Chapter 284 You Mustn’t Go to Her House
“If you do not want to wake up Mrs. Lenoir, we can… provide you two with the most luxurious lounge.”
Damien smiled. He leaned down and gently carried Cherise. “Never mind, my wife is not that delicate.”
Then, he suddenly recalled something. “Where’s the person she drank with?”
“My boss took her away.”
The manager smiled. “I’ve never seen my boss holding a lady until today. He carried her like it was the most natural thing.”
Damien laughed. “He’s probably still unaware of how much that person means to him.”
“Rodney Savel”
That was why he was so frustrated by the news of Lucy having a boyfriend that he sought Blake for a brawl.
It was nearly noon the following morning when Cherise woke
Her phone was ringing.
She blearily grabbed the phone and said, “Hello?”
“Cherise, I’m Rodney Savel.”
The man on the phone sounded anxious. “Do you know where Lucy is?”
Cherise’s thoughts were hazy from a hangover. “Rodney Savel?”
Who?
“I’m from the neighboring class.”
The man explained patiently, “I invited Lucy out on a date, but she stood me up a few times.”
Cherise closed her eyes and considered for some time. She vaguely recalled someone of that description. Still…
“How did you get my number? Why are you looking for Lucy?”
“It’s about this.”
Rodney took a deep breath and continued, “Around three to four days ago, when you were on leave, Lucy approached me and asked me to be her boyfriend.”
“So, we are now dating.”
“We agreed to meet in the library today for a study date. I’ve been waiting for her for half an hour.”
Rodney sounded worried. “I called her a while ago, but a man answered. I thought he was her father, so I called him ‘Mr. Staber’ and introduced myself…”
“But the man became angry and hung up.”
“I tried to call her again, but her phone has been turned off.”
Rodney sighed and continued, “I was too rash. I only realized afterward that the man sounded.
young.
“He could be Lucy’s brother or cousin… but I didn’t realize it then.”
Then, he added dejectedly, “Cherise, I got your number from someone in your class.”
“Do you
know Lucy’s address? I wish to go there and apologize to her brother or cousin. I also want to pick up Lucy for our date.”
The series of shocking information jolted Cherise wide awake.
Cherise thought back to the dinner with Lucy last night. Lucy had indeed told her that she had a boyfriend.
However, Cherise did not expect Rodney to be that boyfriend.
Cherise remembered who Rodney was. His appearance was far from pleasant.
Did Lucy really… ask him to be her boyfriend?
Also, Lucy doesn’t have a brother!
She has a cousin, but he would never be with her. Since her mother passed away, her father has been estranged from all their relatives!
Cherise breathed in deeply. She may be confused by the situation, but she was not stupid.
Thus, she pursed her lip and said, “Please wait for a moment. I’ll call Mr. Staber to confirm with him.”
Rodney seemed impatient. “We can just go to her house. Why go through so much trouble?”
“We must call first.”
Cherise felt annoyed. “As Lucy’s boyfriend, you should know that you mustn’t simply go to her
house.”
