My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Sally was a cold and aloof person with no empathy for others. Hence, after Cooper's voice trailed off, she merely left the room impassively.

“Aren't you going to cook? I'm hungry.”

He shifted his gaze away from the photo and followed her out of the bedroom. Just then, Genevieve called him on his phone. “Coop, is Sally making things difficult for you?”

He glanced at Sally's retreating figure and slowed his pace. “Nope.”

On the other end of the line, Genevieve sighed in relief. “That's good, then. Are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together.”

“You guys go ahead. I have some work to do.” With Sally staying at his, he was worried she would call him as soon as he went out and order him to return.

I just need to bear with it for now.

Just as he hung up after chatting with Genevieve for a little longer, the doorbell rang. He went to open the door and saw that it was the delivery person from Golden Restaurant.

When placing his order, Cooper had requested for the restaurant to send the food over on plates so that it looked as though the dishes were homecooked.

He opened the bag and tore the tinfoil cover off the plate, revealing the steaming hot pork ribs that looked as though they were fresh out of the pot. Placing a fork next to Sally's hand, he said, “Just pretend that I made these.”

She lifted her gaze and looked at him with dissatisfaction. Nonetheless, she remained silent and picked up the fork.

Over at Genevieve Orsi Productions, James heard the rumors about Jerry and Genevieve, then went to talk to Coolplay Entertainment's boss about the termination of Jerry's contract. Although they had blacklisted Jerry, they knew about Specter Corporation's relationship with Genevieve and that she would have deep pockets. Hence, they wanted to pressure Jerry into coughing up a large sum of money, citing that it was because his contract had not yet ended. Genevieve also contacted Charlotte in private, which led to the latter spreading the word among her circle of friends that those who aided Jerry would mean going against her.

When the boss of Coolplay Entertainment saw that, he did not want Jerry to stay blacklisted while under the company until his contract ended. He also wanted to make a profit, so he took the initiative to get in touch with James.

After terminating his contract with Coolplay Entertainment in the morning, Jerry went to Genevieve Orsi a little after three o'clock in the afternoon to sign a new contract.

Genevieve asked her secretary to put away the contract safely, then said to Jerry, “I'll send you the list of managers later. You can pick who you want. There's also an excellent assistant named Joash, who we've assigned to you.”

Armand had an assistant named Joash when he was going under the alias of Bruce.

She thought Joash was a nice guy, so she signed him on to Genevieve Orsi.

“Okay,” Jerry replied, having no objections to her arrangements. “By the way, are you very close with Harry Hompton?”

“I know him well enough, I suppose.”

She had only met Harry several times. However, she found him gentle, adorable, and adept at comforting others. Hence, she had quite a good impression of him.

The light in Jerry's eyes flickered briefly. “You should probably stay away from him. You wouldn't want to stir your boyfriend's jealousy.”
