Chapter 43 I Don’t Think He Works
It suddenly dawned on Cherise. “That’s right. You’re friends with the head, Lila.”
She could work here thanks to Ian and Lila’s good relationship.
Otherwise, how could she have found a well–paying job that suited her?
“Ian, it’s so late. Did you come to look for Lila?”
She asked with a frown.
Lila was pretty, competent, and intelligent. She should be the type of woman Ian liked.
The man’s hands on the steering wheel froze slightly. “Sort of.”
Lila Gurwell had called and asked him out for dinner in the evening, but he turned her down.
“I thought you got off work at seven.”
He had come to wait for her to get off work and had been waiting since seven,
“I just started working, and I’m unfamiliar with everything.”
Cherise laughed embarrassedly. “Lila didn’t make me work overtime. I’m not skilled enough, so I got off work late.”
Ian smiled. “I’m quite familiar with the work here. If there’s anything you don’t understand, you can call me and ask.”
Cherise nodded. “Thank you, Ian.”
So many years had passed, but Ian was still as gentle and friendly as he was back then.
“We’ve been friends for so many years. I feel like calling me fan‘ is very solemn. If you don’t mind, you can call me ‘E.”
E…
Such a nickname was too intimate.
Cherise waved her hands. “I think I’ll continue calling you Ian. After all, you’re older than me.”
After that, the car was momentarily silent.
After a long time, lan coughed lightly. “Why are you working part–time all of a sudden? Are you in trouble lately?”
Actually, Ian wanted to ask Cherise this question in the afternoon.
But she stammered and said she wanted to sign up for cooking classes.
She really didn’t know how to lie.
She was such a sensible and capable girl. No one would believe that she didn’t know how to cook.
“I’m not in trouble.”
She smiled as she denied it.
The man in the driver’s seat asked, “If you need money, you can tell me. Even though I haven’t worked long, my pay is decent!”
After that, Ian couldn’t help but start to show off. “I bought this car with my own money for around two hundred thousand. All my classmates are jealous of me.”
Cherise looked at him enviously. “As expected, you’re amazing, Ian.”
“It would be great if I could be as excellent as you, Ian.”
Ian smiled, pleased with himself. “As long as you work hard, nothing is impossible.”
“By the way, Cherise, you haven’t told me where you’re staying!”
Cherise quietly told him Swan Lake Chateau’s address.
Ian was in awe for a long time. “Swan Lake Chateau? Is that the exclusive villa area for wealthy people?”
Cherise nodded. “I don’t think there’s another Swan Lake Chateau, right?”

🌸 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. ❤️...
