You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 195

Although it was not the first time she said something like that in front of Matthew, her face flushed when she got caught being so narcissistic in front of other colleagues. She was so embarrassed that she wished she could hide under the table.

Mandy and the others were shrewd enough to excuse themselves, leaving with their documents.

In no time, Matthew and Clarissa were the only ones left in the studio.

The man had a sly smile on his face, fixing his eyes on her.

Having no choice, Clarissa resorted to covering her face. By burying her head in the sand, she pretended as if nothing untoward had happened.

Soon she heard Matthew’s steady footsteps approaching. The man now stood beside her, the sound of his chuckle tickling her ears. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

The next moment, the man grabbed hold of her shoulder and turned her around to face him.

He then pulled her hands down, uncovering her face.

With her eyes flickering and her face flushed, Clarissa preemptively made an accusation against him, “Why did you eavesdrop on our conversation?”

Matthew flashed her an innocent smile. “Clare, I didn’t eavesdrop. In fact, I listened to your conversation openly.”

Clarissa’s face became redder. “Hmph! Then why did you listen to our conversation?”

The young lady was acting petulant.

With an innocent face, Matthew let out a chuckle. “Why? Well, aren’t your words meant to be heard? Besides, I can’t possibly plug my ears, can I?”

“Hmph!” Clarissa pouted while pulling a long face, trying in vain to hide her awkwardness and shyness.

In fact, she was boastful just now, and the man had found out about her narcissistic side.

Matthew, on the other hand, was amused. He knew the young lady must be feeling very embarrassed right now. He patted her head, like how he would at a kid’s, saying smilingly, “Uh-uh, stop pouting! Well, in fact, you’re right in saying that your beauty is capable of sweeping me off my feet.”

Clarissa’s lips twitched, not knowing how to respond to him.

When the man once again pinched her cheeks, she furrowed her brows. “Don’t do that! It hurts!”

Matthew gave a hearty laugh. The young lady’s skin was silky smooth, and it seemed like her cheeks had become chubbier than before. It actually felt good to pinch on it.

He just couldn’t take his hands off them. The next moment, he gave her lips a big smoosh, fondling her lips with his. “Oh, my darling, look at how much I care for you.”

Clarissa glared at him with accusatory eyes. You’re such an outrageous flirt!

But there was nothing she could do.

Matthew burst into gales of laughter while hugging her in his arms. The man adored her very much!

Hearing the laughter, those who were hiding in the office exchanged glances.

Mandy whispered, “The staff we met at the lobby of Tyson Corporation dared say that our boss is only Mr. Tyson’s lover. They must be so blind that they can’t see how much Mr. Tyson loves Clarissa. I think it’s just a matter of time before Mr. Tyson marries Clarrissa.”

However, Rocky seemed to hold a different opinion. “Clarissa is indeed a nice lady, but it’s not that easy to marry into the Tyson family. The prominent families will look into every aspect of a woman before they accept her into the family. Well, of course, I hope Mr. Tyson and Clarissa can have a happy ending.”

It was his genuine hope though he was not too optimistic about it.

Mandy shot daggers at Rocky, yet the latter was unmoved. She then shifted her gaze to Yael. “Yael, you have known Clarissa for a long time. What do you think? Clarissa will marry Mr. Tyson, right?”

To her disappointment, Yael replied impassively, “Whether they marry each other or not, that’s none of our business.”

Mandy raised her voice, “What do you mean that’s none of our business? Of course, that has a lot to do with us!”

If Mr. Tyson doesn’t marry Clarissa, she will have to return the studio.

On the other hand, if they tie the knot, not only can the two lovebirds finally live happily ever after, Clarissa can also take her career to the next level.

Although Clarissa is already very successful, it will only do her good if she marries Mr. Tyson. She can climb to the top of the social ladder!

Yet, the others were not as concerned as Mandy. She shook her head and sighed, for she didn’t get a positive answer from her colleagues. She turned around and peeked through the gaps of the curtain.

In the studio, the afternoon sunshine poured through the window, shining on the two lovebirds.

Aww, the two make such a lovely couple. If their relationship broke up, there was no way that Mandy would ever believe in love again.

In the end, Matthew brought Clarissa back to his office.

Initially, Clarissa thought of leaving the studio after staying for a short while. Seeing Matthew went all the way to the studio to see her off, she eventually decided to stay, knowing the man was reluctant to let her leave.

She was now sitting in front of Matthew’s desk. The latter had installed a computer for her so that she could work while at the same time keeping him company. However, the problem was that it was hard for her to focus on her work with him sitting in front of her.

The temptation of his charm was irresistible. After typing a few words, she would look up at the man who was working seriously. Her eyes took control of themselves as they traced his thick eyebrows to his pair of deep eyes, tall nose bridge, and perfect lip shape. His face is flawless. How could a man be so handsome and sexy?

