Cherise’s eyes sparkled with excitement as she thought about this.


    Damien had helped her take care of everything for so long. Despite his busy schedule, he always found


    time to solve her problems. Now, she had finally discovered the perfect way to repay him. Besides, as


    his wife, it only made sense that she was his trusted assistant.


    “You’re going to be Damien’s assistant?” Sebastian’s voice rose a few notches. “But you’re an excellent


    doctor. Isn’t being Damien’s assistant a waste of your talent? Moreover, you are a medical expert.


    Being Damien’s assistant means starting from scratch. Are you truly willing?”


    Sebastian had reasons from both logical and emotional standpoints for not wanting Cherise to be


    Damien’s assistant.


    Firstly, if Cherise stayed by Damien’s side daily, it would significantly reduce his chances of pursuing


    her.

    Secondly, Sebastian knew her temperament well. If she immersed herself in the business world for too


    long, she might grow to dislike someone like him who would do anything to make a profit.


    “It’s fine.” Cherisepletely misunderstood Sebastian’s reservations and chuckled. “I believe that with


    my strong learning ability. I’ll quickly get the hang of it. And besides, we should embrace lifelong


    learning. It’s always good to expand your knowledge.”


    Sebastian did not know what to say. Cherise’s response left him momentarily speechless.


    After a moment, he took a deep breath and decided to stick to the original n. “Since you’re free


    today, can I invite you to lunch? We haven’t had a proper meal to catch up after being apart for so long


    “It’s been many years since we were ssmates back in Shawbury, and I’ve only reunited with you. It


    brings back memories of those days.”


    Cherise pursed her lips. “Sure.”


    It was the same for her. After all these years, Sebastian was the only former ssmate she had


    encountered.


    It was half past ten in the morning.


    As Cherise got ready to go out and meet Sebastian, Damien was sleeping soundly in the bedroom.


    She could not help but feel a pang in her heart as she observed his exhausted expression.


    Whether in her work or personal life, he always went but of his way to help her, no matter the


    challenges she faced. On the other hand, it seemed she had never been able to help him in return.


    Taking a deep breath, Cherise tightened the strap of her sling bag and slung it over her shoulders. Now


    that she had a chance to talk to Sebastian, she would do her best to assist Damien as much as


    possible.


    “You were a in nerd in middle school. I never imagined you would grow to be so beautiful and


    mature.”


    They met in a luxurious restaurant in Adania. Sebastian sipped coffee while looking at the woman


    before him with admiration. “You’ve changed so much. It’s impressive.”


    Cherise smiled and was a little embarrassed. “You’re also impressive. The chubby desk mate from our


    middle school days has turned into such a handsome and capable person.”


    She sipped some coffee before smiling at him. “I was so shocked when my husband told me you were


    hispetitor.”


    “Shocked?” Sebastian chuckled as he looked at her. “You didn’t think I’d still be as clueless as I was


    back then, did you?”


    “No, not at all.” Cherise quickly shook her head, smiling at Sebastian. “I was just genuinely amazed.”


    “Did you hate me when you learned I was your husband’s rival?”
