Chapter 753 Repeat Those Words Again

Mr. Whitlock looked at Cherise earnestly. “Cherise, you frequently dine at New World Restaurant with Mr. Lenoir, right? How much does a meal usually cost?”

Cherise chuckled awkwardly, momentarily unsure of how to respond. It was because she was never the one to foot the bill.

Later, having finally escaped Mr. Whitlock, Cherise immediately called Damien when she left the office. “You planned to treat all my colleagues to a meal behind my back?”

“I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I planned to inform you last.” Damien chuckled softly on the phone. “I remember you mentioned that your colleagues dislike you because I made such a grand gesture during the proposal.”

Damien’s voice was deep and tender. “So, I consulted the female employees in my company. They all agreed that people feel obliged to be nice to the people they receive gifts from. As long as I keep your colleagues well-fed and well-gifted, they won’t give you a hard time.”

Cherise gripped her phone and felt inexplicably warmed.

She had long grown accustomed to how her colleagues perceived and gossiped about her. After all, people had regarded her with peculiar gazes during her three years in Lermille Hospital.

However, she never expected Damien, who was always busy with work, to go out of his way to seek advice from others because of a complaint she had once mentioned to him.

Moreover, he went to great lengths to shower everyone with gifts and treat them to meals, all to ensure that her colleagues treat her better in the future.

His thoughtfulness touched her. “Damien, thank you.”

Damien responded affectionately. Take those words back. We are husband and wife. Those two words. should never be uttered between us.”

“Okay” Cherise leaned against a window along the corridor and gazed at the sky. Her lips curved into a smile. “I love you.”

Since he refused to accept ‘thank you,’ she said ‘I love you’ instead.

There was a moment of silence on the other end. Then, Damien ordered sternly. “Meeting adjourned!”

Cherise was rendered speechless. Her eyes widened with embarrassment and horror..

Did he answer my call in a meeting?

She desperately wished she could find a hole to crawl into.

Cherise imagined a room full of staff silently observing Damien as he chatted with her.

Then, sounds of rustling footsteps echoed from the other end. Judging from them, there must have been twenty to thirty people in the meeting room. The realization prompted her cheeks to burn.

After a long pause, Cherise heard someone closing the door.

Then, Damien’s deep voice sounded again. “Cherry, what did you say?”

Cherise pursed her lips. “Damien, did you answer my call in a meeting?”

“Yes” Damien seemed unconcerned. “I was in a meeting just now. To avoid missing your call, I asked them to pause the meeting.”

He sounded a bit regretful. “If I had known you would confess, I would have adjourned the meeting as soon as you called.”

Cherise was astounded. “You can hang up my call if you’re in a meeting next time. I don’t have anything urgent.”

“Work is not as important as you.” Damien reclined in his armchair and tapped his fingers on the table. “Now, repeat what you said before.”

Cherise remained silent.

No! I’m not saying it! This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

She rolled her eyes. “I don’t have anything else to say. Since we’re going to New World Restaurant for dinner tonight, remember to pick me up from the research institute.”
