Monday soon came. Clarissa got out of Damien’s car as it stopped in front of the New East Corporation’s entrance.Entering the lobby, Clarissa bumped into Lily.“Look at you, all glowed up! Was last night that great?” Lily teased. “Don’t say that!” Clarissa looked around instinctively. Fortunately, she didn’t see Damien around.Yet for some reason, she felt a void in her heart.She knew this marriage wouldn’t go anywhere. As much as it disappointed her, this was the pain she would have to bear.After working for the entire day, it was time for her lunch break. But just as she was about to rest, she heard loud noises coming from the entrance.A group of people entered the office pushing trolleys of food.“Thanks for the hard work, everyone! Here’s a treat from Miss York.” Clarissa stretched her body as she thought to herself, ‘Miss York? Madelynn York?”Everyone immediately looked at Clarissa.‘What are you guys looking at me for?’When Clarissa got the packed meal, she s

Once Clarissa reached home, she said to Grandpa Lawrence, “I’m skipping dinner.”“Why? Are you on a diet?” Grandpa Lawrence was concerned.“It’s not that. I’ve already eaten at the office.”“Eat less, don’t eat nothing!” Grandpa Lawrence insisted. Clarissa returned to her room after chatting with Grandpa Lawrence for a while.Around eight, she started having stomach pains.She curled herself up on the bed, sweating all over.Upon entering the room, Damien took note of her strange condition and frowned. “Do you have a fever?”“I don’t think so…” Clarissa was shivering when she answered.She noticed his expression and grabbed his arm. “I’m not sure what I did again. I just can’t seem to understand you and your mood swings!”Damien looked at her. “It’s not the time to talk about this now.”He glared daggers at her.His expression terrified Clarrisa.“We’re going to the hospital.” Damien picked Clarissa up without waiting for her response and headed downstairs.They went to

“You’re an outstanding young man, Joseph. But why is it that you don’t have a partner yet?” Damien asked with a smile.“I haven’t found a suitable woman I resonate with,” Joseph replied, his face going pale.Damien no longer wished to converse with Joseph. Instead, he started talking about a piece of gossip that shocked Genovia to the core some time ago. The wife of a famous financier, Dennis Peterson, was caught red-handed having an affair with a handsome man much younger than her. She originally thought her husband wouldn’t do anything to her, but little did she know that Dennis had already discovered them snuggling together in bed. Her husband ended up taking nudes of them and uploading the pictures everywhere, thus ruining their reputations. Dennis also got a divorce with that woman and kicked her out of his house. From that day onward, both cougar and homewrecker were unable to continue living in Genovia.“You’re right. That woman should’ve minded her behavior because of her id

“Enter.” Damien’s cold and emotionless voice drifted from his office, giving Clarissa the permission to enter that private space.She stood right in the middle of his office without a word, her eyes narrowed in silent fury.Damien leaned back on his chair, and began to study Clarissa.“I see money is an incentive for you to come here instead of my command,” Damien pointed out sardonically.“Stop beating around the bush, Mr. Lawrence. I’m busy with the accounting sheets right now,” Clarissa retorted with a deadpan tone.“I lost something at home. I was wondering if you’ve seen it.”Clarissa frowned slightly as she lifted her head to look at Damien. What did he mean by that? Why would he look for her immediately when he lost something at home?Perhaps… Was he insinuating that she was a thief?“Didn’t you take away the marriage certificates? If it wasn’t you, that means someone broke into my house. I’ll have to call the police,” Damien said seriously.Clarissa managed to calm dow

Initially, Clarissa had planned to spend the night in her dorm.But now that she had leaked her marriage with Damien to the rest of the company, she needed to pay the liquidated damages. Not only did she lose five million dollars in a flash, but there was also a chance that she had to pay extra money to compensate for her blunder.In order to survive, she had no choice but to apologize to Damien.When Damien reached his car, he noticed Clarissa standing next to the vehicle.He paused for a moment. “What’s the meaning of this, Miss Johnson?”“Mr. Lawrence, I spent the night in my mother’s ward last night since the caretaker was unable to take on all the duties on her own. As her daughter, I need to fulfill my responsibilities too, right?” Clarissa squeezed out a rigid smile.“So?” Damien pulled out a stick of cigarette and started smoking it, leaning casually against the car as he did so.“I’m worried that Grandpa might worry about my absence last night, so I’ll go home with you
