My Flirtacious Husband novel Chapter 564

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

When they were done ordering their food, Genevieve poured some coffee for both of them. “Jane, do you have any plans tonight?”

“No.”

“Me too. Why don't we go to Primrose River to fly some lanterns?” Genevieve took a sip of the coffee and said with a smile, “I heard that making wishes while releasing the lanterns can make them come 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.

I come to this restaurant all the time. Why didn't I find it bland in the past? Looks like I've overestimated myself. Bruce has only made me three meals, and it has ruined my palate.

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 but compare the food to Bruce's cooking. The more she compared 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 the company, 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 Bertilla 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 your company.

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 two layers. The top layer contained pieces of grilled meat wrapped in lettuce, which were neatly arranged in the container, while the bottom layer contained pesto pasta. They looked incredibly appetizing.

After arranging them properly on the table, Genevieve placed 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.

Both of them texted each other a lot, but it only contained words, which made the conversation look serious. Thus, Genevieve burst out laughing 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 according to the night. It was a great place for a walk and picture-taking.

Every year, during the Sky Lantern Festival, thousands of people would come to Primrose River to fly their lanterns, making it a majestic sight.

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

Meanwhile, at Specter Corporation, Bertilla, who received Genevieve's text, took a deep breath and mustered his courage to knock on the CEO's door.

Entering the office, Bertilla said in an awkward tone, “Mr. Sutton, you'll have to drive to the club on your own later. I'm going to Primrose River for the Sky Lantern Festival tonight.”
