Marrying the Man in the Dark (Damien and Cherise) novel Chapter 856

Chapter 856 Whispers of Shareholders and Tender Moments 

Damien offered a helpless smile as he delicately slipped on Cherise’s shoes. “It’s Lennon.” 

“In Ziphon, Tristan orchestrated the sale of over 30% of the Lenoir Group’s shares, previously held by him and Raymond, to the Weiss family.” 

“Now, under the helm of the eldest son, Sebastian, the Weiss family, including Yolanda, Sebastian’s elder sister, has control. Yolanda has also obtained half of the shares purchased by the Weiss family this time.” 

“Lennon believes that Yolanda presents a crucial opportunity for us to repurchase the shares. She requested a meeting with me, and Lennon clandestinely arranged for her to attend.” 

After assisting Cherise with her footwear, Damien enveloped her in his arms. “Are upset?” 

“I only discovered this morning, upon arriving at the company, that Lennon had organized such a banquet in my honor.”

“I’ve already reprimanded him, but since he arranged for someone to represent me, I have to oblige even if I’m not inclined to. It wouldn’t bode well if word got out otherwise.” 

Cherise rested in Damien’s embrace, attuned to his steady heartbeat and breath. She knew he wasn’t deceiving her. 

He volunteered every detail to reassure her. 

In his embrace, what else could she worry about? 

With a pout, she nestled into his arms. “How did your discussion with Yolanda unfold? Is she amenable to selling her shares to you?” 

Damien shook his head. “We hadn’t broached that subject yet. You called before we could.” 

“Then I took her to the research institute to find you, and we ended up at the hospital.” 

Cherise fell into silence. 

Initially, she was irked by Mr. Whitlock and Mr. Zeller, who persistently mentioned Ms. Weiss and Damien’s dinner. Hence, she dialed Damien’s number and summoned him to her side without much deliberation.

In the heat of the moment, she was angry and didn’t give much thought to her actions. 

But now… she pondered whether she had inadvertently impeded his pressing matters… 

A pang of guilt pricked Cherise’s conscience, prompting her to lower her head and apologize to Damien. “I’m sorry… it’s my fault…” 

She hadn’t considered that his dinner with Yolanda pertained to business, and she had allowed herself to be swayed by others‘ remarks. 

If it had impacted his work… 

“Do you want to speak to Yolanda again?” 

She extended her hands toward him. “I promise not to cause you any trouble this time, no jealousy, no disruptions!” 

Damien couldn’t help but shake his head at the innocent and pitiful expression on the woman before him. 

Enfolding her, he said, “There’s no need.” 

“I can sense that Ms. Weiss had no intentions of transferring her shares when she visited.” 

Cherise compressed her lips. “Then why did she dine with you?” 

“Likely because she’s an affluent young lady seeking male companionship out of boredom.” 

“Unfortunately, I’m not her ideal candidate,” 

Damien smiled, gazing fondly at Cherise. “In my leisure, I only indulge in Cherise’s company.” 

As Damien uttered these endearing words composedly, Cherise blushed, her heart fluttering. 

She averted her gaze awkwardly. “I’m not a child. Why would I need so much of your time…” 

“But of course you do,” 

Damien held her chin, locking eyes with her. “Didn’t we have a splendid time together last night and this morning?” 

Cherise frowned 

What games had they played? 

After a brief pause, under Damien’s mischievous grin, Cherise’s face flushed as she recollected.
