Love in Twilight

Chapter 496 Where Can She Hide?

As Damien left, he noticed the recommendation form on Chanel’s desk. The one on top was for

Clarissa.

Her photograph was breathtaking. Her hair was silky smooth, and her large eyes were shining

beautifully. She was lovely and warm, and was indeed so much more different from her past self.

Damien noticed that Chanel had graded Clarissa with an A+.

What a high grade!

Damien grinned proudly, as if he was seeing his own daughter acing a test with full marks.

“I’m leaving,” Damien told Chanel.

“Alright. It’s really late, you should get back and rest. Right, where are you staying tonight?”

Damien’s thoughts halted. Nevertheless, he said, “I’m going to my grandpa’s.”

Chanel didn’t say much. However, she noticed how Damien had paused next to her desk.

It seemed Damien concerned himself with any and every aspect of Clarissa, no matter what it was.

Damien didn’t go straight to his grandfather’s, but instead went to Clarissa’s first.

He knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no response.

“Clarissa!” he shouted loudly from outside. Yet, Clarissa still didn’t respond.

Just as he took his phone out to call her, Clarissa’s neighbor in the opposite unit came out.

“Oh, Mr. Lawrence! Are you looking for Miss Johnson?” The neighbor looked at Damien with bleary

eyes. It seemed that the neighbor had been sleeping.

“That’s right.”

“She hasn’t come back after going out in the afternoon.”

“She’s not back yet?” Damien’s eyebrows scrunched together.

“Yeah.” The neighbor gave it some more thought and confirmed again, saying, “Yeah, she hasn’t come

back.”

“Sorry for the trouble.” Damien left to stay the night at his grandfather’s.

That night, he had been planning to stay over at Clarissa’s. It was a shame she wasn’t home. Could

she have guessed that Damien would come over at night and purposely hid herself somewhere else?

Where could she have gone?

…

Connie lost her leading role in Female Emperor. To rub salt in the wound, she couldn’t even get a

supporting role. In fact, the project had not a single trace of her.

Iris was extremely meticulous. She promised to give Connie the role if she messed things up between

Damien and Clarissa. However, she knew more than anyone that Connie didn’t have the looks for a

leading role. In fact, Connie wouldn’t even make it as an antagonistic supporting character. Connie

wasn’t capable of taking up a leading role and anchoring a project. Promising Connie the role was Iris’s

way of placating Connie, though ultimately, it was just a hollow offer. Iris was aware that Connie was

useless and didn’t have the ability to keep Damien and Clarissa apart. There was no way Iris would Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

give up her career for Connie. This time, she had to come up with a blockbuster.

Iris also knew about Caleb. Since she knew she couldn’t use him any longer, she stopped paying

attention to him.

Mr. Black Suit promised that Connie could still land another project even though she had lost this one,

and made her take a break.

Meanwhile, Iris had recently returned to Lotharia to deal with family matters.

But Connie did not return to Genovia once she was done with filming for Wait, Teacher. Instead, she

started hanging out at the University of Florin. Meanwhile, Cindy waited at the hotel.

Connie wasn’t leaving, for she had taken a shine to Caleb.

Wouldn’t it be great if she could film in Florin and land a cute guy when she was done?

That day, Caleb was on his way to conduct a lesson with books in his embrace. He ran into Connie on

campus.

“Connie?” Caleb didn’t know a thing about Connie and Clarissa’s conflict, so he was very friendly with

her.

“Caleb?” Connie was overjoyed to be able to fake a coincidental meeting with Caleb.

“What are you doing here?”

“Are you going to class? Can I follow along? I’m done with filming, and I don’t have much to do. I’m

bored,” she said.

Caleb checked the time on his phone. It was another half an hour to his next class. “It’s alright, it’s still

early. It’s fine if you want to follow me to class. The next class is on Marx and Lenin, and it’ll be full of

students. No one will be able to tell that you’re there. Let me buy you a smoothie.”

Coincidentally, they were walking by the smoothie bar. Without saying another word, Caleb went to buy

Connie a drink.
