The two shirts cost 5 thousand dollars.

In Clarissa’s current situation, five thousand dollars was an astronomical sum.

Outsiders couldn’t enter the audit department, so she met with the store clerk at the reception desk.

She asked whether she could pay them together with the following month’s bill.

The store clerk smiled. “Miss Johnson, we just work there. We have to keep a monthly record.”

“I forgot to bring my cell phone, though,” Clarissa said.

“That’s okay. I can wait here while you go back upstairs to get your phone.”

Clarissa fell silent.

She was backed into a corner.

She couldn’t bring herself to borrow any money from Lily, because she knew that Lily was always short of money at the end of the month. Lily spent more than she earned, and her mother even had to give her some allowance every month. Moreover, Clarissa could already imagine what would happen if she were to borrow money from Lily.

    Damien took out a card. “This is my secondary credit card. You can hold on to it.”“Do I need to pay you back for this?” Clarissa blinked at him.“Since you don’t want the five million anymore, you can take it that I’m sponsoring all of your expenses.”Clarissa figured that since it was almost payday, things would be better once she had her salary. She would take this credit card as an emergency measure.“What’s the pin? I’ll take it down.” She pulled her phone out and got ready to take down the pin.“000215.”“Does it mean anything special? It’ll make it easier for me to remember,” Clarissa said.After a moment of silence, Damien said, “It’s my birthday.”“Oh, right, your birthday. I forgot all about it,” she said awkwardly after a pause.In truth, she didn’t even know when his birthday was, let alone forget about it. She was afraid Damien would mock her again, like how he’d done when she hadn’t known about his age. She had to find a way to make herself look better.“Drop th

    Clarissa ignored Connie’s jab. She quickly picked two belts with Lily’s help, one black and one brown. They weren’t from a luxury brand, but the quality was pretty good.She hoped Damien would like them.They cost 1,790 dollars in total. Connie gave her the receipt.After paying, Clarissa turned to leave. Right then, she saw another woman walk toward her.‘Indeed, one can’t avoid one’s enemies.’Madelynn was dressed elegantly. She walked up to Clarissa.At that moment, she held a shopping bag.Clarissa was starting to recognize more brands after being with Damien for some time. She knew that Madelynn had bought something from Patek Philippe.“What did you buy, Miss Johnson?” Madelynn sounded like she couldn’t wait to make fun of Clarissa.“Belts for Damien.”“What’s the brand?” Madelynn looked up at the store, and then tutted. “I’ve never even heard of it. Do you plan on using such a cheap brand to win Damien’s heart? You probably won’t succeed.”Clarissa ignored her. She gr

    When Clarissa got home, she spotted Damien sitting on the sofa.She hurriedly stuffed the belts into her bag.They weren’t anything expensive, but she had still put her heart into picking them out.Damien knew very well what was up. Since the gift would be revealed the next day, he wouldn’t push her for an answer tonight.Clarissa was about to head upstairs when Damien stopped her.“What’s up?” She looked at him.“I have a gift for you.”“A gift for me?” She was confused. “Isn’t tomorrow your birthday? Why do you have a gift for me?”“Don’t you know what day it is?” Damien frowned slightly.“It’s the day before your birthday.”“Didn’t you and Zach ever celebrate this day?”Clarissa thought about what he was saying. It was only then that she remembered it was Valentine’s Day.However, she had thought that they were merely two parties in a contractual marriage. They weren’t lovers.It was odd to describe her and Damien that way, and it also made her mind throng with thoughts

    As the atmosphere grew more tense, Luke and Emily arrived.Now, Luke would always turn up on important days. Emily, on the other hand, came along because she was interested in Damien. She didn’t have the nerve to do anything about it, though. She only wanted to watch him from afar.Luke brought Damien a lot of supplements. He said they were for Grandpa Lawrence.He knew that Damien wouldn’t be frugal with him, and the supplements were just a small investment.Everyone sat down at the dining table.“My gift?” It was obvious that Clarissa would just be humiliating herself by taking the two belts out.She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. “I bought you…”She trailed off. After all, it was a private matter between the two of them.“So, how do you plan on making it through the day?” Damien asked Clarissa with narrowed eyes.She had already bought him something the day before, and he could already guess why she hadn’t brought it out on this day.“Isn’t a

    Meanwhile, Madelynn went home in a rage.She noticed that Clarissa and Damien’s relationship was getting better and better recently.When Madelynn was packing, she realized that her assistant had forgotten to put her foundation into her makeup bag.She was so furious that she called her assistant and gave the latter a thorough scolding.At the end of the conversation, Madelynn fired her assistant.Monica asked her what had happened, and Madelynn replied sullenly, “Don’t even ask. I feel like there’s no way for me to get in between them.”“Well, see whether Clarissa has any other weaknesses that you can use.”“I have to get myself another assistant first because I have to film tomorrow. But where am I going to find one at such short notice?” Madelynn’s mood didn’t show any improvement.She suddenly thought about the store clerk from before.The store clerk had been quite thoughtful, and she was also Madelynn’s fan.Madelynn quickly dug up the store clerk’s name card and called

