You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 29

Clarissa gradually lifted her head and was shocked to see Matthew.

She gasped and lowered her head, avoiding his eye contact.

At the same time, she also pushed Ryler away. “Thanks. I’m fine now.”

Ryler grinned. “What’s wrong? No one’s going to see us together.”

Ryler’s instinct told him that the man in the elevator was not someone who would not spread rumors about him.

He looked at Matthew and thought he seemed familiar but could not recall who he was. Anyway, he still greeted him with a nod.

Ryler had to drag Clarissa into the elevator as she refused to get in. She tried to hide between Ryler’s arms as she could feel someone was staring at her with a murderous scowl.

The few seconds in the elevator felt like forever.

When the door opened, she mustered up her courage and ran out of the elevator. That took Ryler by surprise, and he immediately ran out to catch up with her.

Donnie and Matthew, too, stepped out of the elevator.

“Shall we tell Ms. Quigley why we’re here?”

Donnie was worried that he might throw a fit. Matthew purposely made time for the press conference but still was a tad too late.

The only reason Matthew was here was because of Clarissa. This was why Donnie was afraid Matthew might explode with rage upon seeing how intimate she was with another man.

With a grim face and a cold voice, he said, “Let’s go.”

Meanwhile, Ryler brought Clarissa to his car. At first, he insisted on sending her to the hospital, but upon knowing that there were paparazzi around, he had to part with her. Despite being crestfallen at the turn of events, Ryler promised Clarissa that he would buy her dinner near the film studio.

On the other hand, Clarissa took a cab and went back home instead of the hospital.

She opened the door to her apartment, removed her shoes, and walked into her house, feeling utterly worn out.

Someone was sitting quietly on the couch, but she did not notice.

When she tilted her head and saw a man sitting right there, she screamed at the top of her lungs.

She got the shock of her life after seeing Matthew with his deadpan expression.

Matthew did not say anything, but his eyes were blazing with anger.

Clarissa clenched her chest and gasped, and her cheeks tinged with a sickly blush.

“You scared the crap out of me!”

She then collapsed instantly on the couch and breathed heavily.

Instead of showing concern, Matthew said icily, “Why should you be scared? Unless you’re feeling guilty?”

“Why should I feel guilty?” she mumbled while lying face down and refused to sit up.

“I think I’m going to…”

I think I’m going to pass out.

Before Clarissa could finish her sentence, she had rolled down from the couch and fallen on the floor.

Matthew thought she was putting up an act. “Get up now!”

She did not show any response. Matthew soon realized something was not right with her. He went closer and found out she had fainted. Without hesitation, he carried her and ran out of the house.

Clarissa woke up and realized she was given a drip in a hospital.

While her head was still spinning, the man extended his arm and touched her forehead to check her temperature.

“Hey.”

Clarissa looked at the man beside her.

The man, who looked a little disheveled, gently brushed his masculine hand against her cheeks. He then retracted his hand and sat quite a distance away from her.

“Still in shock?”

He asked in a deeper voice.

Clarissa blinked. “What are you doing here?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

His lips curled into a smirk. “Have you lost your memory?”

Clarissa knitted her brows. “Oh.”

Matthew could no longer get mad at her upon seeing those little puppy eyes.

But he was still very much disturbed by the thought of her being intimate with another man.

“So you remembered. Tell me, what did you remember?” It was as if he was interrogating a suspect.

Clarissa was not dumb. She knew exactly what Matthew was doing.

But why should I explain myself to him, especially when he interrogates me as if I’m a criminal?

Clarissa looked into Matthew’s eyes and answered in a steady voice.

“I remember you trespassing someone’s property.”

Matthew instantly let out a mirthless laugh, but his expression turned grim right after.

He stood up all of a sudden, walked toward her, and pressed his hands against her bed.

“That house belongs to me, Clarissa.”

She was not surprised by that answer. “I know, and I’m thankful for your help. But since you’ve decided to rent the unit to me, you cannot simply barge into the house anymore. How can I feel safe staying here if you’re going to keep doing this without my permission?”

“So you’ve found yourself another man who can offer you a place to stay?”

Wow.

A sudden frown warped Clarissa’s face, and her face turned pallid.

She had been drowsy the entire day and did not have the energy to argue with him anymore.

Instead of starting a fight with Matthew, she chose to remain silent, shut her eyes, and tilted her head to the other side.

Upon seeing her reaction, a vortex of anger swirled inside him. He grabbed her by the chin and forced her to look into his eyes.

“What do you want now? Money? A house? Or a car?”

“Get your hands off me!”

