He chuckled softly, maintaining Colin's nonchalant tone as he continued, "But why is Damien so taken with you if your figure isn't

all that great?"

Cherise, oblivious to the fact that Damien was right in front of her, replied with a swelling sense of pride, "Don't you know? | have

an irresistible charm! The moment Damien first saw me, he was spellbound, and ever since then, he's beenpletely devoted to

me! You have no idea how smitten he is!" Confident that Damien wouldn't catch on to her boasting to Colin, she exaggerated

further, "He can't bear to be apart fromfor even a day. He's absolutely restless without me!"

"Oh? | can't tell. | never would've thought Damien depended on you so much," Damien remarked, feigning surprise.

"Absolutely! | wasn't keen on him at first, but he kept pursuingrelentlessly. | finally gave him a chance because | sensed his

Damien nodded. "I see." As he poured water for Cherise, his eyes glinted, suggesting he was already plotting how to deal with the

ignorant woman later that evening. Unaware of the looming threat, Cherise continued chatting animatedly, spinning tales of her

and Damien's romantic escapades while watching her si until...

"Cherise, Mr. Lenoir!" Colin called out from across the room as soon as he entered, spotting another version of himself seated

beside Cherise.

Damien glanced over casually. "Mm. Are you done?"

"Yeah. | just escorted that woman home. It was quite a hassle!" Colin rushed over and settled beside Damien. "When did you

arrive?"

"I've been here for a bit," Damien replied casually.

The exchange between the two men in front of her left Cherise utterly perplexed. She stared at them, both clad in matching black

suits, their appearances almost identical. "You... both of you..." The man who had long been there appeared distant andposed,

whereas the man who had just arrived smiled warmly. The former had deep brownish-black eyes, while the latter's eyes were deep

blue, like the sea.

Cherise paused for a moment, furrowing her brow before asking, "S-Sweetheart, when did you get here?"

"I've been here for a bit," the man said casually as he poured her a glass of water. "Since you started talking about Violet."

heart raced as she admitted, "What | said earlier... it was all nonsense."

"I can tell," Damien remarked.

Cherise remained silent, her expression shifting uneasily.

Colin glanced at Cherise's changing expressions. He turned to Damien, puzzled. "What were you two talking about?"

"We were discussing sof Mrs. Lenoir's fantasies, including my initial pursuit of her," Damien explained.

Colin was momentarily taken aback, but then he chuckled in realization. "Ah, | get it!" With that, he quickly rose and moved to the

table behind Cherise. After taking two steps, he couldn't help but turn back to deliver a blunt truth to Cherise, "I'm sorry. | didn't

realize you'd like to discuss your history with Mr. Lenoir with me."
