Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 Were You Pulling My Leg?

The two shirts cost 5 thousand dollars.

In Clarissa’s current situation, five thousand dollars was an astronomical sum

Outsiders couldn’t enter the audit department, so she met with the store clerk at the reception desk.

She asked whether she could pay them together with the following month’s bill.

The store clerk smiled. “Miss Johnson, we just work there. We have to keep a monthly record.”

“I forgot to bring my cell phone, though,” Clarissa said. “That’s okay. I can wait here while you go back upstairs to get your phone.”

Clarissa fell silent.

She was backed into a corner.

She couldn’t bring herself to borrow any money from Lily, because she knew that Lily was always short of money at the end of the month. Lily spent more than she earned, and her mother even had to give her some allowance every month. Moreover, Clarissa could

already imagine what would happen if she were to borrow money from Lily.

“You want to borrow money? Half of this building belongs to you, but you want to borrow money from me?”

She was even more embarrassed to ask anyone else for help. It’d be disgraceful for Damien if people were to know that the president’s wife was going around asking people for money

Just as Clarissa was feeling awkward, Ray walked into the building.

“What’s wrong?” he asked when he saw how awkward she looked.

“Oh, these people came to deliver Damien’s shirts, but I can’t pay them because I forgot my phone,” Clarissa said.

“Allow me. How much is it?” Ray pulled his phone out.

“Five thousand dollars.”

He transferred the money.

As Clarissa turned to head upstairs, she heard the receptionists whispering among themselves. They were probably talking about her.

This didn’t bother her. She was already used to being the subject of gossip.

‘How am I going to pay Ray back?’

Even at such a time, she had to keep up appearances. She couldn’t let anyone know aboul her situation.
