You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 100
You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 100
Matthew’s movement stopped, while Clarissa smiled subtly and pushed him away.
“We were talking about Shermaine,” she said it again and it was as clear as day that she did it deliberately.
Staring into Matthew’s dark eyes, Clarissa titled her head sideways innocently while poking at the man’s shoulders. “What’s wrong? Why are you not saying anything?”
Clarissa knew Matthew wasn’t drunk.
He just had a few drinks and was more relaxed than his usual self.
The man took her hands to his lips and landed a kiss on her finger.
His hot breath brushed against the back of her hand, and it made her feel a little ticklish. She tried to retract her hand, but she failed while the man leaned in closer and kissed the corner of her lips.
Clarissa dissed him in her mind. So you resort to kissing as you have nothing to say.
After ending their kiss, the man muttered hoarsely, “What do you want me to say? Clare, you should be the one who has something to say, not me. Say, are you jealous?”
Clarissa pursed her red lips slightly as she was displeased. “I’m not. We’re talking about business, so no personal feelings are involved. Shermaine volunteered to be the female lead for this movie, and Director Yates wanted to ask for my opinion. She’s pretty and her acting skills are top tier, so I’ll leave it to the director, as he is the one who decides the type of movie he wants to film.”
When Clarissa was saying her words, Matthew placed his hands on her body and kept on moving everywhere, so she had no choice but to brush his hands off again and again.
Furrowing her brows, she continued, “Stop it. I’m talking about something serious here. Afterward, Director Yates decided to cast Shermaine for a supporting role, and I’ll say it again. This is his decision, not mine. However, Shermaine may be reluctant to act as a supporting character… Matthew, you hear me? We’re only talking about business. Stop touching me…”
Suddenly, Matthew “slipped” and took Clarissa into his arms while they fell sideways on the carpet.
The woman was locked in his embrace while the man’s heavy breathing brushed across her cheeks.
Seeing how happy he looked when he chuckled in a deep voice, Clarissa uttered, “You…”
What could she say?
Glaring at Matthew, she said, “Feeling guilty? You didn’t know how to answer me, so you played dirty. Humph! It was obvious that you’re trying to cover something up.”
Leaning on his side, the man smiled faintly and supported his head with one arm. “Clare, you’ve said everything. What else can I say?”
He can try to defend himself, but he didn’t.
It was as if he could tell what Clarissa was thinking. Letting out a soft laugh, he said, “I have no need to defend myself, as I did nothing wrong. There’s nothing between me and Shermaine.”
Fine! You win this time.
Clarissa couldn’t say anything in return, so she looked at him in protest.
Matthew chuckled softly and brushed her lips before moving to the corner of her eyes, touching her eyelashes gently with his finger.
With her patience was running thin, Clarissa put his finger away. “That’s enough. Let me stand up.”
Matthew didn’t agree with her request and smiled. “No. Tell me, Clare. Why are you so concerned about Shermaine?”
Clarissa remained silent while the man lowered his head and touched her lips with his. “I told you before. There’s nothing between me and her. It’s just that our family are quite close.”
All she wanted was to escape from his embrace. “Alright. I understand, and I’m not so petty. So can you let me go now?”
The man chortled and said, “No. I feel great kissing you here. What should I do?”
“There’s nothing you should do,” Clarissa yelled.
“I have a suggestion…” Before he could finish his sentence, the woman interrupted, “I don’t want to hear any of that.”
Clarissa rolled her eyes at him while he cocked his brows with an ambiguous smile plastered on his face. “Hehe… Clare, would you let me do that?”
Looking at the expression on his good-looking features, Clarissa understood what he was getting at.
He said, “It doesn’t matter even if you don’t wish to hear, let’s do it directly then.”
Why is it this again?
Clarissa reached out and poked at his chest. “Can you not think about that just for one day?”
“Which day?” Matthew asked, while Clarissa couldn’t help but answered quickly. “Every day!”
“It’s normal to be like this, Clare.” He emphasized on how normal he was by rubbing his body against Clarissa’s.
The woman’s cheeks blushed instantly from the sudden skin contact.
Matthew leaned down and showed her how normal he was without sparing another word.
Shermaine returned to D City.
She called Matthew before returning, but Donnie was the one who answered the call every time.
Donnie’s excuses were that Matthew was in a meeting or he was busy. However, Shermaine knew the man had drawn a line between them.
