Genevieve playfully teased Armand over the phone.
Darling's enchanting voice left Armand completely captivated, forgetting all about his intentions to make a request of her. He even shared with her his strategies for dealing with Joshua's wife.
Genevieve felt as if a whole new world had opened up before her, and she exclaimed, “Luc, if you don't end up with a high-ranking provincial or ministerial position, you'd really be letting me down as your mother.”
She hung up the phone in a great mood and saw that Sally hadn't left yet, staring at her intently.
“Sally, what are you looking at?”
Sally finally looked away and gave a faint smile. “I never would have guessed that someone as serious as Mr. Faulkner could be charmed by you. It's true, there's always something to tame something else.”
Genevieve said, “He only acts serious around others, but in private, he's quite a beast. I even wonder if he has some sort of split personality.”
As Genevieve removed the boxing wraps from her wrists, she glanced up at Sally and said, “Besides, acting cute with your own man can be a kind of fun. Don't you ever act cute with my Cooper?”
“Probably not.” Sally's personality is rather indifferent; she doesn't have any particular likes or dislikes, nor does she have any strong feelings toward people or things.
But she can read between the lines.
For example, she could tell at a glance whether Cooper was angry or not. If he was mildly upset, she would let him work through it on his own; but if he was really angry, she would go and comfort him.
However, no one can coax people like Genevieve does, with such enthusiasm.
Genevieve looked at Sally, puzzled, and asked, “How do you usually chat with Cooper then? You don't use his full name as a nickname, do you?”
Sally said, “Just in case, I always use full names when adding notes to my contacts.”
Sally is indeed very cautious, but Genevieve says, “Your phone has a location tracker and anti-eavesdropping features, so ordinary people who find it won't be able to unlock it. Besides, given your meticulous personality, you probably won't lose your phone once in eight hundred years. Why don't you let me change Cooper's contact name for you? It'll help you two bond better.”
Because Sally has a cold personality, Genevieve hopes she doesn't overthink things and instead truly experiences what it feels like to love someone and be loved by someone.
Emotions involve the efforts of both parties. If one person constantly gives without receiving a response, the relationship won't last long.
