    Chapter 753 Repeat Those Words Again


    Mr. Whitlock looked at Cherise earnestly. “Cherise, you frequently dine at New World Restaurant with


    Mr. Lenoir, right? How much does a meal usually cost?”


    Cherise chuckled awkwardly, momentarily unsure of how to respond. It was because she was never


    the one to foot the bill.


    Later, having finally escaped Mr. Whitlock, Cherise immediately called Damien when she left the office.


    “You nned to treat all my colleagues to a meal behind my back?”


    “I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I nned to inform youst.” Damien chuckled softly on the phone. “I


    remember you mentioned that your colleagues dislike you because I made such a grand gesture during


    the proposal.”


    Damien’s voice was deep and tender. “So, I consulted the female employees in mypany. They all


    agreed that people feel obliged to be nice to the people they receive gifts from. As long as I keep your


    colleagues well-fed and well-gifted, they won’t give you a hard time.”


    Cherise gripped her phone and felt inexplicably warmed.


    She had long grown ustomed to how her colleagues perceived and gossiped about her. After all,


    people had regarded her with peculiar gazes during her three years in Lermille Hospital.


    However, she never expected Damien, who was always busy with work, to go out of his way to seek


    advice from others because of aint she had once mentioned to him.


    Moreover, he went to great lengths to shower everyone with gifts and treat them to meals, all to ensure


    that her colleagues treat her better in the future.


    His thoughtfulness touched her. “Damien, thank you.”


    Damien responded affectionately. Take those words back. We are husband and wife. Those two words.


    should never be uttered between us.”


    “Okay” Cherise leaned against a window along the corridor and gazed at the sky. Her lips curved into a


    smile. “I love you.”


    Since he refused to ept ‘thank you,’ she said ‘I love you’ instead.


    There was a moment of silence on the other end. Then, Damien ordered sternly. “Meeting adjourned!”


    Cherise was rendered speechless. Her eyes widened with embarrassment and horror..


    Did he answer my call in a meeting?


    She desperately wished she could find a hole to crawl into.


    Cherise imagined a room full of staff silently observing Damien as he chatted with her.


    Then, sounds of rustling footsteps echoed from the other end. Judging from them, there must have


    been twenty to thirty people in the meeting room. The realization prompted her cheeks to burn.


    After a long pause, Cherise heard someone closing the door.

    Then, Damien’s deep voice sounded again. “Cherry, what did you say?”


    Cherise pursed her lips. “Damien, did you answer my call in a meeting?”


    “Yes” Damien seemed unconcerned. “I was in a meeting just now. To avoid missing your call, I asked


    them to pause the meeting.”


    He sounded a bit regretful. “If I had known you would confess, I would have adjourned the meeting as


    soon as you called.”


    Cherise was astounded. “You can hang up my call if you’re in a meeting next time. I don’t have


    anything urgent.”


    “Work is not as important as you.” Damien reclined in his armchair and tapped his fingers on the table.


    “Now, repeat what you said before.”


    Cherise remained silent.


    No! I’m not saying it!


    She rolled her eyes. “I don’t have anything else to say. Since we’re going to New World Restaurant for


    dinner tonight, remember to pick me up from the research institute.”
