Chapter 9 What Is “That”?
New East Corporation was far from Clarissa’s university. Thus, she rented a two-bedroom apartment near the company with someone for convenience.
Luke was living in their mother’s house.
On Saturday at ten o’clock in the morning, Damien picked Clarissa up.
Clarissa had dressed decently according to Damien’s request. She wore a white shirt, a red skirt, and a pair of white sneakers. Overall, she looked very youthful. Young people tended to look good no matter what they wore.
Damien was not driving. He sat in the backseat beside Clarissa.
When she got into the car, he only glanced at her without saying a word.
Clarissa suddenly remembered something when they were on the highway. Did her marriage arrangement with Damien include sex?
She signed the contract in a blur without even asking for further clarifications. The lack of money had probably driven her insane.
They almost arrived at Damien’s grandfather’s house. Since the two of them had to put up an act, they would have to sleep together. Would Damien request to have sex?
At that moment, Clarissa suddenly quivered.
She did not know if the driver knew about their marriage arrangement. Hence, she was extra careful to ensure he did not overhear their conversation. Clarissa decided to just send Damien a Whatsapp message.
[ President Lawrence, does our contract involve doing “that”? ]
Damien slowly picked up his phone after hearing it ring. He tapped into Whatsapp to check the message.
Clarissa sat still and gripped her phone tightly.
Soon, the notification “1 message from 1 chat” popped up on her phone’s screen.
She unlocked her phone to read the text.
[ Stranger: What is “that”? ]
Clarissa’s head was about to explode. This man was actually pretending to be ignorant about such a crucial question.
