without my permission. I’m hanging up now.
“No, please don’t! Madam, you have to see him, because…”
Elijah racked his brain for a way to trick Renee into coming. In the end, he agitatedly added, “Because Mr. Hunt got drunk and realized that he never wanted to get a divorce. He deeply regrets letting you go, and he’s causing a commotion now… he’s attempting to kill himself! He’s claiming that he will jump to his death if you don’t see him!”
guy,
‘I’m sorry, Boss, but this is all done for the future and happiness between you and Mrs. Hunt,‘ he thought simultaneously.‘ I’m forced to ruin your impeccable image for now, but I’m sure you’ll thank me once you’ve reconciled with Mrs. Hunt!‘
“Elijah,” Renee rolled her eyes once she heard what Elijah had just told her. “You’ve always been a smart and reasonable so why are you spewing bullsh*t at me? We have no grievances, so why do you take me for a fool? How could you not realize I’d know exactly what kind of guy Stefan Hunt is? Did you really expect me to believe that he’d lose his mind over love?”
“Why not?” Elijah countered. “I know Mr. Hunt always appears cool and level–headed, but he loses himself the moment he gets drunk!”
“Even if that’s true,” argued Renee, “he would not lose his mind over me because there was any love between him and me. If you continue to spew such nonsense, Elijah, I swear I’ll block your number.”
She then hung up immediately without another word.
She cursed herself for forgetting to block Elijah’s number, even though she had already blocked Stefan’s. What a silly mistake! Soon afterward, she received a text message from Elijah about the location of a karaoke bar, accompanied by the following words: “Madam, you’ve really underestimated Mr. Hunt’s feelings for you!”
Renee turned off her phone completely and closed her eyes. She tried to continue enjoying her warm bath but only grew increasingly restless.
Judging by how he looked before she left, Stefan really had drunk a lot of wine and was getting quite drunk. She recalled how she had never seen him so drunk before, apart from that night when he lost control.
What if he actually did something stupid after losing his self–control? Even if he did not lose his mind because of her, it would still be partially her fault….
As she contemplated the matter for a while, Renee finally let out a long sigh and got out of the bathtub. She quickly dressed casually and headed towards the address Elijah sent her.
Meanwhile, Elijah was still hiding in the restroom with his phone in his hand. He was betting on Renee’s feelings for Stefan. He firmly believed that Renee’s deep love for Stefan would make her drag herself out here and come to Stefan, even though she had repeatedly affirmed that she did not care about Stefan at all.
In that case, if he went outside and joined Stefan now, would that not make him the biggest, most useless third wheel of all time?
Hence, Elijah resolved to hold his position sitting on the toilet the whole time before Renee arrived!
Not long after that, Renee arrived at the same karaoke bar. The manager asked her if she was looking for someone.
“I’m looking for the most handsome guest you have here today,” she answered bluntly.
The manager quickly nodded knowingly and said, “We happen to have an almost supernaturally handsome guest, but I don’t think it’s the best idea to meet him now because he’s really busy.”
“Busy?” Renee frowned. “Busy doing what? Killing himself?”
“You’re a funny one!” the manager laughed.
He then grinned and only answered in vague terms, saying, “I won’t waste your time saying much. Why don’t you just go take a peek yourself? He’s in Lounge V1. Also, if you need anything, just tell me! We offer our services to both men and women.”
His answer only filled Renee with confusion, but she still proceeded towards the private lounge where Stefan was, according to the manager’s directions.
From a distance, she could already hear Stefan’s singing accompanied by the sound of laughter. She couldn’t help but clench her fists tightly, wishing they would bludgeon Elijah up to death.
This was… nothing like the atmosphere where someone was trying to kill themselves!
Nevertheless, since she was already here, she still pushed the door open and entered the private lounge, ready to see what was really going on there.
She ended up completely dumbfounded.
“Stefan Hunt! You guys are…!”
