Chapter 1027
A few seconds later, she received a voice message. The man's voice sounded nasal and deeper than usual as he
uttered, “I'll reach Jadeborough tomorrow afternoon. Are you coming to pick me up?”
Genevieve did not want to go since Armand was not the only government official returning.
Since he can send me a voice message, that should mean that there is no one around. She called him and asked,
“Your voice sounds nasal. Did you catch a cold?”
“Yeah. The air conditioning in the meeting room yesterday was way too cold.” Armand coughed a few times after
speaking.
“Have you taken any medication?”
“I have, but it's not taking effect yet.” Changing the topic back to her, he asked, “What did you have for lunch?”
Genevieve said that Melissa had someone send over some food and the grilled pork he had made.
She had eaten most of the food he had made in the refrigerator.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA knock on the door soon sounded from Armand's side, prompting them to end their call.
As soon as Genevieve got off work, Cooper came to pick her up so that they could dine at a Ferropenian restaurant
for dinner. Their signature steak was decent.
It was already eight in the evening by the time they went back.
Genevieve grabbed her pajamas and went into the bathroom to take a shower. Perhaps the air conditioning was too
cold in her bedroom, for she shuddered immediately after coming out of the bathroom. She recalled Armand's
nasal voice and wondered whether he had gotten better.
Right as Genevieve was about to send him a message, an idea popped into her head. Why don't I just go see him
and see for myself whether he's fine?
Unable to abandon such a thought, she swiftly applied her makeup and entered the walk-in closet.
On the way to the airport, Genevieve started to consider her actions. He's my boyfriend, so it's only natural for me
to go look after him. I just have to take the earliest flight tomorrow morning to come back to work.
Even though Armand did not take Genevieve with him on the business trip, Genevieve was in charge of his itinerary.
She knew where the meeting was being held and which hotel the people attending the meeting were staying at.
Upon arriving at the hotel where Armand was staying and presenting the relevant documents, Genevieve got the
hotel room number from the front desk.
She watched as the elevator rose, wondering how Armand would react when he saw her. When the elevator doors
opened, she stepped out.
Upon lifting her head, she stopped in her tracks.
The standard room Armand was staying in was in the same corridor as the elevator. It was about twenty meters
away from the elevator.
Genevieve saw Eurydice standing in front of Armand's door. Her mouth was moving, so she was likely speaking to
the person inside. After a few exchanges, she walked into the room.
For some reason, Genevieve found herself back in the elevator and on the first floor. She sat in the lounge for a
long time.
That b*stard said that he had nothing to do with Eurydice and insisted there was a clear line between them. Yet, I
found her visiting his room at such a time at night, and he even let her in! Did he lie to me? Good thing I only ate his
food. I was forced to kiss him a couple of times, but I didn't really lose anything. Otherwise... Wait, I can't just leave
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmlike this. It's too humiliating.
She rolled up her sleeves and planned to teach the man a lesson.
As she exited the lounge, a few people coincidentally came in through the revolving door while chatting.
The people who came in seemed to be staying at the hotel. At the sight of Genevieve, a middle-aged man,
surrounded by a few other people, strode over.
He looked at Genevieve in puzzlement and asked in a gentle tone, “Genev, what are you doing here alone?”
Genevieve was stunned. She was sure she did not know the man.
Before Genevieve could respond, the man continued, “Armand is in Baykeep for a meeting too and is staying in this
hotel. You're here to look for him, aren't you? Do you not know his room number?”
Right then, the manager came over, and Felix asked the manager for Armand's room number.
“There's no need for that.” Genevieve quickly stopped him. “He has a visitor...”
Felix had been through a lot in his line of work, so he immediately assumed that the visitor in Armand's room was
not there for work purposes when he heard Genevieve's tone of voice.
His face darkened, and he immediately gave Armand a call.
“Uncle Felix, what's the matter?” Armand answered his phone rather quickly.
“Who are you calling your uncle? I am not your uncle!” Felix said coldly. “I'm in the lobby of the hotel you're staying
at. Get down here this instant!”
