Chapter 848 If She’s Willing
A moment later, a deep. gentle voice answered the call. “What’s the matter?”
“What are you doing?” Cherise asked.
I’m having dinner with a business partner.”
Cherise raised her eyebrows. “Who’s your business partner?”
“Someone I have dealings with regarding shares.”
Damien answered honestly, without any hint of hiding. “I want to buy back Lenoir Group shares from this person, so we are having a meal together.”
His deep, magnetic voice sounded amused as he continued, “Why? Have you suddenly decided to check on me, Mrs. Lenoir?”
After saying that, his voice lowered a few notches. “Is it because I didn’t satisfy you enough last night and this morning? Don’t worry. I have plenty more in me. We’ll continue tonight.
Cherise’s hand trembled violently as she gripped the phone. She almost threw it to the floor. If it weren’t for Mr. Zeller and Mr. Whitlock’s presence, she would have cursed Damien as an old lecher.
Instead, she took a deep breath and pursed her lips. “So, is your client male or female?”
“Female.” Damien’s response was straightforward. “Not as beautiful as you, nor as gentle.”
“In that case, don’t negotiate.” Cherise took a deep breath. “I’m at Mr. Whitlock’s office in the institute. Come and pick me up now. Also, bring your female client with you.”
Damien was briefly silent but did not hesitate. “If she’s willing.”
Then, he laughed, saying, “She and I are neither relatives nor friends. I can’t ask her to accompany me to pick up my wife the first time we meet, can I?”
Cherise pursed her lips. “She will be willing.” With that, Cherise immediately hung up the call.
After putting her phone away, Cherise looked up and met Mr. Zeller’s gaze. As their eyes met, Mr. Zeller chuckled, saying, “Cherise, your call just now was quite enlightening. I’m starting to get curious about your husband. What kind of person is he?”
Cherise smiled at him. “You’ll see him soon enough.”
After saying that, she couldn’t be bothered to continue conversing with the two. Instead, she closed her eyes and reclined against the sofa, pretending to take a nap.
Mr. Whitlock was stunned. He guessed Damien was the person Cherise had called just now. Furthermore, he heard her asking him about his female client.
Does this mean Yolanda is only a female client to Damien?
But… When Mr. Zeller came to see me, he said Yolanda was Damien’s new love interest! If he hadn’t said that, I wouldn’t have dared to treat Cherise like I did.
Seeing how calm and fearless Cherise was forced him to think of the worst.
He knew if there were no issues between Damien and Cherise, Damien would suppress the plagiarism incident again. Then, would he still get the payment Yolanda promised?
Mr. Whitlock appeared calm, but internally, he was as anxious as ants on a hot pan. He worried about his future if he failed to get Yolanda’s payment and offended Damien and Cherise.
As Mr. Whitlock pondered what to do, someone knocked on the office door and opened it.
It was Heather. She carefully brought a cup of tea and placed it on the desk behind Mr. Whitlock. “Mr. Whitlock, please have some tea.”
Her timid voice made Cherise frown slightly.
