Zachary and his fiancée would be visiting in just three days. She knew she would be preoccupied with getting to know Zachary's fiancée, so she wouldn't have the time to complete her thesis.
"Given how thrilled you are, it feels like she's your fiancée." Damien gently tapped the woman's nose with a helpless smile. "You silly girl."
Cherise bit her lip. She couldn't help but giggle. "I'm just excited."
After all, she had come to think of Zachary as a brother over the past five years. She was thrilled and overjoyed that Zachary was bringing his fiancée to visit her!
For the next two days, Cherise was engrossed in planning where to take Zachary and his fiancée while burying herself in academic research and writing her thesis.
Two days later, Cherise was heading to the research institute to submit her thesis under the blazing afternoon sun.
At that moment, Damien was negotiating a significant business deal with Lennon. Glancing at the scorching sunlight outside, the man said, "It's still early. I'll send you there later."
As she put on her coat, Cherise smiled sweetly at him. "Focus on your work. I can handle it myself. It's just a trip to the research institute. There's no danger."
But Damien narrowed his eyes. "Hold on. I'll send you."
"No need!"
"Then Blake can go with you."
Rolling her eyes at him, Cherise retorted. "You know that Blake is down with a cold and high fever."
