Chapter 45: A Month
Jamal, who was now sitting by the lobby outside Genevieve’s office, was engrossed in his phone, scrolling through the mute girl’s social media page.
He laughed at some of the memes and funny videos she reposted. And after hesitating for a moment he sent her a direct message.
[Hey, it’s Jamal. Are you home now?]
He raised his head when he heard Genevieve’s footsteps and then he slipped his phone into his pocket and quickly stood up when he saw them approaching.
"I need you to drop my friend off at his hotel. After that, return here and wait for me so you can drive me home. That way I can also show you where you’ll be staying," Genevieve said as they stopped in front of him.
Jamal nodded. "Understood, ma’am."
"Oh, and for the duration of his stay, you’ll be driving him around. So maybe you should give him your contact so that he can reach you when he needs your service. And I’ll be needing your number too. My assistant who employed you is no longer here," she said, and Jamal nodded and he pulled out his phone to swap numbers with her.
After they were done, she handed him her car key, "Give it to the valet at the entrance door and he will bring the car to you."
"Yes, ma’am." Jamal gave her a nod before glancing at Stefan, who looked mildly amused, "I’ll be waiting outside, sir."
Just as he turned to leave, Genevieve’s voice stopped him. "Wait," she said. "What’s your name again?"
Jamal turned back to her, his expression unreadable. "Pete," he answered smoothly and Stefan raised a brow, wondering when he had come up with that.
