Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 578

Clarissa thought that Howard would be a mess after three years of prison and squatting at Rebecca’s house, but he looked decent. He was neatly dressed, and had a professional air to him.

Still, Clarissa didn’t want to deal with Howard now. She tried to hide her face as she entered the university grounds.

When she unconsciously looked back, she thought she saw a woman throwing herself into Howard’s arms.

Clarissa now understood why Howard was so well-dressed. He must have landed himself a student.

Howard was nearly fifty years old, but he had somehow managed to get himself a young woman in her early twenties.

She didn’t know what Rebecca would think of this once she found out. However, Clarissa wasn’t the kind of person who would bring up such a controversial matter.

When she got him, Clarissa sent Director Jones a Whatsapp message.

Clarissa: [Director Jones, I’d like to resign from the position of Independent Director. I’m a newcomer, and there’s a lot that I’m not familiar with. At the meeting just now, I needed to put in a lot of effort to follow the contents. Besides, I’ve put all my heart into teaching. What do you think? Sorry to bother you about this.]

Not long after, she received a reply.

Director Jones: [Clarissa, this is a job with an annual salary of two million. You should have a good think about this. If you’re not familiar with the work, you will learn the ropes soon enough. Or is there some other issue?]

Clarissa: [There’s nothing. I’ve thought about it. I really want to quit.]

Director Jones: [Then I’ll ask Mr. Lawrence about it.]

Director Jones sent Damien a Whatsapp message.

Director Jones: [Mr. Lawrence, Clarissa wants to quit. She says she can’t follow the contents of the meeting.]

At that moment, Damien was having some soup.

Damien: [Rejected! She can learn to keep up.]

Director Jones took a screenshot of the interaction and sent it to Clarissa. He also sent her a helpless emoji and four words, “I can’t help you.”
