My Flirtacious Husband

Chapter 138

Chapter 138
“Yeah. Sort of,” replied Patrick perfunctorily.
He did not raise his head and look her in the eye. Feeling bored, he opened the box of puffs and stuffed one into his mouth.
“I haven’t been feeling the best for the past few days too. Mando had given me two finance books which are as thick as bricks. Other than work, I’ve only been reading them,” stated Genevieve.
“Finance books? Did you start learning about finance?” Patrick was stunned upon hearing what she said.
“Yeah. Mando said that it’s best for me to study right now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have the time once I get the family’s company back,” she responded.
At that moment, his eyes accidentally met hers, and he quickly lowered his head.
Patrick had known Armand for a long time and knew that Armand was not a patient man. Judging by Armand’s gestures, Patrick could tell that Armand was looking out for Genevieve and was devoted to her.
That’s great…

“Patrick?” Genevieve called him when she saw him lowering his head. She began to wave her hand in front of him as if he did not hear her.
“I beg your pardon?” Patrick seemed lost as he looked at her.
“I said that the company is sending me on a business trip to Bera, and I want you to come along with me,” she uttered.
She thought for a while before she went on, “Why are you in a trance? Did you think about the task Steven told you to handle? I can go by myself if you’re busy.”
I guess it’s no big deal. I can meet up with Mr. Leigh’s team once I set foot in Bera.
Patrick went quiet before asking, “When are you leaving for Bera? I’ve done everything Steven told me to do.”
“Tomorrow morning.”
“All right. I’ll get the HR department to prepare my visa, and I should be able to get it tomorrow morning.”
Genevieve felt hungry as she watched him eating the puffs continuously. So, she reached for one and popped it in her mouth. “I’ll head over to Swallow Garden with you after work. You can go ahead and pack your stuff and stay at my place tonight. Then, we can head to the airport together tomorrow morning. Oh! Maria made some good soup for tonight.”
“Wow! That’s great! I love Maria’s cooking.” His eyes glistened as soon as he heard her words.
She let out a sigh of relief when she noticed his change of mood.
“Maria is like my nanny. I shall allow you to come to my place often to have meals since you’re such a sweet talker. All right, then. Enjoy the snack. I’ll leave now to get some work done.”
Subconsciously, she licked her fingers after eating the puff and recalled Armand’s warning. Quickly, she grabbed a few pieces of tissue from the tissue box.
Abruptly, she stopped in her tracks and turned around after taking only a few steps.
At that moment, Patrick was staring at her and was caught off guard. “W-What… What are you doing?” he stammered.
