บททั้งหมดของ Love in Twilight: บทที่ 71 - บทที่ 80

Damien talked to Grandpa Lawrence for a while before heading upstairs.Before he left, he walked past the table and accidentally knocked over Clarissa’s bag.Her bag was already situated at the edge of the table. With one simple nudge, it fell to the ground and the insides spilled out. He lowered his body to pick up the books on the ground. Out of curiosity, he flipped to the last page and saw a memo. ‘May your hopes and dreams come true in life - Joseph Moore.’Damien’s face turned sour in a split second. On top of his words were the date and address of which the book was signed. It was Saturday at The Owlery.He realized that one of the pages was bookmarked, indicating that she had finished reading a hundred or so pages.It only took two days for her to finish half of the book!The second one was a notebook about financial and cost management, which was also given by Joseph. He flipped through the pages, noticing that the notes were neatly written with a lot of explanations in

The next day when Clarissa went to the office, she received an email from the human resource department titled ‘New Hires’.Looking at the title, she found it odd. Since she was already an employee working in New East Corporate, why would HR send this email to her? Wasn’t it more logical to post it on job-hiring websites or the company’s official website?She skimmed through the document. It wrote, ‘New East Corporate is building a new subsidiary called The Audit Department, which will be led by Germany’s famous auditor Lucas Smith. We are currently looking for potential hires from talents inside and outside the company. Applicants should have at least a postgraduate certification. Certified accountants will be given priority to this post.Aside from the educational requirements, applicants should also go through three rounds of examinations, the first two being written exams and the final one being an interview.’The sophisticated requirements had successfully drawn Clarissa’s att

After an hour, Clarissa returned upstairs only to find Damien sitting on the bed and reading a book.She sat in front of the laptop and looked through Damien’s translations. Though she didn’t understand a word of it, it still seemed oddly detailed to her.What surprised Clarissa even further was that there was another name underneath the German-translated resume, ‘Donny’.Clarissa asked, “Who’s Donny?”“Did I write that down?”“Yeah, see? It’s right here.” She pointed at the name on the screen.“You don’t have to care about that. Just submit your resume.”She was confused, but she had a feeling that ‘Donny’ was a name Damien used to hint at HR to get her through the first round of resume filtration. She supposed Lucas would be the only one to understand the person behind that name. Although Damien made it a point that he wouldn’t help her get the position, in the end, he still wrote his name down at the bottom of the resume.With the recognition of the president of New East Cor

Damien stormed into Joseph’s office and slammed several documents on the latter’s table without saying a word.Shocked, Joseph reached for the documents. They were evidence of how Frank colluded with several other companies in an attempt to topple Damien’s father in the business world.Fear rose in Joseph the more he flipped through the pages.“Don’t force me to submit these to the court,” Damien said calmly as he sat opposite Joseph.Joseph’s face was chalk white. He knew this evidence was enough to send his father to jail for at least twenty years.“Is this about Clarissa’s decision to work in my company?” Joseph asked.Everyone in Genovia was already aware of Damien’s initiative to build a new audit department at his company. Joseph, on the other hand, suspected that Damien was building it for Clarissa. Now that Damien was here threatening to destroy his family, Joseph’s suspicions turned out to be true after all.“I don’t think I need to tell you what to do from now on, righ

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?”She
