Chapter 884 Superficial

Damien explained frankly, “Since I can’t buy Weiss Group’s shares, I have to explore other

avenues, such as repurchasing some of the shares scattered among Lenoir Group’s

longtime shareholders.”

“At the very least, my sister and I have to hold more shares than what Tristan sold.

Otherwise, during the shareholders’ meeting, the Weiss family may exploit the share ratio

to weaken my influence in Lenoir Group.”

“I have to review information on those longtime shareholders individually. My workload will

be substantial if no one assists me. Other capable individuals in the company hold high

positions or have ambiguous identities and standings. I cannot involve them in such

confidential matters.”

Damien attempted to explain the challenges he faced to Cherise simply and concisely.

Cherise pursed her lips and seemed to understand him. “If your work is unmanageable

without an assistant… perhaps you should let Candace stay.”

Knowing Damien had a clear conscience was enough for her. As long as she believed in

him, what others said did not matter.

But Damien did not share the same sentiment. “I would rather deal with more work than

allow others to gossip about us.”

He set down the fork and gracefully picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth. “If you feel

sorry for me, you can come here often to bring me meals. The food is delicious.”

Cherise felt uneasy despite his assurance. She wondered if she should never have visited

tonight. Damien wouldn’t have had so much trouble if she had not visited.

Regardless, she trusted Damien entirely and knew he would never have an affair with his

female employees. After all, if he genuinely wanted to be with the woman in his company,

he would not have desperately searched for her for five years.

But now…

Cherise pondered as she organized the lunchbox, wishing she could be more helpful to

him in this situation. Suddenly, she looked up and gazed firmly at Damien. “I can help

you!”

Damien frowned at her, “You can help me?”

“Yes!” Cherise answered excitedly. Her plump face radiated enthusiasm. “I’m good at

organizing data!”

“I excelled in this area while studying!” she continued confidently. “Furthermore, you can

trust me even when the company is in turmoil. I will unwaveringly stand by your side, and

my position is crystal cleart”

“Let me assist you! This way, no one can gossip about us!” she declared, recalling the

mockery she faced before entering Damien’s office. Other women had mocked her when

she arrived on this floor, saying, “She can only treat illnesses and knows nothing about the

company. Only you can be Mr. Lenoir’s trusted assistant…”

Cherise clenched her fists in excitement. “Hubby, I can be your trusted assistant. Have

faith in me! I can do this!”

Damien was stunned by her determination before asking, “What about your job at the

research institute?”

Cherise pursed her lips. “I quit the job this evening!”

Damien raised his eyebrows in surprise. “You quit?”

Cherise nodded solemnly. “Yes, I quit.”

“Why?” Damien furrowed his brow and asked while helping her to gather the lunchbox.

Cherise took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. “I felt that I might not be suited for

the work at the research institute.”

“When I was accused of plagiarizing Yolanda, besides Heather, no one in the institute

respected me. I could hear them whispering about me whenever I walked down the

hallway.”

“But when I returned to the institute today after clearing my name, everyone was

suddenly excessively polite and welcoming to me. It feels superficial,” she concluded with

a bitter smile.
