Cheriseâs eyes sparkled with excitement as she thought about this.
Damien had helped her take care of everything for so long. Despite his busy schedule, he always found time to solve her problems. Now, she had finally discovered the perfect way to repay him. Besides, as his wife, it only made sense that she was his trusted assistant.
âYouâre going to be Damienâs assistant?â Sebastianâs voice rose a few notches. âBut youâre an excellent doctor. Isnât being Damienâs assistant a waste of your talent? Moreover, you are a medical expert. Being Damienâs assistant means starting from scratch. Are you truly willing?â
Sebastian had reasons from both logical and emotional standpoints for not wanting Cherise to become Damienâs assistant.
Firstly, if Cherise stayed by Damienâs side daily, it would significantly reduce his chances of pursuing her.
Secondly, Sebastian knew her temperament well. If she immersed herself in the business world for too long, she might grow to Whether in her work or personal life, he always went but of his way to help her, no matter the challenges she faced. On the other hand, it seemed she had never been able to help him in return.
Taking a deep breath, Cherise tightened the strap of her sling bag and slung it over her shoulders. Now that she had a chance to talk to Sebastian, she would do her best to assist Damien as much as possible.
âYou were a plain nerd in middle school. I never imagined you would grow to become so beautiful and mature.â
They met in a luxurious restaurant in Adania. Sebastian sipped coffee while looking at the woman before him with admiration.
âYouâve changed so much. Itâs impressive.â
Cherise smiled and was a little embarrassed. âYouâre also impressive. The chubby desk mate from our middle school days has turned into such a handsome and capable person.â
She sipped some coffee before smiling at him. âI was so shocked when my husband told me you were his competitor.â
âShocked?â Sebastian chuckled as he looked at her. âYou didnât think Iâd still be as clueless as I was back then, did you?â
âNo, not at all.â Cherise quickly shook her head, smiling at Sebastian. âI was just genuinely amazed.â
âDid you hate me when you learned I was your husbandâs rival?â
