Chapter 564 Betrayed By His Actions


    The next day, Genevieve went off to have lunch with Jane after settling some things in thepany.


    When they were done ordering their food, Genevieve poured some coffee for both of them. “Jane, do


    you have any ns tonight?”


    “No.”


    “Me too. Why don''t we go to Primrose River to fly somenterns?” Genevieve took a sip of the coffee


    and said with a smile, “I heard that making wishes while releasing thenterns can make theme


    true.”


    Jane held her cup and said absentmindedly, “Okay.”


    Soon, the dishes were served. Genevieve ate a piece of stir-fried beef, and she frowned. It differed


    from the one Bruce made.


    Ie to this restaurant all the time. Why didn''t I find it nd in the past? Looks like I''ve overestimated


    myself. Bruce has only made me three meals, and it has ruined my pte.


    Seeing Genevieve sigh, Jane lifted her head to look at the former. “What''s wrong, Genevieve?”


    “It''s nothing.”


    With every bite Genevieve took, she could not help butpare the food to Bruce''s cooking. The more


    shepared the dishes, the harder it was for her to eat.


    After taking a few bites of the food, she put down her utensils.


    When Genevieve and Jane returned to thepany, the receptionist stopped the former. “Ms.


    Rachford, your lunch has arrived.”


    Seeing the receptionist taking out a bear-patterned lunch box, Genevieve said, “I didn''t order anything


    for lunch, though. Did Berti from Specter Corporation deliver this?”


    “No.”


    Right then, Genevieve''s phone vibrated. It was a WhatsApp message from Bruce.


    It read: Ms. Rachford, I''ve prepared some grilled meat and pesto pasta today. I''ve sent someone to


    deliver it to yourpany.


    Hah! Who wants to eat your cooking?


    Genevieve mocked him in her heart. At first, she wanted to let the receptionist get rid of it, but in the


    end, she still brought the lunchbox back to her office.


    The lunchbox had twoyers. The topyer contained pieces of grilled meat wrapped in lettuce, which


    were neatly arranged in the container, while the bottomyer contained pesto pasta. They looked


    incredibly appetizing.


    After arranging them properly on the table, Genevieve ced a piece of readily wrapped grilled meat


    into her mouth.


    The meat was grilled to perfection. With the savoriness of the sauce and the sweetness from the


    lettuce, it was amazingly delicious.


    As she was busy munching on the food, she received another text.


    Bruce wrote: Ms. Rachford, you really misunderstood me yesterday. I wasn''t thinking of Coco. I just


    remembered a scene from a movie and felt sad.


    He sent another text: Besides, I dislike women. Didn''t you notice I stayed away from Coco when she


    came looking for me that day?


    Another one came in: It''s okay if you don''t want to see me. Just let me know what you want to eat. I


    can get someone to send it to you. By the way, I''m going to Frosa to film a movie on the sixth.


    Genevieve was stunned by the chain of messages sent by Bruce.


    Are all actors that observant? I didn''t say anything yesterday, but he still realized why I was angry.


    However, the fact that he was so understanding made her feel that she was being too petty.


    Moreover, she was not in a rtionship with him, which made it a little odd for her to get angry by


    misunderstanding him for thinking about his ex-girlfriend.

    Even so, Genevieve quickly found an excuse for herself. I was just worried Bruce might fall for his ex-


    girlfriend''s attacks. If that happens, it''ll ruin his career that''s starting to go well.


    She felt much better at that thought.


    After finishing the grilled meat, Genevieve finally replied to his text: I''ll let you know what I want for


    tomorrow.


    Bruce: Okay. There''s a skyntern festival at Primrose River tonight. Would you like to go?


    Genevieve stared at the text for a while before replying: I''ve invited a friend to the festival tonight. I''ll


    see you there.


    Bruce replied with a cute, nodding emoji.


    Both of them texted each other a lot, but it only contained words, which made the conversation look


    serious. Thus, Genevieve burst outughing when she saw the emoji Bruce sent.


    Soon, Genevieve finished the grilled meat and pasta, and she felt slightly bloated.


    I bet his cooking skills actually aren''t that great. He must''ve added some special spice to the dishes he


    prepared for me. That must be why I crave his food all the time.


    She worked hard until it was six o''clock in the evening. Then, she went to the lounge to change out of


    her office attire before going to the film department to look for Jane.


    When Genevieve and Jane arrived at Primrose River, the sun had already set, and many people had


    already gathered by the bank.


    Primrose River was Jadeborough''s main river. Beneath the Bridge of Truth were many cafes and


    dessert shops along the bank. Every night, the decorative lights on the Bridge of Truth would change


    their colors ording to the night. It was a great ce for a walk and picture-taking.


    Every year, during the Sky Lantern Festival, thousands of people woulde to Primrose River to fly


    theirnterns, making it a majestic sight.


    Genevieve sent Berti a text to inform him they had arrived at Primrose River.


    Meanwhile, at Specter Corporation, Berti, who received Genevieve''s text, took a deep breath and


    mustered his courage to knock on the CEO''s door.


    Entering the office, Berti said in an awkward tone, “Mr. Sutton, you''ll have to drive to the club on your


    ownter. I''m going to Primrose River for the Sky Lantern Festival tonight.”
