Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 461

At 10:00 a.m. the next day, they headed to the south side.

Clarissa didn’t have a car, nor did she know how to drive. Thus, she took a taxi there.

It had yet to rain when she left, but it was drizzling by the time she arrived. She had to squint to see through the rain, and she saw Caleb standing next to Charles. He was taking down notes seriously, and he only glanced at her.

Whatever had happened between her and Caleb had gone out as quickly as the fireworks she had set off at Hill Villa all those years ago.

Clarissa and the others followed Charles around as he described the plot of land to them. She held an umbrella in one hand and put the other in her pocket.

There was a woman in her forties there as well, and she was probably Alex. She didn’t know Clarissa, and Clarissa had never seen her before either. She seemed to be a little distant, seeing as she was the only person from New East Corporation present.

“You guys shouldn’t underestimate the south side. It has a lot of potential and a bright future ahead! Once the residential area is set up, it’ll be followed by all sorts of facilities, and the prices will shoot up. It wasn’t easy for me to get this plot of land…”

Clarissa was listening to Charles when she noticed a figure approaching them.

It was Damien.

He strode toward them in the rain.

Clarissa was suddenly reminded of the time when he approached her in the snow. Her heart jolted.

She had always thought that she was long past the age of being mushy, but her heart still reacted to him the way it did when she was young and innocent.

Time had changed a lot of things, but certain things remained the same.

“President Lawrence is here,” Alex said. “Should we wait till he gets here before continuing?”

“Sure.”

Clarissa looked down at her shoes. She kicked the earth around, bored.

When Damien came close to them, she took in what he was wearing—a waterproof coat in brown. The raindrops rolled right off him. It was obvious that it was of good quality.

He still didn’t have an umbrella with him.

While she stared at him dazedly, he glanced at her.

Clarissa quickly averted her gaze.
