Chapter 263 Kick Her When She Is Down
However, it was Sod's Law.
Madison and her had gradually drifted apart.
Clarissa didn't say anything else. After greeting Madison, she was ready to leave.
At this moment, the middle-aged man sitting opposite said.
"Are you Miss Clarissa Chapman?"
Clarissa was taken aback, and then turned around to have a look.
The smile on his face was gentle and calm. It was the kind of forgiving smile that belonged to the superiors when they looked at ordinary people.
She nodded, "Yes."
"I have seen your performance. Your acting skills are outstanding. I heard that you sang the theme song of the drama? I especially like that song. Could you please sing it for me tonight?"
Clarissa was a little surprised.
After all, "Cannon Fodder Strategy" was just a small-budget online TV drama, and Alvin did not hire any professional singers because he had to save cost.
He accidentally found that Clarissa could sing quite well, so he directly asked her to sing the theme song.
Clarissa didn't expect that the man had also heard of it.
Clarissa was a little embarrassed and ran her fingers through her hair.
"It's... not good. You're having a party here..."
"No, it's just that this song has something in common with a song written by an old friend of mine. I heard it at the time and felt a little touched. Therefore, when I see you today, I want to listen to it again here. I'm so sorry."
The man said with a warm smile.
In fact, this request was a bit abrupt because this was the first time they saw each other.
But his calm temperament and earnest tone made Clarissa feel that he really wanted to listen to this song, not just for making fun of her.
Clarissa was not a stingy person, and she could see that the identities of the people present were not simple.
Moreover, his eyes were very sincere. Maybe this song really meant something special to him.
Anyway, she didn't want to go back so early to continue socializing, and it was not impossible to sing a song.
Thinking like this, she glanced at Madison.
Madison nodded slightly.
She pursed her lips and finally nodded, "Okay."
There was ready-made audio equipment in the box. Although it was not as professional as the one in the recording studio, its quality and timbre were pretty good, because Ladybug Bar was a luxurious entertainment place.
Clarissa asked someone to order the song, and then picked up the microphone and began to sing.
In fact, every time she sang this song, she entered into the spirit of the song. This time was no exception.
When the first musical note sounded, Clarissa devoted herself to the world of music.
She heard that this song was written by a well-known composer. It was about his lover he once loved very much but died because of an accident. He had been thinking about her and hoping to meet her in his next life.
Although it was about separation between loved ones in life or death, the whole song was not too sad, but there was a touch of sorrow immersed in it. Generally speaking, it was melancholic but not grieving.
Clarissa was very engaged in singing, and the middle-aged man had been shocked since she sang the first word.
His face was no longer calm and gentle. Instead, he looked at Clarissa in disbelief and astonishment.
There was a difference between listening to it on the spot and on TV.
When he heard it on TV, although he was surprised, he could soon react that she was not her.
But at this time, his feeling was different.
That person was right in front of him. Her eyes, her expression, and her voice...
He seemed to see his old lover.
After singing the song, Clarissa quickly returned to normal, turned her head and smiled, "Please do not laugh at my singing."
After speaking, she realized that the middle-aged man didn't respond and just stared at her blankly.
Clarissa's heart skipped a beat.
Was there any problem?
Madison also noticed that the atmosphere was strange, and she immediately clapped her hands and laughed, "Clarissa sang very well. Mr. Levine, am I right?"
The man called Mr. Levine reacted with an unnatural expression and nodded quickly, "Yes, great."
Although Clarissa thought that his reaction was too weird, she didn't think too much. She put down the microphone and said, "Grandma, I should go back now."
Madison nodded and smiled. "Okay! Let Mr. Duncan see you off."
Clarissa originally wanted to refuse her, but Elliot had already walked to the door. If she refused again, it would be improper, so she didn't say anything.
After going out, Elliot smiled and said, "You sang really well just now. It was more pleasant to hear than on TV."
Clarissa raised her eyebrows, "So who sings better? Lara or me?"
Lara was not only an actress, but also a singer. She had sung many songs before!
Elliot's face froze.
He said awkwardly, "What do you mention her for?"
Clarissa stopped, looked at him and sneered, "Elliot, I know what you are thinking, so you don't have to pretend in front of me.
"In the past, the Chapman family was in the charge of Chloe, Lara, and her mother, so you pleased Chloe and dated with Lara because you wanted to merge the Chapman Group into the Duncan Group."
"But now, Chloe has got into trouble and she is useless. Lara and Lena are locked in a series of lawsuits. You are afraid that they will cause trouble to yourself or the Duncan family, so you want to abandon Lara and be with me again. Elliot, Do you think everyone is as silly as Lara? Do you think I will be fooled by you?"
Elliot's face darkened.
"What are you talking about? In your heart, I am such a heartless person? I admit that the relationship between Lara and me is indeed bad now, but we had quarreled before before she had an accident! I don't mean to kick her when she is down now!"
Clarissa was so angry but she laughed.
"You don't mean that? Elliot, do you believe your own words? Let me tell you. If you can be responsible and support her now, I will still respect you as a man. But do you stand by her side now? No!"
"To put it bluntly, you are just for yourself, and you only love yourself, so stop acting in front of me! Your acting skills are poor and you make me sick."
"What's more, since you have chosen her, take your responsibility as a man, otherwise I will only hate you more and despise you more!"
After speaking, she turned around and left.
Elliot had never expected that Clarissa would accuse him so rudely.
His colour came and went.
Finally, he was so furious that he gritted his teeth and said, "Clarissa! You will regret what you said today!"
Clarissa did not look back.
Elliot almost went berserk.
He thought for a while. Then he suddenly strode forward to pull her and said in a deep voice, "Wait. I know a secret. Do you want to listen to it?"
Clarissa glanced at him and sneered, "I don't want to hear it even if you have a hundred secrets! Let go of me!"
"I'm sincere! What should I do to make you trust me? Yes, I admit that I have made many mistakes and done a lot of things that I shouldn't do. Maybe I've hurt you, but at least I really want to apologize to you now. Why don't you want to give me a chance?"
