CHAPTER 348
Chapter 348 Don’t Cut Off Other People’s Orders Again Clarissa and Rebecca went to New East Mall
to shop. “It feels like a century since my last shopping trip!” Clarissa told Rebecca. Rebecca held
Clarissa’s arm. “Don’t say that. Your husband owns this mall. You don’t shop because you don’t want
to, but if you do, who’s going to stop you?”
Clarissa narrowed her eyes. Too many things had happened around her lately. No one else could
easily understand her feelings Besides, Rebecca was single. She wouldn’t understand her conflicts.
Therefore, Clarissa didn’t say much about her issue with her mother-in-law. She only talked about the
pretty clothes.
“Hey, tell you something. Penelop’s very thick-skinned. After her firm Transcendence collapsed, she
came to us and wanted to partner with us. She just approached Joseph yesterday to talk about it.”
“Joseph was like a fool who said nothing. He didn’t openly refuse her. Penelope’s even more
shameless. She cheekily announced that she would come to work the next day. Since Joseph didn’t
decline her, she said it meant he agreed by default.”
“The heck. How can there be such a shameless person?!” Rebecca ranted to Clarissa as she checked
out a dress.
Clarissa wondered if Rebecca deliberately ranted to her to tell her these. She felt a little guilty After all,
she was the one who pointed out the path to Penelope.
“How about Joseph? He didn’t agree or disagree?” Clarissa asked seemingly nonchalantly.
“Joseph’s still the biggest partner upon his return to Great West. He didn’t say a word when Penelope
announced she’d come to work the next day, but he still told someone to get a new office ready for her.
Isn’t his agreement clear?”Belonging to .
“Penelope’s so annoying! She keeps clinging to Joseph, and she’s worse than Nicole Well, at least
she’s a rich kid and isn’t as nasty as Nicole,” Rebecca commented. “She’s also more career-driven
than Nicole”
“If Joseph agreed, you should just turn a blind eye to it. If she’s really career-driven, it should be
fine,”Clarissa advised. After all, she was the one who started this mess. She had to appease and calm
Rebecca
“So you’re saying there’s nothing I can do about it?!” Rebecca felt helpless. “I had a good time working
at Great West until Nicole came. Now, it’s Penelope! These two women always get on my nerves.”
Clarissa thought about it, and realized both Nicole and Penelope had crossed paths with Rebecca all
because of her. In other words, it was Clarissa who stirred up Rebecca’s life in a bad way.
“This is a beautiful dress. Will I look good in it?” Rebecca checked out a summer dress. “They say a
woman should spend money whenever they’re unhappy.”
“I’ll give you this dress,” Clarissa said. Before Rebecca could react, Clarissa swiped her card and paid
for the purchase.
“You’re making me feel awkward. It’s as if I purposely came today to take advantage of you,” Rebecca
said. Clarissa smiled. “Well, that’s because I have something for you to take advantage of.”
The truth was that Clarissa paid for it because she felt sorry for Rebecca,
When she got home, she told Damien about this. Damien didn’t say anything. He probably didn’t think
Joseph’s Great West had anything to do with him.
“Don’t cut off other people’s order again!” Clarissa pretended to be angry at him.
“Did you think I wanted to? I did it because of my wife, didn’t i? Who’s the one who keeps complaining
all day about the neverending work in the audit and finance department? Do you think I wanted to do
it?” Damien said as he took off his shirt
Despite the hiccup, Clarissa’s mood did improve after Rebecca’s visit. It seemned he should let
Clarissa go out more often.
Clarissa had been greatly upset since his parents’ arrival. He wanted to send them back to Amestris,
but he felt sorry looking at his mother’s attempts to make up with them. After all, they were his parents.
