As they ate, Clarissa’s elbow kept bumping into Damien’s. When this happened, he only gave her a look. He didn’t mind it much.
Sometimes, he would look at Clarissa, and Clarissa would look at him. Sometimes, this didn’t happen.
There was a bit of a “this is how it is, what are you gonna do about it?” kind of feeling to it.
Damien wouldn’t pick a fight with her.
When they paid, the bill came up to only about 560 dollars. Clarissa also had a 100 dollar cash voucher, so she only spent about 460 dollars.
“Hold on, I have a cash voucher.” As she spoke, Clarissa dug around in her bag to find the voucher.
“Clarissa, you’re so stingy! What kind of a friend are you?” Evidently, Lily was unhappy with this meal Clarissa was treating her to.
“It’s not like you’ll be here for just one day. I’m taking care of all your needs. This is just the start. There’ll be a big meal tomorrow. Besides, my place only has one bed. It’s small and won’t fit us all. I’ve gotten a room for you at the campus guest house. Is that better?” Clarissa asked.
She only said all this for Damien’s benefit.
Of course, Damien understood her meaning.
She sounded repulsed by the thought of sleeping with him again after spending a few years apart.
Damien gave a displeased huff. “I remember when we used to share a small bed. It was never a problem.”
She thought about it for a while, and remembered that the bed in her home had been the same size.
“Don’t think too much. I didn’t say that for you.”
“But I feel that way.”
Seeing that Damien had caught on, Clarissa could only pretend to concentrate on looking for the cash voucher.
Suddenly, a name card fell out from her bag.
Damien glanced at it and saw what was written on it. It said, “La Monde Hotel.”