Whenever she contacted Matthew in the past, the latter didn’t push her away or rejected her, even though his attitude was indifferent toward her. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
However, it was so obvious this time and, her instincts told her, Matthew had a lover.
When Shermaine hung up, her expression turned ferocious. Seeing her expression, the flight attendant froze in place before changing his mind and backed away from getting her signature.
After getting off the plane, Shermaine rushed to the Tyson Corporation. Everyone was shocked, and no one dared to block her path while she immediately went to the top floor.
Only Donnie stopped her in her tracks when he saw her. “Ms. Smallwood, you’ve just gotten off your plane, so why don’t you head home? Mr. Tyson is busy at the moment, so he has no time for guests.”
“Guest? I’m a guest? Get out of my way!” Shermaine glared at Donnie coldly.
The latter smiled and said politely, “My apologies, Ms. Blackwood. I can ask Mr. Tyson if he wishes to meet you, but you can’t barge in there. Mr. Tyson won’t tolerate mixing work with personal affairs.”
When Donnie was saying those words, a sense of guilt rose in his chest.
Drawing a line between work and personal affairs was only emphasized in the past, given that Ms. Quigley had broken the precedent.
And of course, only Ms. Quigley is eligible for this. As for others, this rule still stands.
Shermaine didn’t dare go against Matthew, so she halted and looked at Donnie with a grim expression. “What are you waiting for? Go!”
“Yes, Ms. Smallwood. Please wait in the guest room,” Donnie replied politely before walking into Matthew’s office.
Soon after, Donnie exited the office and gave Shermaine the answer within her expectations.
Shermaine was an impressive woman, but she never went to Matthew’s company in the past. And why was that?
It wasn’t because she was scared to be involved in scandals. In fact, she wanted scandals with Matthew. However, Matthew never allowed women to go to his company.
Shermaine was believed to be the future Mrs. Tyson, but she wasn’t allowed to go to the company either.
And this was Matthew’s rules.
This time, Shermaine was in a rush to meet Matthew that she actually went all the way to the company. How great would it be if Matthew can meet me once?
However, Matthew didn’t want to meet her.
Donnie said, “Ms. Smallwood, please.”
Shermaine gritted her teeth in secret as the worry in her heart grew bigger and bigger while she felt threatened.
Suddenly, she turned to Donnie and asked, “Is Matt close to any woman recently?”
Donnie only smiled at her and said nothing in reply.
Shermaine knew Donnie wouldn’t tell her anything no matter what.
After calming down, she got up from the couch and left the Tyson Corporation.
When she returned to the Smallwood residence, Kayla was so happy that her daughter was home and she kept on scrutinizing the latter before bringing up her meeting with Matthias and his wife.
She uttered, “The Tysons are so outrageous! Although we didn’t say it clearly, but we were pretty much implying it. How can Matthew abandon you like this? Shermaine, I know you wish to be Mrs. Tyson, and I’ll help you fulfill this wish. Matthew should be grateful that you like him. There’s no way in hell I’ll accept their denial.”
Shermaine didn’t want to listen to her mother’s blabbering. What can we do if the Tysons deny?
We can’t do anything. Our social status is lower than theirs.
“Shermaine, let’s go! I’ll bring you to the Tyson residence now…” Before Kayla could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by her daughter. “Argh… Mom, please stop making things worse. Is there any woman by Matt’s side while I was away?”
“Woman? Does he have a lover? Is this why he rejected you? How outrageous! He can’t do this to you, my precious daughter…” Tears started rolling down Kayla’s cheeks when her heart ached for Shermaine.
The latter was impatient. Seeing her mother cry, a tinge of annoyance and disgust flashed across her eyes.
When James returned home, he saw his wife sobbing and rushed to her side to comfort her.
After Kayla calmed down, James asked them what happened and fell silent when he heard Shermaine suspected Matthew of having a lover.
“Dad, does Matt have a lover? Is it arranged by the Tyson family?” Shermaine knew she was right from her father’s expression.
However, James shook his head. “No. We didn’t receive any information about this.”
Shermaine frowned. “Really?”
Patting her shoulder, James said, “We don’t have any proof, so we can’t say anything. Besides, so what if he has a lover? Shermaine, you’re our only child, and we’ll help you get anything you want.”
Shermaine was initially restless, but when she felt her parents’ love for her, she felt at ease.
Smiling sweetly, her tensed feelings finally relaxed, and she was back to her usual self, whining to her parents.
She hugged her parents and exclaimed, “Dad, Mom, I love you guys the most.”
