Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 753 Repeat Those Words Again

Mr. Whitlock looked at Cherise earnestly. “Cherise, you frequently dine at New World Restaurant with Mr. Lenoir, right? How much does a meal usually cost?”

Cherise chuckled awkwardly, momentarily unsure of how to respond. It was because she was never the one to foot the bill.

Later, having finally escaped Mr. Whitlock, Cherise immediately called Damien when she left the office. “You planned to treat all my colleagues to a meal behind my back?”

“I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I planned to inform you last.” Damien chuckled softly on the phone. “I remember you mentioned that your colleagues dislike you because I made such a grand gesture during the proposal.”

Damien’s voice was deep and tender. “So, I consulted the female employees in my company. They all agreed that people feel obliged to be nice to the people they receive gifts from. As long as I keep your colleagues well-fed and well-gifted, they won’t give you a hard time.”

Cherise gripped her phone and felt inexplicably warmed.

She had long grown accustomed to how her colleagues perceived and gossiped about her. After all, people had regarded her with peculiar gazes during her three years in Lermille Hospital.
