Flawless and Flirtatious (Genevieve and Armand)

Chapter 102

Chapter 102 Care For His Wife Genevieve had followed her father to attend all kinds of events in the past and met with various career women. She had also seen capable women with influential family backgrounds when she went for overseas negotiations. However, she realized none of them compared to this woman before her. “Aunt Samantha.” Armand stood up and greeted that woman casually. Then, he walked to the other end of the dining table and pulled out a chair to help her get seated. “That’s enough. You don’t have to be so courteous next time,” she said while taking her seat. Her voice sounded a little hoarse instead of cold. To put it in other words, she had a husky voice. Harriet gazed at the woman affectionately. “You should get plenty of rest since you’re back, and you could have just asked Armand to deal with those matters.” Then, Harriet turned to Genevieve and introduced the woman. “Vivi, this is my youngest daughter, Samantha Harriet. She’s been occupied with work overseas and had only recently returned to the country.”

In fact, Genevieve had already identified the woman prior to Harriet’s introduction by the way Armand had addressed her. “It’s nice to meet you, Aunt Samantha.” Genevieve stood up as well and picked up the coffeepot. She poured Samantha a cup of hot coffee from across the table. “My name is Genevieve Rachford.” Samantha looked up and glanced at Genevieve. “Oh. You are much prettier in person than in pictures. Take a seat. You don’t have to be so formal since we’re having a meal together as a family.” “Okay.” Genevieve sat down obediently. She was under the assumption that Armand’s aloof personality and domineering presence were unique only to him. At that moment, she came to a realization that everyone in the Faulkner family shared those characteristics. Samantha seemed to have a relatively well first impression of Genevieve. She would occasionally chat

with the latter throughout the meal. After she was informed of Genevieve’s current occupation as an employee in the translation department of Central Group, Samantha said, “I’ve read some news about you on Twitter previously, so I know that you studied in a prestigious school. If you feel bored staying in Central Group, you can always request to join my company.” “Thank you for the offer, Aunt Samantha, but…” Genevieve glanced at Armand and slightly pursed her pink lips. “The main reason I’m staying in Central Group is that I get to meet with Mando every day, aside from working.” “Fair point.” Samantha smiled. She lifted her cup and took a sip of the coffee. Genevieve unintentionally looked up and saw the lights from the chandelier atop reflecting off Samantha’s face. The flickering of the lights brought focus to the mole at the corner of Samantha’s eye, giving her an icy and captivating exterior. Genevieve would not have thought Samantha was already over forty years old. Judging by Samantha’s face, Genevieve figured she looked just over thirty years old. Perhaps it was because the coffee did not taste good, Genevieve noticed Samantha slightly raised her brows. That subtle gesture prompted a blurry figure to resurface in Genevieve’s mind due to the similarity. Her pupils constricted instantaneously as she accidentally dropped her fork on the tabletop. Armand turned his head sideways to gaze at her. “What’s the matter?” “Oh, it’s nothing.” Genevieve picked up her fork and regained her composure. “I think a mosquito bit the back of my hand just now.” Armand remained silent. The temperature inside the house is cool, and we even sprayed some unique mosquito repellant, so how can there be a mosquito inside the house? Marilyn had already lost her appetite because Harriet was fond of Genevieve. At that instant, as she took in the attentive way Armand cared for Genevieve, jealousy surged within Marilyn. “Genevieve, I heard that you stumbled into your ex-husband, Cooper, at the hotel while attending Central

Group’s orientation a few days ago, and he nearly took advantage of you.” Marilyn paused briefly before asking concernedly, “Are you all right?” “Marilyn, why did you bring that up?” Harriet said in displeasure. Marilyn pursed her lips. “That incident spread like wildfire on the internet. Everyone saw the news, and so did I. I’m asking Genevieve in person since she’s here today.” “Thank you for your concern, Marilyn.” Genevieve took a piece of fish and placed it on her plate. She carefully removed the fish bones while chirping, “Mando was at the hotel too that night, so I wasn’t hurt. He even helped me teach Cooper a lesson, alleviating the grievances I felt.” “I heard about that incident as well.” Samantha’s eyes gleamed. She smirked. “I thought Armand was a distant and passionless man. Surprisingly, he cares deeply for his wife.”ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
