Love in Twilight

Chapter 40

Chapter 40 President Lawrence Will Fall For It Clarissa was very happy and excited after finalizing this

matter.

It was the first time that Clarissa did this kind of business that was more than 100,000 dollars, so she

was a little nervous.

Clarissa was afraid that she would encounter scammers or gangsters, so she asked Lily to go with her.

Lily did not need to lay low anymore, so she was quite losty.

She agreed to Clarissa’s request without hesitation.

“Actually, it’s better to get another man to accompany us for this kind of thing. It’s best if you get

President Lawrence to go with you. Who would dare to lie to him? No one would have the balls to do

so!” Lily ate some snacks while she talked to Clarissa.

“It’s not tliat simple. We’re not on good terms now. Besides, this has to do with my ex boyfriend. I’ll be

out of my mind to ask him to come with me,” Clarissa said.

“Why did you argue with him? You saw how his random act of liking your post changed our situation so

drastically. Everyone just wants to suck up to this man, but you do the exact opposite!” Lily said

disapprovingly

“Don’t mention it. I’ve been buttering up to him…” Until now, Clarissa did not know why Damien

suddenly asked her to move out.

How would she know how to please Damien if she did not know what angered him?

“Just beg him and act coquettish, President Lawrence will definitely fall for it!” Lily said again.

“How do you know? Have you acted coquettishly in front of him before?” Clarissa said with a sour tone.

“I wouldn’t dare! I didn’t even get a chance to meet him.” Lily began to be coquettish in front of Clarissa.

“But on a serious note, my sister is coming to bring me food this afternoon.”

“Your sister? Isn’t your sister about to go into labor? Don’t you feel embarrassed asking a pregnant

woman to deliver you food?”

“She’s not coming in person. She asked her brother-in-law to come. I heard that he’s also very

handsome,” Lily said with a look of fascination.

“Haven’t you met him before?”

Lily rolled her eyes at Clarissa. “No. He didn’t attend my sister’s wedding back then because he was

out of town.”

“I’ll check him out for you in the afternoon!”

At six o’clock in the evening, the doorbell rang, and Clarissa went to open the door.

As soon as she opened the door, she opened her eyes wide and said in surprise, “Landon?”

“Clarissa?”

“Who are you looking for? Me?”

Landon raised the lunch box in his hand. “I’m helping my sister-in-law to deliver food to her sister I

didn’t expect you to be her roommate! What a coincidence!”

When Lily came out and saw Landon’s handsome face, her eyes lit up.

“Why don’t I treat you two beautiful ladies to dinner tonight?” Landon said.

“What about the meal that Lily’s sister gave us?” Clarissa said with a slight frown.

Lily was moved by that suggestion. After all, who wouldn’t want to eat with a handsome guy?

“You can put the food in the refrigerator and eat it slowly. It won’t go bad. Let’s go. I’ll treat you to a

barbecue!” Landon was very enthusiastic about dinner.

Clarissa and Lily were bullied at the office during this period and needed this opportunity to de -stress.

Thus, they hit it off.

Moreover, Clarissa liked to eat spicy food, the spicier the better.

During the meal, Landon asked Clarissa, “We haven’t chatted even after adding each other on

WhatsApp. I just found out that you’re working for New East Corporation. You have a really bright

future!”

“What bright future? I’m just a junior employee. Lily has a brighter future as the Star of New East! She’s

bound to be a leader in the future,” Clarissa said, not forgetting to praise Lily.

Clarissa could see that Lily liked Landon.

Lily and Landon also added each other on WhatsApp

“Oh, right. Clarissa is going to the suburbs to inspect a computer factory on Sunday. We’ve never been

there, and we’re afraid that we’ll meet a scammer, so we’re looking for a man to accompany us. Come

with us if you’re free.” Lily invited Landon. “My elder sister told me that her brother-in-law runs a gaming

company, so it’s more suitable for you to identify computer specs.”

“Visit a computer factory? No problem. I’ll drive you two there when the time comes. If you want to buy

a computer, it’s good enough to go to a computer store. Why go directly to the

supplier?”

“I’m looking to buy 200 units to donate to the children in the mountains. It’s the school that we went to

that day.” Clarissa explained with ease because she and Landon went to Sunshine Elementary School

together that day. “200 units? Alright, you’re quite rich, huh?”

“Nah, I sold my father’s house back in my hometown.” Clarissa brushed it off with an excuse for fear

that Landon would ask about the origin of her money. That would just put her in an awloward situation.

Clarissa never mentioned her marriage agreement with Damien to Lily, so Lily also did not know where

she got the money. Clarissa’s father’s old house was in the countryside, and Clarissa had never been

there before. Besides, the homestead could not be sold.

Fortunately, Landon did not probe further.

What else could Clarissa say? She could not possibly tell them that she got the money by
