Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 1181
Chapter 1181 Rich Wife
It was ten sharp when Lucy was called into the event director's office. "Where's Cherise?" he inquired.
Lucy pursed her lips. "She's not feeling well and couldn't come in today."
"Hmm, skipping out without calling in sick? Must be living the high life with that rich husband," the director mumbled, shaking his head.
Lucy furrowed her brow. "Excuse me, what did you say?"
If memory serves, neither she nor Cherise mentioned their personal lives during their job applications. How could the director possibly know Cherise was married to someone wealthy?
The director blinked, clearing his throat. "Nothing important. It's Monday already. Did you finish the birthday celebration plan I requested last week?"
Lucy took a deep breath and turned to place her completed proposal on his desk. "Yes, it's finished. It might be a little basic, but I'd appreciate your feedback."
The director frowned, picking up the plan and flipping through it. "Explain your approach."
Despite Lucy's typically carefree and assertive demeanor, she was thorough when it mattered.
Taking another deep breath, she slowed her speech. "Here's my thought process. Since you mentioned the birthday girl wasn't from here but from Adania, and I've lived there since I was a kid, I incorporated a lot of unique Adanian touches into the party theme."
She went on, "And about wanting to introduce her fiancé in a big way at the party? Just showing him off right away seemed kinda boring. So, I came up with this: her fiancé surprises her with the cake, they cut it together, everyone's watching, and BAM! The ring's hidden inside for her to find. Proposal and birthday celebration, all in one smooth move. Romantic, right?'
Lucy nodded, about to leave, then paused as if remembering something crucial. "Director," she started.
"Yes?" the supervisor replied.
"Did you have someone check on Cherry?" Lucy inquired.
The supervisor hesitated, then shook his head. "No, not at all. A colleague saw her leaving in a fancy car and mentioned it."
Lucy nodded calmly and exited.

The readers' comments on the novel: Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise)
🌸 Message to the Author: 🌸 Hi! I just finished reading your story, and I truly loved it — especially Damien and Cherise’s journey. But what completely stole my heart was Lennon and Lucy. Their final scene left me stunned… Lennon being alive, quietly showing up after all that time — it was such a powerful and emotional moment. But it also left me with so many feelings… What happened to him? How did Lucy react after the shock wore off? What did they say to each other? I keep thinking about them. I know they’re side characters, and the story is marked as completed, but I would truly love a bonus chapter — even a small one — to see what came next for them. They deserve that closure. And honestly? So do we, as readers who deeply connected with them. And we would also love to see more of Damien and cherise with their kids. Thank you for creating characters that live so deeply in our hearts. If you ever feel inspired, please consider giving Lennon and Lucy a little more. ❤️...
