Chapter 1155 Don't Get Involved
"I asked Mr. Lenoir to come because I feared I couldn't handle Violet, so I reached out to him. If it caused any issues between you two... please keep me out of it!" With that, the man swiftly moved to another table.
Cherise remained silent. If the man across from her made things difficult for her, she would take her revenge on Colin. She carefully poured a glass of water for Damien, saying softly, "Sweetheart, have some water."
"Mm." Damien smiled as he accepted the glass of water. "Thank you to the incredibly charming Mrs. Lenoir for pouring me water."
Cherise stayed silent, her certainty growing that Damien, in his pettiness, would definitely seek retaliation against her. She pursed her lips and cautiously said, "Tonight, can you..."
"I'll be gentle," Damien interjected sharply.
Cherise remained silent, seething with disbelief. Liar! She refused to trust his assurances. Every time he promised to be gentle and slow, it always ended up fierce and intense. He's a liar! Despite her penchant for weaving stories about such matters, this man...
As Cherise silently cursed Colin, the café elevator opened. Lennon, his expression impassive, stepped out and cast a cold glance in Cherise and Colin's direction before departing. Shortly after his departure, the doors of another elevator opened, and a somewhat pale Lucy emerged.
Cherise ceased squabbling with Damien; instead, she hurried over to Lucy. Taking Lucy's hand, she asked with concern, "Lucy, how are you feeling?"
"I'm okay," Lucy replied, managing a weak smile. "Lennon promised me he won't argue or fight with Colin anymore, no matter how upset he gets. He'll do this for me." She smiled reassuringly at Colin. "So, don't worry!"
"A little," Damien acknowledged, glancing at Colin and rolling his eyes. "But what I believe is that outsiders shouldn't interfere too much." After a pause, his dark eyes fixed on Colin, scrutinizing him fixedly. "Who do you think you are to Lucy? What right do you have to worry about her? If your reasons are convincing, perhaps I'll consider lending a hand."
Colin hesitated, turning his face slightly away, avoiding Damien's gaze. "I... Can't I be concerned about her as her friend?"
"If you're truly her friend, you should maintain your distance," Damien replied calmly. "In personal situations like this, it's best not to get involved."
Colin furrowed his brow, a hint of displeasure creeping into his voice. "Why not?"
