    Chapter 1001 The Adorable Wife


    Genevieve checked the time on her phone and looked at Armand beside her. “It''ste. You should get going,” she muttered, shooing him


    away.


    “Rosa isn''ting back tonight,” Armand said. “Aren''t you scared to be alone at home?”


    Genevieve retorted, “This house is worth tens of millions. Its sheer worth would frighten away even the most vengeful of ghosts. Why should


    I be scared?”


    Armand could not help butugh, finding his Mrs. Faulkner far too adorable.


    He was thoroughly enchanted by her narcissism, sense of superiority, and cheeriness.


    Worried he would disgust her by pushing her too quickly, Armand grabbed his car keys from the coffee table.


    Before he left, he said to Genevieve, “You probably know about Ms. Briggs'' transfer to Feston by now. I need to appoint someone from your


    office as my new assistant.”


    Genevieve mumbled her acknowledgment, still clueless about what he was getting at.


    Armand promptly cut to the chase. “I had Ms. Briggs put your name on the list of candidates. The person who assumes this role will need to


    keep a close eye on current affairs and have a decent understanding of foreignnguages. That happens to be your forté.”


    “No thanks!” Genevieve''s rejection was swift. “You need plenty of experience to be a good assistant, and I''ve been in the Department of


    Public Information for barely a month. You have no idea how all the women in my department—married or not—have set their sights on you.


    If I be your assistant, everyone will be gossiping about how I slept my way into the position.”


    She still had no idea how she even got a job at a government institution.


    Smiling, Armand parried, “You''re right that experience is important in this role, but sometimes, rules are meant to be broken. We can always


    make an exception for a talented candidate.”


    Still, Genevieve shook her head. “My beauty is for others to praise and admire, not fodder for others'' nder.”


    “If you aren''t working beside me, how can we date? How would I convince you to fall in love with me?” Armand brushed her jaw with his


    fingers. “I''ll have to ask someone to send lunch and snacks to your office every day. That''ll keep the rumor mill running!”


    He ended his argument by saying, “If you share an office with me, they can''t gossip about my gifts. Isn''t that morefortable?”

    Genevieve mulled over his words as Armand added, “You''ll have more freedom in a private office too.”


    That reminded Genevieve of how Cassandra had made faces at her in the office yesterday. She did not enjoy sharing an office with women


    who scrutinized her every action.


    If Cassandra wants to take over Ms. Briggs'' position so much, I''ll do everything I can to stop her!


    “Okay, deal,” Genevieve agreed.


    “You should go to bed soon. Don''t spend too much time scrolling Twitter or TikTok.” Armand leaned down and moved his face closer to


    Genevieve''s. “Give me a good night kiss, Genev.”


    Genevieve stared at him for several seconds before darting inside the house for safety and mming the door shut. “Goodbye, Sir!”


    Armand smiled to himself and left.


    The next day, Genevieve reported to work at the government office as usual. At ten in the morning, Cali Briggs arrived at Genevieve''s


    department and summoned several people for an examination.


    When Cassandra heard Genevieve''s name, she immediatelyined, “Genevieve has barely been here for a month.”


    Cali replied professionally, “Genevieve has excellent foreignnguage skills. Her experience is secondary. We will consider all talented


    candidates for this role without discriminating against their age and experience.”


    Five people were chosen for the examination, which took ce in the conference room.


    Armand''s assistant would be in charge of disseminating his instructions and reporting thetest news to him promptly. Said person would need


    to be exceptionally careful in their work.


    The examination not only tested the candidates'' knowledge of current affairs but also their problem-solving skills in different scenarios.


    During her month-long tenure in the office, Genevieve''s work in news trantion and proofreading had equipped her well for the examination.


    She answered the questions wlessly and disyed excellent public rtions skills.


    Armand knew Genevieve did not have the prerequisite experience for the role, so he had cooked up an excuse to invite the institution head''s


    secretary to interview Genevieve.


    The secretary was pleased with Genevieve''s performance despite thetter''s young age.


    After the examination, the secretary followed Armand to his office andmented, “I thought Cassandra and Genevieve did pretty well out


    of the five candidates. Cassandra has been with us for two years, hasn''t she?”


    “If you''re going to look at years of tenure, I probably don''t deserve my current position,” replied Armand teasingly.
