Chapter 85 Calling Him by Name The next day at work, Lily sent Clarissa a WhatsApp message saying that she had someting to tell Clarissa.
“What’s up?” They were having fish and chips for lunch.
This restaurant specialized in fish and chips, and though it was small, it was always filled with customers. Clarissa and Lily had managed to squeeze themselves into a tiny corner, and Clarissa had ordered one of their in-house specials. The gravy was so spicy that it made her Jips bright red. “I went to pass some documents to our director today, and she happened to be on the phone. I heard her say that Lucas Smith will be coming to take over the audit department tomorrow. You want to go there, don’t you? I think you can take this opportunity,” Lily said. Clarissa frowned. “No, I can’t. The human resource department rejected my application, which means that I obviously didn’t meet the criteria Nothing would change if I were to try again, Also, I asked Damien for help, but he turned me down.”
“Keep your voice down and stop calling him by name! Remember to address him as President Lawrence when we’re in public. The walls have ears, you know.” Lily glanced around. “What I meant was that even though the human resource department rejected you, you can still translate your resume into German and give it to Lucas directly. Maybe you’ll be lucky enough to be chosen.”
Clarissa gave this some thought. ‘Lily’s right. It’s easier to deal with the boss than to deal with his lackeys.’ Lily didn’t know that Damien had already translated Clarissa’s resune for her. She would print out a few more copies so that she could pass them to Lucas once he was here.
Now that she had hope, she was excited. She and Lily laughed and chatted all the way back to the company. Unexpectedly, they saw Damien walking out of the elevator when they were in the lobby
He was probably about to go for lunch.
“Hello, President Lawrence.”
“Hello, President Lawrence.”
Both Clarissa and Lify greeted him. Damien walked quickly. He frowned after glancing at Clarissa.
“You had spicy food again!” he said.
After that, he walked past her. Clarissa instinctively wanted to say something in retort, but since he was gone, she didn’t say anything.
Under normal circumstances, she would address him as “President Lawrence”. At liome, she would occasionally address him as “hubby”. He had never heard her call him by his name before.
When Clarissa returned to the office, she removed Damien’s name from the bottom of her resume and printed out two copies, one in English and one in German.
Her application to transfer to the audit department was considered an internal transfer, so she didn’t bother hiding the fact that she was printing her resume. Howard happened to return to the office at this moment. He saw Clarissa’s resume the moment it was printed out.
“Are you printing your resume, Clare?” He smiled.
Ever since he discovered Clarissa’s identity, le maintained a friendly attitude toward her, even if it was only on the surface.
“Yes, I want to apply to transfer to the audit department.” Clarissa felt that it would be an honor for the finance department is she were to get transferred to the audit department. Howard would probably be happy about it. “Oh, is that so? Go on, then.” Howard went back to his office, looking thoughtful. ‘Clarissa can’t leave. I can’t let her go.’ If she were to transfer to the audit department, it would be his funeral!
