Chapter 988
Genevieve immediately questioned the propriety of her request once the words left her mouth. He's my boss. Why am I ordering him around so naturally? In fact, he's the boss of a government institution.
While she was lost in her thoughts, Armand had already instructed the driver to head to General Hospital. He even turned to look at her and asked, “Would you like to bring dinner for Cooper?”
“Sure,” Genevieve replied subconsciously. She was still confused about how she had so readily agreed to share a car with her boss.
While Armand made a call, she chanced a peek at him.
That man had been in her ward when she first woke up in the hospital twenty days ago. He introduced himself as Armand Faulkner and claimed to be Cooper's friend.
From his explanation, she learned that she had been kidnapped by Specter Corporation's nemesis. She later fainted from excessive shock, and Cooper now lay in the hospital recuperating from gunshot wounds he suffered while trying to save her.
Several days after she awoke, Genevieve received a call from a government institution checking in on her recuperation. The caller also instructed her to return to work once she was better.
Genevieve recalled how perplexed she was. I was always working at Specter Corporation. How did I end up transferring to a government institution?
On her first day at work at the government institution, Genevieve attended a meeting and learned that Armand was her boss. She rarely saw him after that meeting as her workload became heavier.
She did not think she would bump into him that day after work and even board his car.
Why wasn't I repulsed when he hooked his arm around my waist? He didn't even ask for my permission!
Armand seemed to sense her gaze and shot her a sidelong glance as he spoke on the phone.
Under the faint glow of the lights above the backseat, Armand's cold features appeared softer than usual. He stared tenderly at Genevieve with a smile in his eyes.
Genevieve's heart raced as she took in his expression.
She noticed his hair was a bit long and curled up near his ears. She found it adorable.
Genevieve hastily retracted her gaze and stared intently at her hands, which she had placed on her knees. She was gripping her right wrist tightly as though trying to prevent herself from doing something rash.
Thank goodness I had the foresight to trap my hand, or I would've mussed his hair.
With her head lowered, Genevieve soon grew lost in her thoughts. Meanwhile, the car had arrived in front of Golden Restaurant, and Armand alighted to pick up the dinner he ordered.
Ten minutes after he returned to the car, they pulled up to the underground parking lot of General Hospital.
Armand got out of the car with the packed dinner. Then, he circled to the other side of the car and opened the door for Genevieve like a true gentleman.
