Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 4

Chapter 4 He Will Wait and See

Damien stared at Clarissa. She probably had an ulterior motive on the night they slept together. Why else would she “accidentally” leave her phone in the room? Surprisingly, she rejected him without any hesitation. That impressed him. Of course, if she were to regret her action in the future, he would only look down on her further. The trick of playing hard to get was not new. Using that method on him would only bring humiliation to herself.

“Okay. You can leave.”

Damien ordered Clarissa to leave coldly.

After returning to her office, Clarissa realized that she was not angry. In fact, she just felt her heart sink.

Regardless, she had already rejected Damien’s request. So, she decided to stop thinking about it.

The most important thing right now was to remain in New East Corporation. After all, New East Corporation’s benefits were second to none in the whole of Genovia.

While Clarissa was battling her inner thoughts, she received a Whatsapp message from her brother, Luke Johnson.

[ Clarissa, the doctor wants you to go to the hospital at 4:00 p.m. today. ]

Clarissa was irritated.

[ I’m still working at 4:00 p.m. ]

[ Tell that to the doctor yourself. ]

Clarissa knew that talking to Luke was a waste of time. At the moment, it was three o’clock in the afternoon. If she wanted to arrive at the hospital on time, she would need to leave by three-thirty. She had to put in a leave request again.

Upon thinking that, Clarissa became nervous. Actually, she was an excellent person and had achieved top results in school. She even implemented a new bookkeeping technique and was praised by her superiors. However, she kept taking leaves. This would definitely impact her position in the company. Obviously, taking constant leaves was not a good impression.

Her worries were not for nothing. When she put in a leave request, the finance director, Howard Brooks, said, “Clarissa, your performance isn’t bad, but you keep taking leaves. How am I supposed to give you a good review? You want to stay in New East Corporation, right?”

Clarissa replied humbly, “Director, New East is a great company. Without a doubt, I want to stay here. Unfortunately, I really have some urgent matters. After handling them, I’ll come back and work extra hours.”

Howard reluctantly approved Clarissa’s leave request. Clarrisa left and took a public bus to Genovia’s Columbia Hospital.

Her mother had been lying in the hospital’s neurology department bed for years.
