Love in Twilight

Chapter 263

Chapter 263 You’re Pretty Good At Two-timing Us Clarissa was stunned.

He didn’t have the right to meddle with her life decisions. If she pursued her studies overseas,

she could never work at New East Corporation next year. Clarissa’s hands, which were holding on to

the cutlery, were trembling profusely at the thought.

“I’m not working there!”

Damien didn’t utter a single word. It was as if he was indicating that the matter wasn’t up to Clarissa to

decide.

Clarissa was so angry that her stomach hurt. She couldn’t bring herself to enjoy breakfast anymore.

She glanced in the direction of the side table and saw the pendant on the floor. Then, she knelt down to

pick it up.

The cross had already been broken into pieces.

She tried to kneel down, but she couldn’t. The more she tried to do it, the more agitated she became.

She kept trying to pick up, her face flushed red from exhaustion.

Clarissa didn’t want to argue with Damien anymore, because she knew that she wouldn’t win the fight

no matter what.

Damien, who was sitting on the sofa, watched her in silence. Then, he stood up, picked up the

pendant, and placed it on the dining table.

Clarissa returned to the dining table to enjoy her meal in silence.

Suddenly, somebody was knocking on the door. Damien answered it, only to see Joseph at his

doorstep. He didn’t say anything and returned to the sofa again. “Clarissa?” Joseph called out to her.

“Yes, I’m here.” Since she couldn’t release her pent-up anger just now, she wanted to vent to Joseph,

“We can talk in my room.”

“You guys can talk here,” Damien spat coldly.

Joseph was worried that Damien might make things even more difficult for Clarissa if he didn’t do as

told, So, he obliged and sat just opposite her.

Instantly, his attention was drawn to the pendant, which was already in pieces.

He had spent around 100k on the pendant. Worried that Clarrisa wouldn’t accept it, he had lied to her

about getting it for free at the church.

After all, Clarissa wouldn’t even accept the necklace le gave her as a lucky charm. After her final

examination, she returned it to him.

“What happened?” Joseph asked.

Clarissa found his question to be very awkward. After all, she had received it just yesterday. “I almost

fell from the bathtub yesterday, and accidentally broke it.”

“Are you okay?” Joseph grabbed Clarissa’s hand immediately.

Feeling even more awkward, she snuck a discreet glance at Damien. Although he was still reading his

book, he could still see what they were up to from the corner of his eyes,

Clarissa thought that Damien was being bolder and bolder with his actions day by day. In the past,

Damien wouldn’t dare to make things difficult for Clarissa, especially after all the things that happened.

From their divorce to Theresa’s death and Clarissa’s pregnancy, Damien was responsible for almost all

of it. But ever since he slept with Clarissa that night, he became less reserved and much more

domineering,

Without realizing it, Damien had turned into his past unscrupulous and cruel self.

“Why is your wrist bruised?” Joseph asked.

“It’s from the fall,” Clarissa lied again.

“Are your babies okay?”

“I’ve gone past the dangerous phase of pregnancy, they should be fine.”

Joseph had a lot of things he wanted to tell Clarissa, but he couldn’t because of Damien’s presence.

At first, Clarissa thought that Joseph was here to ask her about her resignation from First, but he didn’t

mention anything related to that.

Joseph seemed to be preoccupied with his thoughts, though Clarissa wasn’t sure what he was worried

about.

“Clarissa, have you received the email?”

At the mention of her offer letter, Clarissa finally understood the reason why Joseph seemed to be

holding back his words.

She shook her head in disappointment.

“Don’t worry, it might take a while to arrive.”

“I hope so,” Clarissa said.

“Clarissa, if it’s meant to be, it will be. Don’t pressure yourself too much about it, okay?” Joseph

lowered his head to look at Clarissa apologetically.

She nodded.

After she finished having breakfast, Joseph volunteered to waslı her dishes.

He didn’t cause a scene today, for fear or incurring Damien’s wrath.

After that, he chatted with Clarissa for a while and left.

“You’re pretty good and two timing us,” Damien put down his book and said with a casual tone.

Clarissa ignored him. With her stomach writhing in pain, she was prepared to head back to her room to

rest.

She thought about watching some drama series to calm herself down.

The moment she scrolled through her phone, the first thing she saw was a message directed at all the

employees in First. Nathan Henderson, the newest shareholder in First, had sent a message to the

group. He was added to the group by Penelope just now.

Nathan: [As the biggest shareholder of First, I am here to announce a piece of heavy news. As a highly

reputable accounting firm, we are responsible for maintaining quality in the services we provide to our

customers. Since our clients only value employees with acceptable academic backgrounds, those

without a postgraduate degree will have to be let go from today onwards. First will be responsible for

providing the compensation fees for the sudden decision.] Clarissa was stunned.

Although he didn’t mention the names of the employees, it was obvious that Nathan was talking about

Clarissa.

While she didn’t invest anything in this firm, Joseph did promise her the labor investment. However,

that never happened.

Clarissa finally understood the actual reason for Joseph’s visit today, and why he seemed to be acting

a bit oddly just now. He knew that this was going to happen. Deep down, Clarissa knew that there were Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

people in the company that hated her. At the same time, she also understood that she was not

academically qualified for the post.

Clarissa fell in a daze, so much that she didn’t reply to any of Joseph’s messages at all even as he kept

spamming her on Whatsapp. Grabbing the phone, Clarissa stared vacantly at the floor in muted shock

and dismay.

“Clarissa,” Damien called out to her a few times, but she didn’t reply.
