Chapter 126 You’ve Been Looking For Me? On her way back to the office, Clarissa saw construction work going on in the lobby. It seemed like the pillar next to the door was broken.
She and Lily parted ways and returned to their respective offices.
The audit department was situated at the top floor. Everyone there seemed uninterested in petty gossip, so Clarissa had no idea if Damien even came to work or not.
In the afternoon, Clarissa made plans with Lily to go shopping, hoping that Madelynn was still busy with work.
She and Lily went back to the same shopping mall, but Madelynn was nowhere to be seen.
Clarissa was somewhat disappointed, but she also felt uneasy.
“Why can’t you just text him and ask where he is?” Lily asked. “What’s the point of doing all this?”
“No.” Clarissa responded firmly, but her eyes were teary.
They went back to the same shop that sold the sandalwood soap after that, only to learn that all were sold out.
The owner said that they were restocking, but the new soaps were still on the way.
Ever since Madelynn started using this soap, Clarissa didn’t want to use it anymore.
“Oh, right! It was Miss Madelynn’s assistant who bought all the sandalwood soaps. I think Miss Madelynn’s nearby.” The owner’s voice was filled with excitement. Never did he expect a celebrity to buy products from him!
“Her?” Clarissa wondered if Madelynn got the soaps from this shop, just like her.
Her gut feeling told her there was something more to this, but she couldn’t figure out just what it was.
Damien wasn’t at home either when she arrived at the mansion.
Clarissa wasn’t able to sleep the entire night. Perhaps because Damien wasn’t there, the bed felt cold to her.
To her surprise, she saw Damien during lunchtime in the company the very next day.
She had just returned from lunch with Lily when she saw Damien talking to Howard by the entrance, right below the construction work.
Damien had his left hand buried in his pants pocket. As he glanced at the entrance, he spotted Clarissa staring at him.
The next second, he turned around and continued what he was doing. He acted as if he didnt see her at all.
“Mr. Lawrence, I transferred Clarissa to the audit department and fired Nicole. I planned to recruit a few more people to make up for their absence. What do you think?” Howard asked Lawrence.
In all honesty, there was no need for Howard to refer to Damien in regards to recruitment. He only wanted to let Damien know that he had fired Nicole.
