Chapter 107: Everyone Likes Pete
Although Genevieve wasn’t in the mood to talk to her father, she headed for his study when one of the housekeepers came to inform her that he wanted to see her.
She had been about to go into the bathroom to shower so she could get ready to leave for the hotel to see Jamal when the maid came to get her.
She knew he wanted to talk about her date with Jamal since she had not seen him when she returned the night before, so she had avoided his calls when he called earlier. Seeing how he had sent someone to get her, she could tell he was pretty determined to talk to her.
She took a deep breath before walking into the office, and the moment she saw him, she felt uneasy. She liked him less and less by the day.
"How did it go yesterday with Jamal? I didn’t expect you to come back home last night," he said before she was even seated.
Genevieve looked at him for a minute, wondering what sort of father he was. He hadn’t even bothered to ask how she was or if she slept well or anything. All he cared about was her date with Jamal.
"It went pretty well," she said as she took her seat opposite him and crossed both legs in front of her, adjusting her sleeping robe around her.
"Didn’t you try to seduce him? Did you fail?" He asked, and Genevieve winced when she remembered her failure, but it didn’t sting because she also remembered Jamal’s kindness and humor.
"Genny?" Ryan called, and she met his gaze, realizing she had not answered his question.
"I tried. It didn’t work," she admitted flatly.
"I guess you don’t know how to use your feminine wiles when it matters," he said, and she shrugged but said nothing. There was no need to.
