Chapter 123

After lan finished speaking, Genevieve suddenly froze.

It was as if she had been frozen in place.

Blinking, she caught lan’s awkward yet polite smile, finding herself strangely silenced.

What the heck! No wonder everything seems off here! If word gets out, Selene would be the first to laugh at mel‘ she thought.

Genevieve sat there, feeling like she was on pins and needles.

As the gazes of many fell upon her, she felt her beauty fading into insignificance.

For the first time, she had the urge to find a hole and bury herself in it.

Ian couldn’t help but let out a chuckle, though he desperately tried to suppress it. “Well, Ms. Lawrence, of course you are attractive. Even the female stars in the showbiz don’t hold a candle to you, but this place…

Before he could finish, Genevieve cut him off, “So, you’re here because you’re gay too?”

Jan’s face turned pale, and he immediately waved his hands. “No, no. Of course not.”

Genevieve looked triumphant, lifting her chin defiantly. “Come on, you told me this is a gay bar. If you’re not, then what are you doing here?”

It could be serious if word got out that a popular star like Tan was gay.

Ian’s face turned pale. ‘A friend… a friend asked me to pick something up.”

Genevieve didn’t want to hear it, grabbing her purse to leave.

Ian panicked and hurried after her. “Boss…”

At the door, Genevieve paused and turned to look at him.

Ian pursed his lips and compromised, “I swear, I’m really not. Let’s just pretend I wasn’t here tonight, okay?”

Genevieve lowered her eyes and said, “And pretend I wasn’t here tonight too?”

Both were clearly embarrassed by the encounter.

Understanding her intent, lan nodded in agreement.

With that, they both turned and went their separate ways, as if the night had never happened.

Once home, Genevieve couldn’t help but soak in a hot bath to ease the tension from the evening.

As soon as she was about to rest, Daniel called her. She thought, ‘What’s up with him, calling this

late?”
