Genevieve stood next to a pillar outside the entrance, seemingly staring at something.
“Ms. Rachford.”
As soon as Steven spotted her, he slung his bag on his arm and went over to hand her an umbrella.
Genevieve appeared to jolt back to her senses.
She turned and looked at the man. Her face was pale, and she didn't look quite well. “Can you please wait at the side for a while, Steven? I've got something to say to Mando.”
Not only did she decline to take the umbrella, but she even handed him the car key.
Steven sensed something amiss with her, but he didn't ask any questions. He merely walked to the side silently and turned his back to them.
Genevieve turned around and looked at the tall and handsome man before her. Pursing her lips, she asked softly, “Mando, was it out of love that you did so much for me?”
If it isn't love, why would he even give up his company and risk his life to save me? But if he does love me, what's the meaning of everything he's doing right now?
Pinning his eyes on her, Armand was silent for a long moment. After that, he murmured evenly, “Why do you think I'll desire a woman who has been married several times and have children?”
When I had nothing, I even tossed my dignity away and begged her, hoping she'd stay by my side. But she chose Jack. She once told me that the ring was lost, but when I went to the prison to visit Marilyn that day, I obtained the ring from her. That aside, Marilyn told me she gave it to her voluntarily in exchange for Night Breeze.
Stupefied, Genevieve regarded him blankly. “Then, why were you so good to me?”
Armand's gaze was unfathomable and impassive. “To fulfill my part of the deal. I promised to help you take Specter Corporation back, but you reconciled with Cooper later. Thus, I've got to make it up to you in some other way.”
“Ah, that's true. To fulfill your part of the deal...”
As Genevieve thought of the work she had done recently, she reckoned that she must have been a woman who came begging at his feet, a mere clown in the man's eyes.
When Jack proposed this bet, I even swore that Armand's love for me won't fade in time and I'll definitely win.
Why is it all so sudden?
