Chapter 15<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course,\u201d Morris said, rolling down the car window as he spoke<\/p>\n
Cherise let the evening breeze tousle her hair, the city lights casting a drarnatic glow on her features.<\/p>\n
Morris, entranced, felt an immediate bond with her, as if they were old acquaintances.<\/p>\n
Xenia, behind the wheel of a Ferrari, joked to Truinan, \u201cTruma given my expertise in romance novels, I find it hard to believe Morris is interested in Cherise. He\u2019s not exactly the dating type, is he? I even wondered if he might be gay<\/p>\n
Truman disagreed with a shake of his head. \u201cThat\u2019s just Morris. He\u2019s not with anyone because he\u2019s holding out for the perfect match. When he finds her, watch out.\u201d<\/p>\n
Xenia rolled her eyes. \u201cYou all are such superficial judges. Cherise is stunning. If I were a man, I\u2019d be captivated by her too.\u201d Truman concurred. \u201cYour grandma always says that first impressions are based on appearance, and second on wealth, but Cherise has a natural beauty that stands out.\u201d<\/p>\n
As their lively discussion continued, they chatted like a couple of noisy crows.<\/p>\n
\u201cTruth is, if Cherise had been in Betrico from the start, she would have easily surpassed her stepsister, Shirley, in both looks and intellect, Xenia commented<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat? Shirley is Cherise\u2019s stepsister? Jacob and Claire\u2019s daughter? So Jacob is Cherise\u2019s biological father? Cherise is the real deal?\u201d Truman\u2019s surprise was palpable.<\/p>\n
Xenia confirmed, keeping her focus on driving.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell, Cherise is engaged to Jeffrey. It seems Betrico is about to witness some changes,\u201d Truman sighed.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Morris and Cherise pulled up at Glenshire Gardens a high\u2013end complex reserved for the elite.<\/p>\n
Morris stepped out to help Cherise with her hefty luggage. \u201cThese are quite heavy. Let me give you a hand with them upstairs.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise smiled and politely declined, \u201cNo need. Thank you, Mr. Chivers. She was actually quite capable of handling her luggage with her own strength.<\/p>\n
Please, call the Morris,\u201d he requested<\/p>\n
Cherise was hesitant. \u201cIsn\u2019t that a bit too casual? We\u2019ve only just been introduced.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFormalities are unnecessary. Since you\u2019re a friend of Xenia, youre a friend of mine,\u201d Morris replied with a friendly grin, instantly making them feel more at ease.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, Morris, Cherise conceded, still somewhat reserved.<\/p>\n
Morris was pleased and, with his persistence, Cherise accepted his help with her bags<\/p>\n
The apartment, located on the 26th floor, offered privacy with no adjacent neighbors..<\/p>\n
After entering with a password and a simple switch, they found themselves in a contemporary, log\u2013cabin\u2013inspired space that was cozy and welcoming<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you for escorting me home. It\u2019s getting late, you should head home and get some rest,\u201d Cherise suggested.<\/p>\n
Morris chuckled, perceiving her subtle attempt to dismiss him, but he was patient\u2013she was young and he believed there<\/p>\n

would be plenty of time to build their relationship.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlright, it is getting late. Till next time,\u201d he agreed.<\/p>\n
Once back in his car. Morris made a phone call, and, upon the other party answering, he promptly commanded. \u201cPrepare an apartment in Glenshire Gardens, on the 26th floor, for my use.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once settled into her new home, Cherise sent a text to Dennis and Bella, informing them of her safe arrival, and then began to explore her new surroundings.<\/p>\n
The apartment, with its soothing creamy brown hues, provided a tranquil atmosphere. The expansive floor\u2013to\u2013ceiling windows in the living room provided a breathtaking view of Betrico\u2019s vibrant cityscape and the expansive coastline.<\/p>\n
Dora had selected the apartment with Cherise\u2019s tastes in mind, ensuring it featured a private painting studio, a quiet study nook, and a spacious walk\u2013in closet filled with an array of fashion choices<\/p>\n
