Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien) -
Chapter 208
Chapter 208 He Could Read Others' Minds The engagement party ended, and Clarissa left with Damien. On the way home, Clarissa received a message from her mother. (Don't let Damien tolerate Luke)
[I told him the same thing, Mom.] Clarissa replied.
She too feared that Damien's generosity was all a trap.
Alas, Luke was too happy to notice what was happening.
"Alright."
Clarissa was certain Damien was plotting something nasty against Luke.
Just when she was about to reply, she received a message from Rebecca. (Are you up for coffee?
[Now?) (Yeah. I'm at the Garage Cafe, checking some financial reports. If you're free, do stop by.]
Clarissa checked the location. Garage Cafe was only a few minutes away.
"Damien, Rebecca's nearby and she wants to meet up with me. Is that okay?" Clarissa asked. Damien knew why Rebecca wanted to meet up with Clarissa.
"Sure," he responded. "Thanks." Clarissa gave Damien a peck on the cheek to show her gratitude.
The car stopped in front of Garage Cafe, and Clarissa went in.
Damien could see Rebecca through the window.
"Were you nearby? Why did you dress up?" That was the first thing that Rebecca said when she saw Clarissa.
"My brother got engaged today, and the venue was nearby." Rebecca took a sip of her coffee. "Engagement? Was Joseph there?" Clarissa nodded. "Then did he and Damien..." "Nothing happened. It was my brother's engagement party, after all." "Is your brother engaged to Emily?" Rebecca asked again. "Yeah."
"Emily knew Frank, Joseph's dad. She used to like Joseph, but that was before Joseph's scandal with Nicole. To be honest, you did hurt Joseph badly, and you were the reason he decided to leave the country, especially after you've collected the materials from him." Rebecca took another sip of her drink. "Great West will be handed to me soon." "Really?" Clarissa was a little dour to know that. So he left because of
me.'
This was why Nicole was furious at her. However, it was Damien's idea for Clarissa to collect the materials from Joseph.
That man probably had it all planned out from the beginning.
He could always read others' minds.
This was why Joseph eventually gave up on Clarissa. Once again, Clarissa couldn't help but look at Damien differently. "Does Joseph talk to you often?" Clarissa asked.
"Yes. I'm older than him, and he sees me as his sister. Anyways, Clarissa, come work with me at Great West. You'll get your shares." Rebecca sounded excited. This was the reason Rebecca wanted to meet up with Clarissa in the first place.
She was satisfied with Clarissa's work performance.
"But I'm currently working somewhere else..." Clarissa said. "I know. Your husband's company, right?" Rebecca responded with disappointment. "I knew this would be the outcome. I've always wanted to work with you, but fate doesn't seem to allow it."
Clarissa chuckled. "That's true. What are you planning to do with Nicole?" Rebecca tilted her head as she replied, "I can't fire her, that's for sure. I'll give her a private room and make sure she's isolated from everyone else."
Rebecca bore a vengeful expression as she said this. "Don't overdo it," Clarissa said. "Isn't she madly in love with Joseph? Why didn't she follow him?
"Who's she to follow him?" Rebecca snorted, throwing the question back to Clarissa.
Clarissa privately agreed. 'Fair enough. She's not Joseph's girlfriend, and Joseph never promised her a job.'