Clarissa was making goo-goo eyes at Matthew when the latter suddenly looked up, the mirth in his deep-set eyes barely veiled.

“Clare, do you like what you see?”

Clarissa’s face flushed in an instant, yet she held her gaze.

“Well, yes.”

Matthew let out a chuckle; he was pleased with the answer.

“Then, come here and give me a kiss.”

Clarissa scrunched up her nose while shaking her head. “No. You better continue with your work, or it might affect your work efficiency. Let’s not talk now, and I won’t look at you anymore. We need to hurry and focus on our work.”

At that moment, the two of them looked like two naughty students chattering in class instead of doing their homework.

Clarissa fixed her eyes on the computer screen as if she was absorbed in her work.

Seeing that, Matthew couldn’t help curling his lips into a smile, yet he didn’t insist. The man’s expression softened, and he seemed to look gentler and warmer at that instant.

It was unimaginable to others to see such a warm expression on his face. In fact, it would only appear when no one but Clarissa was around.

In the quiet office, the two of them dived into their work. Yet, it was not long before Clarissa started surfing the internet. She soon grew impatient and lost interest in browsing the internet. In the end, she went to take selfies by the window, capturing Matthew’s figure as well. She couldn’t help feeling smug to have such a handsome man as his boyfriend.

“Hehe…” Standing by the window, the young lady covered her mouth as she giggled, trying to hide her smugness.

When Matthew cast his gaze at her, she immediately kept a straight face and flashed him an innocent smile. Then, she continued looking at the picture on her phone.

Yet, her good mood was spoilt when she received a call from Mimi.

“Clare, I’ve got good news for you. There is a famous director who is looking for a second female lead, and I have recommended you to him. Don’t you think I’m kind to you?”

“Oh, really?”

Clarissa didn’t believe the all selfish Mimi would give up the opportunity for nothing.

“If it’s such a golden opportunity, why didn’t you take it?”

“Oh, Clare, I knew you won’t trust me. Well, of course, I wish to take up the role as the second lead, but the director is looking for a stunner for that character. Since I’m not as beautiful as you, I decided to give up the opportunity and recommended you instead. You can inquire about the movie Rogue. It’s a movie that focuses on the story of the heroines. You will shoot to fame with the starring role as the second lead in the movie!”

“You’re kind to me, but why do I find it so hard to believe?”

“Clare, there is no need to be so wary of me. I still remember you for giving me money to pay for my tuition fees. I won’t harm you.”

“Uh-uh, I didn’t give it to you, but I lend it. I have the IOU with me. You still need to return me the money.”

“Fine, I borrowed the money from you. Still, you have helped me a lot. I will repay you for your kindness if I get accepted to the film academy. However, seeing that I finally have the opportunity to repay you, it’s no doubt I will recommend you to the director.”

Clarissa sneered, “I don’t need that.”

“Why?”

“I know nothing about acting. Plus, I’m not interested in becoming the second lead. That’s it, bye!”

Mimi quickly halted her when she was about to end the call. “Wait! Don’t hang up! Are you really not considering it?”

“Nope.”

“Well, okay then, I respect your decision.” Mimi paused for a while before she continued saying, “Actually, I’m going to a party tonight. Many of the celebrities will be present as well. This is my opportunity to get acquainted with those from the entertainment industry. I got the party ticket with much difficulty, but I don’t have branded clothes. Clare, can I borrow them from you?”

“My clothes don’t suit you.”

“How do you know they don’t suit me? Clare, don’t be so stingy! It’s just some clothes, and I promise I’ll return them to you immediately after the party. You have no idea how difficult it is to get a foothold in the entertainment industry with no resources and connections. I didn’t expect you to help me, but at least don’t ruin my opportunity. Besides, you know well about my financial ability and that I can’t afford branded clothes. Are you still going to reject me? I know I was wrong, but now I’ve changed. I wanted to strive for my own success, but I can’t possibly show up at the party in shabby clothes, can I? Clare, please, lend me your outfits,” Mimi pleaded.

Clarissa was impressed to see Mimi humbling herself.

In the past, Mimi would definitely hate her to the core if she ever rejected her request. Thus, it was truly unexpected to see Mimi being so thick-skinned, abasing herself before her.

In the end, Clarissa relented, “Fine. I’ll lend you the clothes.”

“Clare, you’re the best! Send the clothes to me at No. 3 Ayrith Villa at Abingdon Road before seven tonight. I’ll meet you at the door. I’m going to attend classes now, bye!” With that, Mimi ended the call before she could say anything.

Clarissa frowned slightly. Although she agreed to Mimi’s request, she was reluctant to lend her those clothes bought by Matthew.

Later that day, she went to a mall nearby and bought a mid-priced gown, in which the expense of it would add up to Mimi’s debt.

Since there was time, she did some shopping before heading to Ayrith Villa with Gina.
