Chapter 545 You Can Always Come Over


    Genevieve had just put a cherry tomato into her mouth then. She was torn between swallowing


    it and otherwise even as mortification inundated her. “I''m sorry.”


    I just wanted to change the subject, but I never thought that I''d step onto andmine.


    Conversely, Bruce was unbothered. “It''s okay. I know it wasn''t deliberate on your part, Ms. Rachford.


    You don''t have to take it to heart either,” he replied airily.


    Grunting in acknowledgment, Genevieve found him rather pitiful.


    His ex-girlfriend framed him for domestic violence, causing him to be bashed by theizens, detained


    by the police, and cklisted by hispany. When he had finally climbed back to his feet after much


    difficulty, disaster befell his family.


    She was afraid that she might reopen old wounds by asking questions, so she merely munched on the


    fruits while leaning against the marble counter without saying anything.


    Bruce was brisk and efficient at cooking. In no time, he had finished preparing two dishes and carried


    them to the dining room.


    Genevieve helped to scoop the pasta and carry the tes and cutlery to the dining room. After taking


    her seat, she took a piece of stir-fried beef with her fork and ced it into her mouth.


    The beef was sourish and spicy, delightfully delicious. That aside, it carried a familiar taste.


    When Bruce noticed that she was silent with her fork in midair, he queried, “Why, does it taste


    horrible?”


    “Oh, not at all.” Snapping back to her senses, Genevieve couldn''t help asking, “Where did you learn to


    cook?”


    Shrugging, Bruce replied blithely, “There are tons of cooking tutorials on the inte, so I only had to


    surf the inte for a bit. Furthermore, they''re all home-cooked dishes, so they''re a piece of cake.”


    “True. It''s just simple, home-cooked dishes.” Genevieve massaged her temples, sensing something


    amiss with herself.


    When I ate the cake, I found the taste familiar. And now, I find his cooking familiar when all home-


    cooked dishes taste almost the same. It''s just that I keep recalling someone and past events I should


    banish from my mind.


    Nheless, she swiftlyposed herself. Lifting her head, she shed the man a faint smile. “The


    food you prepared is delightful. It''s really rare that a celebrity can cook, and so deliciously at that.”


    “I''m too picky and don''t quite care for outside food, so I''ve got no choice but to cook for myself. This is


    actually the first time I''m cooking for someone else,” Bruce remarked casually.

    Utter astonishment flooded Genevieve. “Really? Doesn''t your assistante over to look for you?”


    Bruce grunted in affirmation.


    At that, Genevieve dered with a smile, “In that case, I''m pretty honored to eat something cooked by


    a celebrity who''s on par with a chef. Your fans would probably go green with envy were they to learn


    about this.”


    “If you really love my cooking skills, Ms. Rachford, you can alwayse over for a free meal.” As


    Bruce spoke, he got up and went to the refrigerator, retrieving an orange. Slicing it, he tossed the


    pieces into the juicer before carrying a ss of orange juice over to her.


    “Anyway, it''ll be the same dishes with an extra person eating.”


    He found nothing wrong with it, but Genevieve felt that it was inappropriate to always intrude into


    someone else''s house. Besides, it would be troublesome if they were photographed.


    Hence, she merely smiled without giving him a direct answer.


    After they had finished lunch, she suddenly asked, “Didn''t you film a movie with Sylvie sen a few


    years ago? How''s your rtionship with her?”


    “We''re nodding acquaintances, I suppose. I only started acting again after signing with Genevieve Orsi


    Productions, so I''ve gotten distant with everyone in the entertainment industry,” Bruce replied


    nonchntly. Then, he continued, “I heard that she''s General Zeigler''s granddaughter and is presently


    a big shot in the industry. Although we''ve starred in the same movie before, she''ll never bother about


    an inconsequential character like me, considering her current status.”


    Honestly, Genevieve knew that the entertainment industry was a ce that emphasized family


    background.


    “Why did you ask me that out of the blue, Ms. Rachford?” Bruce regarded her inquiringly. A moment


    Genevieve was taken aback before she waved a dismissive hand. “I was simply asking. As you said,


    she''s currently a big shot, so it isn''t easy to seduce her.”


    All at once, words eluded Bruce.


    “Oh yes, the movie I epted on your behalf is indeed a romance film.” Genevieve was worried that


    the atmosphere would turn awkward, so she changed the subject. “But there are few sex scenes.


    They''re all ambiguous scenes...”


    Seeing that she seemingly left something unsaid, Bruce arched an eyebrow and inquired, “Is a body


    double permitted?”


    “I didn''t ask.” Genevieve picked up the orange juice and took a sip. After that, she remarked calmly,


    “Don''t you loathe women? This movie is pretty good, for the main leads are men.”
