My Flirtacious Husband

“Since I have been absent for the past few days, I bet there is plenty of work awaiting me in the office now.” After standing up from her chair, Genevieve added, “Mando, I’ll wait for you in the underground parking lot as soon as I get off work.” Armand decided not to object to her decision upon witnessing her determination to return to work. “I’ve asked Steven to investigate Queenie’s issue. My men have also announced to the public that you met with Cooper at the hotel and that he was scheming against you.” Genevieve smiled at his words. “Good. I was worried that I would be entangled in the incident related to Queenie and couldn’t return to work as a result of that. Thank you, Mando, for dealing with this matter so perfectly.” She then walked around the dining table, got to Armand’s side, and kissed his cheek as a reward. Armand was surprised by it. Soon, the news about the head of Specter Corporation trying to assault his ex-wife could be seen almost everywhere on the internet. When Genevieve, one of the parties involved in the assault, arrived at Central Group, all the employees, including those she bumped into when she used the elevator and the female janitors, would ask her about the news. As soon as Genevieve stepped into her department, her colleagues immediately approached and surrounded her. They scolded Cooper for being a bastard as they comforted her sympathetically. Despite what they showed, Genevieve knew that most of them were taking pleasure in her misfortune. And, of course, she didn’t let this opportunity go to waste. She activated her Oscar standard acting skills and piteously told everyone what had happened that night with her reddened eyes. This was so they would have the information they needed to gossip. In just a morning, Genevieve gave many of her colleagues a good impression. Some even took the initiative to teach her to do things and included her in their gossip groups. Genevieve was so impressed with their pleasant behavior to the point she wanted to thank Cooper. In the afternoon, she even went to a restaurant with a few female colleagues for lunch. Soon, the topic of their conversation shifted to Armand as they chatted. “Remember when I told you guys that Mr. Faulkner is married, but none of you believed me then? Well, see for yourself. Mr. Faulkner is wearing a wedding ring.” “But who is the person he married to? Why didn’t the public get any news about this?” one of the colleagues asked curiously. She even made an assumption. “Did he get back with his first love?” “Oh, I heard Mr. Faulkner’s first love is Mr. Samuel’s wife.” “Are you sure?” Stunned, the female colleagues drew a sharp breath after hearing such breaking news. The colleague who gave the gossip then shook her hand. “Actually, I heard that from someone. But, wealthy families are always a mess. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s true.” Upon knowing one of the colleagues managed to take a photo of Armand with his wedding ring, the others requested to have a look at it. “Huh?” After taking a look at the photo, one of the ladies shifted her attention to the ring on Genevieve’s finger. “Genevieve, Mr. Faulkner’s wedding ring is the same type as yours.” “Is it?” Genevieve replied curiously and leaned forward to take a closer look at the photo. A few seconds later, she returned to her seat and said with a smile, “What a coincidence. It never occurred to me that I would purchase a ring similar to Mr. Faulkner’s. It seems that this particular type is popular. Maybe that’s why Amazon sells it as well.” She then added, “Anyway, please don’t overthink it. If I were Mrs. Faulkner, I’d stay home and let others serve me. I wouldn’t bother to tire myself with work.” The colleagues agreed that she had a point after hearing her explanation. The ladies shared the same thought at that moment. Exactly. There must be news about it if Genevieve is Mrs. Faulkner. Plus, no rich wives would give up enjoying pampering themselves, working in their husbands’ company, and desperately hiding the news of their marriage. Even though Genevieve is gorgeous, Mr. Faulkner would be disinterested in her deadbeat family background. Hence, there is no way Mr. Faulkner would have eyes for someone like her. Genevieve heaved a sigh of relief upon noticing that her words had dismissed their doubts entirely. She then cleverly shifted the topic of their conversation. “Ladies, I have a question for you all.” She rested her chin on her hand and slowly continued, “My husband has a female friend, and I feel they are too close. He even keeps a photo of her in his wallet. Do you think this is normal and that I’m worrying too much?” “You’re right to be worried about it. Something is wrong with your husband.” One of the colleagues frowned and continued, “Your husband is rather oblivious.” “I agree. He’s married. Why would he keep a female friend’s photo?” one of them chimed in. She even asked, “Does the woman frequently text your husband? If yes, you’d need to be more careful. Let me teach you some stuff.” Among the female colleagues, two were married and had kids, so they knew the nook and cranny of marriage very well. Upon realizing that Genevieve was having a crisis in her marriage, they transformed themselves into mentors and patiently gave her lessons about marriage. At that point, Genevieve had successfully shifted all the female colleagues’ attention from whether Armand was married to her marriage condition.
