Flawless and Flirtatious (Genevieve and Armand)

“Since I have been absent for the past few days, I bet there is plenty of work awaiting me in the office

now.” After standing up from her chair, Genevieve added, “Mando, I’ll wait for you in the underground

parking lot as soon as I get off work.” Armand decided not to object to her decision upon witnessing her

determination to return to work. “I’ve asked Steven to investigate Queenie’s issue. My men have also

announced to the public that you met with Cooper at the hotel and that he was scheming against you.”

Genevieve smiled at his words. “Good. I was worried that I would be entangled in the incident related to

Queenie and couldn’t return to work as a result of that. Thank you, Mando, for dealing with this matter

so perfectly.” She then walked around the dining table, got to Armand’s side, and kissed his cheek as a

reward. Armand was surprised by it. Soon, the news about the head of Specter Corporation trying to

assault his ex-wife could be seen almost everywhere on the internet. When Genevieve, one of the

parties involved in the assault, arrived at Central Group, all the employees, including those she

bumped into when she used the elevator and the female janitors, would ask her about the news. As

soon as Genevieve stepped into her department, her colleagues immediately approached and

surrounded her. They scolded Cooper for being a bastard as they comforted her sympathetically.

Despite what they showed, Genevieve knew that most of them were taking pleasure in her misfortune.

And, of course, she didn’t let this opportunity go to waste. She activated her Oscar standard acting

skills and piteously told everyone what had happened that night with her reddened eyes. This was so

they would have the information they needed to gossip. In just a morning, Genevieve gave many of her

colleagues a good impression. Some even took the initiative to teach her to do things and included her

in their gossip groups. Genevieve was so impressed with their pleasant behavior to the point she

wanted to thank Cooper. In the afternoon, she even went to a restaurant with a few female colleagues

for lunch. Soon, the topic of their conversation shifted to Armand as they chatted. “Remember when I

told you guys that Mr. Faulkner is married, but none of you believed me then? Well, see for yourself.

Mr. Faulkner is wearing a wedding ring.” “But who is the person he married to? Why didn’t the public

get any news about this?” one of the colleagues asked curiously. She even made an assumption. “Did

he get back with his first love?” “Oh, I heard Mr. Faulkner’s first love is Mr. Samuel’s wife.” “Are you

sure?” Stunned, the female colleagues drew a sharp breath after hearing such breaking news. The

colleague who gave the gossip then shook her hand. “Actually, I heard that from someone. But, wealthy

families are always a mess. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true.” Upon knowing one of the colleagues

managed to take a photo of Armand with his wedding ring, the others requested to have a look at it.

“Huh?” After taking a look at the photo, one of the ladies shifted her attention to the ring on

Genevieve’s finger. “Genevieve, Mr. Faulkner’s wedding ring is the same type as yours.” “Is it?”

Genevieve replied curiously and leaned forward to take a closer look at the photo. A few seconds later,

she returned to her seat and said with a smile, “What a coincidence. It never occurred to me that I

would purchase a ring similar to Mr. Faulkner’s. It seems that this particular type is popular. Maybe

that’s why Amazon sells it as well.” She then added, “Anyway, please don’t overthink it. If I were Mrs.

Faulkner, I’d stay home and let others serve me. I wouldn’t bother to tire myself with work.” The

colleagues agreed that she had a point after hearing her explanation. The ladies shared the same

thought at that moment. Exactly. There must be news about it if Genevieve is Mrs. Faulkner. Plus, no

rich wives would give up enjoying pampering themselves, working in their husbands’ company, and

desperately hiding the news of their marriage. Even though Genevieve is gorgeous, Mr. Faulkner would

be disinterested in her deadbeat family background. Hence, there is no way Mr. Faulkner would have

eyes for someone like her. Genevieve heaved a sigh of relief upon noticing that her words had

dismissed their doubts entirely. She then cleverly shifted the topic of their conversation. “Ladies, I have

a question for you all.” She rested her chin on her hand and slowly continued, “My husband has a

female friend, and I feel they are too close. He even keeps a photo of her in his wallet. Do you think this

is normal and that I’m worrying too much?” “You’re right to be worried about it. Something is wrong with

your husband.” One of the colleagues frowned and continued, “Your husband is rather oblivious.” “I

agree. He’s married. Why would he keep a female friend’s photo?” one of them chimed in. She even

asked, “Does the woman frequently text your husband? If yes, you’d need to be more careful. Let me

teach you some stuff.” Among the female colleagues, two were married and had kids, so they knew the

nook and cranny of marriage very well. Upon realizing that Genevieve was having a crisis in her

marriage, they transformed themselves into mentors and patiently gave her lessons about marriage. At

that point, Genevieve had successfully shifted all the female colleagues’ attention from whether

Armand was married to her marriage condition.
