Chapter 402

“Stop!”

Renee reached out and placed her hands between them while saying with a weird smile, “Not so close.

Our relationship is one of purely friendship, so we should maintain an appropriate distance from each other.”

“It’s purely friendship to you, but not to me…”

A mischievous smile crept onto Haze’s handsome and unruly face. Not only did he not keep his distance, he even grabbed Renee’s wrist and tried to pull her into his arms… Of course, the consequences were dire!

With dexterous movements, Renee counter-grappled his hand and easily held it behind his back. He might be nearly 1.9 meterstall, but she had him under total control.

‘You little brat, how dare you try to tease me. Do you realize your mistake now?”

Renee kept exerting more and more strength, wishing to teach Haze a lesson.

Haze’s arm was about to break. He gritted his teeth in pain but did not plead for mercy. Instead, he smiled happily. “What mistake? Is it against the law to like you? You disappeared for four years, and I’ve been thinking about you for four years. Is that a crime?”

‘You…!”

Renee’s face instantly turned crimson.

She could not believe Haze had become so flirtatious after four years. He was so good at pick-up lines now… No, he was flirtatious too four years ago!

Compared to Stefan who was cold and arrogant and had probably never uttered a single pick-up line in his life, Haze had always been direct and passionate!

If he had 10 points of love for you, he would express his love with 100 points or even 1000 points of enthusiasm.

On the other hand, if Stefan had 10 points of love for you, he would express his love with -10 points of enthusiasm.

Men could be really different from one another.

“Looks like you don’t want your arm anymore, Justin Baldwin. Fine, I’ll grant you your wish and break it for you!”

Renee did not want him to see that his flirting had an effect on her, so she could only ramp up the violence to teach him a lesson.

Haze was in so much pain that his forehead was drenched in sweat, but he still maintained a mesmerizing smile on his face. “Go ahead. If I lose my arm, I’ll stick to you forever.”

“Ugh!”

Upon hearing that, Renee immediately let go of him and said, “You’re so oily. You’re oilier than an oilfield. You win.”

Haze waved his arm about and found that it had dislocated a little bit. He kept shaking his head and sighing. “Tsk Tsk, f*ck my life. Why did I fall in love with a female warrior? Looks like I have to sign up for some self defense classes so that I can last longer.”

Renee was speechless and did not respond.

She looked around at their romantic surroundings, pulled out a chair at a table by the window, and sat down.

Haze elegantly sat down across from her.

The waiter brought roses, steak, and wine, as well as a blue flame fireworks show. It was a more elaborate candlelight dinner than what Renee saw in TV dramas. However, she seemed disinterested.

“So, you’re the second highest donor who scammed Stefan of 4 million dollars last night. Why are you here instead?”

Renee asked curiously after taking a sip of wine.

“What do you mean I scammed him of 4 million dollars? Do I have to remind you that as the second highest donor, I donated close to that amount as well?”

While swaying his wine glass, Haze looked Renee in the eye and asked, ’ Are you disappointed that I’m the one who came today?”

Renee shrugged and replied honestly, “I wouldn’t say disappointed, just a bit surprised.”

“What’s so surprising about it? The top donor didn’t want to come, so I naturally took his place as the second highest donor.”

“How do you know he didn’t want to come?”

“It’s simple. You and I are both top class hackers. All I need to do is hack into the H Group’s internal system to check his schedule for the evening.”

Haze took a sip of wine with smiley eyes.

“Looks like H Group’s systems are still as bad as ever!”

Renee snorted and asked, “So what’s his schedule for the evening?”

“Are you sure you want to know?”

Haze said meaningfully, “If you find out, you might be sad…”

Renee couldn’t help rolling her eyes. She said coldly, “If he could still affect my emotions, I would never have attended this dinner… I don’t mind coming here because I’m already over him.”

‘That’s great! That means I have a chance.
