Chapter 994
“Let's date for a year. I'll play the role of your boyfriend in the meantime and will do whatever you want. I'll also
take care of you,” suggested Armand. “If you still haven't fallen for me in a year, I will stop badgering you and will
work in your company for the rest of my life.”
Genevieve had been working for some time now, and she had learned from her colleagues that Armand was
Robert's godson and, thus, his heir. It seemed that Armand was only there to learn the basics.
Getting the future leader to work for my company... That's not something I would even dare dream about!
Armand saw how quiet Genevieve had gotten, so he slowly lured her in. “You know, if I'm your boyfriend, I will cook
for you, and you can have delicious meals every day. Also, didn't you see how Cooper was when he declared his
love for another woman right in front of you? Don't you want to get a boyfriend and rub it in his face as well?”
Genevieve thought he made sense.
“You're a great chef, but you don't have anything else,” said Genevieve. She frowned and seemed troubled. “If I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwant to piss Coop off, all I have to do is hire a cute guy to play the part. You're so much older than I am that there's
a good chance Coop won't be affected at all. Worse still, his new girlfriend might diss me for getting someone so old
—”
Before Genevieve could even finish speaking, Armand leaned closer to her to cradle her face before pulling her in
to kiss her on her lips.
Genevieve was stunned, especially when she thought about how greasy her mouth was from the grilled meat she
had earlier.
Armand had drank some coffee, so a hint of the coffee's fragrance lingered in his mouth. His unique cologne was
nice as well, and Genevieve gradually lost herself in that kiss.
When that kiss ended, Armand backed away.
He traced her lips with his thumb. In a hoarse voice, he said, “I can do so much more than cook, and you will learn
how amazing I am, especially when we're in the bedroom.”
In the bedroom?
Shyness and awkwardness overwhelmed Genevieve when she heard those words. She blushed so much that even
her ears seemed to be burning red.
Irritated, she glared at the man without saying a word.
How is he so good at flirting? Is it because he has had plenty of practice? Has he done that to other women?
“Nope,” replied Armand. He could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her. Defeated, he explained, “I have
never been with another woman before, and I'm physically fit.”
Genevieve shot him a puzzled look. “But you were married before, right?”
Armand couldn't exactly tell her that he had never been with another woman before because she was the one he
married. Hence, he changed the subject by asking her if she was full. He grabbed her purse soon after, and the two
of them left together.
Armand paid for the meal and bought a yogurt drink after that. He twisted the cap open, then handed the bottle to
Genevieve.
“Here, have some. It'll help with your digestion.”
The owner of the place heard that when she handed Armand's credit card back to him. She smiled and
commented, “Aww, you are as sweet as usual, Mr. Faulkner, and are spoiling your wife again. I'm so envious.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIn the midst of drinking the yogurt, Genevieve paused when she heard those words.
When they got back into the car, Genevieve turned to Armand and frowned. “You used to take your ex to this place,
didn't you? Do I look a lot like her?”
After several strange exchanges with the restaurant's staff and owner, Genevieve slowly caught on to something.
“My gosh, you're not just old. You're also despicable!” complained Genevieve. She didn't know why, but she was
suddenly furious. “Are you courting me because you can't get your ex back? Do you simply see me as her
replacement?”
“No. If anything, she is a replacement for you,” replied Armand with his head lowered. He didn't start the engine.
“Huh?” said Genevieve. She couldn't quite get what was going on.
In a sorrowful tone, Armand replied, “We met a long time ago, but you dismissed me and regarded me as a
stranger. That is why, when I met someone who looked like you, I married her and pretended she was you.
Unfortunately, a replacement will always be the second choice. I couldn't love her, so we got a divorce. Back then, I
lied to myself and convinced myself she was you. That was why I went on dates with her and took her to nice
restaurants like these. It's also why the owner mistook you for her.”
For the longest time, Genevieve didn't know what to do with what he said. She never imagined that his ex was the
second choice.
