Genevieve sighed. One time, when she was sick, Emilio happened to be there and force–fed her. He had been bragging about it for years.
She cut a piece of spicy grilled chicken and raised it toward Emilio, who couldn’t eat spicy food. However, he didn’t even realize what it was.
He raised his eyebrows arrogantly and swallowed it instantly.
Then, the heat of the spice hit Emilio, his face turning scarlet as he gasped. He couldn’t say anything.
Genevieve couldn’t help but laugh for successfully tricking Emilio.
The warm, dazzling scene carried a different meaning when others viewed it.
Anthony exuded a cold and frustrated aura as he gazed coldly at them. He could barely contain his rage as he wondered, “How can she seduce me and then chat nonchalantly with him?”
The client beside him looked over and felt that the scene was harmonious and beautiful. He hadn’t recognized Genevieve. He smiled and commented, “Couples nowadays are quite open. They are clingy and constantly want to be together. My daughter is the same. By the way, Mr. Hoffman, how old is your child?”
The client had long heard Anthony was married and thought it wasn’t possible for the latter not to have a child.
Anthony’s expression suddenly changed with that question. His green eyes instantly darkened, and he subconsciously looked at Genevieve sitting not far away.
Anguish filled his chest as stabbing pain spread through his heart, suffocating him in an instant.
He remembered Daniel’s words that he almost had a child, but the child passed away.
Anthony knew nothing after losing his memory but was filled with devastating agony from the loss. It had caught him off guard.
He had forgotten, but the pain was there. His body subconsciously remembered it.
The client noticed that something was amiss with Anthony and was about to say something when he saw the latter suddenly get up and leave.
He was stunned briefly before he left, too.

After making fun of Emilio, Genevieve glanced at the empty seat nearby and smiled as if nothing had happened. She looked at Emilio and asked, “Satisfied today? When will you head back to work?”
Emilio raised his eyebrows and scoffed. “When my Grandpa gets anxious, he will ask me to return.”
Genevieve nodded, took a sip of water, and pulled a card out of her bag. “Take the card. You can return it to me later,” she offered.
Emilio smiled brightly, showing his pearly whites, and teased, “Do you really think I’m broke? I have funds. Grandpa still holds power over the city. The penalty has been exempted, so I have enough money.”
Genevieve accepted his reason and took the card back. “Call me if you run out of money,” she reminded Emilio.
They had grown up together but had a fixed amount of pocket money, so neither could squander it at will. Their families were strict with them. If one spent too much, they would turn to the other for help.
It was normal for them to do that.
When Genevieve went to pay the bill, the server politely informed, “Our boss said the meal is on the house.”
“Your boss?” quizzed Genevieve in surprise. She didn’t know the restaurant owner. She looked at Emilio, but he
was clueless, too.
The restaurant had only opened recently, but the customers were from wealthy and noble backgrounds. The boss behind it was also mysterious and seemed wealthy, but no one had seen him before.
Instantly, someone crossed Genevieve’s mind.
She
pursed her lips, and her gaze turned cold as she groused, “Thank you.”
“It’s not like I can’t spend my money elsewhere. I won’t be coming here again, thought Genevieve as she left.
After seeing her become moody, Emilio immediately chased after her and cajoled, “Maybe the mysterious boss is a big fan of mine, so he shouldered the bill?”
Genevieve couldn’t help but glance at him and thought, ‘Sure feels nice to be clueless.”
Her mood lifted. Looking at a store across the street, she raised her eyebrows and said, “Since the dinner wasn’t my treat, I’ll buy you a gift with this money!”
Emilio looked at her happily sashay into the luxury store, rubbed his temple, and questioned hesitantly, “Do you really want to be my ‘sugar mommy‘?”

Genevieve didn’t hear him. She chose a sapphire–blue stud and checked how it looked on Emilio, “Do you like it?” she asked.
She didn’t wait for Emilio to answer before handing it to the salesperson and instructing, “I’ll take this.”
Emilio was speechless.
The generous way Genevieve spent money looked more like she was out shopping with her son.
The salesperson respectfully went to get the bill.
Emilio followed behind, holding Genevieve’s bag in one hand and the gift she had bought for him in the other. The more he looked at it, the more awkward he felt..
‘Presumably, the salesperson’s gaze was even worse just now!‘ he thought as he pursed his lips. He then smiled flirtatiously and teased, “Don’t you think I look innocent?”
‘I’m sure I look handsome and innocent!‘ mused Emilio.
Genevieve gave him a questioning look and immediately shook her head to deny it. “No. You look more like a middle–aged fool.”
‘Not so young, but stupid enough, she mused.
Emilio was speechless.
He was angry!
Genevieve returned to the company as she had work.
Jasper did not forget to feed Goldie.
When Genevieve returned, Goldie was sunbathing leisurely in its dog bed.
Genevieve smiled and began to prepare for the TuringTech Innovations project.
Although the project’s initial investment was huge, sharing it with two other companies was not worth it.
However, in the long run, it was how she could hold TuringTech Innovations‘ Achilles‘ heel.

Artificial intelligence had reached a peak, and any further would mean a breakthrough in the limitations and an opportunity to seize the market.
If Lawrence Group gave up on that project, it would be eliminated from the market in ten or twenty years.
So, Genevieve would never give up. She found Jacinta’s number and called it, but no one answered.
She found Jacinta’s WhatsApp and sent a message, but there was no response.
Genevieve’s heart sank slightly as she thought, ‘If I can’t get through to Jacinta, Anthony is my next option. But what if Jacinta and Anthony have come to an agreement?‘
Natalie was slightly annoyed. Seeing Anthony at lunch had affected her mood.
The afternoon meeting was held as usual.
Eric appeared in the conference room, which surprised everyone.
However, when Genevieve came in and he voluntarily pulled out a chair for her eagerly, everyone understood the situation behind him managing to stay on in the company.
Eric’s self–reflection report had turned him into the company’s laughingstock.
Before that, Eric had been the company’s most promising, influential, and even–tempered project department
director.
He cared the most about reputation, but that he could humble himself made people both admire and disdain
him.
Others who hadn’t attended the morning meeting were also there.
After seeing Eric’s self–reflection report, they realized how serious the consequences were.
They were afraid of Genevieve settling the scores later and sat there tremblingly.
Genevieve glanced over and gently instructed Jasper, “Let’s get started.”
Eric was mentally prepared. He read the self–reflection report in front of everyone again and added, “I’m a bad example that no one should follow!”
