A moment later, a deep, gentle voice answered the call. "What's the matter?"
"What are you doing?" Cherise asked.
"I'm having dinner with a business partner."
Cherise raised her eyebrows. "Who's your business partner?"
"Someone I have dealings with regarding shares."
Damien answered honestly, without any hint of hiding. "I want to buy back Lenoir Group shares from this person, so we are having a meal together."
His deep, magnetic voice sounded amused as he continued, "Why? Have you suddenly decided to check on me, Mrs. Lenoir?"
After saying that, his voice lowered a few notches. "Is it because I didn't satisfy you enough last night and this morning? Don't worry. I have plenty more in me. We'll continue tonight."
Cherise's hand trembled violently as she gripped the phone. She almost threw it to the floor. If it weren't for Mr. Zeller and Mr. Whitlock's presence, she would have cursed Damien as an old lecher.
Instead, she took a deep breath and pursed her lips. "So, is your client male or female?"
"Female." Damien's response was straightforward. "Not as beautiful as you, nor as gentle."
"In that case, don't negotiate." Cherise took a deep breath. "I'm at Mr. Whitlock's office in the institute. Come and pick me up now. Also, bring your female client with you."
Damien was briefly silent but did not hesitate. "If she's willing."
Does this mean Yolanda is only a female client to Damien?
But... When Mr. Zeller came to see me, he said Yolanda was Damien's new love interest! If he hadn't said that, I wouldn't have dared to treat Cherise like I did.
