He drew in a deep breath, lifted the coffee cup, and downed its contents in one swift motion.

Finally, he turned to Cherise, a faint smile dancing on his lips. "You all need to step up your game."

Cherise's brows furrowed. "We need to step up our game?"

She found herself completely puzzled by Jude's words.

He had summoned her for a discussion, yet within just a few sentences, he was already emphasizing the need to step up our game.

What exactly did he mean?

Could he be more specific?

Before Cherise could articulate her bewilderment, Damien's elegant car pulled up outside the café.

A tall, imposing figure swung open the café's glass door and cast a glance in Cherise's direction. "Should I wait?" he asked.

"No, thank you," she responded.

Jude rose from his seat with an air of composure. "I've just realized there's something I need to discuss with Colin. I'll take my leave now," he said calmly.

With that, he briskly made his way out of the café, his departure swift and purposeful.

Observing Cherise still lost in thought, Damien flashed a gentle smile as he occupied Jude's vacant seat. With a fluid motion, he poured her a glass of lemon-infused water, his movements elegant and deliberate. "Something on your mind that's causing confusion?" he inquired, his tone filled with concern.

"He asked us to step up our game."

Cherise's eyes reflected her perplexity. "I'm not sure I understand what he meant," she admitted.

The man's hand, holding the glass, momentarily stilled, a silent acknowledgment of Cherise's confusion.

He offered a reassuring smile, sliding the glass of lemon water closer to Cherise. "As long as I have a clear understanding, that's what counts," he affirmed.

Cherise found Damien's response somewhat enigmatic, but she opted not to dwell on the perplexing exchange between Jude and Damien.
