Chapter 286 She Was Stubborn As A Mule Ray came to Damien‘s office.

“Come to the audit department with me.” Ray sounded a little irritated.

“What‘s up? Is there something even someone with a doctorate like yourself can‘t solve?” Damien

seemed to be enjoying the show.

“What‘s wrong with Lucas?! Why‘s he delaying his own company‘s work and focusing on other stuff?

Doesn‘t he know what‘s more important?” Ray said with frustration as he pointed upstairs.

Damien smiled. “Why do you have to get so angry? Relax. The audit department‘s shorthanded, and

I‘ve been looking around for new hires.”

“That‘s not going to help us in the short term. Is the finance department not important enough for him to

work on?” Ray was furious. “Come on, let‘s go upstairs to look for him. He won‘t listen to anyone else

but you.”

He wanted Damien to make Lucas see sense.

“You only need me when it comes to these things, huh?” Damien didn‘t want to go. He was busy going

through the documents his secretary had passed him for signing.

“Of course! You‘re the boss, aren‘t you? Who else can I go to for things like this? You‘re the expert at

putting out fires,” Ray said teasingly.

“Putting out fires?” Damien glanced at him. “I don‘t even know who‘s going to put out

my fire.”

“Drop the dirty jokes. Where‘s Clarissa?” Ray didn‘t see her around.

Earlier this morning in the conference room, he saw Clarissa dropping something off for Damien. Ray

knew all too well that Damien wanted people to notice her.

Moreover, Damien had just mentioned “putting out his fire“, and it was apparent what he was referring

to. It reminded Ray of Clarissa.

“Didn‘t she come here today? Why isn‘t she in your office? Has she left?” He saw that the blanket on

the sofa had been folded neatly, and instantly knew Clarissa was the one who had done that. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“She hasn‘t left. She‘s upstairs practicing yoga.”

“All the more reason you should come to Lucas‘ office with me. The yoga studio is on the way there,

and the door‘s made of glass,” Ray said.

“No. Deal with it yourself.” Damien leaned back, his eyes still trained on his documents.

“If I could, why would I be here? You need to go take him down a peg or two!” After that, Ray walked

over to Damien and swiveled his chair around. “I know you want to

see Clarissa. If you don‘t come with me, I won‘t come up with any more excuses for you.”

“I can see her any time I want to.” Damien looked serious, but he still got to his feet.

On the top floor, they passed by the yoga studio. Without even realizing it, Damien slowed down.

Clarissa‘s belly was pronounced, and she wasn‘t wearing much, which made her look especially good.

“Your wife‘s figure is delectable,” Ray said teasingly. “She‘s even sexier now that she‘s pregnant.”

“Cut the crap!” Damien growled.

He had just mentioned putting out fires earlier, and here she was, stoking his fire. Who was she trying

to seduce, dressing so skimpily?

He could see Clarissa on all fours on the yoga mat through the glass door. She had to stretch out her

right leg and left hand at the same time while maintaining her balance.

It was easy for an average person to do this, but as a pregnant woman six months along, she needed a

lot more strength to hold herself up.

The sun was shining down on her through the window, and Damien could clearly see beads of sweat

dripping from her head onto the mat.

“If you can‘t take it, you can always stop,” Yvonne said.

“I can!” Clarissa gritted her teeth.

After stretching her hand and leg out, she had to grab her leg from behind. This was hard for even a

normal person to do.

“In yoga, you shouldn‘t fight against yourself. Just do whatever you can,” Yvonne reminded her.

Clarissa‘s hand slowly inched toward her foot and caught it.

“That‘s great. I‘m sure your babies would be proud of such a strong and hardworking mother. Let‘s

proceed,” Yvonne said.

She didn‘t see Damien and Ray standing outside.

They continued on their way to Lucas‘s office,

“Your wife‘s a persistent one,” Ray said. “She didn‘t give up even when she was so tired.”

“Is that so?” Damien didn‘t look too happy.

Indeed, she was perseverant. When everyone thought that Theresa was done for, Clarissa borrowed

money and worked part–time to keep Theresa alive. In fact, if not for

his father Patrick, Theresa would still be alive and well to this day. Aside from that, Clarissa was

determined to study abroad and get her master‘s. This hadn‘t changed despite Damien canceling her

offer. He wanted to make her come back to New East Corporation, but it was proving to be extremely

difficult.

She was stubborn as a mule!
