SWNOVELS Chapter 22
Chapter 22 Ruining His Reputation Clarissa (cared that Luke would concoct more dirty Iricks. She said to Joseph, "Mr. Moore, let's Icave right away. I'm worried that my brother will come
back."
"Don't be scared. I'm here. You can rest Kirst."
"No. You don't know my brother. He'll entrap us both."
Clarissa had gotten up from the bed. She was wearing an innocent-looking white dress. Her clothes were utterly wet. It stuck to her body, revealing her curves. The situation was really awkward. Joseph only got a quick glance, but his ears reddened. He turned his head around, took off his jacket, and put it on Clarissa.
Shortly after, they were on the hotel's first floor. Joseph wanted to give Clarissa a ride back. However, she was afraid of being spotted by her colleagues. It would be difficult to explain if Damien found out. Therefore, she said, "There's no need. Thank you, Mr. Moore."
"Will you be fine by yourself?" Joseph was worried. "It's just a short distance away. I can get home just by walking." Clarissa forced a smile.
"Let me give you a ride." Joseph was worried that something would happen to her again. As the both of them were insisting, a car's honk could be heard twice coming from the roadside. Clarissa turned her head and her face immediately turned pale. It was Damien's car.
"President... President Lawrence, why are you here?" Clarissa suddenly felt guilty.
Damien's expression was dark. His intense gaze swept across the two of them.
His wife and another man were pulling and pushing each other at a hotel's entrance. She was even wearing his clothing! What a way of ruining his reputation. Damien's eyes were basically spitting fire. The anger was clear in his voice as he said, "Are you meeting your lover here?" Clearly, Damien had misunderstood. Clarissa was startled. She wanted to explain as quickly as possible. However, Joseph embraced her in a protective manner. At the same time, he looked at Damien aggressively. "Who are you? Why are you trying to control her? She already had a rough time earlier."
Damien's gaze was cold.
"She's none of your concern!"
After saying that, hic stared at Clarissa. "Aren't you going to come over?" Clarissa quickly broke free from Joseph. "I'm sorry, Mr. Moore. I'll explain to you later..."
She ran to the car hastily and sat in the backseat obediently.
Tlien, Damien instructed the driver to start driving. At the same time, the car's back window opened and a man's jacket was thrown out.
Joseph was speechless.
Clarissa knew Damien had misunderstood. She quickly said, "President Lawrence, listen to my explanation. It's not what it looks like My brother tricked me into going to that hotel. He also drugged me. Joseph was just trying to help..." As she spoke, she scrambled to take out her phone. She wanted to show Damien the message Luke liad sent her.
Unexpectedly, Joseph texted her at that moment.
(Was tliat Damien Lawrence? Clarissa, How did you get involved with him? You have to be careful. Damien isn't a good person. Don't fall for his tricks! I Obviously, Joseph had investigated Damien right after they left. Damien sneered, "I'm not a good person? What about him?" He eyed Clarissa and got even more irritated. "So, he's Joseph Moore? Your boyfriend?" "Er..."
Clarissa felt like she was about to go crazy. She had really shot herself in the foot! A lie had to be covered up with hundreds of more lies!
She deleted the message due to panic. Then, she showed Damien her brother's message.
Despite that, Damien refused to listen. He only asked, "Did the two of you have sex?" Clarissa selt suffocated. A wave of humiliation welled up her heart. In the end, Damien was only concerned about this matter. He disliked her being "dirty". Clarissa bit her lip and lowered her gaze. She said in a low voice, "No."
"You'd better not!"
After that, Damien did not say anything more
Although Clarissa gave a truthful answer, she felt that he did not believe her. Damien probably stopped arguing because his mind was occupied with other matters.
The journey was quiet. Soon, they arrived at the company. After Damien got down from the car, he said to the driver, "Send her back to the dorm."
Then, he left callously.
