Flawless and Flirtatious (Genevieve and Armand)

Chapter 185

The next morning, Genevieve changed into a gray formal attire. As she wore a short skirt with a pair of stockings, it was difficult for her to bend down. In the corridor, she wanted to put on her heels. Hence, she pointed at the black satin high heels and looked at Armand with an innocent look. The two made eye contact for two seconds. At last, the man helplessly squatted and picked up a high heel. After Genevieve raised her petite foot, he grabbed it and helped her put the heel on. She lowered her head and looked at the crown of his head as the corner of her lips quirked up. After the man helped her with her high heels, she leaned forward to kiss him, typing: Thank you, Sir! Xoxo! “I’ll be going on a business trip to Baykeep for a few days.” Armand glanced at her phone and stepped into the elevator first. “Do you need Steven to stay behind?” Genevieve shook her head, replying: You’ve promised that Marilyn will not cause me trouble again. Thus, you should bring Steven, as he is also your secretary. She couldn’t help but ask: Why are you going on a business trip? Is there a dinner meeting or a party?

“Mm, probably.” At his reply, the woman’s face fell as she tapped on her phone screen with force. She wrote: Work hard! Additionally, try to refrain from drinking too much alcohol when having a meal! If I realize something extra on your body when you return, you will be a dead man! Armand believed that if the phone had a physical keyboard, she would have broken the keys with her feisty temperament. He couldn’t help but chuckle softly as he reached out to rub her chin. Sadly, in the next second, she slapped away his hand rudely. Genevieve had gone on a business trip to Bera and stayed at Springwyn for some time. Consequently, she hadn’t gone to the office for about half a month. When her colleagues from the same department saw her, they greeted her, “Genevieve, you’re finally back from your business trip!”

Genevieve smiled and took some desserts and coffee, placing them on the desk. She gestured for her colleagues to take them, then typed on her phone: My vocal cords are hurt. Thus, for the time being, I can’t speak. After everyone knew about her condition and that she still came to work right after going on a business trip, they looked at her with sympathy. Genevieve noticed that Jenny was in her office, so she took a cup of coffee and went to find the latter. Upon learning that Genevieve’s vocal cords were hurt, Jenny wanted to grant the former a few days of break. However, Genevieve refused the kind offer. As such, Jenny allocated some tasks to her. Genevieve walked to her workspace after coming out of Jenny’s office. As soon as she reached her desk, a female colleague, who sat beside her, slid her chair toward Genevieve. “Genevieve, it looks like you’re in a good mood after your business trip.” The woman nudged Genevieve, asking curiously, “Have you settled the problem between your husband and his ex-girlfriend? Have you guys reconciled?” In fact, Genevieve didn’t have the ability to take care of Marilyn. However, it was true that she and Armand had made up. With that thought, Genevieve nodded. “Wow, that’s great! You’re such a courageous person.” Her colleague bit into her bread. “But, you still have to pay more attention.” Out of curiosity, Genevieve raised a brow and typed: Pay attention to what? “That aspect, of course.” Genevieve’s colleague glimpsed at her. “You’ve just entered Central Group and are still on your probation period. If you get pregnant before becoming an official employee, you might have to leave the company to continue your pregnancy.” Genevieve’s face flushed after she understood what her colleague meant. Previously, when she and Armand were in Swallow Garden, they had slept in separate rooms. Therefore, they had never thought about having any sexual precautions after the activity. After she moved into Regality Gardens, though, the two had become much closer. As for the days spent in Springwyn, they had some passionate nights too.

However, Armand was the one who did the work every time, so Genevieve didn’t pay much attention to it. “Hey, why are you not speaking?” The woman pushed Genevieve, advising sincerely, “Genevieve, you’re still young. You’d best not be lovestruck. Even if your husband is a capable man, it will always be better if you can support yourself financially. Ms. Griffin seems to value you, and you can excel in your work. At this age, you should plan your career path. Central Group is an established company. I’m sure you know how difficult it is to get a position here. If you can be an assistant manager, it will be much better than being a cautious housewife who’s always worried that they will offend their partner.” Silently, Genevieve listened to her colleague as she opened her medicine and drank it. If I tell them Armand is my husband, I’m sure everyone in the department will be furious.