    It was already spring, and the days were getting longer.The sky had yet to darken at five in the evening.Thanks to Damien, Clarissa had to endure an additional hour of tutoring after work.After work, she went to his office as per his instructions.This time, she wanted to pay attention and see whether he actually read her journal.She had deliberately slipped a strand of hair among the pages for this day’s entry. If he read the journal, the hair would fall out or at least be in a different position. Then, she would be able to tell.Her tutoring started after she handed in her journal.Damien was right. Ray was a great teacher, managing to explain difficult concepts in a simple manner.However, financial and cost management was relatively simple to her.That was why she kept losing focus. Every time she sat up straight, she would sneak a peek at Damien to see what he was up to.He was busy with his work. Now and then, his secretary would ask him to sign documents.Clarissa

    At Hatton Hotel, which was renowned in Genovia.Dennis had booked a private room. He and Damien were the only people inside.“Peterson, how’s your personal life going?” Damien sounded like he couldn’t wait to hear Dennis’s answer.“Oh, come on, President Lawrence. My wife had an affair with some young dude, and I couldn’t be more disgraced. Then again, what can a woman with no money and no skills like her do? No one forced her to do something like this, and she’s been begging me to take her back,” Dennis replied.Damien smiled. “It’s all thanks to whatever tricks you have up your sleeve.”“We’re no better than each other. What would you do in this situation, President Lawrence? Ever since that bitch left, I’ve been enjoying myself and leveling the playing field. Seeing her suffer just made things that much better. I heard her lover dumped her after he found himself another rich lady.” He continued, “President Lawrence, I heard your wife’s really innocent. I doubt something like th

    Clarissa’s head was buzzing. In the end, she threw herself into Theresa’s arms and burst into tears.“Don’t cry, Clary. Nothing’s changed between us, okay?” Theresa said.Clarissa recalled the things that had happened over the years. As a child, Luke used to bully her all the time. Theresa would buy her candy and chase after Luke with a broom. During elementary school, Theresa would handwash her clothes, while Luke, who was in high school, would have to wash his clothes on his own. This made Luke hate Clarissa even more. Every time Clarissa got good results, she would be praised endlessly. Luke, on the other hand, would be suspected of cheating when he occasionally did well for an exam.Luke’s failed life was largely related to being compared to Clarissa all the time.Clarissa was the one who had snatched Luke’s parents away from him. Suddenly, she felt extremely sorry for him.“Mom, I’m going to bed,” Clarissa said to Theresa. She went back to her room.She didn’t turn on the li

    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

    Kenny smoked as he spoke. He had the look of a veteran in society. It was hard not to believe that he was a nouveau riche who did not hesitate to sacrifice the lives of his subordinates to save money."Sir, you've found the right person. Come and take a look." The workshop owner said. Then, he whispered a few words into Kenny's ear and asked, "Can you accept it?""What's so unacceptable about that? I'm definitely showing it to Party A. These people grew up in the countryside. What kind of milk have they drunk? I can't tell if it's true or not," Kenny said."Alright, alright," the workshop owner said with a smile."Just don't make it obvious. I'll go take a look at the manufacturing workshop." Kenny said.The owner of the workshop was initially quite shy, but Kenny said that he had ordered a lot, so the other party agreed.As soon as he entered the workshop, Jacey secretly turned on the pinhole camera when the workshop owner was not paying attention and filmed the production proce

    Jacey felt that under Kenny's serious and unsmiling appearance, there was a soft and warm heart.This note looked like it had been around for a long time. It was unknown how long Kenny searched last night before he found it and gave it to Jacey so easily.Jacey left.However, she did not expect that something would happen on her first day there.She brought a vacuum camera and made her clothes look like rural women's. After finding the milk production point, she said that she wanted to order milk in large quantities because she heard that the milk here was very cheap.The people in the workshop looked at each other and said, "I'm not selling!"The people in the workshop were very smart and vigilant. Their workshop had a fixed delivery channel. This woman was alone and was unlikely to be here to order. They found an excuse and sent Jacey away.No matter how much Jacey dawdled, the other party refused to let her in.For a moment, Jacey didn't know what to do. She was quite depres

