Without looking up, Johanna replied, “I'm not free. Go ahead without me, Ms. Rachford.”
Genevieve had an ominous feeling when she heard the woman's tone.
As such, she reached out and tugged on Johanna's arm before saying softly, “Is work really more important than me? Is our friendship worth less than your few hours of pay? We hadn't seen each other for four years! I missed you so much. Didn't you miss me too?”
Johanna looked up and glared at Genevieve before replying, “And you have the nerves to say that? Back then, you left after sending me a note and ended up being away for four years. Genevieve, don't you think that's too much?”
“Yes, it was my fault! Please forgive me just this once?” Genevieve pleaded. “Let me treat you to something good, okay?”
Initially, Johanna had intended to ignore Genevieve as she was indeed outraged. However, it wasn't convenient for them to talk about personal affairs in the secretarial department as the other employees might return at any time.
After letting out a snort, Johanna grabbed her bag and left with her friend.
As it was only around ten in the morning and not lunchtime yet, Genevieve took Johanna to a cafe in a nearby shopping mall and ordered two cups of coffee.
In an attempt to appease her friend, Genevieve told Johanna that she had only kept all those things from her because she did not want to implicate her.
Back then, Genevieve had already made all the arrangements and had boarded the plane. However, Jack saw through her plan and stopped her.
After that, she was brought to Dartan and forced to stay with Jack.
Johanna was downright confused after listening to Genevieve's explanation and asked in a clueless manner, “I don't understand what you're saying at all. If you don't want to be with Jack, why did you marry him?”
“Because...”
Genevieve ended up telling Johanna the entire truth.
Johanna stared at Genevieve with her eyes widened after listening to the woman's clarification. Seeing that, Genevieve let out a chuckle and said, “I've kept this bottled up for a long time. I feel much better now after sharing it with you.”
“Why didn't you tell Mr. Faulkner about this?” Johanna asked.
Just then, two cups of hot coffee were served to them.
