Chapter 67
Flawless and Flirtatious (Genevieve and Armand)
âSteven! Steven!â Patrick dashed into the room.
He embraced and planted a big kiss on Stevenâs face. âHow did you know that I liked that Pagani, Steven? You even got it for me! You are really kind! Iâm so glad to be your brother in this life!â
Steven wiped Patrickâs saliva off his face and stated emotionlessly, âThat vehicle is not yours. It belongs to Mrs. Faulkner.â
âHuh?â Patrickâs face fell.
âThe fact that I can even feed you is already good enough. How can I afford to buy you a car, let alone a limitedâedition car?â Steven rolled his eyes and handed Genevieve the key to the Pagani.
âMrs. Faulkner, this is the new car that Mr. Faulkner ordered for you. In the future, you can drive this car to work.â
âThanks.â Genevieve felt rather helpless as she took the key.
She had asked Armand to get just any car for her.
However, he had gotten her a limitedâedition Pagani. It would be really hard to keep low profile while driving such a car.
âForget it, then. In the future, I will also work for Central Group, and Iâll be able to drive this car then!â
After a brief moment of sadness, Patrick rapidly regained his vitality.
He took the violin case from behind him and handed it to Genevieve. âI have a gift for you as well, Genev!â
When Genevieve opened the violin case, she saw a beautiful brown violin inside. Its body was made from wood of the best quality, and even the strings were pricey.
When she looked at the side of the instrument and saw the name of the person who made it, she turned and looked at Patrick in shock.
âThis is a handâcrafted violin by Master Emeti?â
âIt is!â Patrick raised his eyebrows and said proudly, âI googled him. This gentleman was a skilled luthier, and this instrument was one of his favorites throughout his life!â
Genevieve was surprised because she knew how pricey violins crafted by this luthier were. âHow did you obtain it?â
âIt doesnât matter how I got it. Itâs a gift for you!â Patrick felt guilty for a moment as he recalled the process of acquiring the violin.
He flashed another cheeky grin. âSo, what do you think, Genev? Iâve been nice to you, havenât 11â
From the moment Patrick raced into the room, Armand exhibited little interest in their conversation. As soon as he saw Patrick pull out a violin and deliver it to Genevieve, he turned his attention to her.
Suddenly, Armand asked, âCan you play the violin?â
âChildren from affluent families should be skilled in the arts.â Genevieveâs lips twitched when she heard the hint of surprise in his tone. âDid you think I canât do anything as well?â
âYeah.â
Armandâs answer left Genevieve speechless.
He was having his coffee while sitting on the couch. As he observed Genevieve conversing with Patrick while deftly tuning the strings, he didnât know why, but his normally icy eyes warmed.
âSteven, transfer a million to Patrickâs card,â he ordered Steven abruptly.
âWhoa, Armand. Youâre filthy rich!â Patrick got excited for a moment and quickly waved his hand. âYou donât have to send me money. This is my gift to Genev for joining the company.â
âThat amount is nothing to me,â Armand said casually. âSince sheâs my wife, I can buy her anything she wants.â
Patrick was dumbfounded by his dominant personality. He could not help but state cheekily, âArmand, you are indeed a bossy CEO. Thatâs cool! But why let your interests be restricted to only women, Armand? Hello, look at me over here?â
When Armand heard what he said, he frowned and looked at him with a darkened expression. âDo you have a death wish?â
