My Husband Is a Gary Stu

Chapter 1041

The next morning, Armand received a call and learned that an overpass had collapsed in Jadeborough, causing the death of two people, with many others injured. Hence, Genevieve hurried back to the city together with him.

Due to the urgent situation, the staff at the Department of Public Information had come in to deal with the aftermath.

The moment they arrived in Jadeborough, Genevieve started to busy herself. At the same time, she saw how Armand stayed calm while dealing with the disaster.

Fortunately, the matter was resolved in time. Together with the official press releases, the uproar wasn't long-lived.

Coincidentally, the mayor was away on a business trip during the incident, leaving Armand in charge.

Given how smoothly the matter was dealt with, the mayor—upon his return—personally came to see Armand in his office. There, he informed the latter about a dinner that night and invited Armand to join him.

No sooner had Armand escorted the mayor out than Genevieve entered his office and closed the door behind her. “You look like a salesperson who has secured a major deal, and the boss is just dying to reward you.”

Armand received the coffee she handed him and took a sip. “Don't you want to try the mutton the mayor's wife reared herself?”

“Why would I want to work late just when I can finally catch my breath after a frantic few days? Do you think I enjoy torturing myself?” Genevieve rolled her eyes at him before returning to her desk.


With a frown on her face, she added, “Don't you think I've lost my mind? Instead of running my own company, why did I come here to suffer?”

Cocking a brow to accompany his smile, Armand retorted in a deep voice, “For the lucrative pension?”

Genevieve didn't even bother to respond.

As it was time to get off work, Genevieve retrieved her phone from her drawer to check her messages. Among them was Charlotte inviting her to go out for the night.

Truth be told, Genevieve didn't know her that well. She could vaguely recall the group of rich youngsters organizing a competition for who was the top socialite in Jadeborough. Back then, she and Charlotte had taken turns obtaining first place.

In fact, she had even forgotten when she added Charlotte to her contacts.

Meanwhile, Charlotte was someone who loved buying things, especially when it came to jewelry. Since there was an auction that night where the items on the block were of interest to her, she decided to invite Genevieve along for a fun evening.

Upon clicking into the electronic brochure the former had sent, Genevieve, too, was tempted by the jewelry that greeted her eyes.

With no other programs for the evening, Genevieve agreed to meet Charlotte at the entrance of the auction house. While leaving the office, she informed Armand, “I have something on tonight too.”

Armand grunted in acknowledgment. “If my dinner ends early, I'll go pick you up.”

Tilting her head curiously, Genevieve inquired, “Aren't you going to ask me where I'm going? What if I'm going out to flirt with some guys?”

“Do you even dare?” Armand threw the question back at her.

Just when Genevieve was about to respond with a defiant retort, Armand shot her a glare with his black abyss-like eyes, sending a chill down her spine and dousing the fiery aura in her.

Without waiting for him to ask, she told him about the auction she was going to attend.
