Chapter 564
The next day, Genevieve went off to have lunch with Jane after settling some things in the company.
When they were donc ordering their food, Genevieve poured some coffee for both of them. “Jane, do you have any plans tonight?”
“No.”
“Me too. Why don’t we go to Primrose River to fly some lanterns?” Genevieve took a sip of the coffee and said with a smile, “I heard that making wishes while releasing the lanterns can make them come truc.”
Jane held her cup and said absentmindedly, “Okay.”
Soon, the dishes were served. Genevieve ate a piece of stir-fried beef, and she frowned. It differed from the one Bruce made.
I come to this restaurant all the time. Why didn‘t I find it bland in the past? Looks like I‘ve overestimated myself. Bruce has only made me three meals, and it has ruined my palate.
Sceing Genevieve sigh, Jane lifted her head to look at the former. “What’s wrong, Genevieve?”
“It’s nothing.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith every bite Genevieve took, she could not help but compare the food to Bruce’s cooking. The more she compared the dishes, the harder it was for her to eat.
After taking a few bites of the food, she put down her utensils.
When Genevieve and Jane returned to the company, the receptionist stopped the former. “Ms. Rachford, your lunch has arrived.”
Seeing the receptionist taking out a bear-patterned lunch box, Genevieve said, “I didn’t order anything for lunch, though. Did Bertilla from Specter Corporation deliver this?”
“No.”
Right then, Genevieve’s phone vibrated. It was a WhatsApp message from Bruce.
It read: Ms. Rachford, I‘ve prepared some grilled meat and pesto pasta today. I‘ve sent someone to deliver it to your company. Hah! Who wants to eat your cooking?
Genevieve mocked him in her heart. At first, she wanted to let the receptionist get rid of it, but in the end, she still brought the lunchbox back to her office.
Thelunchbox had two layers. The top layer contained pieces of grilled meat wrapped in lettuce, which were neatly arranged in the container, while the bottom layer contained pesto pasta. They looked incredibly appetizing.
After arranging them properly on the table, Genevieve placed a piece of readily wrapped grilled
mcat into her mouth.
“The mcat was grilled to perfection. With thic savoriness of thic sauce and the sweetness from the lettuce, it was amazingly delicious.
As she was busy munching on the food, she received another text.
Bruce wrote: Ms. Rachford, you really misunderstood me yesterday. I wasn‘t thinking of Coco. I just remembered a scene from a movie and felt sad.
He sent another text: Besides, I dislike women. Didn‘t you notice / slayed away from Coco when she came looking for me that day?
Another one canic in: It‘s okay if you don‘t want to see me. Just let me know what you want to eat. I can get someone to send it to you. By the way, I‘m going to Frosa to film a movie on the si.cth.
Genevieve was stunned by the chain of messages sent by Bruce.
An all actors that obscrvant? I didn‘t say anything yesterdaybut he still realized why I was angry.
However, the fact that he was so understanding made her feel that she was being too petty.
Moreover, she was not in a relationship with him, which made it a little odd for her to get angry by misunderstanding him for thinking about his ex-girlfriend.
Even so, Genevieve quickly found an excuse for herself. I was just worried Bruce might fall for his er girlfriend‘s attacks. If that happens, it‘ll ruin his career that‘s starting to go well.
She felt much better at that thought.
After finishing the grilled meat, Genevieve finally replied to his text: I‘ll let you know what I want for tomorrow.
Bruce: Okay. There‘s a sky lantern festival at Primrose River tonight. Would you like to go?
Genevieve stared at the text for a while before replying: I‘ve invited a friend to the festival tonight. I‘ll see you there.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBruce replied with a cute, nodding emoji.
Both of them texted each other a lot, but it only contained words, which made the conversation look serious. Thus, Genevieve burst out laughing when she saw the emoji Bruce sent,
Soon, Genevieve finished the grilled meat and pasta, and she felt slightly bloated.
I bet his cooking skills actually aren‘t that great. He must‘ve added some special spice to the dishes he prepared for me. That must be why I crave his food all the time.
She worked hard until it was six o‘clock in the evening. Then, she went to the lounge to change out of her office attire before going to the film department to look for Jane.
When Genevieve and Jane arrived at Primrose River, the sun had already set, and many people
had already gathered by the bank.
Primrose River was Jadeborough’s main river. Bencat the Bridge of Truth were many cafes and dessert shops along the bank. Every night, the decorative lights on the Bridge of Truth would change their colors according to the night. It was a great place for a walk and picture-taking
Every year, during the Sky Lantern Festival, thousands of people would come to Primrose River to fly their lanterns, making it a majestic sight.
Genevieve sent Berulla a text to inform him they had arrived at Primrose River.
Meanwhile, at Specter Corporation, Bertilla, who received Genevieve’s text, took a deep breath and mustered his courage to knock on the CEO’s door.
Entering the office, Bertilla said in an awkward tone, “Mr. Sutton, you’ll have to drive to the club on your own later. I’m going to Primrose River for the Sky Lantern Festival tonight.”
