Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 3

Chapter 3 We Live Together

Clarissa looked around. There was no one else in the office.

Damien said, “I’m talking to you.”

“What?”

“Marry me.”

Damien repeated his words.

Clarissa was not mishearing things after all.

Nonetheless, she was still in a daze. There was still a month until she graduated from university. She had considered marriage before this, but not at the moment.

‘Is Damien testing me?’ Clarissa speculated. A president would not lose anything by sleeping with an intern. Still, there would be a negative impact. He was probably trying to see if Clarissa had any inappropriate thoughts.

Clarissa felt complicated. Damien’s eyes and embrace were warm. To her, he was different from other men even though their sexual encounter was accidental. At the same time, she was aware that it was impossible for them to be together in this lifetime.

She was a woman of unequal status in comparison to him. Even though he mentioned marriage, it was definitely not because he liked her.

Clarissa recalled Damien’s “hint” on the day he returned her phone. Obviously, he was worried that she would cause him trouble.

Hence, she lied.

“I have a boyfriend.”

Damien asked, “Are you guys planning to get married?”

“Oh, no. We haven’t graduated and aren’t financially stable yet.”

Clarissa tried her best to stay calm.

“How far has your relationship with him developed?” Damien was particularly concerned about Clarissa’s personal life.

Clarissa did not know what he was thinking, so she blurted, “We’re… Living together now.”

She was implying they had slept together and her “boyfriend” would not be pleased if he found out about the incident during the day of the team-building activity. In other words, she would keep it a secret. President Damien had nothing to worry about.

“Living together?” Damien frowned.
