Chapter 84\u00a0<\/p>\n
Startled, Genevieve immediately turned around.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan had appeared behind her at some point and was expressionlessly staring at the lit screen of her phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But being as sharp as she was, Genevieve sensed that the air around them had gotten icier.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cA friend,\u201d she answered succinctly before locking her screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tristan didn\u2019t press further and changed the topic instead, \u201cAre you done painting?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve hummed in response.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not bad,\u201d said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After he gave her a fairly reasonable appraisal, he turned around and returned to the living room without saying another\u00a0<\/p>\n
word.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Genevieve watched his retreating back, she couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that something was off. Still, she didn\u2019t think too much of it. She just thought he was acting strange for no reason again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She lowered her gaze and replied to Greg, saying, \u201cI\u2019m honored.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Tristan returned to his room, he grabbed his phone and called a number.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The call was answered almost instantly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hale.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHelp me look into exhibitions at the art gallery next week,\u201d said Tristan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, Mr. Hale,\u201d said the man on the other end of the call.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso\u2026\u201d Tristan paused before he continued, \u201cContact the organizer of the exhibition on behalf of URI Corporation and offer to sponsor them.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Liam was stunned for a moment. Clearly, he couldn\u2019t figure out what his boss\u2018 intentions were.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was just a small art exhibition. Was there a need for URI Corporation to sponsor them?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hale, what\u2019s your plan?\u201d Liam asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMy request is very simple\u2013cancel Greg\u2019s artwork exhibition,\u201d Tristan said calmly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Early the next morning, the kitchen was already bustling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve was wearing a loose white cotton shirt, and her sleeves were casually rolled up, leaving her slender wrists exposed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was stirring the pan with a wooden spatula. It was filled with apple slices that she was sauteeing meticulously for the oatmeal porridge. The sweet aroma was simply intoxicating.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was usually what Tristan had for breakfast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As for Stella, she didn\u2019t deserve to have breakfast specially prepared for her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Right then, a series of extremely soft footsteps sounded behind Genevieve. She didn\u2019t even need to take a glance. She could tell who it was by the deliberately suppressed sound of breathing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella was dressed in adorable pink pajamas. She peeked cautiously into the pan, her tiny little nose scrunched up. It was clear that the aroma was making her mouth water.\u00a0<\/p>\n
X CLOSE\u00a0<\/p>\n
Chapter 84\u00a0<\/p>\n
But soon, a mischievous grin appeared on her lips as she said in a sweet voice, \u201cMorning, Genevieve,\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve glanced at her, sneering deep down. It was clear that Stella was up to no good since she had addressed her so sweetly. She simply hummed in response.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then she continued stirring the pan, pretending not to notice the mischievous look in Stella\u2019s eyes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stella didn\u2019t get mad at Genevieve for ignoring her. She tiptoed and grabbed the mug with a bear design from the highest shelf and stretched in an exaggerated move.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGosh, I\u2019m so thirsty. I want to have some water,\u201d she said. She pretended to shuffle her feet unintentionally, blocking Genevieve\u2019s line of sight perfectly with her body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Then, she quickly took out a small glass bottle, twisted the cap off, and emptied the white powder into the pan.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was half a glass of salt, which was enough to turn any delicacy into a disaster.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once Stella did that, she quickly stuffed the empty bottle into her pocket and put on an innocent expression. She even hummed the theme song of \u201cSnow Princess\u201c.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She could almost picture the looks on Genevieve and Tristan\u2019s faces when they ate their breakfast.\u00a0<\/p>\n
