Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 15

Chapter 15 He Saw It at Once

Clarissa moved into the company’s dormitory. It was just opposite her workplace. She could save on transportation fees and rent.

Lily and two girls from the customer service department were assigned to the same apartment as Clarissa. The rooms that had sunlight were already occupied by the two girls because Lily and Clarissa moved in late. Initially, Lily wanted to argue with the two girls, but Clarissa said, “It’s not like we booked the rooms. Let them have it.”

Only then did Lily leave them alone.

Clarissa let Lily have the bigger room while she occupied the smallest room. There were no windows, so the ventilation was not good. Although it was not summer, the room was stuffy and humid.

The room that faced away from the sunlight was obviously not very good. It was an apartment-based dormitory. There were many other units along the corridor. Clarissa’s unit was already in a bad section and her room had it worse. After washing her clothes, she would dry her laundry in the bathroom before bringing them into the room to remove whatever leftover odor.

She did not have much choice. New East Corporation was situated in a business district. Renting nearby would cost a lot. Moreover, Genovia’s housing prices were one of the highest throughout the country. A fresh graduate’s salary could be completely depleted by just paying rent. Therefore, people had to be smart with their paychecks. Most employees in the New East Corporation would submit an application to rent a room right after they were hired. If they were slow, the results could be disastrous. Clarissa was aware of the situation, so she was not picky.

Her period came on Friday.

She thought to herself, ‘I don’t have to agonize about sex this time when we visit Damien’s grandfather.’

At night, Clarissa received a message from Damien.

[ Stranger: Be prepared. We’re going to my grandpa’s house tomorrow. ]

[ Yes, President Lawrence. Please wait for me near Windmill Cafe. It’s located at the end of the business district.]

She was scared that rumors would spark if her colleagues spotted her with Damien.

On Saturday, Damien went to pick up Clarissa as planned. She got into a different car this time.

It was a Mercedes-Benz with high specifications. Despite that, Clarissa thought it was not as cool as a Maybach. The Mercedes-Benz just looked just like an average luxury car.

Both of them sat behind just like before. They did not talk much.

Suddenly, Damien sniffed and said, “What’s that smell?”

Upon hearing that, Clarissa snaps back to her senses. She inhaled but did not smell anything.

Damien frowned. He eyed Clarissa up and down.

“What is that smell coming from your clothes?”

Clarissa was used to her own odor, so she did not notice anything. She simply felt embarrassed because Damien said an unpleasant smell was coming from her.

After all, she was still a girl.
