Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 17

Chapter 17 What Are You Thinking?

Clarissa continued washing her clothes. She did not want to bother about those things. It was too tiring.

“Clarissa, people are trampling on you. Aren’t you going to counterattack?”

“Forget it. There’s no need. This kind of post will naturally lose popularity after some time.”

“Could it be…” Lily tilted her head and looked at Clarissa. “Is there really something between you and the assistant director?”

Clarissa stared at Lily.

“I’m too lazy to talk to you.”

After saying that, Clarissa brought her laundry to the balcony and hung them so they could dry.

She was only worried about one thing, and that was if Damien would blame her for this matter. After all, this topic made it to the gossip forum.

Once Clarissa had hung all her clothes, she took out her laptop and sat on the bed, Then, she continued typing her valedictorian speech. Lily wanted to say something else, but she closed her mouth upon seeing Clarissa was silent. In the end, Lily only said, “Don’t forget about the health check for new employees tomorrow.”

Clarissa replied, “Okay.”

Since Clarissa had become a target of everyone’s attention, she was not looking forward to tomorrow’s group health check. Moreover, there was a particular sentence in the health check email.

[ Employees who have been promoted to a permanent position are to gather at the parking lot on Monday morning. All of you have to board the company’s bus to New East Hospital. ]

If it were not for the gossip post, Clarissa could stay unnoticeable. Unfortunately, the entire company probably recognized her already.

The next day, things turned out as Clarissa had predicted. Over thirty interns were on the bus, but it had not moved yet and was still in the parking lot.

Clarissa tried to keep a low profile and sat in the last row. However, she could still hear people asking, “Who’s Clarissa Johnson?”

“Who was the person that picked her up?”

“I heard she’s actually struggling financially. She probably has a sugar daddy.”

Many people turned their heads to look at Clarissa.

Suddenly, someone said, “Look outside.”

Everyone looked out the window, including Clarissa. It was a good way to divert the attention away from her.

After turning a huge curve easily, a Mercedes-Benz parked beside the bus. It was the same one as posted in the gossip forum. A few busybodies even took their phones to check.

Everybody held their breaths. They wanted to know who would get out of the car. Clarissa could basically hear their nervousness.

The car’s door opened. Damien got down and subsequently locked it. Then, he put his hands in his pockets and walked toward the office building calmly.

Everyone on the bus was silent.
