Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien)
Chapter 423

Chapter 423 Welcome, President Lawrence When Clarissa saw Caleb, she acted as though she didn't know him.

Caleb stared at Clarissa as she passed by. If he didn't have to take care of Neil at Damien's place, Caleb would've insisted on having a meal with her. After he finished eating, Caleb removed the painting from the walls and placed it at the desk beside his bed.

"Why's the painting here? You should just leave it hanging on the walls," Hank said jokingly. "I decided to keep it for myself," Caleb replied. After looking at the picture one last time, Caleb changed into casual clothes and left the house. Since he was going to Damien's place today, it was better for him to dress properly. He treated his every encounter with Damien very seriously.

Then, he followed the address given by Damien and arrived at Dennis Lawrence's house. When he arrived, Damien and Ray were sitting on the sofa, discussing some work-related matters about investment. Neil was probably having his evening nap, because Caleb didn't see him around the house. The moment Caleb arrived, Damien and Ray stopped talking about work for fear of exposing their company secrets. "Hey, Caleb. Wow, you're such a handsome young man!" Ray praised, "Heck, you're even more handsome than Damien!"

Damien glared at Ray.

"Caleb, have you confessed your love to your crush?" Damien asked.

"No... She reported me to the disciplinary department yesterday night. I was scolded by the head of the said department before coming here."

"Yesterday night?" Damien toyed around with his words and looked straight into Caleb's eyes. "Did you fuck her last night?"

"I don't want to talk about it!' Caleb waved his hand. He didn't expect Damien to be so blunt with his words. Judging from Damien's carefree speech, having sex didn't sound like a big deal to him at all. "It's important that you take it slow when it comes to nurturing a relationship. You shouldn't rush her into doing things she didn't want to do." Darien didn't know that the person Caleb had fallen for was his teacher. So, he thought Caleb must've been too assertive in pursuing her. "She's the one making things difficult for me," Caleb said. "Trust me. You just have to take it slow," Damien advised. Now that he was in a position to give advice. Damien knew he was getting old.

"We have to go now. Neil's still napping. When he's awake, please look after him while I'm away." After that, Damien left with Ray.

Today, Clarissa was dressed in formal attire. She was about to head to Eden Investment.

To make up for her absence at the meeting that day, she had already looked through the recording and offered her advice to President Benson.

President Benson: (We've discussed the terms and written the contract for New East, but they have yet to review it. Clarissa, could you head to the company today and review the contract alongside our legal director? Since our partnership with New East will involve a few billions, we have to make sure everything is perfect before they sign it.] This time, Clarissa had no choice but to attend the meeting. Since Damien had always asked Ray to attend the meetings in his stead, it was obvious he didn't want to bump into Clarissa as well.

If he wasn't going to attend the meeting, then Clarissa could attend it without having to worry. After all, it was a matter of time before she had to talk to Ray anyway.

C

Eden Investment Corporation.

Before Ray arrived, Clarissa and the legal director, and President Benson, were the only ones discussing the details of the contract.

They were so drawn in their discussion, Clarissa didn't hear the footsteps echoing from outside.

In the midst of their deep conversation, Charles immediately stopped and stood up to greet someone. "President Lawrence, welcome!" Clarissa looked up. Lo and behold, Damien entered her vision.
