CHAPTER 176
Chapter 176 You‘re Really Unreserved
“What‘s this?” Damien looked at the check
Lately, he seemed to have a lot of luck with money. People were giving him money left and right–
Clarissa had started it, and now, Joseph was doing the same.
How mocking!
Damien‘s gaze was cold, and his smile was icy.
“I heard Clarissa talking to her mother a few days ago. She still owes you 930 thousand dollars, doesn‘t
she? I‘ll pay it off for her,” Joseph said.
“You?” Damien looked at the check before tearing it to shreds. “Who do you think you are?!”
“Damien Lawrence!” Joseph shot to his feet angrily.
“There‘s no need for you to interfere in our personal matters,” Damien said. “I‘m busy, so get lost!”
Joseph stormed out, infuriated.
The moment he left, Emily came. This was her first time entering Damien‘s office,
“President Lawrence. You were the one who gave Luke that house, right? Now, Connie.” Emily crossed
her arms over her chest. She had yet to finish her sentence when Damien had already called the
marketing department.
“Fire Connie Hale,” he said to the sales manager.
After that, he lit a cigarette and asked Emily, “Satisfied with that?”
The angry look on Emily‘s face disappeared immediately. “You really know what a woman wants,
President Lawrence. I‘m very satisfied. It‘s best if you can let Luke know to kick Connie back to
Pentatone County.”
“I‘ll call him right now.”
Damien called Luke in front of Emily, and told him not to let Connie stay with them
anymore.
How could Luke possibly deny Damien? He immediately agreed to it.
Emily couldn‘t help thinking how considerate Damien was.
He was so accommodating toward her requests. This made Emily feel like she was rather important…
Emily specifically made a trip to the marketing department. As she watched Connie packing her things
with a pale face, Emily couldn‘t help laughing.
Damien intended to fire Connie in the first place. Emily had given him the perfect reason to
do so.
All of Connie‘s hatred and resentment were aimed at Emily.
Damien called Clarissa, and told her to come to his office.
Clarissa was confused. ‘I haven‘t done anything wrong lately. Why does he want to see me?
“Aren‘t you going to apologize to me?” This was the first thing Damien said when Clarissa stepped into Belonging to .
his office.
He sat there leisurely and gazed at Clarissa, who looked lost.
“Apologize? Why?” Clarissa blinked.
“Your grandmother was sick, wasn‘t she? Why was Joseph in Pentatone County? You didn‘t want me
to be there, but it‘s okay if it‘s him?”
‘How does he know about all this? I’m in a pickle.’
“I was afraid you‘d get mad.” Clarissa lowered her head. “He probably had some work in Pentatone
County, and we just happened to run into each other. We only exchanged a few words, and my mother
was there the whole time. What could we have done?”
“What did you want to do?”
“I don‘t want to do anything with him. I only want...” She wanted to coax Damien, so she said, “I only
want to do things with you.”
Damien fell silent for a while. Then, he said teasingly, “You‘re really unreserved.”
“You make it seem like you‘re so reserved,” she muttered back.
“In the future, you have to tell me everything that‘s related to him,” Damien ordered.
“Everything?” Clarissa‘s eyebrows shot up in surprise. “I‘m really busy in the audit department.”
“Maybe I should transfer you out, then,” he said calmly.
Someone knocked on the door.
Damien told the person to come in, and Clarissa felt a gust of wind come from behind her.
It was Ray.
“Maybe I should wait outside?” he asked tentatively.
“No, it‘s fine. You can sit there and wait.”
Ray sat down on the sofa, looking a little bothered.
Clarissa still had her head bowed sullenly. Now that there was someone else around, she couldn‘t bring
herself to voice out her actual thoughts and feelings.
She knew Damien could have her taken out of the audit department with a single command
Just like how easy it had been for him to get her in there.
“You don‘t want to be transferred out?” Damien asked her again.
“Yeah.” Clarissa nodded.
““Then do as I said and tell me everything.”
“But what if he contacts me while I‘m working? What happens if I forget to tell you about it because I
was busy?”
“Hmm…” Damien seemed to be thinking about what to do. He cocked his head and asked Ray, “What
should we do?”
“That‘s an easy one. Keep a journal,” Ray blurted out.
Clarissa rolled her eyes. Ray was aiding and abetting, alright!
