All Chapters of The Undercover CEO: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Looking Genevieve dead in the eyes, Noah could not tell if she knew exactly what she was saying or if it was a guess, so he tried to look casual and asked, “What are you talking about?”“Before you, it was just Leo and me, fighting against the darkness that clouded our life, and then you met us on that fateful day, and slowly things in our lives started to shift for the better.” Genevieve began, and her eyes started to sparkle as she continued, “I am not complaining. It's just you are one of the best things that ever happened to us.”Secondguessing if he should come clean to her right then and there, Noah mumbled, “I-”“I know it's not literally you doing all of this. But I believe you are behind changes because you are Leo and lucky charm, and you are the antidote to my curse...” Genevieve questioned, biting her lip. “I sound stupid... Don't I? This is real life. Not some fairytale where a charming prince breaks the sleeping princess's curse with a kiss.”Smiling down at Genevieve wi

The dinner table was silent, and Genevieve kept staring over at Noah, but his eyes were glued to his food, and the fact that he had been quiet since they got back from the restaurant had her feeling a bit suffocated and anxious. She wasn't the only one who felt the awkward tension... Leo did, and he stared between the two of them for a few minutes before he finally cleared his throat and said in a tone more polite, “I am sorry. I promise not to leave Miss Lewis's side again. I promise.” Snapping out of his thoughts, Noah threw Leo a calm look and asked, “What are you talking about, bud?” “Well, he disobeyed the teacher again and left her side to come over to me when I went to get him,” Genevieve mumbled, seeing Leo pout as he stared at his plate. Trying not to smile and look serious, Noah gazed at him and said, “Bud?” “Are you mad at me?” Leo mumbled, looking down at his lap, where he held his hands together. “Mad is a strong word, buddy. But it would be best if you obeyed you

Resting back in the front seat of the car, Genevieve kept her eyes on the window, watching the street pass by as her mind drifted through the thoughts of how her meeting was going to go with Director James. For a moment, Rhodes stared at the side mirror, growing concerned by the second that the car didn't only follow them when they were dropping Leo to school, but it was now driving after them every turn he made. “Father,” Genevieve mumbled, grabbing his attention from the mirror again, “About Jack...” Withdrawing from the window, Genevieve stared at him and asked, “Do you know where he went?” “He didn't tell you?” Rhodes asked. His tone was laced with surprise. He glanced out of the corner of his eye toward her as she shook her head. “I didn't want to push him this morning, but I guess I am more curious than I thought I was.” “Well, umm, he's still in search of a job. I think he feels guilty living off my pension funds.” A sad smile tugged at Genevieve’s lips as she looked dow

“Glenn was the one who's supposed to play Jane?” Genevieve repeated in disbelief, feeling a little suffocated. Looking over at James, Noah scowled at him and asked, “Why didn't you tell her who the actress was that was ineffective for the role?” “I did mention it to you... Didn't I?” James mumbled as he cocked his head to the side, feigning innocence as his smug grin remained firmly planted. “You did not! If you did, I wouldn't have accepted the job,” Genevieve gritted out, anger burning in her chest, before turning away to avoid eye contact. Staring at her with furrowed brows, Director Rheyns thought about it for a while and then said, “But why? Is there an issue between Glenn and you?” Not wanting to explain the complicated relationship she and her cousin had, Genevieve, sighed out her frustration and mumbled, “No. There isn't.” “Well, whatever it is, I am glad you agreed to the callback because you are Jane. You are what we envisioned her to be. The emotions are raw, the conn

Everyone was waiting in anticipation, ready for Genevieve’s reaction, and she stated calmly, “Since you all seem pretty eager to know, I will say this once and only once.” The reporters grew quiet, their cameras trained on her, waiting for her response. She glanced at the camera one more time, her eyes burning as she stared, then she took a deep breath. “I stole nothing from her. The callback took place and I did what I was told to do. About Glenn falling, it was an accident. That's all.” Genevieve finished coldly. “So are the rumors of you begging Director James to be the one sent for the callback after injuring Glenn is not true?” “I have spoken my truth. If you wish to continue spreading the lies, then so be it. But please leave me alone.” With that, Genevieve turned away from the group, approaching Noah, and he opened the back door for her, watching her enter. “I believe the rumors. She was way too defensive and cold towards us.” One reporter said. “Well, it's obvious. S
