Love in Twilight

Chapter 109

Chapter 109 She couldn’t Afford to Offend Him By the time the meeting was over, It was already three.

Damien was starving, and he asked his assistant to get him something to cat.

After that, he called Clarissa. “Come to my office.”

Over the phone, she could tell that he was suppressing his anger. She knew exactly what had

happened. Howard had told her about it the moment he came back to the office, Damien had been

embarrassed in front of all the senior management stall.

Clarissa went to his office.

“What did you mean by that, playing me like a lool?” Seated in his chair, Damien questioned her like he

would a subordinate. He lit a cigarette, then threw the lighter onto his desk. “I’ve been making

shepherd’s pie for at least a decade. I could’ve made it perfectly with my eyes closed, and it definitely

wouldn’t have been too salty. Why did you say it was too salty?!” Clarissa was defiant. She didn’t back

down after tricking Damien. On the contrary, she felt she hadn’t done anything wrong.

“At least a decade? Do you like it that much?” Damien asked.

She fell silent for a short while. “No, I’m not the one who likes it. I don’t like the taste of onions.”

“Who is it, then?” Damien had the upper hand now. Clarissa had originally been mad about him

allowing Madelynn to cat the food she’d cooked, but now, she had grown tired by simply trying to

answer his questions.

“It’s… someone in my family.”

“Me?”

“No! Were you part of my family a decade ago?” Clarissa rolled her eyes, irritated by his stupidity. At

the same time, his teasing angered her even more.

“Oh, right. I’ve only just become part of your family.”

His mention of being her family warmed her heart, and she softened her tone. “Madelynn told me the

food was on the sally side. That’s just not possible!”

“Oh, she was the one who told you. So, you were jealous? That’s why you took it out on me?”

Damien’s tone was still calm, as il everything that Clarissa was saying was within his expectations.

Clarissa was embarrassed that he’d seen through her so easily, and she flushed crimson.

“I… I wasn’ı! Anyway…” she stammered. Though she was in the right, Damien managed to get the

upper hand every time they argued. “I brought Joseph’s book and notes back yesterday!”

“Did you bring them back to show me? To tell me that you were jealous, so you wanted to make me

jealous as well?

He looked at her teasingly.

“You… I…” She couldn’t think of anything to say. Why was lie so hateful?

“You, what?” Darnion was inexplicably amused by her expression.

“From today onward, I resuse to cook. It’s tiring to wake up so carly in the morning. Also, love eating

fish and chips!” She turned and left right after,

She didn’t know how inucli she would continue to expose if she were to stay here.

Back in her office, Clarissa felt that she had been so useless. She hadn’t managed to get him to say

what she wanted to hear, but he’d managed to dig out her deepest thoughts!

At this moment, she heard lier colleagues whispering excitedly. It turned out that since it was almost the

end of the year, management liad decided to give everyone a raise. It was only natural for everyone to

be cxcited.

Clarissa hadn’t heard anything about this, however.

After she had completed her probation, she received a thirty percent raise. When she was promoted to

finance manager, she received an additional one thousand dollars. After these two raises, she didn’t

know whether she would get another one this time. Logically speaking, the raise was for all employees,

and she knew she had done a good job so far

She texted Howard to check.

Clarissa: (Director Brooks, am I included in this round’s pay raise? Howard: [You should be, but the

president just told me he needs to give it some thought.) Clarissa was dumbfounded. He had to think

about it?

She had definitely been included in this round’s pay raise before he’d opened up the lunclibox. Aller NôvelDrama.Org content.

opening it, he had to consider it…

Her special lunchbox had come at a terrible time! She could only bemoan her misfortune.

Furthermore, she had told Damien that she wouldn’t be preparing breakfast for him anymore.

Damien was using this to force her to apologize!

He was telling her that she couldn’t afford to offend him!

Clarissa was still furious about the lunchbox. She simmered in her seat with her arms crossed over her

chest, unable to focus on anything. How could she be so unlu

It was obvious Damien wanted her to plead for forgiveness.

She refused to fall for it, though.

She sent him a text,

Clarissa: (I’ll be back late. I’m going shopping with Lily.] If he thought she would trip over herself to

apologize to him because he’d pulled such a trick, he had another thought coming. She wanted her

dignity to remain intact, thank you! Even if she were to apologize, she needed some time to work up to

it.

Damien: (Olay.1
