Chapter 55<\/p>\n
Cherise glanced up and found a well\u2013mannered, clean\u2013cut guy standing nearby. He was quite the looker, but there was something off\u2013putting about being approached by a stranger.<\/p>\n
As she was about to decline, a cold, deep voice cut through the a \u2018Cherise can\u2019t drink. Sir, you\u2019ve had a wasted trip\u201d<\/p>\n
Recognizing the voice, Cherise turned to see Morris indeed ther. \u201cWhat brings you here?\u201d she asked.<\/p>\n
Morris strolled over to Cherise, gently tucking a strand of hair behind her ear. The gesture was intimate, but it didn\u2019t make Cherise uncomfortable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was just having dinner and saw you. Thought I\u2019d come say hi, Morris replied, his tone casual.<\/p>\n
The man, witnessing Morris\u2019s familiarity with Cherise, realized there might be something special between them and was relieved he hadn\u2019t overstepped.<\/p>\n
Feeling a bit intimidated, he raised his glass towards Morris and nodded respectfully. \u201cSo it\u2019s Mr. Chivers. My apologies for the intrusion. I won\u2019t disturb your dinner any further!\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris acknowledged the man with a nod, and the man quickly retreated to his seat.<\/p>\n
From a distance, Steven and Leo observed the scene. \u201cHe\u2019s on the move and going to stake his claim!\u201d Steven remarked.<\/p>\n
Other men in the restaurant, who had been considering approaching Cherise, quelled their eagerness upon seeing Morris\u2019s arrival.<\/p>\n
Once the man left, Morris politely nodded at Dora before naturally taking a seat next to Cherise.<\/p>\n
The waiter, noticing Morris had sat down, promptly brought a set of utensils and a glass of red wine. Morris glanced at Cherise\u2019s empty steak plate and asked, \u201cCherise, was the steak here to your liking?\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise looked back at Morris and replied, \u201cIt was good, but not as good as yours.\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris felt a swell of pleasure inside. The thought that Cherise missed something he made was surprisingly delightful. \u201cYou\u2019re always welcome to come to Unit 2602 whenever you crave it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Dora, across from them, looked puzzled, thinking, \u2018Morris actually cooked for Cherise, and Unit 2602? She questioned, \u201cWait, what\u2019s Unit 2602?\u201d<\/p>\n
Seeing Dora\u2019s confusion, Cherise explained, \u201cMr. Chivers moved to Glenshire Gardens for convenience, Unit 2002, next to my door.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dora put down her cutlery, staring at Morris, thinking. This man is unparalleled in his pride and beauty, yet his actions are so underhanded:<\/p>\n
\u2018Oh, no! Cherise is brilliant in other areas, but she\u2019s a blank slate when it comes to love. She\u2019s doomed to be completely swept off her feet by this cunning man! Dora pondered.<\/p>\n
Perhaps it was the extra glass of juice, but Cherise excused herself to the restroom.<\/p>\n
Morris signaled for Leo to keep an eye on her and then turned to Dora, taking a sip of his wine. \u201cMs. Xenakis, you seem to have some hostility towards me?\u201d<\/p>\n
Dora pondered for a moment before responding seriously, \u201cMr. Chivers, I don\u2019t care about your intentions towards Cherise, but I\u2019ll tell you this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Chapter 55<\/p>\n
She went on. \u201cIf you hurt her in any way, even if you\u2019re the migly president of Chivers Group, I will fight you with everything I have. Even if it costs me my life!\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris smiled faintly, \u201cCherise must be someone important to live the president of GlobalVision Group so concerned. Is she the person I\u2019m looking for. Ms. Xenakis?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, she\u2019s not.\u201d Dora denied it quickly.<\/p>\n
After hearing this, Morris smiled again, and then his expression turned serious. \u201cNo matter who Cherise is, I\u2019m committed to her for life.\u201d<\/p>\n
He added, \u201cCall it infatuation or love at first sight, and I accept it. In this life, I will protect her, even if it costs me my life!\u201d<\/p>\n
Dora, after hearing this, said nothing more. At the same time, Cherise returned from the restroom.<\/p>\n
After dinner, the group walked to the elevator area. Morris looked at Cherise and said, \u201cCherise and I happen to live on the same floor, so I won\u2019t trouble you for a ride, Ms. Xenakis. I\u2019ll go back with her.<\/p>\n
Cherise looked up at Morris and said, \u201cBut I bought a car today and need to drive it back myself<\/p>\n
At that, Dora, Steven, and Leo inwardly scoffed at this.<\/p>\n
Unfazed, Morris continued, \u201cThat works out perfectly. I\u2019ll ride with you, and Steven and Leo have other engagements.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leo caught on quickly and chimed in, \u201cOh! Yeah, my mom\u2019s calling us home for a matchmaking session. Steven, let\u2019s go.\u201d Leo dragged Steven towards the elevator.<\/p>\n
Dora inwardly despised Morris, thinking, \u201cThis man has no limits when it comes to pursuing a girl. Cherise doesn\u2019t stand a chance against him.<\/p>\n
She sighed and said, \u201cI have some work to take care of at the company. Cherise, I\u2019ll leave you in Mr. Chivers\u2019s hands.\u201d With that, she seemed to warn Morris with a look before turning to leave.<\/p>\n
