Cherise nodded, her eyes fixed on the plush velvet box. Lifting the lid, she found a radiant emerald bracelet, its green. shimmer playing with the light.<\/p>\n
She could tell at a glance it was top\u2013shelf, the kind of bling that didn\u2019t come cheap. Swiftly, Cherise handed the box back to Phoche and said, Phoebe, this is too much. I can\u2019t accept it\u201d<\/p>\n
Catching Cherise\u2019s hesitation, Phoebe replied, \u201cCherise, you saved my life. This bracelet is nothing by comparison. Besides, my grandson has gotten more money than he knows what to do with. Right, Morris?\u201d<\/p>\n
Hovering nearby. Morris took a deep breath and said, \u201cCherise, is my grandmother\u2019s way of saying thanks. You\u2019d hurt her feelings if you didn\u2019t take it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise mulled it over, seeing the sense in his words. She would treat it as payment for her services. \u201cAlright, I\u2019ll take it. Thanks, Phoebe.<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat, that\u2019s what I like to hear!\u201d Phoebe said with a nod, beaming with satisfaction.<\/p>\n
\u201cMrs. Chivers, Ms. Leach, Mr. Chivers, dinner\u2019s on!\u201d Enya called out to everyone.<\/p>\n
Phoebe rose and took Cherise\u2019s hand. \u201cCome on, Cherise. Let\u2019s see what our chef whipped up.<\/p>\n
They filed into the dining room, where a vintage table groaned under a rainbow of dishes: grilled Boston lobster, braised sea cucumber, roasted chicken, goulash soup, and beef stew\u2013Cherise\u2019s favorites. Her eyes lit up like a kid on Christmas morning.<\/p>\n
Catching sight of her excitement, Morris thought how adorable she looked, the urge to pinch her cheek almost irresistible.<\/p>\n
Phoebe had already claimed her spot at the head of the table and motioned for Cherise to sit beside her. \u201cCome, Cherise, right here next to me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cherise dutifully made her way over. Not wanting to be left out, Morris joined them by taking the seat next to Cherise.<\/p>\n
Out of the corner of her eye, Phoebe glanced at Morris, her expression as serene as a still pond.<\/p>\n
Huddled around the grand table, Cherise found herself sandwiched between Phoebe and Morris.<\/p>\n
Phoebe forked a piece of meat and plopped it onto Cherise\u2019s plate. \u201cCherise, you\u2019re skin and bones. Dig in. A little extra padding on a girl is a blessing, right, Morris?\u201d<\/p>\n
Morris agreed with a nod, \u201cYou look great either way.\u201d He followed suit, adding a chunk of lobster to Cherise\u2019s mountain of food.<\/p>\n
Cherise said, \u201cThank you.\u201d Then she dug into her plate.<\/p>\n
Phoebe\u2019s joy was palpable, her eyes crinkling at the corners. She thought, not like those other girls who nitpick every calorie and turn their noses up at everything\u2018<\/p>\n
Throughout the meal, Cherise didn\u2019t need to reach for the dishes; her plate stayed piled high.<\/p>\n
After dinner, Cherise mentioned she had an acupuncture session with Oliver at the Leach residence and was getting ready to leave after a few parting words with Phoebe.<\/p>\n
\u201cCherise, are you leaving already? When can I see you again? Or should I come to you?\u201d Phoebe asked, pulling out her phone. and opening her WhatsApp QR code to add a contact.<\/p>\n
\u201cLet\u2019s get linked on WhatsApp to catch up anytime!\u201d Phoebe added, her eyes sparkling with eagerness.<\/p>\n

10, Dec 5<\/p>\n
Cherise flashed a sweet smile, her dimples on full display, and she scanned the code with her phone, saying, \u201cAll set, Phoebe<\/p>\n
Noticing her eyes weren\u2019t as sharp, Phoche asked Morris to help her set a remark name for Cherise.<\/p>\n
Morris finished and handed the phone back to Phorbe, only to find her looking at him with a triumphant expression. Morris raised an eyebrow, pinched the bridge of his nose, and shook his head in mock surrender.<\/p>\n
Once they were connected on WhatsApp, Cherise grabbed her bag, ready to leave, when Morris, claiming he was heading back to the office, asked for a ride. Together, they walked out of the living room.<\/p>\n
Phoebe and Enya watched them go, their eyes mirroring the reluctance in their hearts.<\/p>\n
As Cherise and Morris\u2019s Porsche Panamera exited the Chivers residence and turned right, a Bentley turned in from the left and slowed down at the entrance.<\/p>\n
Inside the car, Melissa glanced ahead, thinking she had just seen the Porsche Panamera from last night. She wondered, \u2018Could it really be Morris? When did he get a car like that?\u2018<\/p>\n
With a mind full of questions, Melissa slowly rolled down the window and took off her sunglasses, revealing her meticulously made\u2013up face.<\/p>\n
The security guards recognized her as a Chambers and immediately saluted.<\/p>\n
Melissa nodded and sweetly said, \u201cHello there, you\u2019ve had a long day. I\u2019m here to visit Mrs. Chivers. Who was in the car that just left? Was it Morris?\u201d<\/p>\n
The Chivers family\u2019s security guards were well\u2013trained, knowing when to speak and when to stay silent. They stood firm, not uttering a word.<\/p>\n
Seeing she wouldn\u2019t get anything from them, Melissa let the guards open the gate and drove in.<\/p>\n
As soon as Melissa entered the Chivers residence, the butler Greg informed Phoebe, Ms. Chambers has arrived, Mrs. Chivers. She says she\u2019s here to visit you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sitting in the living room\u2019s main seat with a coffee cup in hand, Phoebe shed the warm and fuzzy act she had put on for Cherise.<\/p>\n
Now, Phoebe radiated an air of superiority and authority. She took a sip of her coffee and said slowly, \u201cI doubt she\u2019s here for a friendly visit<\/p>\n
