Chapter 881 I’m Not That Petty
Their assumptions turned out to be false.
Was Damien scolding Candace just now? When he realized his wife was outside, he rushed out of his office to embrace her. Seeing such affection and closeness, anyone could tell that Candance had no chance to get between them.
The women looked at Cadance standing stiffly in the office with pity before leaving,
Candance remained frozen in the same position even as Damien entered his office with an arm around Cherise. Her cheeks were scorching hot, as if they were burning.
Just a few minutes ago, she shamelessly declared that if she got together with Damien, she would buy gifts for everyone. But after observing how Damien behaved with Cherise, Candace realized the issue was never Damien’s abstinence. Instead, he was never interested in the company’s female employees.
Usually, he would not even look at the female employees except for work-related matters. Otherwise, she would not have assumed that Damien had transferred her to his office to assist him because he was interested in her.
“Why are you still here?” Damien glanced at Candace after bringing Cherise into the office. He furrowed his brow slightly. “Is there something else?”
Candace looked down and quickly shook it. “No, nothing.”
“If there’s nothing, then leave. I want to eat.” After saying that, Damien eagerly sat down and opened the lunchbox Cherise brought. It contained a poke bowl, small and delicate pierogi, and his favorite crab cakes. A smile crept onto Damien’s lips once again.
Watching Damien and Cherise before her, Candace forcefully pressed her nails into her palm.
So, this is what Mr. Lenoir looks like when he’s in love. This is how he behaves when facing the woman he loves. It’s my first time seeing it…
She took a deep breath and knew she would only humiliate herself if she kept on standing there.
“Wait.” Cherise called out with a frown as Candace turned around to leave.
Candace’s heart sank, and her face instantly turned pale. What she dreaded finally happened. Cherise probably wanted to punish her for her arrogance.
She pursed her lips and glanced at Cherise, “Yes, Mrs. Lenoir…”
Initially, Cherise wanted to ask Candace if she had eaten dinner, but Candace looked so fearful and timid when she turned around that Cherise could not help but smile.
Cherise was now twenty-five years old and a mother of two. She had an unwavering belief in Damien’s feelings for her. Thus, when she first heard people praising Candace, saying she had a chance with Damien, she only observed out of curiosity.
Seeing the young woman looking at her with a frightened expression, Cherise shook her head in pity, saying, “You haven’t eaten, right? Do you want to cat together? I brought a lot.”
Cherise recalled Candace had encountered those gossiping women right after she exited Damien’s office. Since Damien had not caten dinner, Candace, his subordinate, definitely had not eaten either.
Candace’s eyes instantly widened in astonishment. She looked at Cherise in disbelief and pointed to herself. Her voice faltered. “Mrs… Mrs. Lenoir, are you talking to me?”
“Who else? Is there a fourth person here?” Cherise was amused to see the young woman’s shocked expression. “Don’t worry, I’m not that petty. He is my husband. Do you think I don’t know what kind of person he is?”
Candace was stunned. After a moment, she pursed her lips and solemnly apologized to Cherise. “I’m sorry.”
