Love In Twilight By Tiny Mountains Chapter 76

Chapter 76 Damien’s Gesture Alter an hour, Clarissa retumed upstairs only to find Damien sitting on

the bed and reading a book

She sat in front of the laptop and looked through Damien’s translations. Though she didn’t understand

a word of il, it still seemed oddly detailed to her.

What surprised Clarissa even further was that there was another name underneath the German –

translated resume, ‘Donny’. Clarissa asked, “Who’s Donny?”

“Did I write that down?”

“Yeah, see? It’s right here.” She pointed at the name on the screen.

“You don’t have to care about that. Just submit your resume.”

She was confused, but she had a feeling that ‘Donny’ was a name Damien used to hint at HR to get

her through the first round of resume filtration. She supposed Lucas would be the only one to

understand the person behind that name. Although Damien made it a point that he wouldn’t help her

get the position, in the end, he still wrote his name down at the bottom of the resume.

With the recognition of the president of New East Corporation, nobody would dare to ignore Clarissa’s

application.

Feelings of gratitude blossomed in her. She realized that Damien had always been helping her all the

time, though he never made it too obvious. The fact got her thinking. Once the period of their contract

marriage was up, what land of life would she be leading? When Damien decided to marry Madelynn,

would Clarissa still have a place in his heart?

Clarissa scanned through both documents and submitted it to the HR department.

She also decided to inform Joseph about her reconsideration to apply as an assistant at his company.

Even if she couldn’t make it to the Audit Department, she felt she shouldn’t pursue another job behind

Damien’s back, especially after receiving his help

She got on the bed and snuggled in Damien’s arms. Still remaining silent, she could feel tears welling

up her eyes.

“Don’t think too highly of yourself. I have a habit of writing my signature under every document I looked

through to prevent forging,” Damien said casually.

Clarissa was speechless.

What was his problem? Why would he dampen her spirits like that? In a fit of rage, she reached for the

phone and changed the name of his contact to ‘Mr. Unpredictable’.

Damien glanced at her phone and saw what she was doing.

“So I’m not ‘Stranger’ anymore?” he asked with a casual tone.

“Yes, vou have a name now. What’s my name in your contact Ust?Clarissa alwd all of

ven after pending time together for so long, she had never pocked at Danton’s phone “Alise

Irresistable,” Dannten jepliext after a brief pause

Clarissa was irritated. Why did he have to lease hier every single ilme she got angry

She wrapped ierself in the duvet, tumed to the other side, and fell asleep.

The next day, Clarissa fall energized. After working diligently for the entire morning, sle receivel a

phone call from a stranger

“Is this Clarissa?” A woman’s mature voice sounded from the other end of the receiver.

“Yes, I am. May I know who this is?” from the sound of it, the caller didn’t seem to be cold calling for

advertisements.

“My name is Rebecca Steward. I’m one of the partners of Great West Accounting Firm. You’re the

applicant Josepli recommended to me, righ I’m driving outside now and will be passing by New Cast

Corporate in a few minutes. Would it be okay for us to meet for a while?” Rebecca sounded genuine

Clarissa thought, ‘ll’s a laboo to even receive a call from start from other companies! I shouldn’t discuss

anything with her.’s!ill on the line, Clarissa didu’t explain muchi. However, she still needed to inform her

about her sudden change or plans in person.

After thinking, she answered, “Yes, sure, Can we meet at a cafe called Stardust? It’s just opposite my

company.” “Alright. I’ll see you there in a bit.”

Alter working for ten more minutes, Clarissa went downstairs.

For someone in her forties, Rebecca didn’t look lier age at all. With smooth skin and a full-on business

attire, slie exuded a businesswoman’s confidence and charisma. Amongst the people in the case, she

attracted Clarissa’s attention immediately.

“Are you Miss Steward?” Clarissa sat just opposite of Rebecca.

“Clarissa? I’ve just ordered a steak and a salad for you. Is that enough?” Rebecca asked with a friendly

gaze.

“Yes, thank you so much.” Clarissa didn’t expect Rebecca to be that welcoming at their first meeting. To

that, she didn’t know how to word her rejection properly.

“Clarissa, I’ve already looked through your resume. You don’t have to worry about not having high

educational qualifications. Mr. Moore has already informed me o! your performance at work. I’m

impressed by the way you’ve curated your own career journey. When exactly do you think you can start

working at Great West Accounting Firm? I’m a busy woman and am currently in urgent need of an

assistant. In our firm, it’s up to the accountants as to how much they want to pay their assistants. I can

offer a monthly pay of two to three thousand a month. What do you say?”

Compared to Clarissa’s current salary, Rebecca’s proposal seemed more attractive. Stirring the

teaspoon in her cup, Clarissa decided to break the news to Rebecca. “Miss Steward,

I’m sorry to tell you that I’m no longer interested in opting for a position in Great West Accounting Firm

anymore.” “Is that so?” Rebecca was shocked. “I heard that New East Corporate is currently building

an audit department. Are you aiming for that?” Clarissa nodded and said apologetically, “Yes. I offer my Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

sincerest apologies to you.” “Oh, so that’s the case. I’ve actually skimmed through the application

requirements, and I have to say, it’s very strict. Let’s not talk about your educational background for

now. The examinations alone are hard to pass, and I’m sure there are a lot of talented candidates

competing for the job. With your limited experiences, are you sure you can get a position in the Audit

Department? If you come to me again after you got rejected, I’m sorry to say that I won’t consider your

application anymore.” Although Rebecca was smiling, Clarissa could sense that the former was hinting

at Clarissa to not miss this golden opportunity. “I understand the stakes on hand, but I still want to give

it a try. For now, I think it’s unethical to apply for both companies,” Clarissa explained. Although

Clarissa had rejected Rebecca’s offer, Rebecca was still moved by Clarissa’s honesty. Well, all Joseph

did was email Clarissa’s application to Rebecca. Rebecca was the one who . initiated a physical

meeting with Clarissa, so today’s result shouldn’t be on Clarissa. Not only did she not blame Clarissa

for anything, but she also respected Clarissa’s decision and ethics. “Too bad. We can’t be colleagues

for now,” Rebecca joked. “Yes. I’m so sorry for that.” Clarissa smiled. “No worries! Let’s just enjoy our

meal.”

Clarissa was grateful Rebecca didn’t make a fuss out of the situation. While enjoying their meal, they

talked about a lot of work-related matters.
