Chapter 28<\/p>\n
Cherise, oblivious to the Leach family\u2019s latest drama, kicked off her day with her regular morning exercise.<\/p>\n
Holding a toast, Cherise opened the door to see Dora, her assistant, looking sharp in a fresh white suit and champagne- colored heels, her pixie cut tidy and her confident demeanor highlighted by bold red lips and a matching platinum bag.<\/p>\n
\u201cMorning. Cherise! It\u2019s been ages, Dora greeted<\/p>\n
\u201cDora, it\u2019s been too long. Cherise said, stepping aside to welcome her in.<\/p>\n
Dora, an expert in her field, might not be the best hacker, but she excelled in business management, marketing, and public relations.<\/p>\n
Seven years ago in Yasvissa, Dora had been caught in a rockslide with her boyfriend, who abandoned her to save himself. Cherise was her rescuer, nursing her back to health after a severe leg injury. Since then, Dora had been a devoted member of Cherise\u2019s team.<\/p>\n
As CEO of GlobalVision Group, Dora was at the forefront, rapidly expanding the company\u2019s reach in Betrico across various sectors including medical equipment, education, and real estate<\/p>\n
While Dora was a recognized figure, the company\u2019s chairman remained an enigma, surrounded by speculation and never appearing in public.<\/p>\n
Dora strode into the room with purpose, pulling a package wrapped in brown cloth from her bag. She presented it to Cherise, who put down her toast to unroll the cloth, revealing a set of shiny needles.<\/p>\n
\u201cWho\u2019s the VIP requiring your urgent skills?\u201d Dora inquired, intrigued.<\/p>\n
\u201cMorris\u2019s grandmother, Cherise responded, her tone flat.<\/p>\n
Dora\u2019s eyebrows shot up. \u201cNo kidding? How\u2019d you two hook up?\u201d he asked, clearly surprised.<\/p>\n
Just a drop<\/p>\n
chance encounter,<\/p>\n
Cherise said with a nonchalant shrug, Dora, knowing better than to press Cherise for more, let it<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way. King hasn\u2019t responded in a while. I bet he\u2019s not thrilled about this task,\u201d Dora remarked, almost offhandedly. Cherise sipped her water before replying, \u201cDon\u2019t stress over it. Keep reaching out to him. I have some additional research to do as well.\u201d<\/p>\n
As she replaced her water glass on the table, Cherise\u2019s phone buzzed with a call from Andy<\/p>\n
\u201cHey, Andy,\u201d Cherise answered.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise, could you come by today? Grandpa needs to discuss something with you,\u201d Andy asked.<\/p>\n
Cherise paused. \u201cWhat\u2019s it about? I\u2019m pretty booked today,\u201d she replied, already planning to treat Morris\u2019s grandmother.<\/p>\n
Andy\u2019s voice was urgent. \u201cIt\u2019s about the engagement your mom set up with Mrs. Chambers for you and Jeffrey Jeffrey\u2019s engagement party with Shirley is soon. I need to know where you stand.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise<\/p>\n
let out a small laugh. \u201cEngagement, huh? Let\u2019s touch base on it when I get back tomorrow.<\/p>\n
After ending the call, Cherise remained unfazed, her expression as calm as before.<\/p>\n
Dora clued Cherise in on the latest, and Cherise just shook her head. \u201cNo wonder she had me targeted before. She probably thought I was after her boyfriend,\u2018 she remarked, her voice steady<\/p>\n
13:27 Tue, Dec 3<\/p>\n
Chapter 28<\/p>\n
Just then, Cherise\u2019s phone buzzed with a message from Morris. Morning. Ready? I\u2019m waiting downstairs<\/p>\n
Cherise: [On my way.]<\/p>\n
[Got it.] Morris\u2019s response came promptly.<\/p>\n
Cherise quickly got dressed, her hair pulled back in a sleek pongal, looking radiant in a simple white T\u2013shirt and black<\/p>\n
jeans.<\/p>\n
Grasping a shoulder bag, she stuffed her phone and essentials inside and departed the apartment<\/p>\n
As they descended the stairs, Cherise noticed Morris,<\/p>\n
with Dora.<\/p>\n
expression melted into a smile as he approached hool and collected, leaning against his Maybach. His usual stoic<\/p>\n
His focus only shifted when he noticed Dora with her.<\/p>\n
After a quick goodbye to Cherise, Dora left, nodding at Morris ashe passed.<\/p>\n
69<\/p>\n
Morris acknowledged the nod, a brief spark of intrigue flashing in his eyes before it vanished. His eyebrows lifted in delight when he realized Cherise knew Dora, the CEO of GlobalVision Group.<\/p>\n
