Chapter 553 Unspoken Feelings
The sound of Lucas’ footsteps faded into the distance, leaving behind a profound silence..
Cherise lifted her gaze, her eyes icy as they met Damien’s. She bit down hard on his arm-
Their long-awaited intimate encounter was brief.
Despite her body’s yearning for more, Damien understood that Cherise was no longer the same
woman he once knew.
In the past, she was a naive student, and he could take advantage of her without reservation.
But now, she was astute, composed, and mature, a respected doctor.
He couldn’t waste her time or damage her reputation.
“Mr. Lenoir.”
Cherise emerged from the bathroom, made herself presentable, but her face still showed a hint of
discomfort, “I can choose to forget what happened.”

funds, not a penny less.”
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something and looked up at Damien, “Additionally, when
making the donation, I hope you can specify that fifteen million of the twenty million should be allocated
to our cardiology department, thank you.”
Damien buttoned up his suit jacket, a faint smile playing on his lips, “Dr. Shaw, you certainly know how
to negotiate.”
“I recall this morning, I only agreed to ten million.”
“Is that so?”
Cherise narrowed her eyes, her sharp gaze fixed on him, “Considering what you just did to the
daughter of the Tanner family, the sister of Ms. Charisa of Miles Manor, I believe charging you ten
million is a bargain.”
“If you disagree with this amount, it’s not a problem.”
“I’ll simply send the photos I took this morning to the media.”
She smiled at him, “Imagine, that picture will be seen by people all over the world.”
“Do you think that’s worth less than ten million, Mr. Lenoir?”
Damien Lenoir’s eyes narrowed slightly, “When did you become so shrewd?”
“I learned a thing or two from you.”
Cherise teased him, her eyes twinkling mischievously, “You wanted to exchange my time for ten
million.”
“In comparison, aren’t you the more cunning one?”

Damien squinted at her, and after a moment, he laughed.
She had indeed changed.
In the past, if he had taken such liberties with her without her consent, she would have been furious,
giving him the cold shoulder for a long time.

He took a deep breath and looked at her, “Since you feel like you’ve been wronged, how about I treat
you to a meal as compensation?”
Cherise glanced at the time; it was already lunchtime.
She chuckled, “Sure.”
After all, she was famished, having just gone through such a strenuous exercise.
As they descended the stairs together, they encountered Lucy who was on her way upstairs.
Lucy frowned deeply, her gaze shifting from Damien to Cherise, whose face was slightly flushed.
She pursed her lips, looking at Cherise with a helpless expression, “You’re hopeless.”
She should have seen it coming.
Cherise’s feelings for Damien… were just too strong.
Even though she had avoided his name like the plague for the past five years, even though she had
always claimed to have forgotten him…
But Lucy knew very well that it was easier said than done,
When she met Damien again, the blush on her face was all Lucy needed to see..
