“Will you be that fierce to me, too?”


    The man shook his head helplessly and looked at her indulgently. “No.”


    Cherise still had lingering fears. “But Mr. Hampson didn’t overstep his boundaries.”


    Cherise understood that Mr. Hampson’s words were just a sign of his concern for her.


    “You’ll understand in the future,” Damien said as he rubbed his fingers together.


    Then, he smiled faintly and fixed his eyes on her. “Where were we just now? We were talking about


    you shamelessly chasing after me, right?”


    Cherise couldn’t believe just how fast he had tried to veer the conversation away from the elephant in


    the room.


    Reluctantly, she nodded seriously. “Yes, we were talking about that.”


    “Did I really shamelessly chase after you before?”


    Damien had his arms on the table andced both his hands together, replying with a solemn voice,


    “Yes, very crazily.”


    “You even said you would protect me for a lifetime.”


    Cherise’s eyes widened in surprise.


    “That’s quite crazy…”


    “A person like you, why would you need me to protect you…”


    After lunch, Damien received a call from thepany, saying that Sebastian wanted to meet him.


    Damien raised his lips faintly. “Mr. Weiss?”


    “Yes”


    The voice from the secretary on the phone trembled, “Mr. Weiss’ secretary said that Mr. Weiss is on a


    ne now and will arrive in Adania soon. He said there’s a ten billion deal he wants to discuss with


    you…”


    Damien’s lips perked up in a smile.


    A ten billion deal.


    This ten billion should be the ten billion shares that Sebastian graciously handed over to me, right?


    When news broke out that Sebastian had given back the shares he had purchased from Damien,


    rumors started spreading that Sebastian had slept with Damien’s wife.


    This world has truly gone crazy.


    In order to tarnish his reputation and ruin Cherise, Sebastian was willing to use so many assets as a


    pawn.


    But the Weiss family probably didn’t anticipate that Damien’s trust in Cherise and her feelings for him


    were both terrifyingly genuine.


    So he smiled and said, “Tell Mr. Weiss that I’m busy.”


    The secretary on the phone panicked, “Mr. Weiss’ secretary has called over a dozen times, insisting on


    meeting you today…”


    “Tell them I’m at home with my wife and have no time.”


    “If Mr. Weiss really wants to see me, give him my address and tell him toe over instead.”


    With that, Damien hung up decisively.


    The secretary on the other end of the line was bewildered.


    It seems that recent events have really taken a toll on the CEO.


    First, turning down a business deal worth one billion that was handed to him on a silver tter was


    unthinkable. Second, telling the other party that he’s at home with his wife and that his house is open if


    the other party insists on meeting him?


    Is home a ce to discuss business?


    In the business world, whoever visits the other’s home first is basically seen as the weaker party.


    Isn’t Mr. Lenoir basically pushing away one billion?


    But what the secretary didn’t expect was…


    After rying Damien’s message to Mr. Weiss’ secretary, they actually responded that Mr. Weiss willing


    to visit Damien’s house. They even carefully asked for the specific address of the house.


    Is this world going crazy?


    After lunch, Cherise had nothing to do, so she continued to sit on the sofa and watch Korean dramas


    After watching two episodes, Damien, who had been working in the study, elegantly came downstairs


    and sat down beside her. “Go change into some clothes.”


    Cherise blinked and looked at the white fluffy pajamas on her body. “Are we going out?”


    “No.”
