Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 159

Chapter 159 She Was His First Love

Connie was satisfied to see the crowded lobby

“Hey, Connie.” Clarissa soon spotted Connie. “Let’s go.”

“Okay, give me a minute. I have to pass my car keys to someone.” Connie reached for the keys in her bag

Joseph, who was standing in the lobby, turned his face to the billboard and pretended to read the leaflets there the moment he saw the crowd exiting the lift.

No one seemed to have noticed Joseph.

“Oh, right. Clarissa, is he your husband?” Connie asked all of a sudden, making sure she raised her voice.

“What? Who?” Clarissa still hadn’t seen Joseph.

Instinctively, Clarissa thought that Damien had arrived. Her expression grew serious as her eyes scanned the crowd

When her colleagues heard the words ‘Clarissa’ and ‘husband’, they stopped in their tracks and shifted their eyes on her.

After all, President Lawrence and Clarissa were always the topics of gossip.

Everyone gathered around to listen to the drama that was about to ensue.

“I’m talking about Joseph. I saw you guys that night,” Connie said.

At this point, everyone had surrounded Clarissa and Connie.

The workers around began to giggle as they watched Connie making a fool of herself.

Nobody had told her anything that went on in the company. Right now, they were all waiting for Connie to embarrass herself even further.

Connie, still unaware of the truth, thought her colleagues were laughing at Clarissa for having an incompetent husband.

Right at this moment, Damien and Ray had just returned to the company.

Standing outside the crowd, they could see and hear everything loud and clear.

“Huh? When did you see us together?” Clarissa’s eyes went wide with disbelief, ‘What nonsense is she cooking up? Why is she doing this to me in front of everyone?’

“It was during Easter night. I saw the two of you watching the fireworks together while chatting merrily with each other. After that, you guys even went back to the hotel together. Isn’t he your husband?”

Noticing that Clarissa was being put in a tight spot, Joseph wanted to explain.

But Clarissa, who was now being thrust into the limelight, was feeling extremely awkward.

Without bothering to leave any explanation, she left.

Jostling through the crowd from the side, she didn’t spot Damien outside.

Clarissa now knew Connie had lied about wanting to visit her mother. Connie called her down here just to humiliate her in front of everyone!

“You remember the time you’re still suffering from an eye injury? After you were admitted into the ward, I remember a girl waiting patiently for you in front of the boiler room. The moment she saw you, she held your hand. She even switched off the lights before leaving. I remember seeing her when I came to visit you. Back then, Clarissa was just a teenager. She’s become even prettier now.”

Ray was relieved to have finally remembered memories from the past.

“What did you say?” The moment he reached his office, Damien lit up a cigarette and threw the lighter to the table.

His insides felt all warm and mushy after listening to Ray’s words.

Actually, Damien had already guessed Clarissa’s identity a while back. After all, the scent of her soap and the touch of her hand were oddly familiar to him.

However, things were beyond repair at this point, not after she had decided to see Joseph without his knowledge.

Even though she was Damien’s first love, Clarissa had never seen Damien in the same light. Back then, she simply saved him out of instinct.

The moment she attended university, she immediately got herself a boyfriend. Even after they were married, she was still flirting with Joseph.

Damien concluded that he was never a special existence to her. Now, everyone in New East knew that Clari:

Damien knew that as long as Clarissa harbored sympathy for Joseph, things would get out of hand sooner or later

Unfortunately, his speculations turned out to be true.

“Let’s continue work tomorrow. I’m leaving.” Without waiting for Ray’s reply, Damien snuffed the cigarette in the ashtray and turned away.

“Damien!” Ray called out to him, but Damien had already left the office.
