Clarissa’s intention was to push Chanel into requesting to borrow the money from Damien by herself. She never expected that Chanel would push the task back to her.
“Thank you so much, Clarissa!” Chanel was delighted.
Clarissa wondered silently, ‘Chanel probably thinks I’ll definitely be able to borrow the money for her, doesn’t she?’
It had been the same when Chanel had wanted to foster Logan. She simply needed Clarissa’s help, and it was done.
Clarissa had no clue whether Chanel had social anxiety, or was just terrified of Damien.
Really, it was her own fault for not keeping her mouth shut and getting involved. She had made it seem as if she had a great relationship with Damien.
Once Clarissa got to the office, she sent Damien a Whatsapp message.
Clarissa: [The university is building houses priced at a tenth of those on the market. Chanel asked me to help borrow some money from you.]
Damien: [So you’ll be her guarantor?]
Clarissa was dumbfounded.
He and Chanel had each other’s numbers, but they insisted on making her the middle person. It was such a pain!
Clarissa: [I’m only asking because we bumped into each other and she made me do it. Are you lending her the money or not?]
Damien: [Talk about it later.]
After such a response from Damien, Clarissa could only text Chanel back.
Clarissa: [He says he’ll talk about it later. See, you should’ve asked yourself! You might have already gotten an answer. I don’t have any sway over him.]
Chanel stared at the message.
She truly wanted to buy a house, but she couldn’t put aside her pride to ask Damien for money, even though she also wanted to use this as an excuse to contact Damien.
If it was just her alone, she would be fine living in Indigo Hall. However, now she had a child with her. Since the child wasn’t even hers, gossip was difficult to avoid. Chanel didn’t want to be the object of people’s criticisms.
That was why she wanted to live outside of campus.
She had already sold the place she had bought with her ex-husband and donated the money to the school her ex-husband had once taught.
At that time, she thought that she wouldn’t remarry and wouldn’t need all that money.
Although her ex-husband cheated on her, Chanel didn’t hold it against him.
On Wednesday, Clarissa walked onto the rostrum in a suitable dress, with a confident and jovial smile on her face.
