âHow else would you be so experienced?â Yolanda retorted.
Over a decade had passed since their last encounter, and it seemed Cherise had developed a keen edge to her tongue!
Yolanda gritted her teeth, determined not to succumb to the fatso in front of her.
Heather pouted, âIâll give in. I may not have been in a relationship yet, but I have dignity. 1 would never get too close to a married man!â
âDonât assume everyone is like you!â
Yolanda was confused, âHuh?â
She widened her eyes and looked at Heather, âYou said you havenât been in a relationship yet? Then what about you and Damienâ¦
âI have nothing to do with him!â
Heather shrugged and pointed behind Yolanda âBoth of them have returned to their families, and here you are foolishly thinking Iâm Cherise?â
âPlease, if I were Cherise, it wouldnât be as simple as just scolding you. I would also beat you up until you remember to stay away from other peopleâs husbands!â
Filled with anger, Yolanda turned around and realized Damien was gone.
She was stunned for a while before finally realizing it.
So that was the real Cherise!?
âWhy are you so careless?â
Damien furrowed his brows as he gently laid Cherise on the carâs back seat, holding her red ankle and reproaching her.
Cherise smiled awkwardly and explained, âWhen I was helping Heather just now, I suddenly remembered that I missed your call earlier. I wanted to call you back with my phone, but I got distracted and sprained my ankle She looked at him cautiously and asked, âAm I quite useless?
âYes, you are very useless,â the man replied.
Lowering his head, he carefully massaged her ankle and continued, âIf you canât even protect yourself, what are you supposed to do when Iâm not around?â
Cherise pursed her lips and spoke softly, âThen I wonât leave you everâ¦â
Damienâs hand, holding Cheriseâs ankle, paused for a moment.
The next moment, he shook his head helplessly and smiled, âWhen did you become so skilled at pleasing people?â
âJust now,â she replied.
Innocently looking at Damien with her black grapeâlike eyes, she said, âI think what Ms. Weiss said makes sense.â
*I shouldnât have left without even saying hello after you came to pick me up.â
âYou like me now, so itâs okay to stand you up. But if you stop liking me, Iâll be in trouble!â
Damien fell into silence.
He tightened his grip on Cheriseâs ankle, and she winced in pain.
âOuchâ¦â
âThis is a warning,â
The man sighed lightly, âYouâre not allowed to speak like that in the future.â
Cherise pouted, âWhat am I not allowed to say?â
âI wonât stop liking you, so these words are meaningless.â
Damienâs deep and attractive voice made these words sound effortless as if such sentiments were an undeniable truth.
Cherise compressed her lips./âBut considering what Yolanda mentionedâ¦â
âWhatever insinuations she made, the individual she alluded to is undoubtedly not me.â
âThen why did you have dinner with her?â
Cherise finally cut to the chase, her lips firmly pressed together. âWe harbor no affinity for each other.â
For the moment, she opted not to entangle Damien in Yolandaâs accusation of plagiarism.
Damien had assumed control of the entire Sunilâimes due to this paper.
Currently engrossed in the affairs of the Lenoir Group, Cherise preferred not to burden him further.
âI didnât want to have dinner with her.â
