Chapter 656 Am I Foolish?
At every formal event, she appeared calm and indifferent on the surface, but behind the scenes, she
meticulously prepared her speeches in advance.
What others saw was merely an illusion. In reality, she was still the same endearing Cherise.
Damien looked at her. “If I’m not mistaken, all the content in this notebook is your preparation for
speeches, isn’t it?”
Cherise pursed her lips and nodded awkwardly. I’m not good with words….
Sighing softly, Damien gently rubbed her head. “If you’re not adept at it, why do you insist on speaking
at these meetings?”
He took another notebook from the table, which was filled with writings, and leafed through a few
pages. “You could have delegated the speaking to others.”
“I had no other choice. Cherise pouted. Now that she had been exposed, she didn’t bother maintaining
the facade.
She grabbed a pillow and helplessly leaned against the sofa. “Do you think I enjoy this?”
She buried her small face in the pillow. When she looked up at Damien, her eyes were shimmering.
The director is very proud of me. He brings me to every significant meeting and always requests that I
greet people and deliver speeches…”
The woman sighed in resignation, “Actually, I just want to focus on academic research. Like during my
school days, the monitor would manage his job scope while I focused on being a class representative.”
She hung her head in disappointment. “Isn’t that somewhat pathetic? Every time I share this with Lucy,
she reminds me that a person who can only act but not articulate will miss many opportunities. So, I
taught myself to draft speeches, anticipate potential questions, and formulate responses for each
question.”
Finally, in the presence of Damien, Cherise released her emotions suppressed over the years
She opened a drawer full of notebooks.
These are the notes I prepared for my university lectures over the past two years. Truth be toid, I don’t
particularly enjoy this
Damien lowered his gaze and picked up a notebook from the pile in the drawer
Within, she had meticulously written down what she wanted to teach in the classroom

Damien caressed her hair in resignation. Cherise had thought about avoiding affectionate actions, but
ultimately, she didn’t.
Holding the pillow, she leaned against him, allowing him to stroke her soft hair. “Am I foolish?”
“You’re not.” Damien sighed softly, drawing her into his embrace. “You’re incredibly intelligent, having
crafted a sophisticated and competent facade for yourself.”
“That’s… commendable.”
Even he was nearly deceived by her.
Upon their initial reunion, he genuinely believed she was no longer the naive and clueless Cherise of
the past.
Now it seemed…
She had merely discovered a means to conceal and safeguard herself. But at her core, she still
preserved her inherent kindness and innocence.
For the first time, Cherise didn’t resist Damien’s embrace.
She rested on his shoulder, feeling his steady heartbeat. “After this incident, I plan to speak with the
director so I won’t continue monopolizing the hospital’s resources. Other doctors. should be given an NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
opportunity, too. Perhaps then, such incidents won’t recur.”
Regarding Issac’s incident this time, while on the surface it was Martha being displeased with her, in
fact… It was also because she had taken up too many learning resources in the hospital, leaving other
doctors devoid of opportunities for further study.
