Chapter 43: Embarrassed
Genevieve sat on the plush leather chair behind her massive desk, her hands clasped together as she studied Stefan with a wide, almost dreamy smile.
She was still struggling to believe this moment was real.
Jamal Jonas was here. He was right here in her office.
When she reached out following her father’s request she had not expected him to respond positively.
It had been twenty years already and she expected him to have moved on and forgotten all about Dawn, yet just one text from her and here he was.
In the past couple of days she had tried to find as much articles and news on him so she could learn all she could about him and she had found out just how wealthy and successful he was.
She had also found out he was single and not in any romantic relationship at the moment. Seeing how handsome he looked, she was happy to know that he could be hers if she played her cards right.
Although she had never met him before but the moment she laid eyes on him earlier, something had clicked. A sense of familiarity, a pull she couldn’t quite explain. It was as though she knew him.
As she watched him, Stefan in turn watched her, wondering what she was thinking, but most of all he wondered why Jamal had pulled such a stunt and what Jamal planned to do next.
"I’m so happy to see you, Jamal," she blurted out suddenly, unable to keep her excitement in.
Stefan chuckled softly, leaning back against the chair opposite her. "I’m surprised you suddenly remembered me after all these years. What happened?"
