Love in Twilight novel (Clarissa and Damien)

On Saturday, Clarissa went to New East Corporation for the meeting.

The staff weren't working on that day, so Clarissa was subject to much less gossip.

Clarissa sat in the middle of the conference room while Damien took up the main seat as usual. From start to end, Damien barely looked at her.

Clarissa was very quiet, silently concentrating on the presentation on the slides.

At that moment, someone knocked at the door.

Damien's assistant came in. She said, "Mr. Lawrence, Mrs. Lawrence has sent you food."

The amount of people who had overheard Damien and Ray that day were already pretty excited. Thus, the news had been spread far and wide that Chanel was Damien's wife. When Clarissa heard the assistant's words, her face instantly turned red from anger.

Mrs. Lawrence...

She really couldn't stand it. They had just gotten married, and now, his new wife was at the office too.

Mrs. Lawrence was now someone else.

Ray and Janet both shot Clarissa a meaningful look. They saw how she kept twirling the pencil in her hand or poking the tip into the pad of her finger, her face scarlet. Ray felt awkward in her stead.

Damien must be doing this on purpose. What a cruel man!

Meanwhile, Damien was unmoved.

Ray dropped his pen and sat in his seat huffily. He couldn't stand it.

Chanel entered the room.

"Damien, I'm here. You asked me to come on the weekend, so here I am. I specially made you some soup. Here, have a taste," Chanel said warmly.

"Alright. Take it to my office."

"Come quickly, okay?" After speaking, Chanel left.

Clarissa kept her head bowed all throughout this exchange. She wondered how someone could change so quickly.

Clarissa barely absorbed any of the information from the rest of the meeting.

When the meeting ended, Clarissa hurried to leave the conference room.

She was thinking about how devious Damien was to bring Chanel here to spite her. In that case, she couldn't allow herself to seem weak. She would have to dress up to show him up. She was no longer the old Clarissa. She was Queen Clarissa!

Of course, it was also possible Damien hadn't wanted to intentionally spite her. The two were so in love, after all. She frequently saw lifestyle news where ex-classmates slept together after ten years and fell more in love with each other...

Although Clarissa had been gone for only a week, he could've slept with Chanel and thought that the latter was good in bed.

Chanel was someone soft and sweet with her words. Maybe she was the same in bed.

Since Damien found this aspect so important, of course he needed to find a partner who could satisfy him in that regard.

At that thought, Clarissa gave a disdainful snicker.

Meanwhile, in Damien's office.

"Damien, is the soup good?" Chanel asked, sounding like an innocent young girl. When she saw Damien, her vision turned rose-tinted.

"It's not bad." Damien was truly hungry, though.

"Actually, Mrs. Faber made this. I only came today to visit you. Mrs. Faber said you're here for a meeting and asked me to bring this to you. I saw that Clarissa was here too. She must've done something to displease you, now that you're doing this to her. I just wanted to help you."

"Thank you," Damien said politely. "Right. I said that we've already gotten our marriage certificate."

Chanel bit her lower lip lightly. "Okay. I won't let anything slip."

"That's good. After everything's done, just tell me what you want," Damien said casually.

Chanel was a learned person, so this kind of talk made her feel small. She was extremely upset to hear Damien say such a thing, even though she didn't show it.

She felt nothing but love for Damien, yet he thought of her as someone superficial.

He and Clarissa were both the same!
