Chapter 264 What Are You Crying About? Noticing that Clarissa wasn‘t responding to him, Damien walked into the room. “What do you want to eat for lunch?” he asked,
Clarissa was staring vacantly into space, her phone sliding to the floor.
Damien frowned and reached for Clarissa‘s phone.
He looked at the messages inside the group, and the ones from Joseph as well. “What are you crying about?” Then, Damien walked outside.
From the living room, she heard him mentioning her name while he was on a phone call. She also heard the names of the people and programs that she had partnered with before in New East Corporation. The only keywords she could hear were James Royle and The Green Project.
As for his entire conversation, she didn‘t catch on to anything.
When Damien entered her room once again, Clarissa wiped off her tears.
“Why are you helping me? Isn‘t this what you want? For me to be separated from Joseph?” Clarissa said while sobbing.
“Nobody can treat you with disrespect. Not on my watch!”
At this point, Clarissa wasn‘t registering what he was saying at all. Her mind was completely blank, and she didn‘t know how to feel.
“What do you want to eat for lunch?” he asked her.
“I just had breakfast. I don‘t feel like eating anymore,” Clarissa shook her head.
Last year was the worst year of her life. Not only did she lose her beloved mother, but she also lost Grandpa Lawrence. This year, she was off with a bad start. It was just the start of the year, and she had already lost her job.
“Why don‘t you eat out with me then?” he grabbed her hand,
“I don‘t feel like it. I‘m tired,” Clarissa lay down on the bed.
“Do you want to go out and have lunch with me?”
Clarissa wasn‘t in a good mood, and staying inside the room all day wouldn‘t be good for her mental health as well. Since Mrs. Faber wasn‘t here to cook for her, she decided to go out with Damien.
Sitting in the backseat of the car, Clarissa looked out of the window and noticed that there were fewer cars on the street.
“Why are there no cars on the road?” It was winter, and all the trees had lost their leaves. With almost nobody on the streets, it didn‘t look like a festive season at all. “They‘ve all gone back home to celebrate the new year. What should we eat?” Damien asked. Clarissa shook her head, “I don‘t feel like eating anything. I‘ll just watch you.” “Are you sure?” he asked jokingly. “I‘m not in the mood to eat. I‘m depressed,” Clarissa said.
Damien looked at her, and didn‘t say anything further.
Last year, they were still a family. This year, all that was left was the two of them.
Though they hated each other for the past few months for everything that had happened, they were slowly working on building their relationship from scratch again.
