Chapter 882 All to Tease Her
She apologized for making wrong assumptions and expressed gratitude for Cherise’s mercy.
Damien sat in his armchair and picked up a fork to start eating. At the same time, he looked at the two women with confusion. He had no idea what they were talking about.
“Do dine with us.” Cherise smiled at Candace. “If you don’t hurry, your boss will eat everything.”
Candace pursed her lips. She wanted to decline, but Damien spoke before she could. “I will inform the finance department to give you an extra one thousand as a bonus. You can go out and eat anything you want. However, the food my wife makes is only for me.”
Candace was stunned, while Cherise was speechless.
Seeing Candace still not moving to leave, Damien frowned in annoyance. “Two thousand. Get out.”
Candace did not know what to say. She stammered, “Yes, Mr. Lenoir. Thank you.”
Then, she rushed out of the room at lightning speed. While leaving, she did not forget to close the blinds in the office and the door.
Cherise was too aghast to speak.
Is her admiration for Damien worth only a two thousand bonus? Didn’t she promise to become Damien’s dedicated assistant? Women nowadays are fickle.
As Cherise pondered about Candace’s lack of determination, Damien pulled her b*dy into his arms and embraced her while he ate. His deep voice gently sounded in her ears. “Why did you suddenly think of bringing me food?”
The warmth of his b*dy and the loving tenderness of his voice caused Cherise’s heart to tingle. She looked down and blushed slightly. “I saw the video online and called my dad.”
After saying that, she raised her glimmering eyes and looked at him. “This meal… is to thank you…”
Damien’s heart was warmed as he looked at her shy expression. He instinctively tightened his grip on her hand. If he were not eating right now, he would pin her down against the office desk and shower her with love.
“Be gentle…” Cherise frowned and complained softly as she felt Damien tightening his grip. “It hurts.”
“If I weren’t eating, I would make your b*dy ache even more.” Damien smiled as he ate pierogi. “I’m happy you show your gratitude through actions instead of just words.”
At least she was not as distant as before.
“Whatever I do for you is worthwhile.”
Cherise pursed her lips. “Is that so? Why didn’t you answer my call earlier?”
Daten paused and shook his head helplessly. “Remember the girl you saw just now? I thought she was

smart, so I had her help me organize some documents.”
He sighed and continued, “Turns out she’s smart, but in the wrong way. I didn’t answer your call because she sneakily put my phone on silent. I was just talking to her when I saw you.”
After saying that, Damien squinted, saying, “By the way, why were you secretly watching me outside?”
Cherise remained silent.
“You came to the company to bring me food. Yet, instead of knocking on the door and finding me, you secretly hid in a corner with a few female employees to watch me.”
Damien tilted Cherise’s chin. His eyes flickered with amusement as he looked at her. “Mrs. Lenoir, what were you hoping to see?”
Cherise was rendered speechless. Knowing his intelligence, he must have already figured out why she secretly observed him. All of this was just to tease her
