Benjamin walked to her side and suddenly hugged her. It was as if there were thousands of words that could not be said. Jacey did not refute. It was as if the two of them had known each other for a long time. It was as if they had known each other for a long time."Your mother did a good job with this exhibition," Jacey said."It's good. After all, you're an expert in this field," Benjamin said. "Or if you have any requests when you get married, tell my mother and let her customize the most beautiful jewelry for you.""Married?" Jacey didn't understand.She had never thought about marriage. Why did she feel so close to her when Benjamin mentioned it?She still felt quite confused."I'll treat you to a meal later?" Benjamin said. "What do you want to eat?"Jacey's eyes lit up. "Hotpot? How about a hotpot?"Benjamin smiled and said, "I thought you had a profound hobby. This is it."Jacey smiled again.Jacey didn't like the feeling of being surrounded by people, so she chose the
Clarissa Johnson woke up in the middle of the night. No one would believe her, but she had sex with Damien Lawrence last night.It was her first time. Despite that, she did not feel much. The only thing that left a deep impression on her was Damien’s stubble intimately caressing her face. She could feel his breath on her neck and he kissed her ear. Damien’s husky, low voice made Clarissa’s face heat up. He also kept murmuring a name by her ear. However, she could not hear it clearly from the beginning until the end. Nonetheless, Clarissa was unaffected and still thrilled. At midnight, Clarissa woke up. Damien was still asleep beside her. She glanced at the man’s grim face. For some reason, she felt they had gotten much closer. Clarissa craved the warmth of his embrace. She even had a wild thought of hugging him until she fell asleep. However, Clarissa knew that she would be bringing trouble upon herself if she did not leave at that moment.Damien Lawrence was New East Corporati
Clarissa’s colleagues were very quiet. No doubt, it was due to Damien being on the bus. Due to that, her phone’s ringtone sounded particularly loud. When Clarissa helped Damien back to his room, her phone was in her pants pocket. It probably dropped when she was taking off her clothes. After an enchanting session, she had forgotten all about it. Clarissa quickly composed herself. Damien seemingly took the bus to capture his “prey”. It was unknown if he knew that she was the person who slept with him. However, based on Lily’s words from earlier, Damien had most likely found out the truth. Hence, Clarissa decided to just reveal herself. Lily looked at Clarissa with a puzzled gaze. She tilted her head in Damien’s direction and asked, “What’s going on?”“Stop calling.” Clarissa held Lily’s hands down. This was an extremely awkward situation. She did not even know how to begin explaining. “Why is your phone with President Lawrence?” Lily asked Clarrisa again in a low voice. The
Clarissa looked around. There was no one else in the office. Damien said, “I’m talking to you.”“What?”“Marry me.” Damien repeated his words.Clarissa was not mishearing things after all. Nonetheless, she was still in a daze. There was still a month until she graduated from university. She had considered marriage before this, but not at the moment. ‘Is Damien testing me?’ Clarissa speculated. A president would not lose anything by sleeping with an intern. Still, there would be a negative impact. He was probably trying to see if Clarissa had any inappropriate thoughts. Clarissa felt complicated. Damien’s eyes and embrace were warm. To her, he was different from other men even though their sexual encounter was accidental. At the same time, she was aware that it was impossible for them to be together in this lifetime.She was a woman of unequal status in comparison to him. Even though he mentioned marriage, it was definitely not because he liked her. Clarissa recalled Dam
Damien stared at Clarissa. She probably had an ulterior motive on the night they slept together. Why else would she “accidentally” leave her phone in the room? Surprisingly, she rejected him without any hesitation. That impressed him. Of course, if she were to regret her action in the future, he would only look down on her further. The trick of playing hard to get was not new. Using that method on him would only bring humiliation to herself. “Okay. You can leave.” Damien ordered Clarissa to leave coldly. After returning to her office, Clarissa realized that she was not angry. In fact, she just felt her heart sink. Regardless, she had already rejected Damien’s request. So, she decided to stop thinking about it. The most important thing right now was to remain in New East Corporation. After all, New East Corporation’s benefits were second to none in the whole of Genovia. While Clarissa was battling her inner thoughts, she received a Whatsapp message from her brother, Luke Joh
Clarissa exited the hospital after eight o’clock. It started drizzling. She took a public bus back to the company. As Clarissa entered the company’s lobby, she saw Damien’s handsome and tall figure. One of his hands was in his trouser pocket while the other was holding a phone. He was talking to the receptionist. The lighting of the company’s lobby was extravagant and bright. It shone on Damien which made him look more noble and distant.Clarissa suddenly felt nervous. They had not met even once in the past few months. Why did she keep running into him lately?When Damien passed by Clarissa, he was engaged in a call. She did not know whether he heard her greeting him. After getting in the elevator, she watched as Damien’s figure disappeared into the night. It rained heavily that night. Clarissa wondered if he had brought an umbrella. In the past, her father often forgot to take an umbrella with him. Clarissa would run after him from behind, handing him an umbrella. Her fath
When Damien saw Clarissa standing at the door, he knew she had regretted her choice.He scorned her even more for playing hard to get. She had overestimated her capabilities.Clarissa was well alert. After all, she was there to beg Damien. There was an inevitable hint of flattery in her voice. “You’re early, President Lawrence.”“Not as early as you.” After speaking, Damien opened the door and sat on his office chair. He turned on his computer and went through some documents.“Do you have any business with me?” Damien asked Clarissa indifferently with a cold tone. His voice was hoarse. Clarissa suddenly remembered that he did not have an umbrella when it rained heavily last night. So, she quickly asked, “Did you catch a cold, President Lawrence? Drink more water. Do you have any medicine?”This could be a minor or severe matter. One time, Clarissa’s father worked extra hours in the rain on the construction site and was bedridden for a few days.“Get to the point.” There was a
Damien’s WhatsApp name was his actual name, Damien Lawrence.For someone as prominent as him, there was no need to give himself a nickname. His name represented everything. Clarissa looked through Damien’s Instagram. There was not much content besides him sharing articles written by New East Corporation’s public relations department.To ensure Damien did not stand out on her contact list, she deliberately named him “Stranger”. After Clarissa saved his contact, “Stranger” sent a message. [ We’ll sign an agreement and get our marriage license tomorrow. ]There were no unexpected changes. Damien was indeed a man of his words.[ Okay. ]After getting off work, Clarissa went back to her university dormitory to look for her birth certificate.Then, she went to New East Mall and purchased a white shirt. It would be more appropriate since she was registering for marriage.New East Mall actually belonged to Damien. He had a considerable number of businesses.The next morning, Clar
