If Clarissa had to guess, Damien was probably bringing his grandfather over to live with him. After all, leaving an old man all by himself in Florin could be rather worrisome. If Damien’s grandfather was coming over, there had to be at least a wedding photo in his home. Did that also mean Clarissa had to move in with Damien?On Saturday, Clarissa followed the address Damien gave her and went to a large photography studio. Damien was already there. Clarissa changed into a bridal dress. The size was a good fit. She could not help but think about the stare Damien gave her. He memorized her measurements with just a glance. His accuracy was quite impressive. When she came out, Damien seemed to be taken aback. Words like “in the prime of her youth”, “graceful figure”, and “beautiful face” were not enough to describe Clarissa. The pearl necklace on her chest accentuated her collarbone. She really looked young and bright. Seeing Clarissa in a white bridal dress, the words, ‘I’ll hol
Clarissa finally figured it out. Joseph Moore's request to follow her on Instagram prior was not a coincidence. He was not a scammer either. It was the rich man’s son that her brother had mentioned before. In fact, Joseph was a polite and talented person. Clarissa admired him. Introducing him to her might have been her brother’s one-sided wish. Clarissa smiled and said, “Asking you questions about economic law will be more convenient in the future, Mr. Moore.” “That’s right. In a few days, I’ll prepare some practice papers for you. Economic law is the easiest paper. You can pass by simply memorizing everything. As long as you’re willing to put in the effort, nothing will be a problem,” Joseph replied while adding remarks to Clarissa’s contact. Her name was saved as “Bunny In A Flower” in his contacts.“Clarissa, we haven’t celebrated your success in landing a permanent position at New East Corporation! I heard their standards were very high. My sister is truly outstanding.”
Damien thought Clarissa had met Joseph yesterday. Otherwise, Joseph would not suddenly send so many messages. There was also the possibility they would message this much every day and he simply did not know.On the other hand, Damien was slightly relieved. It seemed like Clarissa had credibility. “In the future, be more honest. Tell me if you have any needs.” Damien leaned against the bed and lit up a cigarette. Clarissa did not say anything and just closed her eyes. How was she “dishonest”? This incident made her feel pressured. Regardless, she remembered being desperate to meet him before this. She had truly fallen in love with someone she should not. After having sex, Clarissa laid down facing the opposite side. However, she could not fall asleep. She only saw Joseph’s message after turning on her phone.At last, she understood why Damien was acting that way. He must have seen Joseph’s messages on her phone’s display and misunderstood. Damien thought Joseph was Clarissa’
Clarissa was awakened by her phone. There was a message from Luke. [ Sis, aren’t you looking for a caregiver for mom? Someone introduced me to one and I heard she’s very skilled. Can you follow me to check her out? ]The message was followed by a hotel address. Clarissa thought, ‘My brother has finally done something right.’Since she had just quarreled with Damien, being together was uncomfortable. So, Clarissa told him that she wanted to get out of the car. After that, she took a taxi to the hotel. When Clarissa arrived at the specified hotel, she went to “Room 1402”. Luke was already waiting inside. Upon seeing his sister, Luke’s face lit up. It was as if he was trying to win her favor. “You’ve come.”“Why did the caregiver ask to meet up in a hotel?” Clarissa looked around. She kept feeling that something was off. “She’s taking care of another patient in this hotel. She’ll be done soon. Just wait for a while and drink some water.” As Luke spoke, he poured his sis
Clarissa feared that Luke would concoct more dirty tricks. She said to Joseph, “Mr. Moore, let’s leave right away. I’m worried that my brother will come back.”“Don’t be scared. I’m here. You can rest first.”“No. You don’t know my brother. He'll entrap us both.” Clarissa had gotten up from the bed. She was wearing an innocent-looking white dress. Her clothes were utterly wet. It stuck to her body, revealing her curves. The situation was really awkward.Joseph only got a quick glance, but his ears reddened. He turned his head around, took off his jacket, and put it on Clarissa. Shortly after, they were on the hotel’s first floor. Joseph wanted to give Clarissa a ride back. However, she was afraid of being spotted by her colleagues. It would be difficult to explain if Damien found out. Therefore, she said, “There’s no need. Thank you, Mr. Moore.”“Will you be fine by yourself?” Joseph was worried. “It’s just a short distance away. I can get home just by walking.” Clarissa
Damien walked into the company’s lobby with his hands in his pockets. A pretty silhouette entered his line of sight. He was slightly stunned. Madelynn was looking at a painting hung in the lobby named “The Snowy Sky” with her back toward him. When she heard footsteps coming from behind her, she turned her head. “Damien? Long time no see.”Madelynn approached Damien with a smile. She wore an elegant and extravagant dark green dress with high heels of the same color. Part of her fair calves was revealed. They could easily make men’s imaginations run wild. Her curly hair was lustrous and charming. Additionally, she had a classy emerald ring on her finger. Overall, she looked like a mature, noble, and seductive woman. Since there were quite a lot of people around them, Damien said to Madelynn, “It’s been a while. Come to my office.” “Okay.” Madelynn grinned. She followed Damien into the elevator. A few female receptionists that had seen Madelynn’s graceful figure could not
After Clarissa returned to her apartment, she bathed and changed her clothes. The discomfort caused by the drug gradually faded away. She lay on her bed and thought of the incident, getting increasingly angry. How could her brother do such a thing? He did not care about their mother and even set his biological sister up. Moreover, Damien would not listen to her explanation. Clarissa did not know what to do. Shortly after, Lily came back from work. She asked worriedly, “Are you okay, Clarissa?”Clarissa felt limp. “I’m okay. What’s wrong?”Lily recalled the rumors she had heard from her colleagues earlier. She worried that her best friend was being bullied. Hence, she quickly said, “You… Didn’t get into a fight with President Lawrence, right? I heard a woman was looking for him at the company just now. He even let her use his private elevator…”“Oh, so what about it?”“They’re all saying that she’s President Lawrence’s ex-girlfriend…”Lily’s words were less offensive than
On Thursday, Clarissa received a message from Damien.[ Stranger: Take Monday off. We’re going to fetch my grandpa. ][ Monday? ] Clarissa hated that she had to keep taking leaves. That was why she asked again on purpose. [ Stranger: Is there a problem? ]Damien’s question had a tone that Clarissa could not retort. [ What time? ][ Stranger: 3:00 p.m. We’ll return on Tuesday morning. ]Clarissa thought that she only had to take two hours off and was happy. Suddenly, she received another message. [ Clarissa, I’ve found Zach’s diary. Do you want it? ]It was a message from Zach’s mother, Kylie Thompson. [ Of course. Where can I pick it up? ] Clarissa was excited. [ It’s at the primary school where Zach used to teach voluntarily. We had already taken all of his other belongings. They only found this diary afterward. I thought you'd want it. You can contact the headmaster. ]After that, Kylie sent Clarissa a picture of the headmaster’s business card. The headmaster s
