Chapter 259 She Didn‘t Want To Anger Him Again

Clarissa didn‘t know what Damien meant by that, so she stayed silent.

After that, Damien headed to the living room.

Clarissa asked Joseph to enter her bedroom. The moment he entered the room, his gaze landed on

her bed.

In the past, there was only one pillow on Clarissa‘s bed. Now, there were two pillows. There were even

obvious signs that someone had slept on the other side of the bed for a long time. It was clear who had

been sleeping with her.

As expected, the two got back together again.

“Happy New Year, Joseph!” Clarissa held her long hair as she attempted to tie it.

It had been a while since he last saw her. Even her hair had grown.

Joseph revealed an awkward smile and greeted her back.“ Happy New Year, Clarissa. I went to church

with my mother today. She asked for a cross for you, to protect you and your kids from harm.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Then, Joseph took out the cross and attached a string to it, turning it into a necklace.

“Aww! You don‘t have to do that. Thank you, though.” Clarissa was quite surprised as she received the

silver–gilded

cross.

She was never a religious person, so she didn‘t know that he could get something as pretty as this at

the church.

“Yeah, my mother went to the church on purpose and to get it for you. It‘s fine if you don‘t believe in it.

Just treat it like a lucky charm,” Joseph added.

Ever since Clarissa got pregnant, she had become a superstitious person who would do anything to

keep her babies safe. When she heard the word “lucky charm’, she accepted the gift right away.

“Always wear this on you, okay? If you take it off, the charm would wear off, and it won‘t be as

effective,” Joseph insisted.

Clarissa didn‘t know if it was the best decision to wear it all the time. With how she was living with

Damien at the moment, it seemed a bit rude to wear the cross around him. What would she do if

Damien thought she had been fooling around with Joseph again?

“Actually, I have some work–related stuff to discuss with you today,” Joseph continued. “Mr. Lark from

Arisona Construction announced that he‘s willing to sign a three–year contract with us, and he wants

you to be his accountant during the project duration. It seems he‘s very impressed with your work,

Clarissa.”

Clarissa was dumbfounded, staring at Joseph with a shocked expression.

“What‘s the matter? You don‘t want to take on the job?” Joseph asked.

Clarissa thought for a moment Then she told him about her

Clarissa thought for a moment. Then, she told him about her plans to apply for her postgraduate

studies at Kortel University

“Did he make it a point that he wanted me to be his accountant in the contract? The problem is, I might

not be able to take on the task once I continue my studies. Would it be a breach of contract if you

assign someone else to work in my stead if I can‘t?” Clarissa said apprehensively.

“Why are you opting for postgraduate studies now? You‘re more than capable of working here.

Nobody‘s complaining about your skills,” Joseph said.

He thought Clarissa had given up on progressing her studies, knowing that she was about to give birth.

However, she seemed bent on pursuing her studies no matter what.

“I don‘t feel confident in my own abilities,” Clarissa admitted honestly.

“Have you received the offer from the university, though?”.

Clarissa frowned. “I haven‘t.”

“Don‘t worry. Kortel University normally replies within one to four months. They just take a long time to

reply, is all.”

Relieved, Clarissa nodded.

“Clarissa, I really look up to you. Do you know that? You‘ve never given up on your dreams before,”

Joseph added.

Clarissa smiled in response.

“Why don‘t I tell Mr. Lark about your current situation and let him decide if he still wants to continue the

partnership?”

Clarissa nodded. “Sure, let‘s do that.”

Then, Joseph and Clarissa chatted for a while to catch on with their lives.

“Do you plan on going anywhere during the holidays? I can accompany you if you want.”

Clarissa was happy to hear that. However, her face dropped almost immediately and she muttered

dejectedly, “I don‘t think Damien will let me do, since Mrs. Faber‘s gone back home for the holidays.”

“Alright.” Joseph walked toward Clarissa‘s door and added, “ Don‘t miss me too much, okay?”

Clarissa thought to herself, ‘I bet he said that for Damien to hear.‘

When Clarissa walked out of the bedroom, she saw Damien sitting in the living room while watching

TV. That was how she knew Joseph said that on purpose just to anger Damien.

After seeing Joseph off at the door, she returned to her bedroom.

She was terrified of Damien, to the extent she would shudder at the thought of talking to him. So, she

headed straight to her bedroom to go on with her day. She picked up her language book and studied

for some time. Then, she chatted with her friends for a while before watching a drama series,
