Chapter 284 You Mustnât Go to Her House
âIf you do not want to wake up Mrs. Lenoir, we can⊠provide you two with the most luxurious lounge.â
Damien smiled. He leaned down and gently carried Cherise. âNever mind, my wife is not that delicate.â
Then, he suddenly recalled something. âWhereâs the person she drank with?â
âMy boss took her away.â
The manager smiled. âIâve never seen my boss holding a lady until today. He carried her like it was the most natural thing.â
Damien laughed. âHeâs probably still unaware of how much that person means to him.â
âRodney Savelâ
That was why he was so frustrated by the news of Lucy having a boyfriend that he sought Blake for a brawl.
It was nearly noon the following morning when Cherise woke
Her phone was ringing.
She blearily grabbed the phone and said, âHello?â
âCherise, Iâm Rodney Savel.â
The man on the phone sounded anxious. âDo you know where Lucy is?â
Cheriseâs thoughts were hazy from a hangover. âRodney Savel?â
Who?
âIâm from the neighboring cla*s.â
The man explained patiently, âI invited Lucy out on a date, but she stood me up a few times.â
Cherise closed her eyes and considered for some time. She vaguely recalled someone of that description. StillâŠ
âHow did you get my number? Why are you looking for Lucy?â
âItâs about this.â
Rodney took a deep breath and continued, âAround three to four days ago, when you were on leave, Lucy approached me and asked me to be her boyfriend.â

âSo, we are now dating.â
âWe agreed to meet in the library today for a study date. Iâve been waiting for her for half an hour.â
Rodney sounded worried. âI called her a while ago, but a man answered. I thought he was her father, so I called him âMr. Staberâ and introduced myselfâŠâ
âBut the man became angry and hung up.â
âI tried to call her again, but her phone has been turned off.â
Rodney sighed and continued, âI was too rash. I only realized afterward that the man sounded.
young.
âHe could be Lucyâs brother or cousin⊠but I didnât realize it then.â
Then, he added dejectedly, âCherise, I got your number from someone in your cla*s.â
âDo you
know Lucyâs address? I wish to go there and apologize to her brother or cousin. I also want to pick up Lucy for our date.â
The series of shocking information jolted Cherise wide awake.
Cherise thought back to the dinner with Lucy last night. Lucy had indeed told her that she had a boyfriend.
However, Cherise did not expect Rodney to be that boyfriend.
Cherise remembered who Rodney was. His appearance was far from pleasant.
Did Lucy really⊠ask him to be her boyfriend?
Also, Lucy doesnât have a brother!
She has a cousin, but he would never be with her. Since her mother pa*sed away, her father has been estranged from all their relatives!
Cherise breathed in deeply. She may be confused by the situation, but she was not stupid.
Thus, she pursed her lip and said, âPlease wait for a moment. Iâll call Mr. Staber to confirm with him.â
Rodney seemed impatient. âWe can just go to her house. Why go through so much trouble?â
âWe must call first.â
Cherise felt annoyed. âAs Lucyâs boyfriend, you should know that you mustnât simply go to her
house.â
