After receiving the phone number, Damien dialed it.

The call soon connected. Caleb turned out to have a rather nice voice, and he was very polite with his words.

“Are you President Lawrence?”

“Yes.”

“Apologies for the trouble, sir. Where are you now? I’ll go to you.”

“I’m at Imperial. Contact my driver directly, and he’ll pass the things to you.”

“Okay. Thank you, President Lawrence.” Caleb hung up after that.

Damien stared at his phone and muttered to himself, “Youth.”

That stunned Ray, who was enjoying his steak. He looked away from his food and turned to Damien with an incredulous stare. “What on earth are you talking about? You’re still young.”

“I am?” Damien looked at Ray.

“Well, you’re still single.”

Damien immediately frowned, obviously unhappy at Ray’s cheeky answer.

Ray chuckled, and resumed eating.

“Seems we’re not returning today. Let’s stay the night at my grandfather’s place,” Damien said.

“Sure.”

After dinner, they went back.

The next morning, the chauffeu

    It had been three years since Clarissa decided to pull a disappearing act.She became the hardest working student in her class, but she was cautious and kept a low profile the entire time.She would be the first to attend class and the last to leave.Most of the time, she would spend her after-class hours in the library.It seemed her entire life revolved around academics.There were a lot of pictures of her son Neil on her phone. They were the pictures she had taken before she left Genovia.Since then, she never had any new ones. Of course, she kept her mind occupied and tried not to think of anything else but her studies.Studying was difficult and challenging, but she had never felt more accomplished throughout the years.Her academic achievements helped to add color into her dull and monotonous life.As time went by, her eyesight worsened and her hair grew longer.Her skin had somehow become even fairer. Due to her deteriorating eyesight, she was forced to wear glasses

    Two months passed in the blink of an eye. Soon, Clarissa had officially graduated.In July, Clarissa arrived at Florin.As an employee recommended by the staff in the university, Clarissa was anointed directly as an assistant lecturer. But with that title, she couldn’t supervise postgraduate students as the actual job scope of an assistant lecturer was leading lectures only. Thus, Prof. Franklin, the lecturer Clarissa worked under, gave Clarissa the power to supervise postgraduate students under her name. Technically, that made Clarissa a professor who was responsible for teaching undergraduates and postgraduates who were currently studying in the faculty of finance.Since Clarissa was an employee, the school had assigned an apartment unit for Clarissa. It was a small apartment with two bedrooms and a living room.The moment she moved in, she cleaned the entire house and headed to the supermarket to shop for some groceries.She came back home by taxi. Since it was the holidays, ca

    Clarissa didn’t put Caleb’s flattery to heart.Since there was still some time before the semester started, Clarissa spent her days reading books in her small apartment. She also thought about contributing a few articles to her university’s journal. That, and she planned to pay Chanel a visit soon.Chanel also lived inside the university, though in a different dormitory. She lived at one of the staff dormitories called Indigo Hall.They didn’t treat their meeting as a grand occasion, and agreed to meet at the school’s restaurant only.Chanel couldn’t help but feel surprised when she saw Clarissa once again. Today, Clarissa was wearing a blue T-shirt paired with a pair of white shorts. Although her attire was simple, the quality of her clothes was still top-notch, and that reflected Clarissa’s unique sense of style.Clarissa had been paying attention to the quality of her clothes ever since she went overseas. Though there weren’t a lot of clothes in her wardrobe, each and every one

    The months went by, and September came.Summer break ended and the University of Florin had opened its doors again. Since it was the start of the semester, there were many students around campus.Being among youngsters made Clarissa feel youthful again.Wednesday morning, and Clarissa had a lecture to lead. The lecture was compulsory for all finance students. The module itself was named Research in Finance and Accounting.Today, she was wearing a one-piece denim dress. The soft and skin-tight fabric adhered to her body line, which accentuated her slim waistline. With light makeup and her hair tied into a bun, she looked young and refreshing. She appeared proper and professional as a teacher.This year, there were only around twenty postgraduate students admitted into the faculty of finance, with a few of them majoring in different areas.Since today was Clarissa’s first class, she was slightly nervous. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead due to the hot weather.“Hello, everyon

