Marrying the Man in the Dark
Chapter 899 Does The Young Man Know Me? The young man entered the room, his anxiety palpable as he placed the documents on the desk before Damien.
He was eloquent about his visit, âGood morning, Mr. Lenoir. The manager hopes you can approve this document soon. Itâs about our department's sales performance this quarter.â Damien's response was curt, âSure. You may leave now.â The young man breathed a sigh of relief, turned on his heel, and was about to exit when he saw Cherise nestled in the office corner.
Their gazes locked, confusion etched on Cheriseâs face, while shock rippled across the young manâs features.
He hesitated, words dangling on the tip of his tongue, before he averted his gaze and hastily departed.
Cherise furrowed. She couldnât shake the feeling that the young manâs glance held a hint of recognition.
Yet, she wracked her brain but couldn't recall crossing paths with anyone from Damienâs company before.
âLetâs get going,â Damien's deep voice jolted Cherise back to reality.
She blinked, befuddled. âGo where?â A faint smile ghosted across Damien's lips. âFeeling hungry, Mrs. Lenoir? Itâs already half past eleven.

But the morning had slipped by with little productivity.

I can walk on my own!â Damien's gaze carried a glint of amusement. âThen what are we waiting for? Let's go.â Cherise pursed her lips and briskly exited the office, her determined steps echoing in the corridor. With a faint smile. Damien caught up with her as they both left the company building in tandem.

A promise of a âHealthy Poke Bowl.â Grinning, Damien caught wind of her choice.
âPoke Bowls it is, then?â He said while grabbing Cheriseâs hand as they strolled leisurely beneath the midday sun.
The sunlight accentuated Damien's chiseled features, adding an extra layer of allure to his hands face.
Hand in hand, the couple sauntered down the street, and Cherise couldn't help but revel in the overflowing happiness within.
Oddly, though, she noticed several people attempting to mimic their stroll. Not that these individuals could even be considered imitators.
Phones flashed, and cameras clicked, capturing their every moment.
Cherise leaned closer to Damien, her voice hushed, âWhy are so many people taking our picture?â Damien's lips curved into a smirk; Damien flashed her a grin, âGuess we're just too hot to handle, huh?â Cheriseâs eyes widened in disbelief.
They were followed by eager photographers from the office to the restaurant, making Cherise increasingly uncomfortable.
