Chapter 565
“You‘re single. What are you going there for?” skce Cooper, without lifting his licad.
“I’ve got a date.”
Upon hearing that, Cooper lifted his headline cyce Bertilla. “You should be meeting someone at this age. Okay, then. You may leave.”
Bertilla humed in response. Before exiting the ollice, le said casually, “Ms. Rachford was the one who introduced me to that girl. She’s really pretty. I think she’s Mr. Faulkner’s cousin.”
Hearing that, Cooper narrowed his eyes and queried, “You mcan Jane Faulkner?”
-Yes.”
When Bertilla left the roon. Cooper suddenly felt uncasy. Hence, he picked up his phone and dialed Genevieve’s number. “Genev, why did you introduce Jane to Bertilla?”
“Why not? Bertilla’s single anyway.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCooper massaged his knitted brows. “Jane’s heart is unwell. How would Bertilla-”
Smiling, Genevieve interrupted, “I’ve told Bertilla about this already. He says he doesn’t mind it. Coop, don’t inake him stay in the oflice today, okay? It’s the Sky Lantern Festival. What if they end up together by releasing a lantern? Wouldn’t that be amazing?”
Amazing my foot!
Cooper hung up, suppressing his frustration.
After contemplating for some time, he picked up the coat from the stand and marched out of his office.
Bertilla was leaving at the same time. When he saw Cooper walking over, the former surmised Cenevieve’s predictions were right. Despite that, he still approached Cooper and asked casually. “Mr. Sutton, are you leaving for the club so soon?”
“You‘re going on my behalf. I’m going to Primrose River.” Cooper put on his coat with a stern expression
Bertilla was stunned. “But 14”
Cooper cut in impatiently, “Genev invited me. It wasn’t easy inviting Mr. Shepherd to Jadeborough, I can’t stand him up, so you’ll deliver the gift on my chall. Your task tonight will be counted as overtime. You’ll get four days of leave in replacement.”
“Okay.” Wow. I get a short vacation by just delivering something. This is such a great deal!
Bertilla was so clated that he almost burst out laughing. I wonder if Mr. Sutton will get mad once he finds out the truth.
Upon arriving at the underground parking lot, Cooper handed Bertilla the gift and asked, “Do you have Jane’s number?”
“No,” Bertilla admitted. “Ms. Rachford only sent me Ms. Jane’s picture.”
“Delete it,” Cooper ordered coldly before opening the door and entering the car.
Bertilla watched the car speed out of the underground parking lot before taking out his phone and sending Genevieve a text to inform her that Cooper was on his way.
Meanwhile, a victorious smile appeared on Genevieve’s face as soon as she read the text.
I knew he‘d not sit still.
Since it was not time to release the lanterns, Jane and Genevieve strolled along the riverbank. Seeing the subtle smile on the latter’s face, Jane asked curiously, “Genevieve, why are you smiling so happily?”
“It’s sky lantern day. Of course I’m happy,” Genevieve said, grinning.
She led Jane through the crowd to get some sky lanterns from the convenience store beside the cafe.
At the same time, more people were slowly gathering on both sides of the riverbank.
A gentle breeze blew past when it was time to release the lanterns. Many people lit up theirs that had wishes written on them. Upon releasing them into the sky, they watched the lanterns move with the wind.
Candle flames flickered all over the sky, making it a majestic and breathtaking sight. Thanks to the candlelights, the dark sky looked like the milky way.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGenevieve was born and bred in Jadeborough. If not for her studies abroad that prevented her from returning, she would have come back every year and attended the Sky Lantern Festival with Cooper and her parents.
Being surrounded by sky lanterns made her feel as if she was the happiest person on earth.
Though it had been a few years since she last joined the festival, the place was still as crowded and mind-blowing as ever. Even so, she felt a little lonely.
She felt that she should not be enjoying such a beautiful scene alone.
The massive crowd squeezed their way through in every direction, and continuous laughter rang out in the air. Through her blurry vision, Genevieve could vaguely see a towering back standing alone in the dark. It was as if he was wrapped in an air of loneliness.
Genevieve could see his figure slowly becoming clearer as the lanterns’ lights shone on him. Subconsciously, she took a step forward and started running over.
She got closer and closer until both of them were only half a meter apart. Stopping in her tracks, she stared at the man’s back and probed, “A-Armand?”
The tall man turned around, revealing the fox mask on his face. His pitch-black eyes, hiding behind the mask, stared fixedly at hier.
Boldly stepping forward, Genevieve went on her liptoc and removed the man’s mask.
She instantly gasped,
