Emilio smiled and diverted the question, greeting everyone cheerfully and modestly. He had a good personality. and talked sweetly. In addition, given his status as the grandson of Cosmo Group, everyone would show him respect. Soon, he was pulled to join them for a drink.
Genevieve wore a cinched waist black dress today, accentuating her voluptuous figure. Her long curly hair hung on both sides, revealing her beautiful collarbone and smooth shoulders.
She saw Anthony and walked over with a smile. “Mr. Hoffman, what a coincidence!” Although she was going to give up the plan, she thought she had kept him waiting long enough for the contract, and it was time to ease their relationship.
Anthony looked up at her calmly with cold eyes. She was beautiful. Whether she was angry or acting like a spoiled child, her eyes were like stars, and her fine eyebrows highlighted her elegance, which could easily stir his
emotions.
Genevieve said softly, “About the contract-
Anthony interrupted her with his handsome, cold face. “Genevieve, you broke the contract.”
“What?” Genevieve was confused.
Anthony secretly gritted his teeth but suppressed the emotions in his eyes and pretended to look calm. In the darkness, he reached out and clutched Genevieve’s arm tightly, as if he could break it with a little more force.
“You promised to stay with me and tell him to go, but you’re now with this pretty boy again?” Anthony’s voice was low and hoarse. “Genevieve, who do you think of me as? Someone at your beck and call?”
When the photo became a trending topic that day, he immediately asked someone to remove it. He didn’t even have Genevieve’s explanation or clarification. It seemed that she had admitted it silently. Anthony’s green eyes looked aggrieved.
‘He’s aggrieved?’ Genevieve looked at him in surprise, wondering, ‘Aren’t we over? It’s a tacit understanding! Why does Anthony’s reaction look like I have done something wrong to him?”
Genevieve suddenly found Anthony fascinating after he had lost his memory. They had just fought over TuringTech Innovations‘ project, but now, they were entangled in a personal relationship. ‘He is so schizophrenic!‘ she thought…
Genevieve smiled and patted Anthony’s arm. “He’s just my friend. You’re different.” She looked like a jerk when saying that.

The emotions in Anthony’s eyes surged as if there was a huge magnetic field in his eyes that could suck her in.
“Oh, what’s different about me?”
Genevieve blinked, thinking. The plan goes on! She picked up the wine in front of him with a smile and handed it to him gently. “I treat him as a younger brother and you as….a lover.”
Genevieve’s red lips were gleaming, and her body had a faint orange fragrance. Anthony’s eyes darkened when the approached him. The seemed to be a fatal temptation, which made his firm heart waver.
He had been angry for several days, even reflecting on what he had done too far. But he fell for her completely as soon as she lightly called him a lover. He admitted he had feelings for her, more intense than before.
Anthony was satisfied with Genevieve’s behavior of offering him the drink without caring about how others
looked at her.
He didn’t take it. Instead, he took a sip from the glass she was holding. The wine flowed into his throat, and the bitter and sweet stimulation was like a fire, boiling in his heart. His anger of the past few days dissipated.
Anthony’s green eyes flashed slightly, like a dangerous light glittering on the bottomless sea. “Genevieve.”
“Huh?” Genevieve asked.
“Don’t do it again.” Anthony took the wine and drank it in one gulp when she was stunned.
Genevieve smiled brightly, looked at him, and exposed his thoughts. “You were jealous and angry. Why didn’t you come to me?” She thought he silently agreed to cut off contact. ‘Anthony is not direct in this aspect,’ she mused.
Anthony pursed his lips. “I was waiting for your anger to subside.”
“Then until when will you wait? How can you know I’m not angry anymore?” Genevieve asked.
“When you come to me, it means you’re not angry with me anymore,” Anthony replied naturally.
Genevieve was speechless and thought, ‘Wow! The way a man thinks is so amazing!”
The private room wasn’t the right place. Anthony and Genevieve left.
Genevieve sent a message to Emilio. Anthony snatched her phone and glanced at their chat history. Seeing that there was nothing overboard, he closed it and handed the phone to her.
Anthony looked gloomy and said in a teasing tone, “He brought you to such an occasion to take advantage of you. Can’t you see that?”

He thought if their status were unequal, it would be exploitation. But if their status were equal, it would be at
mutual favor
Genevieve didn’t explain much and just nodded. “I see. Thank you for seeing through it, or I would have been
fooled!”
All men love such flattering words!‘ she mused and unconsciously thought of Rosalie, her predecessor. Although. Rosalie was gone, her influence still existed. The thought of Rosalie wouldn’t stir Genevieve’s emotions
anymore.
Anthony was satisfied with her answer.
When they walked out of the clubhouse, it was drizzling outside.
Genevieve stood there, feeling cold. She had left her coat in the private room. While hesitating whether to ask the staff to send it, she saw a young couple running out of the shop next door.
The man held his coat over the lady’s head, and they both got under it. The lady leaned shyly in the man’s arms. The man said excitedly, “On the count of three, let’s run together!”
Although they were running in the rain, their youthfulness and attitude of running toward the future were enviable. Genevieve watched as they ran away with secret regret.
The next second, Anthony’s clothes were put on her head. Genevieve subconsciously pulled it down to her
shoulders and put her arms into the sleeves, wearing it like a coat.
The two looked at each other. One looked blank, the other complicated.
Genevieve suddenly realized Anthony wanted to replicate the romance of that young couple. She couldn’t stand it and would rather have him kick her into the rain from behind. She thought a fight between them would be more normal than the scene earlier.
Genevieve frowned, put on Anthony’s clothes, grabbed her dress, and walked down the steps slowly.
The lights of the black Bentley parked on the roadside flashed. Genevieve walked up, paused, and looked back at Anthony. “Come and open the door for me.” She demanded naturally and wondered, “Why is he so insensible?‘
Anthony frowned at her, took a deep breath, and chuckled quietly. He shook his head helplessly and walked into the rain.
The ground was damp. His dark blue cufflinks glowed under the yellowish street lights. The glow was smeared with drizzle and instantly blurred. Then, the raindrops slipped down.

Anthony went over, opened the car door, and held his hand over Genevieve’s head.

Genevieve naturally bent over, got in, and brushed the mist on her dress elegantly. She pulled Anthony’s coat off her shoulders and tossed it aside.
Anthony got in the car from the other side and was stunned when he saw his coat. He smiled gently and said,
“Genevieve, only you dare to order me around like this.”
