Chapter 139

It was a question from a middle–aged man with a gentle and refined demeanor.

Louis looked at the man and introduced him to Genevieve as he smiled. “Gen, this is my uncle–in- law, David Schmidt.”

Genevieve raised an eyebrow, as she hadn’t expected the first person she met to be David.

She extended her hand gently. “Hello, nice to meet you.”

David lightly shook her hand and let go. Judging by Genevieve’s demeanor, he seemed to perceive her as a pampered woman. “Where are you from. Gen? Who else is in your family?”

Louis‘ expression darkened slightly.

Genevieve tilted her head and replied with a smile, “I grew up with my parents in Friyx, where they run a small business. Didn’t Louis tell you?”

Louis chuckled softly as he casually wrapped his arm around her waist. “I’m not concerned about these details. Why bother with introductions everywhere, especially when Aunt Linda already knows? He.”

After all, he was only an uncle–in–law.

David awkwardly chuckled and then walked away.

Louis led Genevieve into the office, pushing the door open.

Genevieve glanced around the spacious, well–lit office with a formal atmosphere..

Louis walked over to the coffee machine and started brewing coffee. “Would you like milk in yours?”

“Yes, please, Genevieve replied.

Soon, Louis prepared the coffee and placed it in front of her. “You can sit and relax for a while. I’ll bring you over when the time comes.”

Genevieve nodded. “Sure, get back to work.”

Louis smiled apologetically, and then Fabio entered.

He nodded politely at Genevieve before turning to Louis. “Mr. Fallon, here are the updates on the project in Clusia. Since news of your accident spread, many conglomerates have attempted to disrupt the project, with Hoffman Group being the most aggressive.”

Upon hearing that, Genevieve couldn’t help but look up.

Louis‘ expression turned grave as he flipped through the documents in his hand. It seemed he wasn’t surprised. “Proceed with the original plan. Have the manager take over my position,” he instructed, clearly prepared for this.
