Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) novel Chapter 73

Chapter 73 Mr. Unpredictable and Miss Irresistible After work, Damien called Lily into his office.

Fueled with horror and anxiety, Lily entered Damien’s office for the first time.

She knew he was going to ask about Clarissa.

Looking at Damien from a distance, Lily was so nervous that she was shivering from head to toe. Lily didn’t know how exactly Clarissa spent every single day with someone as frightening as Damien.

“Did you and Clarissa meet Joseph Moore on Saturday?” As expected, the first thing Damien mentioned was Clarissa.

At this moment, Lily felt as if she was undergoing a lie detector test. Facing Damien’s interrogation, she wouldn’t dare to lie to him.

So, Lily told Damien everything that had happened that day; from how they went on a tour around Josepli’s accounting firm, to how Clarissa was looking forward to a professional working environment. She even filled Damien in about Clarissa’s decision to apply as an assistant in his accounting firm.

“He only gave her a book? What about a notebook?” Damien pressed on.

“Joseph told her he’d mail the notebook to Clarissa a few days later.”

“Alright.” Damien frowned. It seemed like they had met each other personally without Lily.

“Mr. Lawrence, I’ve tried to convince Clarissa otherwise. I told her many times that working in New East Corporate is a rare opportunity. However, she told me she’s been looking forvard to working in a professional working environment ever since she was fifteen. Plus, she’s always a target of gossip in our company no matter where she goes.”

Lily even tried to put in a few good words about Damien by stating that the reason Clarissa was looking forward to work at Great West Accounting Firm wasn’t at all because of her fondness towards Joseph.

“Is that really what she said?” Damien frowned.

“What do you mean?”

“The thing about gossiping.” “Yes. Since she has an odd relationship with you, everyone’s trying to take advantage of her by getting on good terms with her. Those who hate her are trying everything they can to rid of her privilege. After experiencing all these, she told me she wanted a change in terms of her working environment. She hoped she could earn a place in a company by her own achievement.”

Aside from what Clarissa had said, Lily even reassured him that Clarissa didn’t fall for Joseph’s personality and achievements whatsoever.

“Okay. Don’t tell Clarissa about what happened today, no matter what.”

“I won’t!” Lily was worried that she might be the one instigating a war between the couple.

Upon knowing that Damien wasn’t keen on letting Clarissa know about their conversation, she lieaved a sigh of relief and left.

In the evening, the human resource department released a new set of official rules and Guidelines. The original document was still intact, with the addition of one rule: ‘Employees are prohibited from gossiping in the office. If caught, a thirty-dollar fine will be issued.’ When they saw this new rule, everyone in the office muttered under their breaths, “I’m sure this is about Clarissa’s miscarriage.”

“We shouldn’t talk about this. Thirty dollars a time is no joke to normal einployees like us!”
