My Flirtacious Husband (Genevieve and Armand) -
Chapter 424 Keep The Change
After an undetermined amount of time had transpired, the first light of dawn rose beyond those darkened windows, illuminating the dusky bedroom.
On and off the bed, it was the same state of disarray.
Lowering his gaze, Armand regarded the woman who had been using his arm as a pillow.
She was sleeping soundly with her slender brows bunched together, and her body was covered with marks from the neck down.
Soft and supple skin, with long and luscious raven-black hair, it has been so many years, yet she still looks like a young girl. From her eyes to her body, nothing about her has changed.
Armand pulled the comforter over to cover the woman with it. Spotting that black tattoo on her hip, he ran his fingertips over it a few times.
In the midst of her slumber, Genevieve moaned and snuggled herself into his arms as though her body needed her to.
It took Armand quite some time to slowly settle his own emotions. Then, his gaze reverted to the way it usually was.
Withdrawing his arm from Genevieve's head, he casually laid the comforter over her body and then got up to head inside the bathroom.
The doorbell sounded around the time Armand was done showering,
Having received instructions, Steven purchased two sets of clothing of the appropriate sizing.
When Armand opened the door to collect the clothing, Steven appeared to want to say something, but in the end, he decided to keep his thoughts to himself.
The timing at which Armand brought the clothes into the bedroom coincided with the moment of Genevieve's rousing.
Placing the long dress down on the bed, he removed his bathrobes and changed into a pairing of shirt and dress pants.
Sitting up, Genevieve waited for a while to sober herself up. She licked her own lips only to discover that her lower lip had been bitten.
Meanwhile, Armand straightened out his own attire. He reached for his cuffs from the side table and put them on unhurriedly. Turning toward Genevieve, he asked in a lukewarm voice, "By check, or something else?"
The man's words jolted Genevieve out of her trance. Only then did she recall what had happened between them the night before.
Clambering up in a state of agitation, she seized the man by the collar and pulled him toward her. "Are you blind, Armand Faulkner? Do I look like Sylvie Clasen? How could you have mistaken me for her?" The thought of being turned into another woman's substitute for no good reason riled up such a fury within her that it threatened to consume her from the inside out.
"F*ck you!" cussed Genevieve angrily.
Armand lowered his head to look at her.
Picking up the checkbook from the table, he wrote down a substantial figure on it. Then, he tore it out to pass it along to her. "I wasn't paying attention as the light inside the bedroom wasn't on last night. Will this be enough to serve as compensation?"
Subjected to insult on top of injury, Genevieve was so upset that she could only glare at him straight in the eye.
Snatching the check from the man, she tore it into pieces and hurled them into his face. Then she grabbed the undergarments and dress off the bed and proceeded to put them on.
Sylvie might appear to be more well-endowed than she was, but those clothes nonetheless fitted her very well.
Once she was done changing, Genevieve took her high-heeled shoes with her and stormed off. However, she did not go very far before she realized that her handbag had been left inside the room and hence returned to look for it.
Pouring out all the cash in the bag, she used them to pelt the man. "Keep the change!"
Armand's eyes glinted as he watched her depart from the rear.
Some time passed before he squatted down to pick up the remnants of that check and also make his own exit from the room.
Genevieve hailed a ride back to Regality Gardens.
Before she left, she had given Cooper the combination for the electronic lock to her condominium and asked him to look after it. On his part, Cooper would have part-timers come by to tidy up the place every week.
Hence, the interiors of the condominium looked as though she had never left.
Aside from the clothes left in the cabinet previously, Cooper also hired someone to purchase the seasonal collections of clothes and bags released by major designer labels every year, which were then arranged and placed inside.
After taking a shower, Genevieve used some concealer to hide the love bites on her body. Following that, she went out to grab some quick breakfast before she headed over to Specter Corporation. For a moment, the employees at Specter Corporation did not know how to react to Genevieve's presence as they heard that Genevieve had migrated to Dartan with Jack and had not returned since. In the entertainment industry, there's a woman, Sylvie Clasen, who looks uncannily like Genevieve...
The staff at Specter Corporation, though, found the woman before them to possess a much more compelling presence and also much prettier than Sylvie. As such, they did not think that she resembled Sylvie at all.
In spite of that, no one dared call out to her for fear of making a mistake.
