Chapter 51\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMust I?\u201d Tristan asked, leaning down. As his face inched closer to Genevieve\u2019s, his warm\u00a0<\/p>\n
breath gently caressed her ear.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A cold, minty scent immediately enveloped her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The memory of the kiss from last night made Genevieve\u2019s cheeks heat up.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m just\u2026 worried about you,\u201d he said in a low, seductive voice. \u201cOr are you perhaps afraid of me, Gen?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve\u2019s heart skipped a beat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her? Afraid of him?\u00a0<\/p>\n
What a joke!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then a realization dawned on her. What did he just call her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked up, wanting to push him away, but her eyes were immediately drawn to his\u00a0<\/p>\n
intense, deep gaze.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a loud knock shattered the tension between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hannah peeked inside the office. \u201cGen, Landers Group-\u00a0<\/p>\n
Before she could finish speaking, she saw the unexpected scene unfolding in front of her. Her eyes widened like saucers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan straightened up nonchalantly and smoothed his sleeves. He smiled at Hannah, then said to Genevieve, \u201cI\u2019ll be going now. Come to me if you need anything.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
After he left, Genevieve finally collapsed back into her chair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What did that asshole want from her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
She covered her face with her hands. Her ears were worryingly warm.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was crazy. She must have gone insane.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan walked out of the building and got into the driver\u2019s seat of a black Bentley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he started the car, he couldn\u2019t hide the smile on his lips.\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 51\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou seem to be in a good mood, Mr. Hale,\u201d a cold voice rang out from the passenger seat.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James pushed his wire\u2013rimmed glasses further up his nose.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Tristan glanced at him, James tossed a manila envelope in his direction. \u201cI\u2019ve done what you asked.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan opened the envelope and flipped through the papers inside, his lips still curled in a\u00a0<\/p>\n
smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2019re acting strange,\u201d James said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat expression\u2026\u201d James said. The longer he looked at Tristan, the weirder he found it. \u201cYou don\u2019t look like someone who just signed a deal. You look more like\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He trailed off as if he were trying to find the right word. \u201c\u2026a cat who got the cream.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan\u2019s smile widened. Without bothering to deny it, he started driving.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James stared at him in shock. \u201cTristan, are you dating someone?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He couldn\u2019t think of anything else that could make Tristan\u2013an iceberg of a man\u2013show such\u00a0<\/p>\n
an expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Was there really a woman who could actually make Tristan fall for her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan held the steering wheel with one hand as he looked forward. The image of Genevieve\u2019s shy but irritated expression kept flitting into his mind. It was strangely enticing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He chuckled lightly and said, \u201cMind your own business.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Even though he didn\u2019t admit it, his tone and expression made it clear enough.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James was taken aback.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for Tristan, he felt the happiest he had in a long time.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He had genuinely fallen for Genevieve.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The black Bentley had just joined the flow of traffic on the road when James\u2018 phone pinged\u00a0<\/p>\n
with a news notification.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He clicked on it only to see the headline \u201cGenius Perfumer Cen to Host a Launch Event for the Release of Her New \u2018Rebirth\u2018 Series Tomorrow\u201c.\u00a0<\/p>\n
James turned his screen toward Tristan. \u201cShall we go for this?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 51\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan replied mildly, \u201cOf course.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
3\/3\u00a0<\/p>\n
The launch event for the Rebirth series took place the very next day.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was held at the most renowned art gallery in the city center. The building was packed with reporters and top perfume critics who had come to attend the event.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve was dressed in an ice\u2013blue off\u2013shoulder dress. The skirt of her dress was adorned with tiny gems that made it look like a starry sky. Her long hair was loosely pinned in an updo, with a few loose strands framing her face and fair neck. She looked as stunning and aloof as the moon in the night sky.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The moment she entered, everyone\u2019s eyes were drawn to her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
