Chapter 58
Cherise steered her Porsche Panamera down the lengthy asphalt drive.
The last time she was here, the mood had been heavy, leaving her no room to appreciate the Chivers residence.
Today, she noticed the lush cypresses flanking the drive, standing like rows of valiant soldiers, their solemn grandeur reflecting the Chivers Group’s legacy.

As she pulled up to the main house, Greg and a handful of staff were already waiting. They’d seen Cherise work her medical magic on Phoebe, and now everyone treated her like visiting royalty
Cherise cut the engine and stepped out, with Morris emerging from the passenger side. The staff gaped in astonishment.
Greg blinked in disbelief, his mind racing. ‘Is this for real? Mr. Chivers got out of the passenger side and Ms. Leach drove? Can’t believe this is happening! Mr. Chivers must really value this lady with her amazing medical skills and elegance, he thought.
Murmurs among the staff even suggested Cherise might be the hostess of the Chivers residence one day.
Morris ushered Cherise into the main house, but they hadn’t taken more than a few steps when Phoebe, dressed in a loose maroon ensemble, skipped out with eagerness
“Quickly, my savior’s arrived. No need to assist me. I can move even faster,” she told Enya, who was by her side.
Morris couldn’t suppress a twitching smile at Phoebe’s exuberance.
It was undeniable; after her recovery, Phoebe’s face, once pale and wrinkled, now glowed with health and vitality. Her youthful beauty in Betrico was now evident.
In a flash, Phoebe bypassed Morris and rushed to Cherise. “Ms. Leach, you’ve come to see me. That’s wonderful. I’ve been eager to visit you these past few days, but Morris wouldn’t let me out, insisting I’m not fully recovered.
She continued, “Look at me. I’m bouncing with energy. We must exchange WhatsApp details, and I’ll invite you out privately later.”
bserving Phoebe’s optimistic and proactive approach to life, Cherise was reminded of her own grandmother, and her gaze
Hi, Mrs. Chivers. You’re still on the mend, so it’s best to stay away from the breeze. Mr. Chivers is just watching out for you You’re all he’s got, and if anything happened to you again, it would crush him,” Cherise said gently, her tone understanding. Phoebe held Cherise’s hand, examining her closely. From her bed that day, she had seen Cherise as a vision of loveliness. Phoebe admired her with fresh eyes, Cherise’s brows were willow–like, and her eyes were deep and captivating. Subile makeup highlighted her skin, setting her apart as a vision of classic beauty.
And from what she just heard, Phoebe found Cherise thoughtful and truly likable.
“Ms. Leach, you are a showstopper. I’m completely captivated, Phoebe said, her voice warm.
Cherise let out of laugh and said, “Thank you, Mrs. Chivers, but you can call me Cherise, just like last time.”
Phoebe was increasingly fond of her, finding her neither subser ent nor arrogant, with no falseness in her eyes and such politeness.
“Alright, I’ll call you Cherise, and you can call me Phoebe. Let’s go inside, Phoebe said, taking Cherise’s hand.

Cherise genuinely liked Phoebe too and said with a nod, “Okay, Phoebe
“Sure, Cherise, let’s go!” Phoebe said, leading the way.
Together, Phoebe and Cherise walked towards the living room, leaving Morris behind, who felt a sudden warmth in his heart as he watched them.
In the living room, Cherise had Phoebe lie down on a chaise lounge and checked her over.
After the examination, Cherise smiled at her and said, Phoebe, you’re basically healed, but you still can’t overdo it. You need to sleep early, rise early, exercise, and eat lightly
Looking at Cherise’s patient demeanor, Phoebe quickly nodded and agreed, “Okay!”
Then, she turned to the maid beside her and said, “Enya, could you bring that box from the table in my room?”
“Sure thing.” Enya cheerfully replied, heading towards Phoebe’s room.
Enya, mother to Steven. Leo, and Hugh, had been with the Chivers family for ages. Past retirement age, she’d returned to work after Ruth’s mistake, which, though under duress, was a mistake nonetheless, leading to her dismissal by Phoebe.
Remembering Phoebe’s kindness and feeling spry, she’d asked to come back.
Soon. Enya returned with a red velvet box.
Phoebe took the box and looked at Cherise, saying, “Cherise, I’ll never forget your life–saving grace. I don’t know what you like, but this is a small token of my gratitude. Here, take it and see what’s inside,” she said, pressing it into Cherise’s arms.
Phoebe’s enthusiasm left Cherise unsure of what to do. This is?
Morris came over and said, ‘Cherise, why don’t you take a look inside?”
