Chapter 79 Beat Her At Her Own Game
“I gave him money. How could you say that I stole it?” Patrick defended himself.
“Don’t do such a thing again in the future.” Genevieve knew Patrick did that because of her, so she did
not feel angry. “Actually, I don’t really like violins that much.”
She continued to play the violin just because of the encouragement given by a man a few years ago.
“Only in the hands of Ms. Wood can this violin exert its greatest value.” Genevieve looked at the picture,
but her gaze was trained on Marilyn’s dress.
She recalled that she met a woman wearing this dress with a slightly bulging belly on a rainy day.
Genevieve put away those vague and messy memories. As she remembered an incident, she asked,
“Patrick, do you know Armand’s first love?”
Patrick murmured inwardly, “Yeah. She’s the one you are looking at.”
“Does Armand have a first love? I didn’t know.” On the surface, Patrick pretended as though he knew
nothing. “Where did you hear it from?”
“Someone gossiped about it in the office today, and I overheard it.” Genevieve then shook her hand and
said, “Forget it if you don’t know.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Oh.” Patrick glanced at her, and his eyes darkened.
Soon after he returned to the table of his department, another person came looking for Genevieve. She
pulled the chair beside Genevieve and sat down.
Glancing at the woman, she asked politely, “Queenie, what’s up?”
“Genevieve, I’d like to apologize to you again.” Queenie looked sincere as she apologized and gave a
glass of juice to Genevieve.
“I already accepted your apology in the morning in the company.” Genevieve did not take over the juice,
her gaze swiftly flashing across Queenie’s face.
Queenie shook her head and said, “I was referring to the day we met in the shopping mall. I even
scolded you…”
Genevieve recalled the incident and cast an astonished look at Queenie. “I remember now. So, you’re
apologizing to me because of that incident.”
“Yes. I knew I was very harsh back then. I hope I did not traumatize you,” explained Queenie. She
apologized guilty, “I sincerely apologize to you now. I hope that you can forgive me.”
With that, Queenie raised her head and downed the glass of juice Genevieve refused to accept.
Then she took off a pomegranate-shaped brooch pinned to her chest. “Genevieve, consider this brooch
my apology.”
“This is Bulgari’s garnet brooch.” Genevieve looked at the brooch, her eyes gleaming slightly. “This
brooch is quite expensive. You’re giving it to me just like that?”
“It’s not expensive at all. I have a few of them.” Queenie smiled and said sincerely, “I’m glad that you like
it. I know you are very capable. I hope that you can assist me more in the company when we work
together in the future.”
“Come. Let me help you pin it.” Queenie picked up the brooch and pinned it to Genevieve’s suit
personally. “It’s best to decorate your suit with this brooch.”
“Thank you.” Genevieve fondly touched the brooch and smiled. “Queenie, you’re so nice.”
“Enjoy yourself. I’m going over to my friend to chat.”
“Okay.”
With that, Queenie got up and left. Even though Genevieve looked as if she didn’t raise her head, she
fixed her stare on the former’s back. When she saw Queenie walking in a certain direction, her lips lifted
slightly.
She opened WhatsApp and sent a message to someone.
After sitting for a while, Genevieve felt somewhat bored. Hence, she took the initiative to pick up a glass
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof champagne and chatted with the newcomers from other departments.
While they were chatting happily, Genevieve noticed she had finished her champagne.
Just when she was about to go and get another glass of champagne, someone walking over bumped
into her and stained her suit red with wine.
“Genevieve, I’m sorry.” Queenie explained dejectedly, “I didn’t foresee that you were going to turn
around. Alas, your white shirt is stained red by wine.”
Looking at the wine on her body, Genevieve frowned and said in a frustrated tone, “I want to toast Mr.
Faulkner in a bit, and it’s not appropriate to go with dirty clothes. What should I do…”
Upon hearing that, Queenie instantly replied, “I went to the shopping mall this afternoon and bought
some clothes. Then, I came to the hotel. I left the clothes in the lounge room. We’re about the same size.
How about you wear my clothes?”
“How could I possibly accept this?” Genevieve shook her head. “Forget it. There isn’t a need for me to
toast… Burp!”
At that, she covered her mouth and belched. It was as though she was slightly drunk.
“No way. If it hadn’t been for me, your clothes wouldn’t have become dirty.” Queenie grabbed
Genevieve’s hand and immediately exited the banquet hall. “You must give me a chance to apologize.”
“Uh…” Dragged away by Queenie, Genevieve hesitated for a while and quickly answered, “Thanks,
then.”