  • Love in Twilight   Chapter 410 Clarissa’s Mind Was In Disarray

    There was only one class every week for the module, which was Theory of Accounting.Aside from working as an assistant lecturer and postgraduate supervisor, Clarissa still had to publish her article. As of now, her life was hectic but productive.One day, one of her mentees, Lisa Henson, asked her, “Miss Johnson, do you want to watch the basketball match with me later? It’s a state challenge involving all the universities in Florin.”“I still have a meeting to attend in the evening. Thank you for the offer, though,” Clarissa rejected politely.“Alright. If you ever change your mind, I still have your ticket, okay?”“Thank you.”This evening, she had a meeting with Eden Investment. The agenda was to discuss investment strategies and the client requirements in terms of investment pathway and fund value.Since Eden Investment still hadn’t disclosed information about their clientele to her, Clarissa didn’t know who she was meeting later.After changing into a white shirt and work d

  • Love in Twilight   Chapter 411 Do You Know Who I’m Talking About?

    By the time Clarissa left Eden Investment, it was already four in the evening.On the way back in the taxi, memories of the past kept flooding her mind. Her mind was in complete disarray at the moment.After she got back to Marble Garden, Clarissa changed into casual wear, which consisted of a T-shirt and short pants.At first, she thought about resting for a while before going for dinner, but she changed plans when her phone rang.Lisa: [Miss Johnson, the basketball match is about to start. I’ve reserved a seat for you, it’s in the front row labeled C. Come here now!]Clarissa smiled. When she was still a student, she wouldn’t be able to squeeze through the crowd to watch a match, let alone secure seats. Now that she had become a teacher, her student was the one reserving a seat for her.As expected, a profession as a lecturer at university was way better than that of a normal white-collared job. Since universities were always brimming with club activities, Clarissa’s life would

    “Yes, I know who you’re talking about.” Damien was signing some documents when he added, “Write a report about the meeting and submit it to me by today.”“I’ve already done it. I’ll send it to you later.” Feeling slightly annoyed, Ray waved his hand as he thought, ‘That’s not the point here!’“She’s working as Eden Investment Corporation’s independent director right now,” Ray said, going back to the topic again.“She’s a Ph.D. graduate, after all. That’s not surprising news to me.”“Damien, why do you sound like you don’t care about her?” Ray was displeased.“Why do I have to care about her? It all happened in the past. It doesn’t matter now.”Although Damien seemed calm on the surface, he was actually slightly rattled by the news. When Chanel was pursuing his love many years ago, she was so obsessed with him to the point she threatened to kill herself if he didn’t accept her as his lover.Until now, Damien could still remember the sight of Chanel’s tears streaming down her face

    After she cleared out all the books from the shelf, Clarissa saw a familiar face just opposite her. It was Caleb Mckenny, and he was organizing the books on the shelves.With tears shimmering in her eyes, Clarissa didn’t feel comfortable showing her vulnerable side in front of her student.“Why are you here?” she asked.“I work here. Miss Johnson, have you been crying?” he asked as he organized the books.“No,” Clarissa lied.“Miss Johnson, you’re five years older than me, right?” Caleb asked.“What?” Clarissa wiped her tears, obviously still in a daze.“You graduated from the University of Emmeria with a Ph.D. in the field of finance.”“I see you’ve attended the meeting held by the head of supervisors.” Clarissa tried her best to sound calm and collected.“So I’m right!” Caleb continued.“What do you mean by that?” Clarissa frowned. She didn’t know what Caleb was talking about.His gaze landed on Clarissa’s face, “Miss Johnson, do you have a boyfriend?”Taken aback by that

    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.
