Damien answered the call on the corridor outside the conference room on the tenth floor of the New East Corporation.
“What’s up?” Damien asked.
“Oh, I found someone to look after my mom, but she won’t be here until two or three in the afternoon. I don’t really feel comfortable leaving my mom at home alone, but I have to go to class. If you don’t mind, can you help me?” Clarissa said.
“Are you going to class now?” Damien asked her meaningfully. He wondered why she was going to class right after the surgery.
“The operation now… Don’t you know I’ll be discharged the next day?”
Damien looked at his watch and answered, “Okay.”
Damien no longer teased Clarissa. He was very obedient to her, and was willing to accept all her requests as if he was atoning for his sins. He owed it to her, after all.
After the call, Damien went back to his office and packed his things.
“That’s all for today’s meeting. I have an emergency,” Damien said as he prepared to leave. “We’ll continue tomorrow.”
Ray sent him a message.
Ray: [Did something happen?]
Damien: [I’m going to be a helper.]
Ray: [For who? Clarissa?]
Damien: [Who else but her?]
Ray laughed when he saw Damien’s reply. ‘You deserved it!’
When Damien arrived at Clarissa’s house, Clarissa was already dressed and ready to leave.
Clarissa dressed in a white silk shirt and cream-colored pants. She carried a coffee-colored coat on her arm, and looked very charming with light makeup and bright lipstick.
Damien’s body stiffened when he saw her beautiful appearance.
“I’ll leave my mom in your care. Thanks so much,” Clarissa said kindly. “I have a day of classes today. Can you cook lunch for my mom?”
“Sure,” Damien said in a muffled voice.
