Love In Twilight By Tiny Mountains Chapter 121

Chapter 121 She Lost Again Everyone in the finance department were all pretending to be busy at

work, but in truth, they we’re paying full altention to the commotion in the office. They laughed harder

when they heard that Clarissa was actually using a lake luxury bag.

President Lawrence was standing right here, silent. As everyone wondered how he would punish

Clarissa for embarrassing him, shic peered at him and muttered something to him. She used a tone

completely different from the way one she used with Nicolc. “Hey, don’t be angry,” Clarissa said to

Damien, her coy voice resembling a kitten’s soft mewl.

“Why would i be angry?” Damien retorted. Despite that, he was actually furious. The target of his wrath,

however, wasn’t Clarissa. Damien was enraged that the finance department had the audacity to hurt

his wise and embarrass him in his face. “I didn’t buy a genuine bag with the money you gave me. I

bought a fake instead. I saved up the rest… I just thought I shouldn’t carry such an expensive bag. It’s

just a bag, anyway. We’re not using the bag to show off our wealth. Why do we need such an

expensive bag?” Clarissa explained.

She said that not only to save Damien’s face and take the blame herself, but also to mock Nicole for Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

showing off her wealth with the bag.

Damien initially assumed he was here to be the judge. Instead, he ended up as part of her plan.

Although her explanation had saved him from humiliation, he still found it quite upsetting. “Go home

earlier after work today!” Damien said before leaving

The news about the day’s incident spread like wildfire. As the employees passed the message to one

another, the whole company knew about it within 15 minutes.

Those who badmouthed Clarissa eagerly before had all shut up. However, they all agreed on one thing:

Nicole wouldn’t last in New East Corporation. Clarissa, however, was thinking about a completely

different thing. ‘He told me to go home? Should I do that?”

Lily also texted her on WhatsApp some time later. Lily: (Clarissa, this genuine Chanel bag is so cool.

Why don’t you give it to me?] Clarissa: (Don’t even think about it! That bag’s worth around thirty to forty

thousand dollars. It’s a fraud. You might get caught and sentenced to prison!) Lily: (oh, okay.) Lily

panicked. Clarissa now had a new problem. She knew she couldn’t return the bag to Nicole or Lucas.

Giving it to them would be telling them that she had tricked them. She probably needed someone’s

help, and Joseph was the most suitable person to do it. However, the thought of dealing with Joseph

gave her a massive headache.

In the afternoon, Clarissa waited for Damien by his car. She bowed her head, looking dispirited,

She had gone to live in the dorm because of their conversation about her as a replacement for another

woman. In the end, she came back waiting for him by his car like a complete loser.

Damien panced at hver before going into the car “How many days laas it bren” umien asked

When he wait to the finance department in the alternoon, he thought she looked pale

“What?” Clarissa was looking out the window, and did not understand Damien’s question.

“What?” Clarissa was still puzzled Then, she came to a sudden realization. “Oh. I’m on my third chay

“Explain,” he continued.

“Explain what?” Clarissa became confused again. They were only separated for almost three days, but

so many things had happened during that time. Rather than three days, it felt like a century had passed

“The tie”

“I went to return the clothes that day and bought a tieafter that. Then, I happened to see him shopping

for a tie too…” Clarissa explained everything like she was reciting a textbook. “Hin?” Damien frowned

slightly. “Who?” However, he knew who Clarissa mcant. He simply felt that the way she called Joseph

sounded subtle, as if she always had him in her licart, She knew him well, which is why she called him

in such an intimate way.

“It’s… It’s Joseph.” Clarissa sushed, reluctant to mention the other man’s name.

After all, she was just thinking of asking Joseph to return the bag to Nicole carlier in the afternoon.

“And then?” Damien continued asking

“We exchanged a lew words belore Luke came to call him away. I thought about it and was afraid that

you’d misunderstand again, so I went to another store to buy the tie. I didn’t expect …” Clarissa’s voice

dropped. “I didn’t think you’d misunderstand. You even throw the tie away.”

“So it was a waste of your time, right?” Damien asked.

“Yeah, it was.” Clarissa looked out the window.

“In that case, you should buy me another one. Maybe more,” Damien said.

Clarissa looked at him with some protest. She hurriedly amended his words, “I was joking when I said it

was a waste of my time.”

“But I took it seriously,” Damien said.

Clarissa could only swallow the bitterness and stop complaining. Since she had decided to make up

with him, maybe she should show him some sincerity.

The tie represented her loyalty.

“Let’s not waste more time. We should go today.” Damien gave Clarissa a sideways glance and added,

“Also, it’s time to change your clothes.”

“I’ve bought new ones before, but I can’t wear them,” Clarissa muttered.

Damien shook his head. “Your taste in clothes is terrible. It can’t be helped.”

“…” Clarissa wanted to refute, but she was lost for words.

“Also, explain today’s incident,” Damien commanded. With that push, Clarissa told Damien everything

from the beginning. After Luke gave her the bag, Clarissa had Lily change it to a fake. “So, what were

you doing at work? Buying a bag? Are you overpaid?” Damien said.

“1…” Clarissa felt aggrieved. She thought, ‘Didn’t you ask me to explain? Now that I’ve explained, you

think I’m not paying attention at work.”

Clarissa wanted to reason with him, but just talking with him gave her a sense of defeat. She faltered,

“I-…” In the end, she stopped saying anything. Damien’s car was already heading towards New East

Mall. It was his first time accompanying Clarissa to the mall. Shopping in New East Mall would cost

more than shopping in New Edge Mall.
