Chapter 883 I Can’t Handle Everything
Cherise pouted and pretended to be jealous. “When I arrived, the employees talked about you recently getting close to a beautiful young lady. Then, the young lady came out of your office, but you soon called her back.”
She continued, “So, I hid in the corner to confirm whether you prefer this beautiful young lady or me.”
Damien was amused by her behavior. His eyes crinkled in good humor as he looked at her. “Did you figure it out? Do I prefer you or the beautiful young lady?”
Cherise got out of his embrace and sat on a chair beside him. She pursed her lips and looked at him. “I figured it out. You prefer her.”
Damien arched his eyebrows slightly. “What made you come to that conclusion?”
“You see, she hasn’t had dinner tonight, and you immediately gave her a raise of two thousand to get something to eat,” Cherise answered.
Then, she breathed in before continuing, “As for me, I had to cook the food by myself. I even had to cook the food for you and send it to the company. It’s exhausting! So, of course, you prefer her… Mm……..”
Damien forcefully sealed Cherise’s lips with his before she could finish speaking. He kissed her fiercely, saying, “Is this what you think, Mrs. Lenoir?”
“Starting tomorrow, I will hand over my bank card to you, and you won’t have to do anything. You can order anything you desire from the menu every day. And whichever restaurant you wish to go to,
I’ll go with you. Are you satisfied with this arrangement?”
Cherise’s heart fluttered slightly as she looked into his earnest gaze.
“I don’t want your bank card. You have so much money. I might be in danger if people know I have it!”
“Don’t worry, I’ll assign Blake to protect you.”
Cherise was rendered speechless. She looked at his amused gaze and pursed her lips. “Okay, okay, stop joking around!”
Damien rarely joked with her, so she genuinely worried that he might give her the bank card and let her eat out every day.
In reality, she did not mean what she had said earlier. She disliked managing money or eating out. After all, nothing could beat home-cooked meals. The food outside seemed soulless in comparison.
“I wasn’t joking.” Damien smiled faintly at her, “Mr. Kolson says that the wife manages the money in ordinary households. Didn’t you always wish for a normal life? Hmm?”
Cherise replied, “Ordinary families don’t have that much money!”
After saying that, she pursed her lips and sat on the side. “But I did hear people saying you have an unusual relationship with Candance. That was why I peeked.”
Only then did Damien return to his armchair and continue eating. He asked casually, “How did they say my relationship with Candace was unusual?”
Cherise pouted again and repeated what those people had said.
“I only see her as an employee.” Damien continued eating without looking up. He explained, “Candace is new and doesn’t know many things. I was standing behind her and noticed her mistake, so I went over to guide her.”
“However, others twisted what they saw and turned it into a scandalous relationship. These people have too much time on their hands. They have time to gossip even though they work overtime at this hour.”
Cherise pursed her lips. Honestly, she had never doubted Damien. Still, she could not help but feel uncomfortable with Candace’s attitude and how others encouraged her to have an illicit relationship with Damien.
Seeing Cherise remaining silent, Damien added calmly, “I’ll transfer Candace back to her original position tomorrow.”
Cherise looked at him and pressed her lips together. “Are you able to handle all the work by yourself?”
“I can’t handle everything.”
