Chapter 80: Role Play
After leaving the mall, Stefan suggested they go to a restaurant with a nice ambiance where they could just sit and talk over wine.
Although Genevieve wasn’t very keen on talking since she wasn’t sure about the kind of questions he might ask and how much he would want to know about her, she agreed.
As Stefan drove them to the restaurant, following Genevieve’s direction, he thought about his conversation with Jamal.
And he couldn’t help but remember first conversation with Genevieve in her office the previous day and the glimpse of vulnerability he had seen when she had spoken about trying to get her father’s attention.
Was she pretending to be Dawn because her father made her to?
That had to be it since there was no way she could have just taken over Dawn’s identity without the influence of an adult.
And she seemed to have a case of low self esteem too. He wasn’t so sure she liked being Dawn that much.
Or perhaps she liked the benefits but not the work or expectations that came with it, he reasoned.
"What are you thinking about?" Genevieve asked when he had been silent for a while.
"You," he said easily.
"Oh!" She exclaimed softly, her cheeks growing warm.
