Is Cherise, that fool, the sole person he cares about!?
The woman scoffed, "Mr. Lenoir is quite conservative."
"It's prudent for everyone to maintain a degree of conservatism."
After a faint smile, he gestured for her to proceed. "Ms. Weiss, please proceed."
Yolanda pursed her lips and left.
During the journey to the hospital, Yolanda attempted to initiate a conversation with Damien, but he either crossed his arms and gazed out the window or feigned sleep.
Boredom set in, prompting Yolanda to retrieve her phone and message her younger brother, Sebastian Weiss, "Sebastian, who in the Lenoir Group asked me to meet Damien? Damien doesn't seem interested in meeting me at all. He's not enthusiastic at all!"
"I'm so frustrated! I've never been ignored like this in my entire life!"
Shortly after dispatching the message, she received a reply, "If that's the case, why don't you come back earlier?"
"No way!"
Yolanda's lips tightened. "I've developed a liking for Damien."
The man on the other end of the phone held a brief silence. "Masochist."
"Who are you referring to?"
"I'm talking about you. He doesn't deign to pay attention to you, yet you cultivate affection for him. If that's not masochism, then what is it?"
"Say whatever you want. I simply find enjoyment in challenging pursuits!"
"Well, we Weiss family are all cut from the same cloth."
"What do you mean?"
"It's inconsequential. You proceed with pursuing Damien, and I'll exert my best efforts to integrate you into Cherise's acceptance as her sister."
Yolanda lapsed into silence.
"Brother, are you serious? Do you genuinely harbor feelings for that foolish Cherise?"
"Yes."
"You're absurd!"
