Genevieve nodded, beaming from ear to ear. “Sure! If I hit it off with someone, I'll give you a generous monetary gift.”

“Here, I'll give you the WhatsApp contact of the person in charge.”

After receiving the contact Charlotte sent over, Genevieve swiftly added it. Then, she put down her phone and continued enjoying the barbeque leisurely.

When they had almost finished eating, she went to the restroom with her bag in hand.

She rinsed her mouth with a small packet of mouthwash to dispel the spicy aftertaste before taking out a tube of lipstick and applying it while staring into the mirror. The moment she heard footsteps, she glanced at the door from the corner of her eye.

The restroom door was pushed open, and Armand's tall figure stepped in.

Retracting her gaze, Genevieve checked whether her lipstick was smeared from the mirror. “This is the women's restroom, Mr. Faulkner. You entered the wrong restroom.”

Armand walked over and stood beside her. “Don't go for a blind date.”

He heard the entirety of her conversation with Charlotte earlier. Her tone was exceedingly serious, making it clear that she really wanted to attend a blind date to seek out men, not only saying that for his benefit and upsetting him.


Admittedly, envy and panic inundated him at that instant.

Stuffing her lipstick into her bag, Genevieve turned around and eyed him in amusement. “If my memory serves, Mr. Faulkner, you personally told me that night to regard you as a stranger the next time I bump into you. I did exactly that. Conversely, why are you going back on your word?”

Armand gazed into her chilly eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing. “Specter Corporation's branch office in Mysonna won't be under investigation for too long. I've already sent someone over to settle it.”

“You're done talking, yes?” Genevieve didn't want to entertain him, brushing past him to head toward the door.

Grabbing her shoulder, Armand pinned her against the door and leaned over, capturing her lips without hesitation.

Verily, he craved her kiss to soothe the restlessness within him.

Genevieve found an opportunity and bit the man's lower lip hard. When he still didn't drop his hold on her when she tasted the coppery taste of blood, she lifted a leg to attack him.

Armand swiftly held her leg down and finally ended the kiss.

All the struggling earlier rendered Genevieve's hair a mess. Her freshly-applied lipstick was also smudged, and some blood stained the corner of her mouth.

Quite a bit of her lipstick had rubbed onto the corners of the man's mouth.

“There's no longer anything between the two of us, Armand. What do you take me for to kiss and bed me as you please?” Taking out a piece of tissue from her bag, Genevieve wiped off the lipstick and blood from her lips.

Armand swallowed the blood in his mouth and urged in a low voice, “Stop throwing a tantrum, Darling.”

“Who's throwing a tantrum at you?” Hurling the tissue that had been crumpled into a wad at his face, Genevieve enunciated, “I'm single, so it's none of your d*mn business even if I were to bring a man home for the night, much less attend a blind date!”

Armand's gaze darkened a shade, and he stared at her intently.
