CHAPTER 124
Chapter 124 Make a fool of Oneself Clarissa considered it and finally decided to accept the box of
chocolates. “I’ve ordered some food. Is there anything else you want to add?” Clarissa checked off the
menu.
“No, just place your order.” Clarissa hesitated for a moment before telling Joseph the full story. She was
worried that Nicole would sue her, so she requested Joseph’s help to return the bag to Nicole. She
hoped Joseph could make up something and let it be done. She was afraid she would get into bigger
trouble if she directly gave it to Luke or Nicole. “That’s it? Luke told me about that today. He knew he
couldn’t get it back from you, so he asked for my help. Also, Nicole asked me if I knew any lawyer who
could help. She wanted to…”
Clarissa grew nervous. “She’s getting a lawyer to write a demand letter, right?”
Clarissa was right. Nicole was really desperate. Joseph laughed. “Yes, but I told her to calm down. It’s
not a big deal. Worst comes to worst, I’ll just get another bag for her.” Al that, Clarissa finally breathed a
long sigh or relief. “Thank you so much, Mr. Moore. When my brother gave me the bag, I wanted to
reject it. But when I thought he’d just continue to think of other ways to mess with me, I decided to take
it.” “Why does your brother always do this to you?” Joseph asked Clarissa. He still remembered the
time Luke framed Clarissa and gave her an aplirodisiac.
Clarissa’s eyes turned gloomy. “I don’t know, either. He hated me since I was a child. Maybe he hated
me because my parents pampered me more. I’m the youngest in the family My parents had me when
they were almost in their sorties. My brother grew up naughly and stubborn. He olten led a group of
children to bully me when I was a kid.”
Joseph frowned tightly. “Luke’s too much! I’ll talk to him later.”
“You can’t tell him! He’ll know that I spoke to you about him,” Clarissa said, annoyed. She pushed the
bag to Joseph. “This is Nicole’s bag. You can give it back to her.” “Sure. I’ll find a good excuse for you.”
Clarissa smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Moore.”
“You don’t have to call me Mr. Moore. I’m not even your teacher anymore.”
“President Moore?” Clarissa suggested.
Clarissa was very grateful for Joseph’s help. No one else but Joseph could solve this problem. Luke
and Nicole talked to Joseph, but in the end, Joseph decided to help Clarissa. Joseph took the bag and
left. Meanwhile, Clarissa took the box of chocolates that Joseph gave her and rode the bus back to Hill
Villa.
When she arrived home, Damien was sitting on the couch reading a book. “What’s that in your hand?”
Damien asked about the chocolates nonchalantly.
“Oh, they’re chocolates. Lily’s sister gave them to Lily. When I went back to the dormitory, Lily gave
them to me.” Clarissa avoided mentioning Joseph’s name because she was afraid that Damien would
indsunderstand again. If he got angry, he would send her back to the dormitory. Il was better to keep Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
quiet about it.
Clarissa put the chocolates in the fridge and went upstairs to change.
As she walked past the trash can in her bedroom, she saw that it was full of shredded paper. She didn’t
pay much attention at first, but she seemed to have seen her name on it.
Clarissa was not done changing her clothes. Slic squatted down to look at it while buttoning her shirt.
When slie saw it was hier book, she was shocked.
It was the An Accountant’s Journcy book given to her by Joseph. Damien must have torn it. Meanwhile,
Joseph had just done her a great favor today.
Clarissa opened hier suitcase. Just like she expected, her An Accountant’s Journcy book was gone.
She shouldn’t have told Damien that the book was liere!
While Clarissa was lost for words and heaving in anger, Damien arrived upstairs. “What? Are you
angry?” Damien looked at her. Clarissa’s shirt was still not fully buttoned. She was holding a scrap
paper in her hand, Damien hid the anger in his eyes, and only displayed his mockery for Clarissa.
“You… How can you tear my book?” Clarissa asked, “Do you have any respect for people?!” Clarissa
hadn’t been this angry since she moved into Hill Villa.
“So, Clarissa, who gave you that box of chocolates?” Damien remembered that he had also given
Clarissa a box of chocolates before, but slie did not smile as much.
Damien was furious today.
Clarissa was just as infuriated, so inuch that her breath hitched when she spoke. “I’m talling about the
book!”
“Isn’t it the same thing?” Damien raised his voice too.
Clarissa frowned and thought about it. Yes, it qa the same thing. Both the book and box of chocolates
were from Joseph, but how did Damien know? Did he stalk her?
“Why are you stalking me?!” Clarissa asked angrily. “Stalking you? You’re overthinking. Clarissa, I told
you not to make me angry.” “Damien, you b*ststard! You’re a stalker! You’re selfish, possessive…”
Clarissa felt like her privacy was invaded, She had always been a crybaby. At tuis point, she was
standing in the middle of the bedroom barefooted and crying like a child.
“Clarissa, you asked for it.” Damien unbuckled his belt and pushed Clarissa to the bed.
Clarissa was furious, but she had no way to vent her anger. The sury of rage in her blinded her
reasons. She raised her hand and slapped Damien’s face.
The slap was loud and clear. Then, a brief and terrifying silence loomed over the bedroom.
Damien was stunned by Clarissa’s slap at first. Then, he kissed her harder.
Chapter 124 Make a fool of oneself
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He had just transferred her from the finance
department to the audit department and gave her a pay raise. Meanwhile, she was dating Joseph-that
man he humiliated once. She seemed to sympathize with Joseph.
They were both accountants and shared a common language. Joseph had mentored her before, and
she wanted to go to his firm…
Damien kissed Clarissa madly. When it was over, Clarissa drifted off to sleep.
After that, Damien put on his clothes and went downstairs.
