Chapter 46 Armand Is Clueless About Doting
“How dare you!” Queenie yelled.
“No, I didn’t. I merely spoke the truth! You can choose not to listen if you don’t want to,” Patrick hissed back at her.
He stretched out his arm, picked up a plate of fish and chips, and held it out to Queenie. “Here, have some fish. It helps make you smarter. Feel free to help yourself as much as you want. This one’s on me!” he said sweetly.
Then, Patrick picked up his own tray of food and stalked off.
Queenie gazed at the plate of fish and chips that seemed to be mocking her and resisted the urge to fling the plate onto the ground.
Her argument with Patrick had attracted a lot of attention. Almost everyone in the cafeteria had recognized Genevieve, and they started whispering among themselves. However, Genevieve ignored their stares.
“I’ll be going to the hospital to donate blood in the afternoon, so I can’t have lobster for dinner. But I can treat you to some,” Genevieve said.
She had enjoyed seeing Patrick put Queenie in her place.

“Are you donating blood out of kindness?”
As Patrick had been protecting her all this time, she decided to be honest with him. “I guess so. My blood type is pretty rare, which happens to be the same blood type as Dr. Jensen’s friend. His friend is undergoing surgery soon, and he needs blood. I will be donating a few bags so he can store them for future use.”
Patrick was confused. “Timothy is pretty famous in the medical field. How rare is the patient’s blood type that he insisted on drawing yours? Won’t your rich husband be upset?”
“Stop being dramatic, will you?” Genevieve replied in exasperation.
“If I had a wife, I wouldn’t allow anyone to stick a needle in her, let alone allow her to perform acts of kindness for others…” Patrick clicked his tongue. “Armand is clueless on how to dote on his wife.”
Genevieve was speechless. Unable to stand his nonsense anymore, she took her empty cup to the drinks section.
Queenie happened to be there as well. As the incident earlier was still fresh in her mind, she glared at Genevieve with resentment. When she noticed that Genevieve was making herself a cup of coffee, she discreetly poured some hot water into a cup.
When Genevieve was done with her coffee, Queenie picked up the cup of hot water and approached Genevieve.
She glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner and realized that they were in the camera’s blind spot. Thus, she quickened her pace toward Genevieve. Pretending to slip, she hurled the hot water toward Genevieve.
However, Genevieve shifted to the side instantaneously as if she had predicted Queenie’s movements.
Two people had been walking behind Genevieve. After she dodged, the hot water splashed onto the shorter man’s suit.
The suit did not provide much protection, and the man hissed in pain as the water scalded him.
Queenie had not expected this turn of events. Her face turned pale as she stammered an apology, “I-I’m sorry! T-The floor was a little s-slippery…”
The man endured the pain and reprimanded Queenie, “Couldn’t you be more careful then? You’re lucky that the hot water landed on me. If it scalded Mr. Faulkner, will you be able to compensate for the damages?”
Only then did Queenie realize that the man standing next to him was Armand. He looked at her with such coldness that her knees almost gave way beneath her.
Genevieve had only heard some footsteps behind her and never expected it to be Armand.
