The next morning, Genevieve changed into a gray formal attire.
As she wore a short skirt with a pair of stockings, it was difficult for her to bend down.
In the corridor, she wanted to put on her heels. Hence, she pointed at the black satin high heels and
looked at Armand with an innocent look.
The two made eye contact for two seconds. At last, the man helplessly squatted and picked up a high
heel. After Genevieve raised her petite foot, he grabbed it and helped her put the heel on.
She lowered her head and looked at the crown of his head as the corner of her lips quirked up.
After the man helped her with her high heels, she leaned forward to kiss him, typing: Thank you, Sir!
Xoxo!
“I’ll be going on a business trip to Baykeep for a few days.” Armand glanced at her phone and stepped
into the elevator first. “Do you need Steven to stay behind?”
Genevieve shook her head, replying: You’ve promised that Marilyn will not cause me trouble again. Thus,
you should bring Steven, as he is also your secretary.
She couldn’t help but ask: Why are you going on a business trip? Is there a dinner meeting or a party?
“Mm, probably.”

Additionally, try to refrain from drinking too much alcohol when having a meal! If I realize something extra
on your body when you return, you will be a dead man!
Armand believed that if the phone had a physical keyboard, she would have broken the keys with her
feisty temperament.
He couldn’t help but chuckle softly as he reached out to rub her chin.
Sadly, in the next second, she slapped away his hand rudely.
Genevieve had gone on a business trip to Bera and stayed at Springwyn for some time. Consequently,
she hadn’t gone to the office for about half a month.
When her colleagues from the same department saw her, they greeted her, “Genevieve, you’re finally
back from your business trip!”
Genevieve smiled and took some desserts and coffee, placing them on the desk. She gestured for her
colleagues to take them, then typed on her phone: My vocal cords are hurt. Thus, for the time being, I
can’t speak.
After everyone knew about her condition and that she still came to work right after going on a business
trip, they looked at her with sympathy.
Genevieve noticed that Jenny was in her office, so she took a cup of coffee and went to find the latter.
Upon learning that Genevieve’s vocal cords were hurt, Jenny wanted to grant the former a few days of
break. However, Genevieve refused the kind offer. As such, Jenny allocated some tasks to her.
Genevieve walked to her workspace after coming out of Jenny’s office. As soon as she reached her
desk, a female colleague, who sat beside her, slid her chair toward Genevieve.
“Genevieve, it looks like you’re in a good mood after your business trip.” The woman nudged Genevieve,
asking curiously, “Have you settled the problem between your husband and his ex-girlfriend? Have you
guys reconciled?”
In fact, Genevieve didn’t have the ability to take care of Marilyn. However, it was true that she and
Armand had made up.
With that thought, Genevieve nodded.
“Wow, that’s great! You’re such a courageous person.” Her colleague bit into her bread. “But, you still
have to pay more attention.”
Out of curiosity, Genevieve raised a brow and typed: Pay attention to what?
“That aspect, of course.” Genevieve’s colleague glimpsed at her. “You’ve just entered Central Group and
are still on your probation period. If you get pregnant before becoming an official employee, you might

Genevieve’s face flushed after she understood what her colleague meant.
Previously, when she and Armand were in Swallow Garden, they had slept in separate rooms. Therefore,
they had never thought about having any sexual precautions after the activity. After she moved into
Regality Gardens, though, the two had become much closer. As for the days spent in Springwyn, they
had some passionate nights too.
However, Armand was the one who did the work every time, so Genevieve didn’t pay much attention to
it.
“Hey, why are you not speaking?” The woman pushed Genevieve, advising sincerely, “Genevieve, you’re
still young. You’d best not be lovestruck. Even if your husband is a capable man, it will always be better if
you can support yourself financially. Ms. Griffin seems to value you, and you can excel in your work. At
this age, you should plan your career path. Central Group is an established company. I’m sure you know
how difficult it is to get a position here. If you can be an assistant manager, it will be much better than
being a cautious housewife who’s always worried that they will offend their partner.”
Silently, Genevieve listened to her colleague as she opened her medicine and drank it.
If I tell them Armand is my husband, I’m sure everyone in the department will be furious.
