Chapter 125 A Five-percent Increment

“Hubby, you’re seven years older than me, and you’re my family. That makes you my guardian.” In fact,

Lucy proposed this logic to Cherise, and she found it reasonable.

Holding the phone, Damien remained silent for a moment. “Okay. I’ll be right over.”

“Sure. I’ll wait for you, Hubby!”

Damien hummed in response and ended the call with a smile.

The staff sat nervously in their seats, watching Damien end the call. His slender fingers. elegantly

placed the phone on the table.

“I didn’t ask for the meeting to pause.”

The hint of gentleness vanished from his tone. According to Para 82 of the company’s employee

regulation, no one, for any reason, is allowed to interrupt a meeting.”

There was a deadly silence in the room. “I violated the rule just now, but none of you stopped me. For

this, everyone present should reflect and write a 20000-word statement.”

The staff were dumbstruck. “Also, I’m in a good mood today. Everyone will receive a five percent

increment in their salary this month. Meeting adjourned.”

With that, he wheeled himself out of the meeting room, leaving the employees cheering.

When he entered the lift, a faint smile remained on his face. Perhaps he was influenced by Cherise; in

the past, he never cared about his staff’s feelings.

“Mr. Lenoir!”

When Mr. Kolson pushed Damien out of the lifi on the first floor, a woman in a red dress. walked up to

Damien. “Mr. Lenoir, I’m here to apologize. I…”

Damien waved his hand without saying a word.

Mr. Kolson frowned. “Miss, my boss has an important matter to attend to. Please come back tomorrow

if you have any agenda.”

Then, he pushed Damien away, disregarding the woman’s expression.

The woman stood in the lobby as a gloomy expression spread across her face.

Meanwhile, in Adania University….

“Cherise, can you handle this yourself?” Lucy stood at the entrance of the staff room and looked at

Cherise worriedly.

Cherise smiled at Lucy and her father, who was standing behind her. “Don’t worry. It’s not dark yet. My

husband should be here soon.”

Lucy bit her lips. Moments later, she finally left under her father’s urging.

Shortly after she left, the additional mathematics teacher returned to the staff room. “Cherise, it’s

almost evening. Where’s your guardian?”

Cherise looked at her watch and mumbled, “He’s probably stuck in traffic.”

It shouldn’t take this long to come from home. Even if he’s coming from the Shaw Group, he should

Just as Cherise was complaining inwardly, someone knocked on the door.

Frowning, the teacher wore a solemn expression before uttering coldly, “Come in.”

Mr. Kolson opened the door and pushed Damien into the room.

The teacher furrowed her brows when she saw them. “You’re…”

“I’m Cherise’s guardian.” Damien spoke calmly while the teacher carefully scrutinized him.

He was dressed in a black suit with black silk over his eyes. Despite his disability, he exuded a noble

and aloof aura.

The teacher was puzzled. If she remembered correctly, Cherise was from a poor family. So, she didn’t

expect her guardian to look like this.

“Teacher, may I know what trouble Cherise caused that you must urgently summon her guardian?”

Damien asked nonchalantly while the teacher was confused.
