Chapter 306 Genevieve took a sip of her coffee, feeling much better. “Mr. Boone, you don’t know anything about public relations. You should stay out of it!” “Does Riley know anything about it? Why can she be involved?” Simon said angrily, “I know that she used her connections to get recruited, and I know she has connections with you. But my success comes from my ability. “Doing this will eventually harm the company, and you will regret it when it’s too late.” Genevieve’s face darkened slightly. If Simon was as capable as he said, she wouldn’t cold–shoulder him. But it was his lack of ability that caused this to happen. How could he have the nerve to blame others? Genevieve pursed her lips in disgust, but she had to pretend to be polite. “Mr. Boone, your product department made a mistake, so you have no right to mention your ability here. Why don’t you go and find out who tampered with the perfume?” Simon’s expression changed slightly. He murmured. “It… It’s not easy to investigate. I need more time!” Genevieve’s eyes twitched. Suppressing her anger, she ordered, “Get out.” Seeing that Genevieve could not be deceived, Simon angrily walked out. The room was silent. Genevieve looked out of the window with her legs crossed. The air abroad was no better than at home. There was a lot of smog. 1/7 It would be dark soon. There was a feeling of moisture in the air. Genevieve had to spend most of her time at work because of the unexpected incident. Lucas’s call brought her senses back. She glanced at her phone, adjusted her mood, and picked it up. “Professor Simpson?” “Ms. Lawrence, do you have a minute? Can you come to Silver Valley Club?” The club was in a remote area. Genevieve frowned and was about to decline when Lucas said, “I saw a senior executive of Aroma Delights having dinner with someone else. I wonder if it has something to do with what happened today.” Genevieve was immediately alert. She said, “All right. I’ll be there soon.” She took her clothes and bags and left. Jasper didn’t ask too much and went with her. They arrived at the gate of the club. Irven was waiting outside. He was arguing with a woman who looked familiar. Genevieve hurried over. “Mr. Lester…” Irven was stunned, and the woman also turned around. 2/7 “Gent” “Selene?” Genevieve was surprised. “Why are you here?” she asked, Irven pursed his lips and said, “I was waiting for you. Then I saw Ms. Quinn sexually harassing someone. And I was kind enough to stop her.” Selene was furious. “Bullshit! I was caring about him!” She saw her ex–fiancé Aiden entering the club with another woman. She didn’t want to be outdone, so she flirted with a waiter. However, Irven stopped her before she could go any further. Then they started to argue. Selene was also speechless. Irven was a lewd man himself. Why should he ask others to act decently? Genevieve separated them, and Selene immediately hid behind her. “Mr. Lester, where is Professor Simpson?” Irven glanced at Selene with a provocative gaze and said lightly, “Come with me.” He went in. Genevieve pulled Selene to follow him. Selene followed Genevieve closely. She whispered, “Aiden is here to steal my business. Our businesses overlap, and I cannot let him succeed.” Genevieve pursed her lips. “Aiden is here?” 3/7 Chapter 306 She thought he was probably here for business. “Do you need help?” she asked. “I think he’s having a dinner party here. Come in with me and greet the clients to let them know I’m also in this business.” “Okay.” Genevieve didn’t care that Selene was using her identity to get resources, Friends are supposed to help each other. In addition, her friends would often reveal their goals when they needed her help so this action would not damage their friendship. Irven led Genevieve into a private room with a simple design. The private room was filled with smoke, and there were many people inside. Genevieve was stunned.. Irven turned his head and said in a low voice, “These are all the business giants. Lucas hosted this party to introduce them to you. The incident this time is a warning. In case others take advantage of this incident to make more trouble for you, it’s important to make friends with these influential people.” As soon as Genevieve came in, she knew Lucas’s intention. She had mixed feelings, but she knew for sure that she was moved and grateful to him.. It was difficult to set up a meeting with so many big shots. Obviously, Lucas had put in a lot of effort. Selene couldn’t help but say, “Professor Simpson did a great job. He is a doer rather than a talker. This is a timely help!” Compared with Anthony, who was going to take Genevieve home, Lucas was very thoughtful. Genevieve smiled and went in. 4/7 Chapter 306 Irven smiled and waved his hand. Lucas stood up and then greeted them. “Ms. Lawrence, let me introduce…” Genevieve gracefully greeted the influential people. No one present dared to underestimate her. Aroma Delights‘ capital was not small, and it was just an overseas subsidiary The Lawrence Group, the forces behind Aroma Delights, should not be underestimated. The people had been doing business for many years. They had developed the ability to distinguish those who possessed genuine capital from those who did not. The people finally realized that Genevieve was the one this party was for when they saw Lucas greet her. “Mr. Lawrence mentioned his younger sister many times. I used to ask him to introduce you to us, but he was reluctant to do so. Today, I finally know the reasons.” Everyone echoed and laughed. Lucas said to the people next to him with a smile, “Please open the window. There are ladies present. Stop smoking.” “Professor Simpson, aren’t you too sweet?” Everyone looked at them meaningfully, and they secretly understood something. Many of the men brought their female companions with them, but no one cared if these women minded them smoking before. Because they didn’t deserve the consideration. But Genevieve was different. No one dared to offend her. The person beside her opened the window to let in some fresh air. Others extinguished their cigarettes. The smoke in the room soon dissipated. 5/7 Lucas’s status was self-evident. Even though he was known as a professor, no one could afford to offend him. The crowd made Genevieve feel warm. They invited her to card games and other games. The other women present were also intelligent enough to know whom they should flatter. Despite being envious of Genevieve, they tried to lawn over her. Selene went to sing. Genevieve sat at the table and played poker. Lucas sat beside her, helping her from time to time. He had made it too obvious. Genevieve was ashamed. She leaned over and said in a low voice, “Stop it. I can win by myself!” Lucas paused. Then he whispered, “Okay, you have to win. I didn’t bring enough money!” Genevieve was speechless. She now understood why Lucas appeared determined to win and unwilling to leave without doing so. Soon, Genevieve won a few times. Lucas’s phone rang. He got up to answer the phone, letting Irven sit down and play.
