Chapter 914 Our Old Meeting Place
“I’m not sure,” Damien replied.
Damien lightly closed his eyes. Cherise had been preoccupied with something since morning.
He had asked her about it, but since she didn’t say anything, he decided not to press the matter further.
However, he was still feeling uneasy about it, so he ordered, “Let Blake follow her and ensure her safety.”
Cherise drove to Shawberry by herself.
She chose not to have Mr. Kolson drive, nor did she opt for a taxi.
After all, the distance from Adonia to Shawberry wasn’t too far, and many taxi drivers were reluctant to make the trip.
During the journey, Cherise pondered how to broach the topic of the conflict between the Lenoir Group and the Weiss Group with Sebastian. Unbeknownst to her, a black BMW had been tailing her since she left the Lenoir Group building.
Thirty minutes later, Cherise’s car pulled up in front of an old fried chicken shop in Shawberry.
It had been a while since she last visited Shawberry. Everything about the place felt both familiar and unfamiliar to her.
The warmth and the scent of home were familiar, while the faces around her were unfamiliar.
So many years had passed, and the friends she had during her school days had all drifted apart.
Taking one final deep breath to calm her heart, Cherise pushed open the clean glass door and entered.
Inside, Sebastian sat by the window, smiling downward as he played with his phone.
From Cherise’s vantage point, she could see that Sebastian’s phone displayed their junior high school class photo.
It wasn’t a graduation photo but a class picture taken in the second half of their second year of junior high before they were reshuffled in the third year.
Shortly after the photo was taken, Sebastian had to leave due to family reasons.
On the day of his departure, he bid farewell to Cherise, “We will meet again in the future!”
At that time, Cherise smiled and nodded, “Okay.”
Deep down, she knew that this parting might mean never seeing each other again in this lifetime.
As the workload of the third year piled up, Cherise completely forgot about her chubby desk mate, never imagining that the chubby boy, Sebastian Weiss, would transform into the person he is today.

She never anticipated that he would come from a prominent family or that he would become a formidable rival to her husband.
chaps from hearing Cherise’s footsteps, Sebastian instinctively looked up.
His slender eves curved slightly when he saw Cherise You actually came,” he said, his eyes twinkling Yes,” Cherise replied with a smile as she took a seat agross from him. “This shop is still here.”
Actually, this shop has long been gone,” Sebastian explained with a faint smile, “When I returned, it had been turned into a clothing store”
He continued, “After some inquiries, I discovered that the previous owner of this shop had made a fortune selling fried chicken and relocated.”
“But this place holds memories for me”
Sebastian smiled and gestured to the waitress, “Bring is our order!”
The waitress was the same woman who used to serve Cherise during her school days.
However, back then, she was still in her prime and exided beauty and charm. She was always smiling at the students, and a lot of them harbored secret crushes on her.
Cherise noticed the woman’s limp and forked smile. “You…” Cherise said, her eyes widening.
The woman awkwardly explained, “I had a car accident a few years ago, so this leg is practically useless.”
Tve only recently been able to walk on it again.
