Chapter 38

The following evening, Louis arrived early to pick up Genevieve.

Descending the stairs, Genevieve presented an image of mature charm, clad in a simple yet sophisticated professional sult. Her makeup, understated yet enhancing, drew particular attention to her sparkling eyes, captivating onlookers.

Their destination, a private dining restaurant selected earlier, was a bit of a drive away but boasted an ambiance well worth

the journey.

It was an ideal venue for a romantic couple’s outing.

Louis, in a gesture of classic romance, presented Genevieve with a bouquet of roses he had prepared. Accepting the flowers with an awkward smile, Genevieve remarked, “Mr. Fallon, you’re too formal…”

Louis replied with a smile, “Since you’re treating me to dinner, offering you roses is only fair, Ms. Lawrence.”

Genevieve found herself at a loss for words.

Louis, adept at filling any lulls in conversation, ensured that dining with him was a comfortable experience.

Their exchange gradually became more relaxed, filled with laughter and chat, though to a certain onlooker, their interaction might seem a bit unusual and somewhat of an eyesore.
