Embarrassed to turn him down further, she handed her luggage to the driver. “Thank you.”
“Don't mention it.”
When the bodyguard opened the car door, Herbert and Genevieve climbed into the car, one after another.
After Genevieve had gotten into the car, she received a call from her housekeeper in Dartan. She moved closer to the car door and spoke to the housekeeper in Granatanolan.
Herbert remained silent without interrupting her.
Only after she had hung up the phone did he query, “Judging from your exceptional aura and the fact that you know Granatanolan, you're an interpreter?”
“Yeah. I studied in Dartan but returned to my country after graduating. I was only an interpreter for a few months. Right now, I'm a small-time business owner.” Genevieve put her phone into her bag.
“You're pretty incredible, then,” Herbert lauded.
It was as though something occurred to him, for a faint smile showed on his face. “My wife was also an interpreter when she was young. That aside, she was a prodigy at crossing swords with others.”
His wife was the kind of woman who looked exceedingly gentle, appearing meek and biddable.
However, she was also the one who spoke like a bullet train during important meetings attended by tens of thousands of people and global leaders, every word hitting right where it hurt and rendering them dumbfounded.
It was so bad that horrified expressions showed on those bigwigs' faces whenever they spotted her speaking.
As Genevieve listened to him speak of his wife's anecdotes, she couldn't help bursting into giggles. “Are you afraid, then? With her speaking so many languages, you wouldn't know if she were to curse you out when the two of you have a row one day.”
“I'm not afraid. In my eyes, she's an incredibly gentle woman. Furthermore, I never had a row with her ever since we got married,” Herbert crowed.
Even if there were minor conflicts between them, whenever he went to the army base, it would be for a few months.
By the time he returned, they would have both forgotten why they had previously fought.
“I can tell that you love your wife very much.” Only when a person spoke of someone he loved would his face and eyes reflect overwhelming tenderness and smile.
Herbert nodded. “Yeah, I love her very much... But she has left me.”
He heaved a sigh.
