A sense of unease crept over Cherise at this thought. She bit her lip.

“Mr. Belcourt, I didn’t mean to… You know that I suffer from amnesia. After I lose my memory, I often find myself confused. Somehow, I keep forgetting about social cues and etiquette…”

“Ignore him.”

Damien narrowed his eyes and said plainly, “He has a tendency to blow up like this.”

He glanced at Cherise. “What did Lucy come for?”
