I Quit Being a Stepmother (Cypress Gem) novel Chapter 504

Chapter 504

Before getting into the car, Damian noticed that Rhea and George were going to drive to the restaurant themselves. After a moment’s thought, he said to Kate, “You can ride with me.”

She flashed him a polite, grateful smile. “Thanks for the offer, Mr. Frost.”

“It’s no trouble at all. We’ve got another translator coming, too,” Damien said.

Soon, Lauren appeared at the hotel entrance and jogged over. Damian’s driver called out, “Hop in with Mr. Frost.

Lauren nodded. “Thanks, Mr. Frost!”

There were four seats in the car. Kate quickly claimed a spot in the back next to Damian, leaving Lauren to sit up front. Kate figured that letting Lauren sit there all alone while she chatted away with Damian in the back would put her in her place and remind her to behave if she wanted to stay at Solaris Ventures.

Lauren fastened her seatbelt, noticing Kate in the back.

The car started moving.

Damian struck up a conversation with Kate. “I heard you’ve got a wide range of hobbies.”

Her confidence swelled at his initiative. Sawyer’s name was proving useful. She smiled and said, “Sort of. I enjoy a variety of artistic pursuits, including music, calligraphy, and painting. My parents got me into them when I was young, and over time, I grew to love them.”

“That’s great. You do strike me as someone who’s into the arts. Such hobbies tend to keep people calm and grounded,” Damian said.

Out of nowhere, Lauren asked, “Mr. Frost, how bad is your short–sightedness?”

Damian blinked, caught off guard. He wasn’t an overbearing boss. He actually enjoyed casual chats with employees, which shaped Solaris Ventures‘ laid–back culture.

“About 200 degrees,” he answered, not brushing Lauren off despite her being just a translator.

She nodded. “You should take care of your eyes, Mr. Frost. Try to avoid looking at things that strain them.”

Like that pretentious trash sitting next to him!
