Chapter 859 Interlude of Intrigue
Cherise fell speechless.
“When did you become so cunning?” she finally asked.
Damien smiled lightly, pulling her into his arms and kissing her passionately. “I’ve always been
cunning.”
“It’s just that I couldn’t bring myself to use it on you.”
Cherise weakly resisted him. “Then why… are you willing now?”
“Because the allure of a car rendezvous is too irresistible,”
Damien replied, kissing her lips again, ready to proceed when his phone rang.
Cherise seized the lifeline. “Phone!”
“Answer it!”
Damien frowned, seeing the call was from Yolanda.
The car remained dimly lit.
Damien’s brows furrowed deeply at seeing Yolanda’s name on the screen.
He promptly hit the hang–up button and resumed kissing Cherise, “It’s an unimportant call. There’s no
need to answer.”
Nothing was more important than this moment of passion between them!
But Cherise didn’t think so at all!
She didn’t want to be with this man in the middle of nowhere…
What if they made a mess, and there needed to be somewhere to take a bath!
She didn’t want that!
When Yolanda called again, she urged Damien to answer.
However, he remained adamant, “I said it’s unimportant.”
Cherise’s lips tightened as she snatched the phone from Damien’s hand.
The sight of “Yolanda” on the screen made her eyebrows furrow deeply.
After her unpleasant encounter with Yolanda earlier that day, Damien had mentioned that Lennon
arranged their meeting. Curious about Lennon’s intentions, Cherise had inquired further.
She ended up receiving an impromptu economics lesson.
Though dazed, Cherise retained the main points.
The most efficient and cost–effective solution to the Lenoir Group’s current crisis is to manage Yolanda
and convince her to sell her shares to Damien.
So when Damien dismissed Yolanda’s call as “unimportant,” Cherise couldn’t help but roll. her eyes in
silent exasperation.
“How is she unimportant?”
“What if she has something significant to share?”
“What if she’s reconsidering selling her shares to you?”
“How is that possible?”
Damien sneered and tossed the phone to Cherise. “You answer it. I’ll get down and have a smoke to
calm down.”
After his words, the man rose from his seat and promptly exited the vehicle.
Damien felt a twinge of irritation as the crucial moment was disrupted, yet he couldn’t muster anger
towards Cherise. Instead, he resorted to smoking a cigarette to soothe hist emotions.
Meanwhile, Cherise clutched Damien’s phone with unease as though it were a scalding object.
Despite being husband and wife, answering Damien’s calls had never crossed her mind.
Aware that they each had their own lives and social circles, Cherise had never felt the need to
intertwine them.
But now, She couldn’t shake off the urge to answer.
Cherise knew Damien’s strong personality meant he would never backtrack on his words. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
If he claimed to have given up on Yolanda, he meant it.
Yet, as his wife, she didn’t want to witness him overwhelmed or distressed.
Thus, with conflicting emotions, Cherise tentatively answered Yolanda’s call.
“Hello?”
Cherise uttered.
There was a brief silence on the other end of the line.
