Chapter 70

Chapter 70 Clarissa Blocked His Number After they returned to the dormitory, Clarissa went to her

room to tidy up. Since she had decided to quit her job, she proceeded to write a resignation letter. Lily,

on the other hand, was mustering the courage to send Damien a message. However, she didn’t have

his personal number.

Being an ordinary employee, Lily wouldn’t have known Damien on a personal level if it wasn’t for

Clarissa.

Feeling anxious, she managed to find Damien’s number through the group chat they were both in from

their training workshop. The message she sent was this. Lily: (I’m reaching out to talk to you about

Clarissa.]

It only took a few seconds for Damien to reply.

That prompted Lily to type out an essay Fearing that her superior would judge her writing ability, she

made sure that there were no typos belore sending it out.

The blue tick indicated that Damien had read hier message.

Only then did lie find out that Madelynn liad tricked him into believing that Clarissa was pregnant. If she

was never pregnant, low could she have aborted the baby?

The revelation did make him less angry. Although he was greatly disappointed, he understood that

everything was just a huge misunderstanding In the end, Lily told Clarissa wliat she did. Although

Clarissa was quite annoyed by it, she didn’t hold a grudge. After all, Clarissa was perfectly aware that

Lily was simply looking out for her.

However, Clarissa was still annoyed by Madelynn’s power over Damien and the fact that he always

trusted whatever Madelynn said, no matter how ridiculous her words were.

Soon, Damien sent a message to Clarissa.

Damien: (Come home now.) However, the message didn’t go through at all since Clarissa had already

blocked his number on Whatsapp All his life, Damien had never been blocked by someone before. This NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

was a first.

He was so furious that he laughed out loud.

“This is just ridiculous!” he muttered under his breath. He called her numerous times, only to receive an

automated response. “The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.”

It seemed she had blocked his mobile number as well.

He didn’t know how long Clarissa would keep this up.

As a compromise, he was willing to give her another week to calm her nerves.

Come Monday morning, however, he didn’t expect Howard to present a letter of resignation from

Clarissa.

She sounded oddly polite in the letter, saying that although she loved her colleagues and that the

company did support her career journey, she still decided to leave New East Corporation. In the letter,

she stated she would give Damien two to four weeks to find a replacement. “Mr. Lawrence, I don’t

understand why Clarissa would resign. She’s always been a diligent employee in the finance

department.” Howard sounded confused. As the director of finance, Howard had always been the

peacemaker between Damien and Clarissa.

Though Howard wasn’t sure of the exact reason behind Clarissa’s resignation, he knew she wasn’t the

type to throw in her resignation because of something as stupid as an argument.

“I will not allow this!” With a livid expression, Damien wrote a big ‘disapproved’ on the resignation letter.

Clarissa frowned with displeasure the moment she received Howard’s message. Even though she had

promised to resign right after she got certified, it still got disapproved. She soon thought of a plan, and

that was to send in a resignation letter once a week. Damien would surely find it to be an immense

annoyance, finally coming to a point where he had no choice but to approve her resignation.

Later Uiat evening, Clarissa received a parcel. It was Joseph’s notes regarding financial and cost

management. One look at the contents and you would know he used to be a bright student who

excelled in his studies. As Clarissa caressed the notebook, feelings of gratitude blossomed in hier.

Right at this moment, Clarissa received a Whatsapp message.

Joseph: (Have you received my notes? The parcel company just notified me that you’ve received it.)

Clarissa: (I did. Thank you very much.) Then, Joseph forwarded a file titled ‘Job Application as well.

Joseph: (You said you were interested in applying as an assistant, right? Fill this up for me, please.)

Looking through the document, Clarissa realized she had to fulfill a lot of requirements just to apply as

an assistant at Great West Accounting Firm. Clarissa: (Mr. Moore, my resignation letter was

disapproved. I don’t think I’ll be able to work at your company just yet. ]

Joseph: (No worries. I’ll still send your resume to HR, just in case.)

Clarissa: (Alright.]

Since it was inappropriate to fill in another company’s job application during work, Clarissa decided to

find another time to do it.

Now, there were two books inside Clarissa’s bag; the first being Joseph’s book, ‘An Accountant’s

Journey’, and the other being the workbook she had bought from the bookstore. She added Joseph’s

notebook into her bag so she could read through it during her lunch break.

Just when she was about to resume her work, her landline rang again.

Come back home to visit Grandpa today.” It was an order from Damien.

Clarissa agreed. No matter how bad her relationship with Damien was, she still wouldn’t leave Grandpa

hanging

“But I don’t think I can make it in the evening.” What Clarissa meant was she didn’t want to leave with

Damien.

Damien understood what she meant. He hesitated for a while before saying, “Go back by yourself,

then.”

In the evening, Howard wanted Clarissa to send some documents to the State Taxation Administration.

Since she got the green light from Howard to get off work early after the assigned task, she left as soon

as she was done with work and waited for the bus. It was only four when she took the bus. Since there

was no trattic congestion, she managed to reach home early.

When Grandpa Lawrence saw Clarissa, he was thrilled. However, he didn’t mention a word about her

miscarriage.

The old man said he wanted spaghetti for dinner, so Clarissa went into the kitchen and prepared it

instantly

While they were chatting merrily on the sofa, Damien returned home