    Jacey was a little stunned. She really didn't know much about what the parents were talking about.Moreover, she hadn't interacted with Benjamin for a few days. Moreover, when Ashlyn came to visit this time, she didn't say a word about him. It made her feel very uneasy. She even wondered if he didn't mean that at all. It was all her own wishful thinking…For the past few days, Benjamin had not come to look for Jacey. She had not contacted him either.However, a few days later, Jacey received a Whatsapp message from Benjamin. There were many photos. It was a rather high-class living room. There were boxes in the living room. The living room was simple and noble, like a top-notch courtyard house.[This is the showroom and display cabinet for my mother's medieval jewelry. How about letting your mother take a look?] Benjamin said.[Where is this place? This place is so beautiful.][My mother's dowry. The courtyard house in Genovia.] Benjamin said.Jacey thought to herself, "As expec

    Today, Benjamin had already returned home."How is it? How's your first time meeting your in-laws alone?" Calvin teased Ashlyn."It's quite good. I'm preparing to hold a medieval jewelry exhibition and then let my employees learn medieval video skills. I said that I wanted to use their jewelry as an exhibition, but they didn't even want the deposit. How generous," Ashlyn said lazily as she leaned against the sofa."It's… it's over?" Calvin looked at Ashlyn and said in surprise.Benjamin sat there and smiled."What else?" Ashlyn asked."What are you going to do this time? Aren't you going to look for your daughter-in-law? Did you see what she looked like?" Calvin poured a cup of tea for Ashlyn.After so many years, Ashlyn still hadn't changed from her usual macho self. In fact, she was even more macho than before. Perhaps Calvin had been the one to deal with everything after marriage, developing Ashlyn's habit of not using her brain.Of course, it only meant that she didn't use

    For some reason, Ashlyn felt like crying when she saw this. In the past, these jewelry had traveled to another country. Now, these jewelry were all back with stories.She thought about how the person who owned these jewelry had brought them overseas and brought them back…She felt that the Irving family was worthy of admiration.Linda had gone out at some point. Seeing that Ashlyn was looking at her very seriously, she didn't disturb her.When she came in again, she was carrying a cup of coffee. The fragrant Americano she'd just ordered from the coffee machine on the first floor. It was made from good coffee beans.She handed the coffee to Ashlyn."Have a cup of coffee when you're tired. Anyway, these jewelry don't have long legs. They won't run away on their own," Linda said. "You can come and take a look whenever you want. I've always been here."Only then did Ashlyn feel that she had been watching for an hour or two, but she had always been like a pious primary school student

    On Saturday afternoon, Ashlyn drove to Jacey's house, a very simple villa.Ashlyn knew that writers liked to live in such a quiet place because they had inspiration in such a place.Jacey's mother, Linda, was already standing on her steps to welcome her.Linda was dressed in a Chinese-style robe. She looked very ancient, but because she was slender, she looked especially good. She looked like a fairy.Ashlyn was dressed in a very fashionable modern outfit. She was wearing a knee-length skirt, pearl earrings, and earrings. She looked especially round and beautiful. One look and one could tell that she was the kind of person who had never experienced the blow of life."I'm Jacey's mother. Nice to meet you, Mrs. Conrad." Linda reached out and held Isobel's hand. "Jacey said that you're coming to our house to take a look. I am so happy. I specially brought all the jewelry from the other houses here and packed them up. If these jewelry can be displayed in the exhibition and let everyon

    "Excuse me, how did you know about me?" Jacey asked."Oh, Benjamin's phone was on the table that day. He went to the washroom and I happened to see the photo album he was looking through. I picked it up and saw these few pieces of jewelry. You know it too. As jewelry makers, we won't let go of those rare jewelry no matter what. I asked Benjamin where these pieces of jewelry came from and he told me about you," Ashlyn said neither servile nor overbearing.She understood a girl's mentality very well. She knew that if the woman found out that the man had taken the initiative to leak her news to her parents, she would be very disgusted and feel passive. Therefore, she did not say that. Instead, she said that she had seen it herself. She even said that Benjamin was looking at these photos at that time.Jacey's heart would probably feel warm. After all, a man was looking at her photo behind her back. She should have a good impression of this man.Jacey really thought so. When she heard A

    After Benjamin returned home, he showed Ashlyn the jewelry he had taken for Jacey.Ashlyn was very knowledgeable. One look at this jewelry and she knew that it was priceless.Moreover, the girl wearing the jewelry also had extremely good skin and was extremely delicate.Calvin, who was sitting at the side, also watched.However, Ashlyn didn't just look at the jewelry. She said, "You only bought jewelry. Who is this person wearing jewelry behind you?"Ashlyn asked Benjamin gossipily."Don't ask," Benjamin said.Ashlyn smiled. "You said that you only took photos of the jewelry but didn't take photos of her. Aren't you trying to arouse my curiosity? Now that I'm curious, you're not making a move. However, I've been working on researching National Jewelry recently, so I'm lacking samples in this area. When are you going to ask this girl out? Let me take a closer look. From her appearance, I think she's dressed very well. Moreover, I can see her face from her bone structure. I think
