Chapter 133 Just Wipe It Away Next Time

Before the downfall of the Rachford family, Genevieve would never hesitate when she bought a piece of jewelry for a few million at a jewelry auction. Besides, she had a black card with no credit limit.

Therefore, she was not money-conscious.

Armand came out with a glass of soda water and stared at Genevieve, “Add up your salary for the whole year and let’s see how long it takes for you to save eighty million.”

Genevieve subconsciously started to count her yearly salary after hearing Armand’s words.

Genevieve had recently joined Central Group, and she was paid at the rate of an intern. Even if she got a permanent post after a few months, her yearly salary and bonus add up to less than three hundred thousand.

Stunned, Genevieve froze after she had done the calculation. She thought her mathematics must have gone wrong somewhere. “Is money so hard to make?”

Armand’s lips curled into a smirk. “What do you think?”

Genevieve was rendered speechless.

“Ms. Rachford, go wash your hands.” Maria had made a beef burger and served it on a plate. Then, she continued, “Mr. Armand, I’ll make pancakes for you. Is that all right?”

“Sure,” Armand replied flatly as he walked to the dining table and took his seat.

Genevieve was deep in her thoughts while she washed her hands. However, when she returned to the dining table and saw the beef burger with a thick patty, her appetite was triggered and increased.

Genevieve took a huge bite of the beef burger. Then, she thought for a while and mumbled to Armand while she still had food in her mouth, “I can’t earn… ninety million with my effort… But wait until I get the company back…”

If my company earns money, isn’t it a piece of cake for me to earn ninety million?

Genevieve was in a hurry when she ate the burger and took a huge bite. Some white-colored salad dressing dripped down from the corner of her lips. She seemed to feel something at the corner of her lips, so she stuck out her tongue to lick it.

It was only a simple movement when she ate, but Armand felt a lump in his throat when he witnessed the scene, and his eyes darkened.

Armand took a piece of tissue out of the box, reached out, and helped her wipe off the salad dressing on the corner of her lips. “Next time, use a tissue to wipe it away. Why did you stick out your tongue?”

“I’m eating my breakfast. Isn’t it normal for me to lick my lips?” Genevieve felt he was being ridiculous, but she soon noticed the change of expression on Armand’s face.

Genevieve almost choked on her burger, and she stared at him. “What nonsense are you thinking? It’s early in the morning.”

“What am I thinking?” Armand gazed at her lips but quickly looked away. His voice was deep and husky.

“I’m only reminding you to be careful when you eat.”

Genevieve was speechless.

Genevieve had a great appetite. She thought she could finish the entire beef burger by herself, but after she had that conversation with Armand, she had a weird feeling when she stared at her burger.

Genevieve frowned and put down her burger on the plate. “Maria, did you prepare some oatmeal?”

“Yes.” Maria gazed at the kitchen island. There was a bowl of oatmeal on the table. Judging by its appearance, it seemed like it had been left there for quite some time.

Maria looked at the bowl of oatmeal again, and her expression contorted after having some conflict in her mind.

In the end, Maria grabbed a small bowl and wanted to prepare another bowl of oatmeal. However, Genevieve had already stood up and taken the bowl on the kitchen island.

“Ms. Rachford, this… I prepared this earlier today. Let me make another one for you.” Maria quickly stopped her.

“It’s okay. I can just have this,” Genevieve mumbled as she stirred the oatmeal with a spoon and took a bite.

The consistency and taste of the oatmeal were perfect.

“This oatmeal today is not bad. It’s sweet.” Genevieve took another bite and stared at Maria. “Maria, did you put sugar inside?”

Maria wiped her hands on her apron. “Nope, I’ve changed to another brand of oat.”

“No wonder. It’s nice.” Genevieve took the bowl and walked to the dining area.

Genevieve watched Armand take the burger on her plate and take a huge bite while he stared at his tablet.

Genevieve choked on her food again. “I only had two bites of that burger…”
