Chapter 880 Peeping
Everyone stared at Cherise in shock. “Mrs…Mrs. Lenoir!”
Candace turned pale. “Mrs. Lenoir…”
Cherise smiled at her. “Don’t call me that. Perhaps this title might soon be yours.”
There was no trace of anger or jealousy in Cherise’s voice. Her tone was calm as if she was discussing the weather.
The other women could not help but be impressed by her composure. If it were them, they could never remain that calm if they discovered a woman getting in between their relationship with their husband.
As everyone was at a standstill, Candace’s phone rang. It was a call from Damien.
Candace held the phone, hesitating whether to answer it. But Cherise noticed the number on the phone screen and smiled. “Answer it.”
Candace silently pressed the answer button.
A deep male voice commanded sternly from the phone, “Come to my office immediately.”
Candace pursed her lips. She looked at Cherise with fear and a sense of triumph.
But Cherise merely smiled at her. “Go. Don’t mention I’m here. Otherwise, you know the consequences.”
Candace looked pale as she nodded. She turned around and hurried into Damien’s office. After she left, the corridor instantly quieted down again.
Cherise glanced at the other women, who kept their gaze down, not daring to speak. “I remember you were talking about how you saw Candace and Damien almost embracing, right?”
No one said a word.
Cherise spoke again, “Who will take me to see what they are doing inside? I’ll tell my husband to give a raise to whoever volunteers.”
After a moment of silence, a petite girl in black stepped forward and led Cherise to a corner. An angled glass in that corner gave them a good view of what was happening in Damien’s office.
Cherise was impressed that they noticed such a hidden angle. She stood there and watched the scene inside the office.
She saw Damien lean coldly in his chair. He held his phone while looking at Candace sternly as if reproaching her about something.
Candace’s face was flushed from his scolding, and she was on the verge of tears. But Damien did not show any tenderness or pity. He continued to speak angrily.

Chapter 880 Peeping
Watching this scene unfold before her, Cherise silently turned around and looked at the women behind her. “Is this what you call intimacy?” She had braced herself to witness something that would break her heart.
As she pondered, Damien dialed a number on his phone. Suddenly, Cherise’s phone rang.
She was startled and immediately thought to answer the call. However, she realized Damien was looking at her from his office.
Oh no, he caught me peeping at him.
“Why are you here?” Before Cherise could decide how to react, Damien had already rushed out of his office and stopped before her. His gaze seemed to burn as he looked at her. Then, he noticed the thermal lunchbox in her hands, prompting his lips to curve with delight. “Are you here to bring me food?”
After saying that, he immediately pulled her into his embrace. “So thoughtful.”
Cherise did not know what to say.
Meanwhile, the other women witnessed Damien’s behavior and exchanged glances. Only a few minutes ago, they were in awe of Candace, thinking she had a chance of becoming Damien’s lover.
