Chapter 597
After Genevieve returned to Jadeborough from the wedding, shc and Bruce didn’t keep in touch with cach other.
Perhaps he has kept his toord not to bother me.
Nonetheless, Bruce would still have someone bring lunch to licr at the office, and it would be a different cuisine every time. Even though Gencvicve wanted to get him to stop, shc just couldn’t resist the temptation of the food.
A few days later, on Twitter, Genevieve saw the director, who was Paula’s friend, publish a poster of his new movie.
All this while, Bruce had a squeaky clean reputation on the silver screen and mostly acted in romantic art novics. Even in his new role, where he played a mature introvert, he did so with relative ‘ease.
Genevieve, who wasn’t one to geek over movie stars, couldn’t help but feel impressed by the poster.
In the midst of admiring it, she received a call from Charlotte. “Genevieve, can you do mca favor?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“What is it?” Genevieve asked with a smile.
“I feel like asking Bruce out, but he seems really busy. Also, his WhatsApp is being managed by his assistant. As there’s this art exhibition today, I was hoping to get him to go with me. Therefore, can you please ask him on my behalf?” Charlotte pleaded.
Genevieve couldn’t help but admit the power of Bruce’s charm, given how easily he managed to mesmerize Charlotte. “It’s not my habit to get involved in my actor’s affairs. Besides, I don’t have his contact number.”
“But you’re the boss,” Charlotte replied gleefully. “Regardless of how busy he is, he still has to obey you. Genevieve, please.”
Faced with Charlotte’s pleas and the fact that she didn’t want to offend the former for fear of affecung Specter Corporation’s business, Genevieve had no choice but to agree.
As she had Bruce’s contact on WhatsApp, she dropped him a message, inviting him to meet at the entrance of the art exhibition at two.
Ever since Jane got together with Cooper, she had been happier than before. Occasionally, she would go grocery shopping and cook at home, enjoying a blissful life together with him.
After work, she went to see Genevieve. “Genev, I’m grilling steaks tonight. Why don’t you join us fot-dinner?”
“Forget it.” Waving her hand, Genevieve replied in resignation, “You know how picky I am about food. When you have finally mastered cooking, I will naturally come to you without waiting for you to invite me.”
Seeing her point, Jane let out a chuckle before leaving.
While Genevieve was driving home, she suddenly thought of the dessert shop from the other day. Thus, she slowed down and managed to find it in no time.
“Ms. Rachford, it’s really you!”
Coincidentally, the waitress from the other day was working the evening shift. Thus, she recognized Genevieve at once. “Our boss happened to be in today and has prepared two kinds of desserts. Would you like to try them?”
“Really?” Genevieve, who enjoyed the desserts prepared by the owner, took a seat inside upon hicaring those words.
Soon, the waitress served the desserts.
One was a slice of crepe cake, while the other was a chocolate cream puff. Both items looked sensational from the outside.
Unable to resist, Genevieve took a photo of them before digging into the cake with her fork.
The cake instantly melted in her mouth. The combination of its soft layers and fluffy cream felt like a match made in heaven. As for the cream puff, it was filled with creamy goodness that tasted sweet without being too overbearing.
Already impressed with the owner’s double-layered chocolate cake previously. Genevieve didn’t expect it to be outdone by the two desserts she had just tried.
She called out to the waitress again. “Can I meet your boss?”
“I’m sorry, but he left half an hour ago.” After giving her an apologetic reply, the waitress asked, “Miss, did you enjoy these two desserts?’
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGenevieve nodded. “Yes, they’re divine.”
Due to how delicious the desserts were, Genevieve wanted to get to know the owner so that she could bring Amanda there when the latter returned to Jadeborough.
Genevieve asked again, “In that case, can I have his number?”
“I’m sorry. We’re not allowed to share our boss’ contact with the public,” the waitress answered.
“Miss, since you like the desserts made by our boss that much, you can give us a call before you come over. We’ll then let you know if he’s around.”
Genevieve’s initial disappointment faded away as her eyes lit up upon hearing the waitress’ words. Thank you so much!”
“You’re welcome. Our boss values our customers’ needs very much.”
After taking down the shop’s contact number, she finished the cream puff before leaving in a cheery mood.
