Dad is right.
Damien always prioritizes her Despite the challenges in his company, he still manages to consider all the possibilities for her.
Despite Damienâs business troubles, Cherise recognized that her support could extend beyond solving his professional challenges. While she couldnât directly assist with his business issues, she could provide comfort and care in other ways, such as cooking and staying by his side.
At the fresh supermarket, Cherise meticulously selected Damienâs favorite foods, including the fish he enjoys and the vegetables he prefers. Additionally, she picked up ingredients for pierogis, She remembered that he loved her pierogis the most.
As Cherise exited the supermarket with her arms full of groceries, she unexpectedly encountered Sebastian entering the store.
âWhat a coincidence,â
Sebastian remarked as he noticed the assortment of ingredients in Cheriseâs hands. âIt is the right time for a celebration.â
Cherise offered a polite smile in return. âAre you also here to do some grocery shopping?â
Sebastian nodded lightly, returning the smile. âCanât I?â
âItâs not that you canât.â
Cherise, with a hint of surprise in her expression. âI must admit, itâs unexpected to see someone of your status shopping for groceries personally.â
âOf course I do,â
Sebastian replied with a smile. âCooking is my hobby.â
He continued, âPlus, recently, a certain woman in our family has been deceived by her friend and feels miserable. So, as her younger brother, I can only personally make her some delicious food to comfort her.â
Sebastian then lowered his gaze, his expression serious as he addressed Cherise. âI havenât sincerely apologized to you yet.â
âI asked my sister about it, and her friend named Gwenn asked herâ¦â
Cherise interrupted, âI know.â
âEver since my thesis was stolen, I knew this day would come. It doesnât matter if itâs your sister or someone else. It doesnât affect our friendship as classmates or the business relationship between you and my husband.â
As she spoke, Cherise maintained a sweet smile on her lips as she looked at Sebastian. âBut you should indeed comfort Ms. Yolanda properly. After all, being deceived by a friend. feels quite uncomfortable.â
Sebastian stood still, his shock evident as he looked at the transformed woman before him.
She was graceful, calm, and far from the naive girl he remembered from their high school days at Shawbury High.
After a moment, he managed to smile. âHow about having a meal together when we have time?â
Cherise nodded in agreement. âSure.â
Suddenly remembering something, she looked up at Sebastian. âCan I bring my family?â
Sebastianâs body stiffened slightly at the request.
âWhen we catch up, thereâs no need to bring your husband, right?â
Cheriseâs grip on the vegetable bag tightened as she subtly adjusted her approach.
She had her motives for this meeting.
Despite being no longer employed at the Lenoir Group, Cherise knows Lennon is actively seeking opportunities to facilitate Damienâs contact with Sebastian.
If they could sit down and have a calm conversation, it might help resolve the crisis at the Lenoir Group.
So, she wants to help Damien.
She recognized Sebastianâs reluctance to cooperate.
In that case, they can only find another way.
Considering the situation, Cherise suggests to Sebastian, âAlright, then, letâs not bring our families.
âLetâs make another appointment when we have time, and itâs getting late. Iâll leave first.â
With a smile and a wave, she bids farewell to Sebastian and heads home.
