Cherise’s heart quickened its pace within her chest, racing with apprehension.

Could it be?

Was her meticulously crafted escape plan unraveled too soon?

Contrary to the scandalous rumors that swirled around her, no journalist could have fathomed finding her concealed within the confines of such a filthy receptacle!

As the footsteps outside dwindled into silence, a fresh set of resolute footfalls approached, each bearing an air of elegant indifference.

Not only had she failed to shake off the relentless pursuit of those shady journalists, but now she was about to be caught squatting in a trash can, which would undoubtedly bring immense shame upon herself.

She held the esteemed position of Damien’s wife, who presided over the Lenoir Group!

The humiliation weighed heavily, proving too much to bear!

She could already imagine the scandalous headlines, picturing her grimy face amidst the garbage.

No way!

She couldn’t cause embarrassment to her husband!

Lost in her distress, Cherise was startled by the sudden cessation of footsteps.

Then, as someone lifted the trash can lid, sunlight flooded in, causing Cherise to squint, clench her teeth, and bow her head in resignation.

She anticipated the journalists would either pull her qut of the trash can or, at the very least, tip it over, revealing her shameful predicament to all.

But to her surprise, the person who lifted the lid remained still momentarily.

Perplexed, Cherise heard a voice from above, tinged with a mix of helplessness and amusement. “Mrs. Lenoir, want me to take this trash can home?”

Cherise was utterly shocked!

The voice-clearly Damien’s-sent a surge of excitement through her, warming her heart instantly.
