Flawless and Flirtatious (Genevieve and Armand)

Chapter 40

Genevieve thought Erica had contacted her with another phone number, so the former immediately answered it. “Hello?”

“Is this Ms. Genevieve?” the person on the other end of the line asked politely.

After hearing that the person was not Erica, Genevieve felt her heart sink. “Yes. I am. Is something the matter?”

“I am from Central Group‘s HR department,” the person said politely. “We‘re quite interested in your resume. Do you have the time to come over for an interview on Thursday, nine o‘clock in the morning?”

Just then, Genevieve remembered she had sent her resume to Steven. She had no idea she would receive a call so soon.

“I‘m free on that day. Do I need to bring any materials with me?” After returning from finishing her studies in Dartan, she had never worked before. Apart from heading overseas occasionally to help Cooper, she had no working experience. Therefore, she had never attended an interview at other companies.

After jotting down the materials she needed to bring for the interview, she continued chatting with the man for a while. When she hung up the call, the car had just reached home.

After returning home, she took off her jacket and hung it on the clothes rack. While doing so, she realized that there was another thin black coat on the rack. When she got near, she could smell a faint scent that seemed like perfume.

“Maria.” After hanging up her jacket, she asked, “Is Mando back yet?”

Maria nodded. “Mr. Faulkner returned two hours ago and immediately entered the study room with Steven. I went to send them some coffee just now. They seem to be busy with work.”

Genevieve turned back to eye the jacket on the clothes rack, deciding not to bother about the perfume. After all, the man she met in the dessert shop did not wear that jacket. It seems like the man really wasn‘t Armand.

As she knew Armand was working upstairs, Genevieve did not bother him and teamed up with Patrick

Right after the housekeeper finished placing the plates on the table, Armand and Steven headed downstairs.

Armand wore a white shirt and a pair of trousers, accentuating his handsome figure. The sleeves on his shirt were folded up, revealing the muscles on his arms,

Perhaps he had been working for too long, for there was a hint of exhaustion in his eyes. However, that did not change the usual indifferent expression on his face.

Genevieve could not help but feel worried when she thought of how he had to continue working despite his injury. “Mando, how is your injury?”

“It‘s just a tiny injury on my back.” Armand pulled out the chair in front of her, seemingly annoyed. “You should go on with your own life. You don‘t need to put your focus on me constantly.”

Genevieve wanted to thank him at first, but she gripped her fork when she heard the reproach that

followed next Does he think I‘m too annoying? Well, both of us are only in a fake marriage. It‘s not like we‘re a real couple. Besides, he gave me everything that I have now. I don‘t have the right to care about

him

“I‘m sorry.” She lowered her head and continued eating, not saying anything else.

Armand seemed to notice the change in Genevieve‘s mood. Furrowing his eyebrows, he lifted his eyes to glance at her.

However, due to his quiet and aloof nature, he didn‘t bother to explain.

Patrick glanced at Armand and then at Genevieve, noticing the shift in the atmosphere at the dining table. Therefore, he stopped his usual chattering and ate in silence.

The group of people finished eating dinner silently.

As Armand still had some work to do, he quickly went upstairs. Meanwhile, Patrick continued to play games with Genevieve.

“Don‘t mind what Armand said just now during dinner,” Patrick whispered to Genevieve. “He‘s quite cold and likes to keep things to himself. I think that he‘s even more secretive than my brother! Besides, he couldn‘t even care less when a gunshot almost hit his heart last time, much less a minor injury like this.”

Upon hearing that, Genevieve‘s bad mood was soon replaced with shock. “When did this happen? Did his brothers... do it?”

When she scrolled through the news regarding the Faulkner family, she discovered that the inheritance was given out according to their ages.

However, the Faulkner family‘s core businesses were handed over to Armand. That caused the other children to only obtain some stocks and small companies, thus angering them as they could not get much money.

Therefore, when Armand moved the business to Jadeborough and expanded it, they were blinded with jealousy when they saw how much money he earned. That further escalated their fury as they tried to make a move on Armand to get all of his assets.

Patrick almost nodded but quickly stopped himself. “Mrs. Faulkner, it‘s safer for you to not know some things.”

After seeing that he was unwilling to tell, Genevieve did not force him.

The duo continued to play games in the living room until past ten at night. Finally, Genevieve called it quits as her eyes were sore. She then returned to her bedroom upstairs. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

After she came out of the shower, she spotted the shopping bag on the couch.

She soon remembered it was the few suits she picked out for Armand when she went shopping with Patrick that day.

Worried about Armand‘s injury last night, she had forgotten all about the suits. Thankfully, I asked someone to send the suits back to the mansion beforehand. Otherwise, I‘m going to lose several hundred thousand after the car exploded.

Taking a look at the time, Genevieve figured Armand would be resting at this time. After pondering for a moment, she towel–dried her hair quickly and went out while carrying the few shopping bags.

When she walked to Armand‘s room, she was going to knock on his door when her vision went black, causing her a big deal of shock.
