Chapter 935
Something finally clicked for Armand after he helped himself to some pasta. Afterward, he turned to regard
Genevieve. “You obviously made this pasta, so why did you ask me to choose from amongst the rest of the dishes?”
“Pasta is considered a dish on its own too. How could you try to put that on me when you couldn't get it right
yourself?” replied Genevieve adamantly.
That rendered Armand speechless.
Feeling that the pasta she had prepared herself was a tad undercooked and hard to stomach, Genevieve decided
that she was done with it after a few mouthfuls. She then scooped the remainder of what she had left into
Armand's plate and helped herself to more servings of pork loin to satiate her belly.
After Armand cleaned up the table after their meal, Genevieve went to brush her teeth and also rinsed off an apple
while she was at it.
Since the building employed a centralized cooling system, the temperature in the room could not be adjusted. Out
of concern that the lightly dressed woman might catch a cold, Armand retrieved a blanket from a cabinet which he
subsequently used to cover Genevieve's legs.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce she was done paring the apple, Genevieve sliced off a piece of it and fed it to the man.
Armand held her close and stroked her hair. “What made you decide to drop by?”
Chewing the apple in her mouth, Genevieve mumbled. “The weather is too hot outside, so I couldn't take the kids
out to play. If they stayed in, they'll surely come to demand that I take sides should they end up fighting. I've no
interest in getting mixed up in all that, and that's why I thought that I might as well send you some lunch.”
“With that being the case, I suppose that I really should thank you for keeping me in your thoughts,” replied
Armand light- heartedly.
Genevieve fed him another piece of apple, then asked in confoundment, “What's going on with Sally? Didn't she say
she’d be my bodyguard? Why has she been replaced by two male bodyguards today?”
“When she went to the airport that day, was she...” Genevieve sprung up from Armand's embrace. “Expressly there
to see you?”
“Something came up unexpectedly for her, so she won't be able to serve as your bodyguard anymore,” Armand
stated.
“How did you know that? Did she inform you of this herself?” Genevieve's diminutive face grew solemn while she
regarded him in wariness. “Is there something going on between the two of you?”
“Stop being jealous,” Armand laughed. “You know that I only have eyes for you.”
Genevieve leaned over, pressed her ear against his chest, and listened to the man's stellar heartbeat.
Then, she tilted her head up to regard Armand. “Your heart belonged to Ethan, right? Sally and Ethan were
childhood sweethearts and were very much in love with each other. Do you really have no feelings whatsoever
toward her?”
Armand let out an exasperated sigh. “Human memories are stored in the head, not in the heart. You should really
watch less of those melodramatic soap operas going forward.”
“I'm just curious, that's all,” replied Genevieve, pursing her lips.
Armand took the small knife and apple out of her hands. “She's over at Cooper's place at the moment. He was the
one who told me that she can't make herself available right now.”
Briefly stunned, Genevieve then widened her eyes and gawked.
“I'm not sure what Sally wants to do, but... Mr. Sutton's a great guy.” Armand pulled out a napkin to help her clean
her fingers. “I really have to take my hat off to him.”
Genevieve did not know how to respond to that.
Desiring to hang around the office to watch Armand work and also to keep him company, Genevieve went on to ask
whether there was anything that he needed help with. It just so happened that Armand had received two mailed
letters from Lostaria which he needed to translate into Chanaean.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe mention of Lostaria reminded Genevieve of the text Cooper sent her earlier in the day.
At around ten, she phoned Jack, but no one picked up. She then followed up with a text message to ask him
whether he had any quarrels with the Carlo family in Lostaria.
Jack had yet to get back to her to date.
Genevieve received a call from Johanna at around four in the afternoon. “Hugh had just phoned to invite me for
dinner, Genev. He said that his company is in the works to kickstart a major project and wants to hire me as their
stylist. He hopes to be able to discuss that over the meal.”
Prior to getting promoted to the top job, Hugh Cabot used to be the deputy CEO at Beluga Media. Beluga Media was
also an investor in the film directed by Gustav that starred Armand while the latter was masquerading as Bruce.
“He called me just this morning himself and told me that he wants Jerry as the lead,” Genevieve said.
“In that case, come by and pick me up later. We can head over there together,” Johanna replied. “I'll take this job if
he offers me more of the money and less of the bollocks.”
“Sure thing.”
Presently, Genevieve had little enthusiasm for this sort of business appointment. However, the scale of the
production that Hugh pitched this time was big, which fitted Jerry, who had just signed a contract with Genevieve
Orsi Productions and needed more gigs as well as a greater degree of publicity.
No proper business owner would lament about having too much money to make.
