Chapter 714 Lucy’s New Job Cherise coughed and sipped her coffee lightly. “In any case, I don’t want him to realize how deeply I care for him before we officially tie the knot again.”

“I understand.” Lucy sighed. I’ve kept numerous secrets for you. One more won’t make much of a difference.” The woman picked up her coffee and took a delicate sip. “How’s the new job?”

Cherise beamed. “It’s pretty good. No one at the institute is concerned about my troubled past, and everyone is amicable and supportive. I’ve worked for less than a day, but it’s been a positive experience.”

“That’s reassuring.” Lucy nodded. “Given your gentle nature, I was concerned you might be taken advantage of.”

“You’re overthinking!” Cherise chuckled as she picked up the coffee pot and refilled her and Lucy’s cups. “What about you? What kind of a job are you considering after returning to Adania? Should I inquire if the director has an opening for you?”

recommended me for a job as a private physician.

Lucy felt somewhat pleased when she mentioned her new job. “My friend said he’s a wealthy bachelor with no severe illnesses. He just started smoking and drinking a few years ago as he worked late nights. Although the company is performing well, his health has deteriorated.”

“She signed a one-year agreement with a wealthy man she hasn’t met. I’m afraid he might be someone with malicious intent…”

There was a prolonged silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Damien’s deep voice rang.
