Flawless and Flirtatious (Genevieve and Armand)

Chapter 141

Meanwhile, Genevieve and Patrick rested at the VIP lounge for a while, and soon, the boarding timearrived. She kept herself busy by taking out the book she brought onto the plane and reading it whilelying on the chair. While reading, she memorized the words she did not understand to ask Armandlater. As she read her book, the plane flew continuously and reached Moranta around five hours later.When they booked their flight tickets from Moranta to Spaunia, the first-class tickets were already soldout. Hence, Genevieve settled with two economy-class tickets. Maybe it was because the flightduration was too long, but Genevieve lost her mood to read and fell asleep soon after making herselfcomfortable in the seat. As the economy-class seats were in rows, her head was tilted to one side andrested on Patrick’s shoulder, which was on her right. He felt a weight on his shoulder and turned to seeGenevieve sleeping. Carefully reaching out, he pulled down the window shades. When he retracted hishand, he spotted a few strands of hair sticking to Genevieve’s face. Patrick hesitated briefly beforeusing his finger to tuck those strands behind her ear. Her thick eyelashes looked similar to twohandheld fans and would flutter occasionally. Patrick’s eyes were fixed on her face for a long time.Later, he lifted his head to look at the plane’s ceiling, and his eyes darkened. When the flight arrived atSpaunia, it was already eleven at night. Genevieve had already informed Elijah Leigh’s assistant,Benjamin, ahead of time, so when they went out of the airport, they met up with him immediately.“Huh? Isn’t this Mr. Patrick Sullivan?” Upon seeing Patrick, Benjamin was surprised and asked, “Youcame too?” Baykeep’s subsidiary company’s manager, Elijah, was someone who got his position withArmand’s help. Therefore, he was very close to Armand. Benjamin had worked for Elijah for severalyears. He once met Patrick at one of the main company’s anniversary events and knew the latter asArmand’s bodyguard. However, Benjamin did not expect to see Patrick with Genevieve. “Why? Are youafraid Mr. Leigh will have to spend more money on my meal? Should I go?” Patrick lifted his eyebrows.Facing Benjamin, Genevieve smiled. “Perhaps you may not know this, but Patrick is good withcomputers. Mr. Faulkner has high expectations for this international collaboration, so he sent Patrick tocome with me.” “Oh.” Benjamin took over Genevieve’s luggage and said, “The car is waiting by theroad. Let’s go now, Ms. Rachford.” “I’ll be in your care.” She nodded. As it was rather late in theevening, they went to their rooms to sleep upon arriving at the hotel. The next morning, Genevieve metnovelbin

with Elijah and chatted briefly. After which, Benjamin gave her the details of the project this time. Onthe third day, she went with Elijah’s team to the promised meeting place to discuss the deal. It was acomplicated project, so both sides had been at odds with each other to obtain the maximum benefit.This situation went on for three days. Sometimes, she had to join Elijah and his team’s meeting afterreaching the hotel and having dinner. By the time she returned to her room, it was already dawn. Shefelt like she had transformed into a panda with the dark circles under her eyes and eye bags due to thisarduous schedule for the past few nights. Genevieve arrived at her hotel room, feeling lethargic. Aftertaking a shower and putting on an eye mask, she noticed her book on the bedside table. Ever sincearriving in Bera, Genevieve had not had the time to read the book. She opened her WhatsApp andnoticed her last chat with Armand was the night before the flight. Although she knew Armand’s attitude,which ignored everything else when busy with work, Genevieve felt disappointed. She hoped that hewould care more about her, like when they were at Regality Gardens, where he ate what she cookedand accompanied her. She stared at his chat for a while and hesitated. Just as she was about to senda text to him, a local number flashed on her screen. The caller was Maria, so Genevieve answered itquickly, “Hello, Maria.” Maria greeted back, “Hi, Ms. Rachford. Didn’t you say there’s a timezonedifference? Were you sleeping?”
