Chapter 80 Why Are You Staring At Me Like That?

Damien went to the bed to read, whille Clarissa sat at her desk to continue where she was left ofl.

Clarissa found it amusing that both of them enjoyed reading.

“Why don’t you join me on the bed?” Damien asked.

“I’ll pass. I might get too comfortable and fall asleep. I still have to wash your shirt,” Clarissa said. Deep

down, she felt reluctant to do it for him.

“Alright. Stay there, then,” Damien said casually, and flipped one page of his book.

The layout of furniture in the room was pretty much similar to that of lier grandfatlier’s, witli her desk

situated in a way that her back was facing Damien

Sometimes, Clarissa could hear Damien slipping through the pages quickly. Sometimes, he would take

a long time to read through just one page. If he stayed on a page for a while, she would assume that he

had fallen asleep.

Sometimes, she would turn around just to check if she was right. This time, Damien caught hier staring

at him. He promptly asked, “Why do you keep staring at

me?”

She was caught red-handed. Speechless, she hurriedly changed the topic, “I’ll go and wash your shirt.”

With that, she fled to the washroom.

To Clarissa, hand-washing clothes wasn’t a difficult chore. She had been hand-washing her clothes

ever since she was young. She didn’t even use the washing machine in university, for she had a limited

budget. If it wasn’t a problem then, it wouldn’t be a problem now.

It only took her less than 10 minutes to go through the entire process. After rinsing it, she didn’t twist

the shirt for fear of damaging the delicate fabric. Instead, she lunc il directly on the balcony.

After all, Damien’s clothes were as expensive as the man himsell.

When Clarissa got back to bed, her hands were red and pully. “You look really good in that shirt just

now.”

“Really?” Damien asked,

“Yeah, you look good in navy blue, gray, and black.” Images of his usual outfits rose to mind.” That one

time you wore a shirt with a darker shade of gray, the women in the office literally exploded in love and

admiration for you.”

“Really?” Damien sounded calm and collected. “If that’s thic case, buy a few more of those colors for

mic.”

Clarissa was speechless. She was just trying to get on his good side. After all, who didn’t like praises?

Maybe she could even get something out of him tonight, for example, his sexy body. However, Clarissa

had

“You don’t want to?” Damien looked over at her.

Forcing a smile, she compromised, of course I’ll do it for you. Since I have to go shopping at New East

Mall tomorrow, I’ll ask Lily to tag along. But I’ll be back late at night. Is that alright with you? Or I could

just sleep over at my dorm tomorrow. What do you think?”

“Do as you see fit.”

Clarissa was elated. She didn’t expect Damian to agree that easily.

The next morning, she sent a message to Lily asking is the latter wanted to go shopping with lier, and

that she’d be spending the night at the dormitory tonight. Lily: (Is Mr. Lawrence okay with that?]

Clarissa: (Yes, he is!)

For some reason, that sounded fishy to Lily.

However, she couldn’t point out the exact reason.

After work, Clarissa and Lily went shopping at New East Mall. Like a bird out of its cage, Clarissa was

enjoying her freedom as she spread her wings and soared through the sky. New East Mall was the

most high-end inall in Genovia, and Clarissa felt deleated after visiting just a few shops. The clothes

here were so expensive that each of them was at least 1 to 2k She was reluctant to purchase even one

garment. More than that was totally out of the question. “Since he’s the one paying for those, just go all

out!” Lily said. “I know… It’s just that I can’t be going around splurging because the money isn’t mine in Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

the first place.” “You do have a valid point, but the money does belong to your family.” “Oh, come on,”

Clarissa said. Lily was still blind to the truth that Clarissa would never be able to inherit any of Damien’s

fortunes. After exploring some shops, both of them were spoilt for choice. In the end, they decided to

explore the lower floor to buy some cosmetics. Lily wanted to buy a toner, while Clarrisa desired a set

of facial masks. As they were looking at some makeup products, a large number of people suddenly

barraged through the hall and into the shop. Clarrisa and Lily looked over to the direction of the crowd,

and noticed a group of bodyguards surrounding Madelynn. Considering the high-class status New East

Mall had, Madelynn must be here to organize an event. Looking at Madelynn, Clarrisa barged out of

the shop angrily. “Let’s just get out of here and look for other clothes.”

Much to Clarrisa’s surprise, she received a message from Madelynn. Madelynn: (Is that you? I thought

I saw a familiar figure that resembles you.) Clarrisa gave Madelynn the cold shoulder and didn’t reply to

the latter’s message.

Although Clarrisa tried to look for a nice shirt, her heart couldn’t settle down. Knowing the fact that

Madelynn saw her, the rumbling in the heart started acting up again. As Clarrisa exited the shop,

Madelynn caught up and asked her, “Are you buying a shirt for Damien?”

“Miss York, is your event over?” Clarrisa replied back with another question. “Oh, yes! Come to think of

it, I’ve bought four or five shirts for Damien too. Since you’re looking for one for him, how about you

take what I have instead?” Madelynn offered. Clarrisa frowned. ‘Why is this woman so immature and

childish?” Clarrisa replied, “The clothes here are so expensive… I guess I’ll take up your kind offer and

accept these shirts.” With a grin on her face, Clarissa continued, “Damien insists on me buying some of

these expensive clothes, but they’re too extravagant for me. While you’re at it, do me a kind favor and

don’t tell my hubby about this. If not, he’ll definitely be angry at me.” “Of course not! It’s all yours for the

taking. Dont worry, I won’t commit such petty acts.” Inwardly, Madelynn thought, ‘What a stupid, naive

little girl! She fell into her own trap over a bit of money.’
