Love in Twilight

Chapter 1

Chapter 1 Craving the Warmth of His Embrace

Clarissa Johnson woke up in the middle of the night.

No one would believe her, but she had sex with Damien Lawrence last night.

It was her first time. Despite that, she did not feel much.

The only thing that left a deep impression on her was Damien’s stubble intimately caressing her face.

She could feel his breath on her neck and he kissed her ear. Damien’s husky, low voice made

Clarissa’s face heat up. He also kept murmuring a name by her ear. However, she could not hear it

clearly from the beginning until the end. Nonetheless, Clarissa was unaffected and still thrilled.

At midnight, Clarissa woke up. Damien was still asleep beside her. She glanced at the man’s grim face.

For some reason, she felt they had gotten much closer. Clarissa craved the warmth of his embrace.

She even had a wild thought of hugging him until she fell asleep. However, Clarissa knew that she

would be bringing trouble upon herself if she did not leave at that moment.

Damien Lawrence was New East Corporation’s president and he had sex with an intern, which was

Clarissa Johnson. The consequences were obvious. If it was a light punishment, Clarissa would lose

her job. Worst-case scenario, she would be accused of seducing the president and her reputation

would be tarnished. Basically, she would not be able to continue working in this industry.

Yesterday, the first team-building activity was held. At night, Damien got drunk at night and clung to

Clarissa. She helped him get back to his room. Suddenly, Damien kissed her without any warning. Her

mind went blank. She wanted to deny him but was dazed and captivated upon seeing his face.

Before this, Clarissa never even had a formal interaction with Damien. After all, she was just an intern.

Clarissa staggered back to her room. She acted as if nothing had happened. It was six o’clock in the

evening. A few buses that were scheduled to return to the company stopped at the hotel’s entrance.

Clarissa got on the bus with another intern, Lily Harris. Once she got on, she saw a person sitting in the

first row with his eyes closed. She was startled.

That person was none other than Damien.

All the seats on the bus were filled. Only those beside and behind Damien were empty.

Clarissa’s face turned red. They were going to be late, so she bit the bullet and sat behind Damien.

Lily whispered in Clarissa’s ear, “Didn’t President Lawrence drive here himself? Why is he taking the

bus back?”

Although Lily whispered, she had a loud voice. Others could clearly hear her.

“I don’t know,” Clarissa replied while lowering her head.

When Clarissa got on the bus, she kept using her hand to block her face. This was done

unconsciously. She was afraid that Damien would recognize her.

If she was lucky, Damien might not remember what happened last night. Even if he did, there was a

chance that he would not recognize her. Besides, Damien had not encountered her before this incident.

Additionally, he was drunk and the lights were off most of the time last night. From NôvelDrama.Org.

The long journey was boring. Lily started using her phone. Clarissa was tempted and wanted to do the

same. However, she could not find it no matter how hard she searched.

Clarissa nudged Lily.

“Call my phone. I can’t find it.”

“Where did you put it?” Lily asked without paying much attention. Then, she dialed the number saved

as “Clary”.

A pleasant ringtone rang. Surprisingly, the sound did not come from Clarissa’s bag or her luggage. It

was from the front. More specifically, the phone in Damien’s hand was ringing.

Clarissa’s hair stood on end instantly.
