Chapter 844 Return To The Research Institute
Cherise had already informed Mr. Whitlock yesterday that she would return to work today. Yet, here she
was, absent for the entire morning. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
"You can go tomorrow," Damien smiled and gently tousled Cherise's hair. "I've spoken to Mr. Whitlock
on your behalf."
Cherise, holding a bowl of oatmeal, paused slightly. "What did you tell him?"
Damien's stern voice carried a hint of amusement. "I told him that you and I plan to have a third and
fourth child. So, you might need to take a day off at home."
Cherise was shocked.
This scoundrel! How could he embarrass me like that?
Cherise held her spoon hesitantly. She had lost her appetite, but she feared he would tease her again if
she did not eat.
After a while, she reluctantly swallowed the oatmeal. "I don't care. I have to go to work this afternoon."
Since the morning was already lost and irretrievable, she could not skip the afternoon either. She
refused to let her colleagues and superiors think she was an employee who indulged excessively and
kept slacking off from work.
Damien shrugged. "If you insist on going, I'll have Mr. Kolson take you there later."
He had matters to deal with in the afternoon and could not always stay home with her. Thus, he thought
her going to work was also a good choice. At least she would not be so bored.
...
After lunch, Cherise dug out her long-unused office clothes. Then, Mr. Kolson sent her to the research
institute.
The research institute seemed unusually lively today, with flowers and balloons at the entrance.
Cherise rubbed her temples helplessly and smiled. Her colleagues probably prepared these things to
welcome her.
Last night, she had seen Heather discussing organizing a welcome party with her colleagues in the
WhatsApp group.
Cherise felt even more guilty as she thought about this. Her colleagues must have waited for her to
return, yet she was late. Thus, she entered the research institute, intending to apologize.
When she entered, she saw Heather's face stained with colorful cake icing.
"Dr. Shaw?" Heather looked at Cherise in shock. "Why... why are you back today?"
Then, as if fearing others would discover Cherise, Heather quickly pulled her into the stairwell. "Aren't
you on vacation for a long time?"
Cherise was stunned. "I..."
"Dr. Shaw, your vacation isn't over yet. You should go home and enjoy it. Why come to the research
institute?"
After saying that, she began to push Cherise towards the back door. "Listen to me. Go home first..."
However, before she could finish speaking, someone called out to her. "Heather, who are you talking to
over there?" Updated at Draмаnоvеls.cоm
Thus, Cherise turned around and smiled to greet the colleague. "Hi, it's me. I'm back."
Seeing Cherise's smile, the colleague was stunned for a moment. Then, her eyes widened in horror as
if she had seen a ghost. "Cherise?"
