Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 148 She Was Unworthy

Damien passed her a glass. “Can you get me some water?”

“Sure!”

Cherise’s eyes lit up as if given a lifeline. She rushed out of the meeting room.

The pantry on the top floor had no hot water.

Cherise took the stairs and went down a floor.

She heard a few women chatting in the pantry from afar.

“I heard she got her position through unsavory means. She probably had an affair with. Randall. That’s why he gave her the position!”

“Really? If she was Randall’s mistress, how could she have someone like Mr. Lenoir backing her?”

That country bumpkin has no capabilities. She relied on men every step of the way. Is she not ashamed of being the president?”

Those women’s words were like knives stabbing into Cherise’s heart.

Her hand shook as she held the glass.
