Chapter 596
At that moment, Cooper came up to see Genevieve.
After knocking on the break room’s door, he opened it to see Bruce holding Genevieve’s snow white fect. At the sight of their intimate position, a gloomy expression descended on his face.
“Bruce Gable!” Cooper stormed in and ruthlessly threw his drink at Bruce, his cyes filled with murderous intent. “Do you have a death wish?”
By the time Genevieve realized what was going on, she put on her shocs and handed Bruce a tissue to wipe his face. “Coop, Bruce was just bringing me my Nats as I broke the heel on my shoes.”
“It’s obvious to me that his intentions extend beyond that!” Cooper sneered while being filled with the urge to smash his cup on Bruce’s head.
Thinking back to the kiss Bruce had planted on her legs, Genevieve was beset by a sudden sense of guilt.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCooper’s razor-sharp gaze looked as if it could pierce a few holes through Bruce. “As an actor, how dare you covet your own boss? Don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you dare lay a finger on Genev, I will break your legs myself!”
When she saw how Cooper’s disparagement of Bruce was escalating, Genevieve grabbed him and ushered him out quickly. “He’s just here to bring me my shoes, so don’t let your
imagination run wild. I still have my presence of mind with me. There’s no way I would be interested in him. Come on, let’s go.”
When she turned around and snuck a glance, she noticed that Bruce, too, was looking at her with
a darkened gaze.
With her heart skipping a beat, she instantly turned her head away.
When they arrived at the garden, Cooper was still suming. “Genev, you should sell Bruce to another company.”
“Ever since he made his comeback, he has managed to garner a legion of fans. Furthermore, we have no one else who is as good or has won as many awards as him.” Genevieve was reluctant to let him go. Warrick’s movie will not only elevate his popularity further but also rake in the profits for our company.”
Cooper gave her the side-eye. “Since when are you desperate for money?”
“I’m novshort, but who would ever turn down making more?” Genevieve threw the question back at him before adding, “Furthermore, Bruce is Jojo’s idol, and it was her who signed him onto the company.”
The grim look on Cooper’s face intensified when he realized it was impossible to get rid of Bruce. “In that case, you should stay far away from him. Do you understand?”
“Mmm-hmm.” Genevieve nodded.
A short while after both of them went their separate ways, Charlotte, who was also present at Paula’s niece’s wedding, came up to Genevieve upon spotting her. “Genevieve, is he an actor in your company?”
Trailing the trajectory of whcrc Charlotte was pointing, Genevicve saw Bruce standing in the corner of the garden with his gaze lowered while lidelling with his phone.
Her lips twitched before she admitted it, “He is.”
“That’s wonderful!” Towing the reluctant Genevieve along, Charlotte approached Bruce while murmuring to her, “When I asked Mrs. Hossler about him, she told me that he’s one of your actors and that his name is Bruce Gable. As he doesn’t look approachable and I’m too shy to talk to him alone, I need you to introduce me since you’re his boss.”
Upon hearing the sound of footsteps, Bruce looked up and saw the approaching ladies.
He put his phone away. “Ms. Rachford.”
When Genevieve noticed his slightly wet hair, she figured that he must have given himself a quick wash carlier. She subsequently pointed at Charlotte, who was standing beside her.

“It’s a pleasure to meet you.” Charlotte took a step forward with her hand extended.
Unexpectedly, Bruce stepped back to maintain a meter’s distance from her. “I’m sorry, but I have the flu. I’m worried that you might catch it.”
“It’s all right,” Charlotte replied with a vibrant smile as she put down her hand.
Noticing the look of admiration Charlotte was giving Bruce, Genevieve could clearly tell that the former was interested in him and was keen on chatting him up. Hence, she made an excuse to leave so as to give them both some privacy.
After picking up a glass of champagne from the table, Genevieve couldn’t help but look toward the corner of the garden.
There, Charlotte looked as if she was having a blast in her conversation with Bruce. She even flashed her phone at him so that they could exchange contacts.
Watching the scene, Genevieve felt a little disheartened.
No wonder Bruce dared me to get rid of him in the break room. Given his dashing good looks, he has easily captivated the daughter of a real estate lycoon. I‘m sure he already has plenty of girls within his contact list.
