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.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    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?”
