Chapter 448 We Can’t Leave Our Pimp Behind “Also...?” Damien asked.
“She wants me to be there as well.”
“Are you going to go, then?”
“It depends on my schedule. I have classes, and I need to write a paper. Anyway, this is a meeting between old classmates. Why should I be there?” “You don‘t want to go? Let her know, then.”
Clarissa was speechless. Why did they both want her there? “I‘m not a matchmaker. Why do I have to be there?” she muttered huffily. “We can‘t leave our pimp behind.” Damien was mocking her for saying that she was a matchmaker.
“Then...” Clarissa checked her schedule. “Tomorrow night? Are you going back to Genovia?”
“No.I need to keep an eye on things, now that we’ve just signed the contract.” Clarissa nodded slowly. “How about at half past six? I‘ll let Chanel know.” Damien didn‘t say anything. It was a silent acquiescence. He knew Chanel pretty well. She had a crush on him for many years, but no matter how hard one tried to hide their feelings, time would eventually reveal the truth. This was why people had made fun of her when he and Clarissa had gotten married a few years back. As someone with a doctorate, this was a huge blow to her ego, so she married someone to show she wasn‘t hung up on Damien. The man had agreed to marry Chanel because of her status as a highly educated university lecturer, but he was actually in love with someone else. His lover had become a volunteer teacher, so he told Chanel he was going to be one as well. In fact, he had only gone there to be with his lover.
Later on, the man died. Apparently, he had died of excessive sexual activity. Since he was a volunteer teacher, the true reason for his death had not been disclosed to protect his reputation. Chanel had become a widow, but it was better than being known for having a lifelong crush on a man who had married someone else. She didn‘t want to become a joke.
Moreover, she had gone around telling people that she had long since given up on Damien and was head over heels for her husband.
Damien was actually quite unnerved to see Chanel. He couldn‘t help but find her thoughts rather twisted.
Yet, Clarissa was actually the one bringing them together.
