Chapter 139 Does It Matter To You
Genevieve took a few pictures of herself and sent them to Armand. After noticing that he had not responded, she thought he might have been busy with work.
Taking the earrings off, she headed into the bathroom for a bath. After she dried her hair, she picked her phone up from the nightstand.
Armand texted her: How many books have you read?
She jumped onto her bed and sat down comfortably. She replied: I’ve just finished a book, and I memorized a ton of details.
She wanted to tell him that he could test her when he returned. However, he was one step ahead and responded to her text. He texted: Remember to finish up the second book when you’re on your business trip.
She would have hit him on the head if he was standing in front of her then.
She used to be an interpreter back then and knew how tiring the job was.
Genevieve: I won’t have time to read on a business trip.
Armand: You can always pull an all-nighter.
She read his texts and glanced at the earrings on the bedside table. Then, she set her alarm clock before going to bed.
The next morning, Genevieve and Patrick took a cab to the airport after packing.
When they were on the highway, he noticed a Bentley following them. It would occasionally speed up and also tailgate them. Hence, he found the situation rather odd.
He remained silent as he reached out for a cold item from his bag and placed it around his waist.
Shortly afterward, they arrived at the airport.
Genevieve got out of the car and inadvertently glanced at the Bentley that stopped in front of them. It was then she noticed a slender figure.
The man was tall and had a refined appearance. Nevertheless, there was a glimpse of tiredness in his eyes.
He had his eyes fixed on Genevieve as he strode toward her.
Patrick collected their bags and immediately stood in front of Genevieve to protect her from the man.
Then and there, Cooper was staring Genevieve straight in the eye.
“Are you going on a business trip?” he asked, his voice sounding hoarse.
“Does it matter to you?” replied Genevieve, expressionless.
She hated this man to the core. Nevertheless, it was an undeniable fact that he was not a useless man. When he was detained, he still managed to get his job done. Previously, he even managed to collaborate his business with an international company, raising Specter Corporation’s stock prices.
He did not realize the cold reaction from her was enough to make him suffocate until now.
“We can talk when you return.” He removed his sunglasses and fixed his eyes on her.
He noticed how pale her skin looked in the green dress.
Perhaps she put on the emerald earrings just to match the dress. Regardless, she was radiating an innocent aura that made her look perfect.
He knew that she would fall in love with the dress the moment he laid eyes on it.
It was only when he bought the dress did he realize he remembered many things about her.
He recalled that she loved the color green and that she hated carrots and some other vegetables.
Back then, she would pick carrots out of her food and hand them to him.
His mother would ask her why she did that when she could have left the carrots on her own plate.
As a response, Genevieve would say that she hated seeing carrots on the plate.
Then, she would smile and look at him as she said, “Cooper, you’ll finish them up for me, right?”
Nevertheless, he had lost her in the end.