Clarissa pushed him away. The drip on the back of the hand fell off, and blood started dripping down her hand. With heavy breathing, she roared, “Get out! Get out now!”

The tension between them escalated. Matthew took a glance at the pool of blood on the floor and walked out of the ward.

A nurse soon arrived and put her on a drip again. Clarissa just leaned quietly on the bed and did not say anything.

From then on, Matthew had not appeared in the hospital anymore.

During this period, Ellie and Damon had visited Clarissa. They even accompanied her and sent her home.

Ellie stayed back to take care of Clarissa.

“I’m feeling much better now. You don’t need to worry about me anymore.”

Ellie made her lay on her bed, stopped her from going anywhere, and did everything she could to make her feel better.

“I’m going nowhere, and you’re going to stay in bed. Unless you want to come over to my place?”

“Forget it then.”

Clarissa shook her head and grinned.

Suddenly, she recalled the remark Matthew made about the house.

He’d probably think I’m after something if I continue to stay in his house.

“I think I should move out.”

“To? Where else can you go?”

“I’ll be going over to the film studio in a couple of days. Once my work is done, I’ll return to my hometown.”

“What?”

Ellie was shocked. “I thought you wanted to stay here for a longer period? You’ve only been here for a month! No way I’m letting you go. After your trip to the film studio, you’re going to come back here. You hear me?”

“Oh, Ellie.”

Clarissa shook her head and smiled wryly. “I thought I needed to stay here longer, but it seems my work is almost done. I can always return home and work as usual. I want to go back and spend more time with my Grandma.”

“But Clare…”

Ellie wrapped her hands around Clarissa.

Clarissa had made up her mind. “If you miss me, you can always come to visit. I can visit you as well! Come, let’s start packing for my trip to the film studio. I’ve to get there as soon as possible, and once

I’m done, I should be able to vacate the house by this weekend.”

“How could you do this to me!” Ellie said in between sobs.

Clarissa smiled and gave her a big hug. “You know I love you the most, Miss Ellie!”

After Ellie had left, Clarissa went to the hospital to get another jab. She then returned home and started packing as she planned to leave in the afternoon.

Instead of leaving on weekend, she booked a flight and left for the film studio tonight.

After boarding the airplane, she texted Ellie and told her that the director needed her on-set, and she had to leave early.

While everyone in the Tyson residence was busy chatting and playing chess, Ellie was on her phone playing a game.

She suddenly received a message from Clarissa, and her expression turned grim.

The other family members went up to her after noticing the change on her face. “What’s wrong?”

Ellie sighed. “It’s Clare. She has left D City. She told me she would only leave this weekend, but now she had to leave early for work.”

Matthew, who was playing chess with his father, squeezed a chess piece in his hand upon hearing that, but his expression remained unchanged.

“Does that mean she won’t coming back to D City after her work?”

“Yeah, she’ll be heading back to her hometown after that. Uncle Matt, you can take back the apartment now.”

Matthew acted as if he was so focused on the game and ignored her, but deep in his heart, he was so mad that he was about to break the chess piece.

Margaret smiled. “Clare is a great girl, and she knows what’s best for her. Not only she’s capable, but she’s also talented. I would have made her stay if we have a suitable man for her in our family.”

She could not help but look at Matthew and asked, “By the way, how’s the girl you were with earlier? I want you to know that her family background doesn’t bother me as long as she’s a decent woman.”

“Oh yes, how does she look like?” Ellie asked.

Matthew ignored them.

When Margaret wanted to pursue the matter, her husband warned her with an eye signal. She eventually gave up and walked away.

Clarissa had arrived at the film studio, but the mysterious female lead was still nowhere to be found as the team was shooting a few scenes that did not involve her.

If what she heard was true, the female lead for this series should be Shermaine Smallwood. Despite her young age, this accomplished film star had won multiple national and international awards and was well-loved by the people.

It would make sense for her not to be here yet as she still had not returned to the country.

Clarissa could not believe that an award-winning film star was willing to take part in this project. Nevertheless, a rumor would remain a rumor unless she saw Sharmaine here with her own eyes.

A few days later, Shermaine finally arrived. Everyone, including Clarissa, was thrilled to meet her for the first time. Yet, her arrival at the film studio had caused a commotion when she was seen with a mysterious man at the airport.

Shermaine’s relationship had always made headlines. Though she often told the media she was in love with someone, nobody knew who the person was. Rumors had it that the man whom she was dating came from a prominent family in D City. This was why the media was afraid to spill the tea.

This time, people might have caught a glimpse of the man at the airport, but they still could not tell who he was.

Upon seeing the man’s silhouette from a distance, the curious Clarissa had a sinking feeling in her heart.
