Not One, But Two!

Chapter 68

After she hung up, Greg frowned. He had been thinking of breaking up with Genevieve a lot recently. He knew she didn't care about him, and that was why he didn't want to drag it out, but he never thought she would hang up. So she doesn't want to cut me off just yet.

Greg thought that she would eventually become his after she gave him her first time, and he thought patience would give him what he wanted. but now, he realized that he was just a tool for her to keep Cody in check. She kept him around just to use him, and that realization was depressing.

He was a proud man, but he lost his dignity all because of a woman, and it depressed him. She'll try to come up with another way to get a spot at the event. He took a deep breath and texted Cody, 'Genevieve wants that academic event slot. Tell your wife to be on the lookout.'

'Thanks for telling.' Cody answered quickly.

Greg felt a bit heavy and dark. This pointless relationship should be ended soon. For some reason, he wanted to smoke.

But just after he lit a cigarette, a fair hand appeared and took his cigarette away before dousing it in the sink. "The kitchen is a place for food, not cigarettes."

Abigail had come in. After she stubbed out his cigarette, she put on the apron and said, "You go out. I'll handle the rest."

She put the vegetables on the chopping board and cut them up. Her hands were fair and slender, and even cutting up vegetables looked like art when she did it.

Greg paused for a moment. Aside from him and his maids, no other people had ever been in it. With Abigail's addition, the kitchen felt a little cramped.

"Well, go on. Don't just stand there." She looked up. When she noticed that he was still here, she chased him out.

Her hands were cool, and Greg felt it through his shirt. It made him pause. "I'll do it." He looked at her chest. She really thinks she's fine, huh?

She said softly, "I saw you on the phone. It must be urgent, isn't it? You can attend to your work. I'll do the cooking. I know what the girls like the most."

So this is why she came in. He looked at her. Genevieve never cooked, so I learned how to cook for her, but she has always taken it for granted. She has never helped me in the kitchen, nor has she ever praised me.

He knew he shouldn't compare her to Abigail, but he just couldn't help it. And then he realized that he too needed someone to be concerned about him. He too needed someone to help him. Even though it was something as simple as helping him cook, it was enough to make him excited.
