Marrying the Man in the Dark

Chapter 1056 Steve's Moment of Truth

Savannah believed that Trent had sent all of these delectable treats.

In a fit of anger, Cherise brought Steve before Savannah. She hoped he would admit that he was the sender.

However, the timid man couldn't muster the courage to speak before his crush. He ended up leaving, his heart heavy with

disappointment.

"I've said my piece," Trent stated, his smile carrying a hint of bitterness. "Apologies for any trouble."

As he was about to hang up, Cherise stopped him.

"Steve," she exhaled deeply, gathering her courage. I genuinely believe you're the one for Savannah. You're dependable and

trustworthy...everything Trent isn't."

"Thanks," Steve responded earnestly. "I value your candor."

Cherise's lips tightened. "I'm not buttering you up. I'm at the Northern Star Hotel. Swing by; there's crucial Savannah business to

discuss."

A beat of silence passed before Steve acquiesced. "Alright. I'll be there."

After hanging up, Cherise drew a deep breath and caught the eye of a man with hidden agendas. "Rise and shine! Steve's on his

way!"

Damien narrowed his gaze. "You could've spilled the beans over the phone."

"Inviting him in person adds a touch of intrigue," she elucidated.

He tousled her hair reassuringly. "Relax, I'm not falling for it. We'll pick up where we left off once Steve's gone."

Cherise pondered inwardly, "This guy's sharp and insightful..."

She'd asked Steve over to soothe both herself and Damien, but he swiftly saw through their intentions.

Thirty minutes later, Steve sat waiting in the Northern Star Hotel restaurant. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Cherise stood poised and ready to go. But before leaving, Damien couldn't resist stealing a passionate kiss, leaving lipstick

smudges on his suit.

Together, they returned to the room to freshen up their appearances.

In that moment, Damien embraced Cherise tenderly, savoring the opportunity to share a passionate moment of intimacy with her.

When they finally met Steve, he had already finished two cups of coffee.

"Apologies for the wait," Cherise said.

Steve smiled warmly, his gaze lingering on Cherise's lips. "You two seem pretty tight."

Realizing his insinuation, Cherise blushed. "Let's stick to the matter at hand: Savannah."

"Savannah's en route to Calais with her ex," Damien stated casually. "Turns out Trent's 'business trip' was a lie."

"He's one of my employees," Damien continued, his tone matter-of-fact. "Keeping tabs on him is a breeze."

Steve grasped the situation.

"Maybe Trent just wanted to whisk her away," he suggested optimistically. "Their relationship seems strong, even if he fibbed with

good intentions."

Cherise shook her head and advised, "Steve, don't be too trusting."

Steve noticed a shift in Cherise's demeanor from the day before.

Now warm, friendly, and approachable, she was unlike the distant and formal person he had encountered before.
