Chapter 115
It was quiet for a few seconds. Genevieve then chuckled softly. Her eyes seemned misty in the darkness of the night, somewhat tender and playful. She said, “It’s not that I’m soft-hearted. She treated me like this because of you. It’s your fault, after all!”
Louis trok a deep look at her and smiled helplessly as if he was condoning her unreasonable behavior. He asked, “How can it be my fault?”
The two smiled at each other. Genevieve casually brushed her hair around her ear.
Louis stood up. He retrieved two green bills from his wallet and put them on the table. His voice was gentle as he said, “Sir, it’s okay. Stop working. I’ll leave the money here. It’s time to close the stall”
He was well-educated and cultured and did not want to be calculative after wasting other people’s time.
The owner was startled and reminded, “Hey, the food is not ready yet. Don’t you want to eat it?” “No, just take it back. I’m sorry to keep you from getting off work,” Louis said and smiled before taking the bag for Genevieve. Then, he walked to the car with her.
Louis then sent Genevieve back to the Lawrence residence and left.
After Genevieve went in. Dennis was relieved to see that she had not drunk alcohol. He inquired, “Ms. Lawrence, are you hungry? Shall I get someone to make some food for you?”
Genevieve shook her head and said with a smile, “No, I’m not hungry. You should rest earlier!”
“Okay,” Dennis replied.
Genevieve returned to her room and saw the pink diamond Samantha had put on her desk.
She picked it up and scrutinized it in the light. It was dazzling. ‘No wonder everyone diamonds!’ Genevieve thought.

She took a picture of it and sent it to Samantha. She texted: [Thank you, Mom!]
Samantha replied: [Sweetheart, go to bed early!]
Genevieve put the diamond in the safe and planned to take it out again once she found a designer.
Louis had approached Genevieve more frequently these days. However, there was always something important, so Genevieve could not refuse.
Every day, roses would be delivered when they were at their most beautiful.
Everyone in Eagle Entertainment knew that Louis was pursuing Genevieve.

Genevieve had talked to him about that several times, but Louis just smiled and said, “I don’t mean anything. It’s just that you will feel good to see flowers every day. I hope you will be in a good mood every day!”
Genevieve could not even refuse.
A few days later, Sidus Entertainment finally agreed to terminate lan’s contract.
Lawyers on both sides breathed a sigh of relief.
Ian was also surprised that the people in Sidus Entertainment changed their attitudes fast. Soon, het understood why.
Anthony’s secretary, Daniel, had once asked him casually, “Are you close with Ms. Lawrence?”
Ian spoke the truth. He said, “Not really. I’ve only met her twice.”
Ian had met Genevieve once at the bar and once in her office. After that, he happily joined Eagle Entertainment.
One day, when lan met Genevieve downstairs coincidentally, he deliberately approached her and said, “Ms. Lawrence, I found out a secret!”
Genevieve raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, “Can it still be called a secret if you’ve found out about it?”
Han turned around the corner and smiled. He asked, “Do you know why Sidus Entertainment previously won’t let me go?”
Genevieve frowned and shook her head. She did not care about it at all and had left everything to the lawyer.
lan raised his eyebrows and said, “When we danced in the bar together, Mr. Hoffman misunderstood our relationship. So, he didn’t want me to come near you. But Daniel came to me a few days ago, and then they let me go. It shows that Mr. Hoffman cares about you in his heart!”
Genevieve paused and glanced at him, expressionless. She drawled, “You have such a rich imagination. Why don’t you become a scriptwriter?”
“Wouldn’t the entertainment industry lose a talent then?” Ian said.
“It’s not a big deal without you,” Genevieve replied.
Ian grinned. His handsome appearance was tinged with a casual and unruly demeanor. He was a maverick idol in the industry.
He would not dress and speak according to the requirements of his fans, and he even had a rebellious mentality.
Genevieve suspected his family was well off but did not investigate because she was uninterested.

Ian followed Genevieve to the elevator. When he saw a huge bunch of roses in her office, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Mr. Fallon is also not bad. But I think neither of them suits you!”
Genevieve raised her eyebrows and asked, “Oh?”
“I’m the most suitable for you. May to December romance is the most trending nowadays,” lan said, patting his chest with a smile as he recommended himself.
Genevieve glanced at him speechlessly. Finally, she ordered, “Get out and close the door.”
“Okay,” he replied easily and left directly.
The scent of roses wafted in the air and could indeed put people in a good mood.
Not long after, Jasper knocked on the door and came in. He said, “Andrea is here to see you!”
Genevieve pursed her lips and chuckled, her coffee in her hand. “I’m busy. I’m not seeing her,” she responded.
Obviously, only the Hoffman family could help the Thomson family now. However, Anthony would not care. As for Quincey, she would not let anyone take advantage of the Hoffman family. Thus, Andrea had probably been rejected by Quincey.
Soon, Jasper came in again and said, “She won’t leave and insists on waiting for you
Genevieve would not waste her time on Andrea, so she did not answer.
Seeing that, Jasper understood what she meant and left her office.
Genevieve had two videoconferences in the morning and read several emails from Jeffrey, which were all to prepare her for joining Lawrence Group.
At noon, Genevieve had a lunch appointment with Jacinta Sanders, the CEO of Cosmo Group.
It was not appropriate for her to go alone. Unfortunately, Jasper had something else to do at noon.
At that time, when Genevieve saw Ian, who had yet to join the team, she paused and waved at him. She invited, “There’s a business lunch at noon. Would you like to come with me? We’re only eating. No drinking!”
There were always women at a men’s party, so there should also be men at a women’s
was the famous saying of Cosmo Group’s Jacinta.
Ian frowned reluctantly and said, “I don’t want to…”
“100 thousand dollars for a meal,” Genevieve said.
“I don’t want to miss this opportunity!” lan said with a smile.
party. That
There were many artists in Eagle Entertainment. Ian had just joined the company, so he naturally

would not receive any special privileges.
His manager told him to wait patiently for the opportunity, and he would choose suitable scripts
for him.
That did not mean he should just sit idly and squander his wealth.
Ian walked over and carried Genevieve’s bag with a smile. He said, “Gen, let’s go!”
Genevieve could not help smiling. She found him annoying yet amusing.
When the two of them arrived downstairs, somebody stopped them before they even walked out of the building.
Genevieve raised her eyes and looked at Andrea, who was in front of her, indifferently.
Andrea looked pale, weak, and quite haggard. She said, “Genevieve, I need to talk to you.”
Ian looked at Genevieve and then at Andrea. He suddenly understood something. “Sorry. Ms. Lawrence is very busy. Every minute is precious. Please make an appointment in advance. She won’t just talk to anyone!” lan said.
Andrea’s face turned pale. She bit her lower lip and glared at lan. She muttered, “I’ll just say a few words.”
After she was rejected by Quincey, the noblewomen and socialites around her instantly backed away and avoided her.
Since even the Hoffman family would not help her, they would not meddle in her affairs. People in the social circle acted according to the situation.
Andrea was an artist who had been pampered since childhood, and playing the piano was only her hobby to improve her status. However, now, she found that her hobbies were of no help.
She was not famous enough, and her abilities were not good enough. Right then, with her income from playing the piano once at the theater, she could not even afford a bag she used to buy in the
past.
Her status fell drastically.
