Chapter 891 Out of Service
Someone captured this scene with their phone and posted it online. Others were left speechless with shock.
Most employees exchanged glances, marveling at how intimate Damien and Cherise were. It disproved the rumors that Damien was interested in Candace.
Cherise lay in Damien’s arms, desperately wishing the ground would swallow her. It was too embarrassing!
On her first day at work, Damien carried her out of the car, which was embarrassing enough, but then he publicly kissed her and said such suggestive words. She could already imagine what the office gossip would be discussing today.
Furthermore, Damien’s actions this morning were sufficient to make her the subject of gossip for the entire week. Even the thought of it made Cherise feel helpless.
On the other hand, Damien seemed pleased with himself. He confidently entered the company building with the petite Cherise in his arms..
As Damien carried Cherise to the employee elevator, Cherise frowned and whispered, “Can we take the VIP elevator?”
As a large corporation, Lenoir Group had more than a dozen elevators. In addition to the regular ones for employees, there were two VIP elevators exclusively for important clients and top executives.
Cherise had heard from Lennon that he and Damien would always use the VIP elevator.
“You know a lot.” Damien smiled. He turned to let her see the VIP elevator.
She watched the ornate elevator close, and an employee hastily put up an ‘Out of Service’ sign.
Cherise was at a loss for words. Someone had entered the VIP elevator just then, and it was functioning normally. How could they now hang the maintenance sign? Was it intentional?
“We have no other option.” Damien glanced at Cherise slyly. “Mrs. Lenoir, you must squeeze into the employee elevator with me.”
With that, he strode purposefully while carrying Cherise into the employee elevator.
“Mr. Lenoir!”
“Good morning, Mr. Lenoir!”
A hushed reverence swept through the entire elevator as Damien entered with Cherise. Damien smiled and found a comfortable position to hold Cherise in his arms.
His office was on the 24th floor. Cherise remained in his arms as they rode the elevator.
Her cheeks burned with embarrassment throughout the journey. Even though she was nestled in Damien’s arms, she could sense the probing and fiery gazes of the people around her
Finally, they arrived at the 24th floor. As Damien carried Cherise out of the elevator, she took a deep breath and was relieved to escape people’s gaze.
“Mr. Lenoir, I have finished organizing the documents you requested.”
Damien noticed Candace standing at the door as he exited the elevator.
Candace still wore her specially tailored figure-hugging suit. She stood there with her head down. Her hands extended before her to hand over two folders. I received a call from the human resource department this morning, informing me to return to my original position.”
Her voice quivered. She seemed on the verge of tears. “I have organized all the documents that need to be sorted in the next two days.”
After saying that, she kept her head dow
tears swirling in her eyes. “Mr. Lenoir, I always considered you an employer who clearly distinguished between personal and professional matters. I never expected…”
“Is it because I offended your wife ay that you kicked i
out of
your office?” she asked.
Damien narrowed his eyes and did not respond.
As Candace kept her head down, she did not know Damien was holding a woman in his arms.
