CHAPTER 344
Chapter 344 Do You Understand? Although no one from New East Corporation came, that did not
apply to Landon and Lily. They were Clarissa’s good friends, and were not subject to such restrictions.
Lily and Landon came to visit Clarissa at the hospital before her discharge
Landon noticed that Clarissa’s blanket wasn’t covered properly, so he carefully tucked her in.” You just
had a baby. Don’t catch a cold.”
Clarissa laughed. “Well, you seem pretty attentive. You’re so lucky, Lily!”
“Isn’t it?” Lily said with a stiff smile. The truth was that Landon was not attentive to her at all. He didn’t
even know her birthday. After Landon and Lily’s departure, an unexpected guest arrived. Clarissa took
a long time to recognize her. It was a former colleague who made her suffer a lot
– Penelope Henderson
Clarissa had only met Penelope once during the annual meeting at First She happened to overhear
Penelope badmouthing her, which annoyed her greatly. During the annual meeting, everyone wore
heavy make-up and dressed grandly, Penelope included. However, she looked very different from her
natural look today.
“Clarissa, do you remember me?” Penelope glanced at Clarissa as she spoke, as if the two were very
close friends.
“Penelope ?” Clarissa couldn’t believe that Penelope, of all people, had come to visit her. Penelope
glanced at Damien sitting on the couch next to them. Damien knew very well the reason behind
Penelope’s visit. “It’s been a long time, Clarissa. You’ve given birth. The baby’s so cute!” Penelope
didn’t sound as arrogant as the time she fought Clarissa in the past.
Clarissa only replied with a bitter smile “Here’s a baby gift bag. There are a lot of things inside and
clothes for a newborn. There are also mother’s skin cream, waist cream, and all kinds of things you
might need but never thought of,” Penelope went on
Clarissa looked at Penelope doubtfully. She felt like Penelope came with an ulterior motive. She had to Content provided by .
consider whether she should accept the gift Penelope noticed Clarissa’s meaningful expression and
said aggrievedly, “I’ll be frank. Didn’t my dad change the company to Henderson’s? Since then, not a
single order.”
Penelope stopped abruptly and glanced at Dainien on the sofa He looked as if nothing was wrong.
Clarissa glanced at him as well.
“So yeah. I’ve just graduated from graduate school and didn’t know any limits. When I was still young
and naive, I was willful and hurt you a lot, but that’s all in the past. Will you forgive me, Clarissa?”
Penelope took Clarissa’s hand, so Clarissa glanced at Damien again.
Damien was slipping through magazines leisurely. Clarissa figured out the reason behind Penelope’s
visit. It was for Damien Damien must’ve intercepted all of Penelope’s projects. She had been hit hard,
and finally knew that stronger people were out there and that arrogance would never work. She had
learnt her lessons, so she came to see Clarissa and pleaded with Damien.
“Okay,” Clarissa said. “How about high fives?” Penelope said childishly. “Also, I’m not like Connie. I
won’t harm you. Don’t worry about the baby gift set. I’ve taken this step and learnt my lesson. I’m going
to let go of the past, so neither of us should hold a grudge anymore. Okay?” Clarissa saw the sincerity
in Penelope’s face and agreed, “Sure. Come on. Let’s high five.”
After three high fives, Clarissa added, “But seeing me won’t help you much. Joseph’s one of the top
accountants in Genovia. You have to get in touch with him. It’ll be helpful for your career.”
“You make it sound so easy. I haven’t spoken to him for a long time because of you.” Penelope added,
“I was a fool back then, and I didn’t know my limits Can you help me and be a peacemaker?”
“My words don’t hold much weight. It might not work, but I’ll try,” Clarissa said to Penelope, but it was
meant for Dannien. She glanced at him.
She feared Damien would not let her contact Joseph.
“It’s a deal. You should rest well and recover soon. I’ll leave now.” With that, Penelope left.
Clarissa and Damien were left in the room. The baby was in the crib next to the bed
“Did you understand what I mean?” Clarissa asked Damien
After she asked that, Damien asked her in reply, “Huh? What do you mean?”
“You know, but you’re just pretending not to know, are you?” Clarissa asked anxiously
Damien lowered his head. “It’s God who sets people’s destiny, not you.” What he said left Clarissa
speechless
Earlier, Clarissa could tell that Penelope was quite good-looking Besides, she had a nice character.
Clarissa felt like matching her and Joseph.
She wanted Dainien to stop having misunderstandings about her and Joseph Besides, Joseph wouldn’t
miss Clarissa when he found his own sweetheart,
When Damien said that out loud, Clarissa suddenly felt like she was a lousy matchmaker with bad taste
Embarrassed, she pulled the covers over her head and stopped talking to him
