Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 583

Seth stayed at Clarissa’s for a few days before returning to Lotharia. Meanwhile, Clarissa took Mildred out every day to relax.

“Mom, this is Genovia. You’ve been here before,” Clarissa said. “You might not recognize it because there’s been lots of changes here, though.”

Mildred only quietly looked around, not saying much. Even at home, she was also deathly silent.

Now that Mildred was in Merania, Clarissa had crossed off a huge to-do on her list. However, she was devastated to see how blank Mildred was all the time.

…

Damien still arranged for the next meeting at New East Corporation to fall on a Saturday.

Clarissa knew just what Damien was thinking. Usually, Chanel would be teaching on weekdays and could only come by on weekends to make things difficult for Clarissa.

As usual, Clarissa tried to ask Director Jones for leave.

Clarissa: [Director Jones, I’m not feeling too well recently. I need a day off.]

Director Jones: [I’ve talked to Mr. Lawrence. He says there are only a few more meetings regarding Ashland. He wants you to persist for a bit longer.]

Well then, she would persist!

She would persist in acting out a show for him.

Clarissa wore flats as usual, and went to the conference room.

Damien was sitting at the head of the table.

During the meeting, Clarissa pretended as if she was really out of it. As she watched the presentation, she rested her chin on her hand. If it wasn’t necessary for her to speak, she kept quiet.

Up until Damien’s phone rang.

“Go home for lunch? Sure. The meeting will be over soon.” His voice was unbearably soft.

Clarissa could easily guess who had called Damien.

As Lucas was explaining some new details, Clarissa couldn’t help but feel disgusted. She ran out while covering her mouth.

Suddenly, everyone in the conference room grew silent.

Damien’s expression turned unsightly almost immediately.
