Chapter 714 Lucyâs New Job Cherise coughed and sipped her coffee lightly. âIn any case, I donât want him to realize how deeply I care for him before we officially tie the knot again.â
âI understand.â Lucy sighed. Iâve kept numerous secrets for you. One more wonât make much of a difference.â The woman picked up her coffee and took a delicate sip. âHowâs the new job?â
Cherise beamed. âItâs pretty good. No one at the institute is concerned about my troubled past, and everyone is amicable and supportive. Iâve worked for less than a day, but itâs been a positive experience.â
âThatâs reassuring.â Lucy nodded. âGiven your gentle nature, I was concerned you might be taken advantage of.â
âYouâre overthinking!â Cherise chuckled as she picked up the coffee pot and refilled her and Lucyâs cups. âWhat 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?â
âForget it!â Lucy promptly waved her hand. âI canât endure the monotony of sitting in an office all day at the institute.â She settled into a comfortable position in her seat. âDonât worry about me. An old friend.

âYouâre so vain.â Cherise rolled her eyes at Lucy. But what if heâs an elderly man captivated by your beauty? What will you do?â
âNothing. He canât hurt me. I can tolerate him looking at me.â Lucy said as she settled into a comfortable. position in her chair. âBesides, Iâve already signed the contract. Even if heâs an old grump, I must care for him for a year.â

âShe signed a one-year agreement with a wealthy man she hasnât met. Iâm afraid he might be someone with malicious intentâ¦â
There was a prolonged silence on the other end of the phone. After a while, Damienâs deep voice rang.
