Damien went to the bed to read, while Clarissa sat at her desk to continue where she was left off.

Clarissa found it amusing that both of them enjoyed reading.

“Why don’t you join me on the bed?” Damien asked.

“I’ll pass. I might get too comfortable and fall asleep. I still have to wash your shirt,” Clarissa said. Deep down, she felt reluctant to do it for him.

“Alright. Stay there, then,” Damien said casually, and flipped one page of his book.

The layout of furniture in the room was pretty much similar to that of her grandfather’s, with her desk situated in a way that her back was facing Damien.

Sometimes, Clarissa could hear Damien flipping through the pages quickly. Sometimes, he would take a long time to read through just one page. If he stayed on a page for a while, she would assume that he had fallen asleep.

Sometimes, she would turn around just to check if she was right.

This time, Damien caught her staring at him. He promptly asked, “Why do you keep staring at me?”

    Lily tugged on Clarissa’s hand to calm the latter down.Madelynn noticed this. She quickly said to Clarissa, “That’s decided, then. Where should I have the shirts delivered to?”“Hmm… if you have them delivered to the office, it’ll be too easy to bump into him. He’s going to get mad again if he finds out that I didn’t get him any shirts. Would it be okay for you to send them to my dorm tonight after work?” Clarissa said.“Alright, then.” Madelynn left after that.“How stupid do you have to be to fall for her tricks every time?” Lily demanded, exasperated. “You completely ignored me when I pinched your hand. I won’t take you in if President Lawrence kicks you out again!”“I’m not that dumb. Do you really think I can’t see through her tricks? Come on, let’s go. At least I won’t have to spend money on any shirts tonight.” Clarissa was happy, and it showed.Lily was confused. She didn’t know what Clarissa was thinking.That night, Clarissa had a good night’s rest. Nobody was there t

    Haye’s Suits had the three shirts ready on a Friday. Clarissa reluctantly bid Lily farewell before returning to the Lawrence manor with the shirts.It had been several days since she had last seen Damien.After all, it was difficult for a normal employee to see the president of a company.Damien sat on the sofa while appraising her with a mixture of interest and anger.“Oh, back already?” he asked. “Where are the shirts you bought?”Clarissa pulled the shirts out of her canvas bag.It only took Damien one look to tell that the shirts had been tailor-made abroad. She hadn’t even bothered to change the packaging. This showed how little she cared about him.“You’ve gained weight.” He glanced at her chubby face.She had regained the weight that she’d lost when she was sick.“What?” Clarissa frantically touched her face and asked, “I’ve gained weight? How’s that possible?”Damien sneered. “Why not? You’ve been eating junk food every day.”Clarissa was saddened. ‘If I’d known I’d

    When Clarissa woke up the next day, she found that she was still in Damien’s arms. He had yet to get out of bed.Her sore body, coupled with Damien’s rejection from the night before, infuriated her deeply.So, she turned her back to him.Damien’s phone rang.“Am I free today? Yes, she’s free as well. Alright, we’ll be there at noon.” He hung up.“Madelynn’s going to be done with filming today, and she’ll be going outstation to retake some shots. She wants to buy me a meal before leaving, and she invited you as well,” Damien said to Clarissa.‘Wow, she moves fast.’“Well then, hubby, I want you to wear one of the shirts I bought for you,” Clarissa said gently, turning to look at him.Damien frowned at her. She knew very well that those shirts were from Madelynn, and that Madelynn was probably trying to embarrass her. Was she a fool?“No, I won’t,” he said firmly. He grabbed his shirt from beside the bed.Clarissa knew that once Damien had made up his mind, nothing would be abl

    Damien didn’t show any sign of leaving once Madelynn was gone. He ordered a steak, looking as if he wanted to have a good chat with Clarissa.Clarissa had been like a cock geared up for a fight, but the moment Madelynn left, she lost her spirit and stirred her coffee abashedly.She was afraid Damien would get mad at her. After all, Madelynn was his first love, and she used to have so many shirts tailor-made for him. Now that she had pulled such a prank on Madelynn, Damien was definitely going to get revenge on Madelynn’s behalf.As long as he didn’t do it in front of Madelynn, however, Clarissa didn’t mind.“How much do the shirts really cost?” Damien asked softly.He now knew what had happened. Clarissa had switched out the shirts that Madelynn got for him, and he himself hadn’t realized because he hadn’t bothered to look closely.“I’ve already mentioned several times that they’re 2,000 dollars apiece.” Clarissa’s tone sounded rather uneasy.“Where’d you get them from?” He look

    The next day at work, Lily sent Clarissa a WhatsApp message saying that she had something to tell Clarissa.“What’s up?” They were having fish and chips for lunch.This restaurant specialized in fish and chips, and though it was small, it was always filled with customers. Clarissa and Lily had managed to squeeze themselves into a tiny corner, and Clarissa had ordered one of their in-house specials. The gravy was so spicy that it made her lips bright red.“I went to pass some documents to our director today, and she happened to be on the phone. I heard her say that Lucas Smith will be coming to take over the audit department tomorrow. You want to go there, don’t you? I think you can take this opportunity,” Lily said.Clarissa frowned. “No, I can’t. The human resource department rejected my application, which means that I obviously didn’t meet the criteria. Nothing would change if I were to try again. Also, I asked Damien for help, but he turned me down.”“Keep your voice down and s

    The renovations for the audit department were done, and Lucas had officially assumed his position. Every day, there would be people having interviews there. Some of them had completed their masters, and some had even completed their doctorates.Clarissa went to Lucas’s office with her resume.Lucas looked to be around forty, and he was an easygoing and humble man. He was quite fluent in English, so the two spoke to each other without difficulty.“Miss Johnson, you can pass your resume directly to the human resource department. I just started here, so I’m not too sure about the situation with the employees,” Lucas said.“To tell you the truth, Mr. Smith, I submitted my resume to them earlier, but they rejected me. I really want to work in auditing, though. I graduated at the top of my class, and I was a scholarship holder. Furthermore, I’m working on becoming a certified public accountant, and I’m currently working in the finance department. Perhaps you could just take a look at my

    After work, in Damien’s car.Clarissa told Damien about her current predicament.“I went to the audit department to drop my resume, and Lucas accepted it. I’m going to sit for the written test on Friday.” She was pleased with herself. Though she had to go about it in a roundabout manner, at least she had achieved her goal.“Oh? You?” Damien was a little surprised.“Yes, me. Howard’s offer is really tempting, though.”“You told Lucas I was the one who translated your resume?” Damien asked indifferently.“No. I didn’t want people gossiping about me using my connections.”“It’s good to know you haven’t been throwing my name around.”Clarissa had a feeling that Damien was insinuating something. Yes, his name had been written on her resume, but what did that have to do with throwing his name around? Or had he found out about her calling him by name during lunch?How had he found out, though? Why did he seem to know everything?“Looks like getting rejected by the human resource dep

    Clarissa accepted Howard’s suggestion and started going to New East Mall for work. She was extremely busy with the project there, so she and Damien didn’t see each other during working hours at all. She would go to work and head home on her own, falling asleep almost the moment her head touched the pillow.On Friday, she went back to the company to sit for the audit department’s written test. There were two sessions, one in the morning and one in the afternoon. There was also one more face-to-face interview the following week.During the test, Clarissa bumped into someone—Nicole.The audit department had opened up its recruitment to the public, and Nicole had applied for a job. After all, the starting pay was 20,000 dollars, and there was no upper limit, which was extremely attractive. Nicole had made it past the preliminary exam and was here for the written test.Anthony was here with her again, because he heard from Nicole that Clarissa was working at New East Corporation. She ha

    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
