Chapter 884 Superficial
Damien explained frankly, “Since I can’t buy Weiss Group’s shares, I have to explore other avenues,
such as repurchasing some of the shares scattered among Lenoir Group’s longtime shareholders.”
“At the very least, my sister and I have to hold more shares than what Tristan sold. Otherwise, during
the shareholders’ meeting, the Weiss family may exploit the share ratio to weaken my influence in
Lenoir Group.”
“I have to review information on those longtime shareholders individually. My workload will be
substantial if no one assists me. Other capable individuals in the company hold high positions or have
ambiguous identities and standings. I cannot involve them in such confidential matters.”
Damien attempted to explain the challenges he faced to Cherise simply and concisely.
Cherise pursed her lips and seemed to understand him. “If your work is unmanageable without an
assistant… perhaps you should let Candace stay.”
Knowing Damien had a clear conscience was enough for her. As long as she believed in him, what
others said did not matter.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut Damien did not share the same sentiment. “I would rather deal with more work than allow others to
gossip about us.”
He set down the fork and gracefully picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth. “If you feel sorry for me, you
can come here often to bring me meals. The food is delicious.”
Cherise felt uneasy despite his assurance. She wondered if she should never have visited tonight.
Damien wouldn’t have had so much trouble if she had not visited.
Regardless, she trusted Damien entirely and knew he would never have an affair with his female
employees. After all, if he genuinely wanted to be with the woman in his company, he would not have
desperately searched for her for five years.
But now…
Cherise pondered as she organized the lunchbox, wishing she could be more helpful to him in this
situation. Suddenly, she looked up and gazed firmly at Damien. “I can help you!”
Damien frowned at her, “You can help me?”
“Yes!” Cherise answered excitedly. Her plump face radiated enthusiasm. “I’m good at organizing data!”
“I excelled in this area while studying!” she continued confidently. “Furthermore, you can trust me even
when the company is in turmoil. I will unwaveringly stand by your side, and my position is crystal cleart”
“Let me assist you! This way, no one can gossip about us!” she declared, recalling the mockery she
faced before entering Damien’s office. Other women had mocked her when she arrived on this floor,
saying, “She can only treat illnesses and knows nothing about the company. Only you can be Mr.
Lenoir’s trusted assistant…”

Cherise clenched her fists in excitement. “Hubby, I can be your trusted assistant. Have faith in me! I
can do this!”
Damien was stunned by her determination before asking, “What about your job at the research
institute?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCherise pursed her lips. “I quit the job this evening!”
Damien raised his eyebrows in surprise. “You quit?”
Cherise nodded solemnly. “Yes, I quit.”
“Why?” Damien furrowed his brow and asked while helping her to gather the lunchbox.
Cherise took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. “I felt that I might not be suited for the work at the
research institute.”
“When I was accused of plagiarizing Yolanda, besides Heather, no one in the institute respected me. I
could hear them whispering about me whenever I walked down the hallway.”
“But when I returned to the institute today after clearing my name, everyone was suddenly excessively
polite and welcoming to me. It feels superficial,” she concluded with a bitter smile.
