Love in Twilight

Chapter 88

When Do You Plan On Having kids? The renovations for the audit department were done, and Lucas

had officially assumed his position. Every day, there would be people having interviews there. Some of

them had compdelat their masters, and some had even completed their doctorates.

Clarissa went to Lucas’s office with her resume.

Lucas looked to be around forty, and he was an easygoing and humble man. He was quite fluent in

English, so the two spoke to each other without difficulty.

“Miss Johnson, you can pass your resume directly to the human resource department. I just started Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

here, so I’m not too sure about the situation with the employees,” Lucas said.

“To tell you the truth, Mr. Smith, 1 submitted my resume to them earlier, but they rejected me. I really

want to work in auditing, though. I graduated at the top of my class, and I was a scholarship holder.

Furthermore, I’m working on becoming a certified public accountant, and l’m currently working in the

finance department. Perhaps you could just take a look at my resume,” Clarissa said calmly.

Lucas hummed in acknowledgment and started going through Clarissa’s resume. She was one of the

few people who had brought a German resume, which left him with a great impression. “Do you speak

German, Miss Johnson?” he asked. “No, I don’t.” “Then, your resume…” Clarissa had no choice but to

say, “My husband translated it for me.” She didn’t mention Damien’s name for fear that it would surprise

Lucas. “You’re married?” “Yes, I got married not too long ago.” “When do you plan on having kids?

Sorry to ask such a personal question, but that’s just the way things are.” Lucas spread his hands.

Clarissa knew that most women would get asked this question when they were looking for work. Just

as Lucas had said, that was the way things were. Thus, she wasn’t taken aback by this. She said, “I

don’t plan on having kids within the next five years.” Grandpa looked pretty healthy, so there probably

wouldn’t be any issue with him making it past the next five years. If she wanted to have kids, it would

have to wait till after she and Damien got divorced. After that, she would have to find another boyfriend,

which was a long way off. She probably wouldn’t be having kids within the next ten years.

Lucas gave it some thought. “Well then, Miss Johnson. Please come for the written test next Friday.

You can leave your resume here with me.”

Clarissa was overjoyed. “As I expected, it’s easier to deal with the boss than with his lackeys

She had submitted her resume to Lucas behind Damien’s back. Firstly, she didn’t want to use Damien.

Secondly, she didn’t want him to throw a wrench in her plans.

While Clarissa went to submit her resume to Lucas, Howard prepared a transfer request form

for Damien’s approval. He requested to mobilize Clarissa to New East Mall to become a team leader

for the field accounting team.

Damien frowned at this request. “You want her to work in the field?”

“Yes, but I’m just afraid it’ll stop you two from seeing each other. I didn’t dare to make the decision on

my own,” Howard said in a sycophantic manner. “It’s not like we get to see each other often when we’re

at work, anyway,” Damien said, leaning back in his seat. “What?” Howard didn’t catch him. “Go and tell

her yourself. I don’t have any objection to it.” Damien passed the form back to Howard.

Back in the office, Howard informed Clarissa of her new assignment-to perform field accounting at New

East Mall for a month.

“I just requested to transfer to the audit department, though,” Clarissa said. “There’s no conflict there.

It’s best if you can go to the audit department, but if you can’t, this assignment will also be beneficial for

you. When you get back, you’ll be promoted. If you transfer to the audit department now, you’ll only be

an assistant.” Howard sounded as if he really wanted Clarissa to stay. In truth, he just didn’t want her to

go to the audit department.
