NovelEnglishMy Billionaire Family 266 While Cherise was talking to Xenia on the phone, the elevator arrived. So they ended the call. Once in the elevator, Cherise casually opened WhatsApp, and sure enough, Xenia had sent a photo.
She opened the chat and clicked on the photo. Her eyes gradually widened. The person in the photo was Jason's grandma. She looked a lot like Cherise. Cherise thought she saw it wrong. There was a resemblance, but something seemed different. Turning to Hugh beside her, she asked, "Hugh, do you think the person in this photo looks like me?" Hugh leaned in for a closer look. "It does look a lot like you, but there's an extra mole on her chin. Otherwise, I would have thought it was you, Ms. Leach." Cherise nodded. It really did look like her. Squinting closer, she saw the nMegan written in the bottom right corner. That was a nTruman's grandpa, Gavino, had mentioned before.
No wonder the first tRayburn saw her, he said she looked like someone he knew. And then there was Mr. Gavino and Rita, who always carried a faint scent of candle. No wonder they mistook her for someone else at first glance.

She lifted her gaze ahead, a flicker of confusion flashing in her eyes for a moment. They were almost at the top floor. Cherise put her phone away. She'd ask Jason about it the next tshe bumped into him.
She wondered what the deal with Jason and Xenia was and how his grandma's photo ended up in her hands. "Hmm, there's a story here!" ***** At the CEO's office of Chivers Group, Morris was more than frustrated that Cherise stood him up. Now he was more than angry that none of the proposals from the planning department met his expectations.
"You all have been working here for over 10 years, right? Even a new graduate could do a better job on this project proposal than you guys! And then there's this. The company's budget report shows the third quarter's profit estimate is way too low!" As he spoke, he frowned, looking like he thought the whole world was out to get him.
The two managers from the planning department stood sweating in front of the desk, afraid they'd be tossed out any moment by the man in front of them.
Morris didn't ask them to redo it, nor did he allow them to make changes. They simply stood there quietly, enduring the awkward tension.
Leo and Steven also felt a bit helpless. It was nearly 9 PM, and they still hadn't eaten dinner.
A few seconds later, a small head peeked in from the doorway. Seeing it was pretty quiet inside, a gentle voice asked, "Can I cin?" Upon hearing this voice, Steven and Leo were the first to breathe a sigh of relief.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMorris was surprised, unsure of how long Cherise had been standing at the door and whether she had overheard his recent fit of anger. He felt guilty inside, but all his previous feelings of dissatisfaction seemed to fade away the moment her voice was heard. "Cin!" Morris said in a loving tone. His voice was soft and warm, a complete change from his earlier irritability.
The two managers from the planning department had never seen Morris act this way before, feeling a mix of surprise and anxiety.
But it was mostly a surprise. Just a moment ago, Morris had been in a foul mood, and then his whole demeanor hearing instantly upon 's voice. Turned out the company chat rumors were true. Morris was in love. Cherise opened the door, walked in, smiled at the others, and found a seat to sit down quietly. She was like a cute and fluffy little bunny.
Morris couldn't help but smile at the sight. But with others in the office, he held back a wide grin. He spoke in a tone completely different from his earlier grumpy one, "Let's go with this plan this time. You did a good job.
"It's late, let's call it a day!" "Yes, we'll head out now!" Although the two department heads looked confused, they quickly picked up the proposal and left the office when they heard him. Once outside, the earlier tension finally eased.
They thought the world was getting strange. Just half an hour ago, the plan was rejected, and now it was approved. They were even told to go were even told to go heally praised for their good work. Moments ago, Morris said it wasn't even as good as what a new graduate would do. Besides, they usually had to work until almost midnight before clocking out of the office. Cherise was their savior. They hoped she visited Chivers Group more often, even if just to sit quietly. They even thought it would be even better if she could marry Morris right now.
