Chapter 997
As the car was nearing the government building, it suddenly dawned upon Genevieve that Armand was her
superior. If anyone sees me getting off his car, they'll surely spread rumors about it.
Thus, she had Armand stop the car by the roadside. “I can walk in myself.”
“Are you worried that the others will find out about our relationship?”
Genevieve tucked away the stray strands of hair by the side of her face and turned to look at him. “Look at me. I
look pretty, no matter what. And you're my superior, who's nine years older than me. The others won't think that a
man your age would want a woman like me. Instead, they'll believe that I'm using my beauty to bewitch you and
climb into your bed so that I can get a higher position at work.”
Her words made Armand burst into a peal of laughter. Despite so, he decelerated and stopped the car by the
roadside.
Genevieve unfastened her seatbelt, ready to get off the vehicle.
At the same time, Armand also unfastened his and leaned closer to her. “My gift, Genev.”

head hung low while gazing at her intently. That tender look in his eyes... and those thin lips... What a beautiful
sight.
An inexplicable urge to kiss Armand struck Genevieve so suddenly that she leaned forward and bit his lower lip.
Initially, the man thought she would only kiss his cheek. Since she had initiated a kiss on his lips, he decided there
was no need to go easy on her either. Cradling her face, he forcefully invaded her mouth with his tongue for a
passionate and intense kiss.
It had been too long since he last kissed Genevieve, and he was yearning for it so badly.
The brick red lipstick Genevieve applied had been smudged because of that steamy kiss.
Without a choice, she could only reapply her lipstick using the rearview mirror before getting off the car.
As a place whose duty was to serve the people, the government building was a simple establishment. A pantry or
complimentary afternoon tea was too much of a luxury for them, but at the very least, they still had a water
dispenser in the office.
While Genevieve was dispensing hot water to brew some tea, random thoughts began to flash in her mind.
Regardless, I'm an heiress from a prominent family. Why exactly do I have to work at a place like this? Could it be
that Coop expects me to build some connections here?
For some reason, Genevieve felt so worn out after working for a short while.
She felt like she could not muster any energy to do anything.
Verily, an editor returned to the office and began gossiping with her colleagues. “I just came from upstairs, and
guess what? I heard that Mr. Faulkner's assistant will be redeployed to Feston.”
“Ms. Briggs is going to be redeployed to Feston? Wouldn't the position of the assistant be left empty then?”
“Exactly,” the editor remarked. “Mr. Faulkner has asked her to transfer someone from our team to take over her
work.”
The female editors in the office perked up as soon as they heard that news.
Even though they had never paid close attention to entertainment-related news, they knew Armand was an
impressive figure who established Central Group at a young age.
He was still as capable now that he was in politics.
That was not all. This group of ladies was also aware of Armand's relationship with the Zane family. The reason he
transferred between departments was to earn enough political achievements so that he could take over Robert's
position in the time to come.

the future.
Joy was sparkling in the eyes of an editor as she commented, “I heard that Mr. Faulkner didn't remarry after his
divorce several years ago. He doesn't have plans for an arranged marriage with the Loake family either. He's been
staying single all this while.”
As the group seldom watched the news, coupled with the fact that Harry had thoroughly cleared every possible
trace related to Genevieve in the articles, barely anyone knew about Genevieve and Armand's marriage.
It was an indisputable fact that many had chosen to join a government institution for its career stability and good
welfare benefits, and those ladies were no exception. Now that there was such a good opportunity for career
advancement, they were all eager to get hold of it.
Those female editors continued in a heated discussion regarding who Armand would promote.
“We're seniors who've proven our capabilities after slogging our guts out in the Department of Public Information
for years. Every one of us seems to be qualified to get promoted, but I don't think Genevieve is.”
Meanwhile, Genevieve was so exhausted she could not wait for noon to approach so that she could find a place to
take a nap.
When she heard the group mention her name, she was rendered speechless.
I didn't even participate in the discussion. Neither do I look like I'm interested at all. Why get me involved?
