Chapter 187 You’re Really Fearless Now, Huh?
Janet returned to her station after a while.
Clarissa said, “Janet, I’d like to give the project at Dennis’ company a shot.”
Janet was taken aback at first. Then, she smiled. “I forgot about your relationship with Damien, so I was surprised you already knew about this even before I said anything. I never would’ve thought of assigning you to this project if you hadn’t said anything. Since you want to join, make sure you do a good job. Tomorrow, go to Brightside Investment and get the documents we need.”
Clarissa nodded.
She finished up the tasks she had in hand, and then went to Damien’s office in the evening for her tutoring session. She brought her journal along with her.
Damien continued to work on his things after she handed in her journal. As usual, he didn’t read it.

“Let it! I won’t be scared of it if you’re not,” she said, rather recklessly.
He turned to look at her. “You’re really fearless now, huh?”
“I’ll send you the location and Dennis’s number later.”
“Why would you give me Dennis’s number? Can’t you give me the number for the person in charge?” she asked.
“Don’t ask.” Since he didn’t want her to ask, she didn’t. Then, he asked, “What time are you going tomorrow?”
“Janet told me to collect the documents before going to the office. That means I can wake up later tomorrow.” Suddenly, Clarissa smiled brightly.
Damien shot her a meaningful look. “So, what are you hinting at?”
‘What am I hinting at? What could I be hinting at?’
With her brains, wasn’t everything she did in front of Damien an obvious sign rather than a subtle hint?
After all, she didn’t have the nerve to play any mind games with him.
