Chapter 103
Genevieve left the rest to the bodyguards for whatever she had already arranged in advance.
She visited for a short night but returned home immediately.
The next evening, Sullivan and Anthony silently exchanged glances in the chairman’s office of Eagle Entertainment.
Even with his wrist still swollen, Anthony came to the company with the signed contract and asked for additional investment to become the sole investor of Eagle Entertainment.
However, Sullivan was not happy about such tremendous good news.
He looked at Anthony with a smile and asked, “Mr. Hoffman, what condition do you require?”
With a deep gaze, Anthony replied indifferently, “I want Genevieve to come here and sign the contract in person.”
Sullivan’s mouth twitched, and he could not help but ask again, “As far as I know, both of you divorced because you no longer have feelings for each other. Isn’t it inappropriate to meet all the time?”
Anthony bobbed his Adam’s apple and replied, “It’s just for business matters. We’ve nothing to avoid for meeting each other.” RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Sullivan pursed his lips and said with a chuckle, “I’ll give her a call then. She’s not in the company right now.”
He could not refuse the reasons and conditions Anthony provided.
After all, he knew Anthony also owned some of Eagle Entertainment’s shares, and the latter was also planning to invest in a new drama under the name of Hoffman Group.
Sullivan wondered what would other people in the industry think aboutir relationship if he rejected Anthony.
Now that he was stuck in a difficult position, he had no choice but to bite the bullet..
Sullivan immediately gave Genevieve a call.
After a long time of waiting, Genevieve finally picked up the call lazily.
She asked, “Mr. Shelton, it’s almost time to go off work now. Do you still have any more instructions. for me?”
Sullivan said, “Well, you said ‘almost. Where are you now?”
Genevieve paused and answered with a smile, “I’m shopping in the mall now. I always feel like I
don’t have enough clothes and jewelry to wear. I’m going to have some barbecue with Louis later. Anything else you need me for?”
When Anthony heard the reply on the phone, his face darkened instantly.
Somehow, Sullivan felt as if the temperature in the office had dropped sharply.
He paused and glanced at Anthony, who was showing a grim expression. He then said to Genevieve, “Mr. Hoffman is here to discuss the contract signing. Since you are responsible for the
cooperation, we need your signature.”
Genevieve scoffed and immediately refused, “I’m not coming. I need to cat.”
Sullivan said. “The client came with the promise of money, and we can’t refuse it. Ms. Lawrence, we’ll wait for you in the company. We won’t leave unless you come!”
Sullivan hung up the call after stating that and felt a little nervous.
He knew that Genevieve was not someone who would act on emotions…
Anthony looked serious and took a sip of his coffee nonchalantly. He then asked lightly, “Does Eagle Entertainment have any cooperation with Louis recently?”

Sullivan also took a sip of his coffee and said unhurriedly, “We do. Quite a few too. Genevieve is so talented, having a lot of men pursuing her. Louis is just one of them. Who knows if he cooperated with Eagle Entertainment to get close to Genevieve?”
Anthony’s green eyes were filled with cold emotions. He took a deep breath and frowned.
He thought he was right about the “substitute” having ulterior motives and needed to be gotten rid
1. of.
After waiting for more than two hours in the office, they finally saw Genevieve arrive.
Sullivan had been feeling hungry during the two–hour wait and already It uncomfortable, even feeling worse for sitting next to Anthony.
When Genevieve knocked on the door and entered the office, Sullivan felt like he saw his savior.
Ms. Lawrence, you’re finally here. Oh? Why do you smell like barbecue? You ate dinner?” Sullivan asked in surprise.
Genevieve smiled with her eyebrows raised, thinking that Sullivan was asking an obvious question.
She answered, “Of course. I can’t return to work hungry, right? But considering that you’re still waiting for me here, I came here without a change of clothes. Would you mind the smell on me?”
She had done everything she needed to do and did not want to get involved too much with Anthony anymore.
After a pause, Sullivan said, “I wouldn’t mind.”
He thought, ‘What can I even do if I mind?‘
Anthony looked at Genevieve silently, feeling more and more upset.
He had waited in the office for two hours and knew Genevieve must have gone to have dinner with Louis while he was waiting.
Anthony felt somewhat furious.
However, when he thought of the grievance Genevieve had suffered that afternoon, he thought it was nothing to wait for two hours compared to her situation.
Anthony assumed Genevieve must have felt upset, which made him even more distressed for her.
The anger that had been forming in his mind also dispersed gradually.
He guessed Genevieve must have loved him so much that she went shopping to clear her head after arguing with Quincey.
Anthony knew Genevieve was just pretending to be tough.
Otherwise, she would not have come here without a change of clothes.
However, to Anthony, the most hateful existence was Louis, whom he assumed was not a good guy and wanted to take advantage of Genevieve.
With that thought, he stood up gently and looked at Genevieve. He then said, “We wouldn’t mind, of course. I’m glad you enjoyed your meal.”
He swore he must have a barbecue with her next time.
Sullivan looked at Anthony in surprise.
He thought confusedly, “This man was just looking intimidating not long ago, behaving like he wanted to kill someone. Why did his mood change so quickly? I think It’s better for Genevieve to stay away from such a fickle man.‘
Sullivan let out a cough and instantly reverted his intention of leaving early.
He then urged Genevieve, “Quick, the contract is right here. The lawyer already read through the contents. Ms. Lawrence, please go ahead and sign it!”
Genevieve glanced at Anthony and walked closer to them indifferently. She then took a look at the document. There was indeed not much change in the contents, but the amount of money had
doubled.
She did not know what Anthony was up to, but she would not refuse to accept such a business.
Fri, 19 Aprs
Genevieve lowered her head and signed the contract. She placed the pen aside casually afterward.
She said, “It’s done. Mr. Shelton, I’ll take my leave now if there’s nothing else.”
Sullivan nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand.
He said, “Fer! free to leave.”
Anthony’s face turned icy instead, and he took the opportunity to interrupt, “Why don’t we go out for a midnight snack as a celebration?”
With a frown on her face, Genevieve replied, “I just had dinner. I don’t have appetite now.”
Sullivan nodded and said, “That’s right. Mr. Hoffman, I haven’t eaten yet, so let me accompany you.”
Anthony narrowed his eyes. He immediately changed his words as he replied, “Why don’t we go for a movie then?”
Genevieve glanced at Anthony indifferently and replied in a flat voice, “No, I’m not interested.”
Sullivan interrupted immediately, “Mr. Hoffman, allow me to go with you. I like movies!”
Genevieve clapped her hands with a smile and said, “That’s wonderful! I wish you two a nice evening.”
With that, she turned around and left, thinking that it was none of her business to stay anymore.
Anthony glanced at Sullivan with a complicated expression.
He hesitated to speak up but finally declined Sullivan politely as he said, “Let’s drop it. I still have something urgent to deal with, so I’m leaving now.”
Sullivan chased after Anthony with doubt and said, “Mr. Hoffman, you’re leaving now? Or we can go to a concert together!”
When Anthony heard the invitation, he quickened hist pace.
When Genevieve got in her car and tried to start the engine, Anthony immediately opened the passenger door.
Genevieve was stunned for a moment at the action.
Anthony was also stunned when he saw the things scattered on the passenger seat.
He said with annoyance, “Can’t you clean up the stuff? How can anyone sit here?”
All the clothes and handbags Genevieve bought for Selene before were placed on the passenger seat, and she had yet to deliver them to her best friend.
Genevieve felt speechless. She replied with a sneer, “I’m not even intending for anyone to sit here. Stop being demanding.”
She thought, ‘What does it have to do with him whether I tidy up my stuff or not?”
