You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 149

“Tsk… “

So, she is really jealous.

Matthew gave a little chuckle and loosened Clarissa’s hands. He comforted her by brushing his lips with hers lightly.

“Clare, that was just a social activity. I happened to be with her after work. So, it is actually just work. However, since you’re not happy about it, I won’t be alone with her again in the future. It won’t happen anymore, I promise. Anything you say, OK?”

Matthew’s lips almost touched hers as he spoke. Clarissa was melted by his deep and sexy tone. Her body couldn’t help but tremble in response to the sensation she felt flushing through her.

Deep down, Clarissa had already given in to him, but she was stubborn and reluctant to admit it.

“Hmph! Will you do as I say? Are you sure you can be so obedient? Anyway, I wouldn’t even know if you hadn’t done as I say. It so happened that I bumped into you guys today. Else, I bet you had already followed her upstairs. Huh… “

Clarissa didn’t carry on speaking but her intention was quite obvious.

“So you don’t trust me?”

Clarissa twitched her lips without saying a single word. She turned her gaze away from looking at Matthew.

He couldn’t help but let out a sigh softly. He moved her face so that she was facing him, then he came closer to Clarissa.

“Clare, since you don’t trust me, why not you follow me to work from tomorrow onwards? Anyway, you only need your laptop for work. You can work anywhere you want, right? Just follow me everywhere I go, okay? So, I will be able to see you anytime, anywhere.”

“No.”

“I think this works and it’s such a great idea.”

The more he thought about it, the happier he was. The thought of having Clarissa with him every day got him really excited. Although he couldn’t literally have her in his pocket, it was still a good idea to be able to see her in person.

If it was possible, he would like to place a small desk in his office, the chair definitely had to be comfortable for her to sit in. A massage chair was also necessary in order to prevent backache from sitting for too long. Besides, he had to prepare her favorite snacks and drinks as well…

Matthew couldn’t stop himself from imagining things, as if it was really happening. At the same time, he even started discussing with Clarissa about it.

“What color do you like your desk to be? What kind of material do you want? How about a solid wood desk? Or do you prefer something else? It has to be custom made based on your height, so it is more comfortable for you to sit in. Apart from that… “

“Wait, stop right there!”

Clarissa couldn’t stand it anymore. He had completely gone off the topic.

What wishful thinking! Matthew spoke as if she wasn’t mad anymore.

Clarissa pouted. “Stop it. I’m not going to follow you to work. Don’t you get tired of seeing each other everyday?”

“Oh really?”

The gaze in Matthew’s eyes turned slightly cold, staring at her with a dangerous smile on his face. “Are you tired of seeing me, Claire?”

“I’m not tired of seeing you. I was just saying that we might get tired someday if we keep seeing each other too often. Won’t you get bored of me being in your sight all the time? You probably won’t get bored so soon. But try to imagine when it happens every seconds, won’t you get tired of me?”

“Of course, I won’t!”

Don’t miss his self-confidence.

As for Clarissa, she wasn’t so confident about that. As days go by, the novelty would wear off eventually. Sometimes, people even got bored of seeing the person with who they were closest, let alone their lover.

Else, there wouldn’t be such thing as “the seven year itch”. Perhaps, she didn’t even need seven years. A couple of months was enough for her to feel itchy.

Why is Matthew so confident though?

But, she didn’t say a thing. Nevertheless, he seemed to know what was on Clarissa’s mind.

After all, she still didn’t trust him wholeheartedly.

Matthew felt a little angry. However, it was pointless explaining further to her. She was not going to believe him anyway.

Action speaks louder than words. He might as well just prove it to her with his actions.

As for now, he kissed her on the lips without further ado.

It was early in the morning, but Clarissa was woken by Ellie’s phone call.

Ellie was very excited on the other end of the phone.

“How was it? What exactly happened last night? Did you declare war on that woman? Did you guys fight? Or you delivered a knockout blow? How did her facial expression look like? Did she turn pale? Haha… I’m getting excited just thinking about it. Actually, I wanted to follow you guys to have a look last night, but I thought it wasn’t a good idea for me to tag along. That was why I left. I was up all night wondering what happened to you. Come on, spit it out! How did it go? Clare? Clarissa? Can you hear me? Hello?”

Ellie wasn’t able to hear from Clarissa as her mouth was sealed with Matthew’s kiss.

It was already half an hour later when Ellie heard from Clarissa again, after Matthew finally got out of bed.

Ellie was smirking on the other side of the phone when Clarissa returned her call.

“Haha… You don’t have to explain. I get it. I totally get it… “

Clarissa twitched her lips and blushed. She took a glare at Matthew who was just came out of the bathroom. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

“What does that mean? My phone was dead.”

“Mm-hmm. Can you at least come up with a better excuse? I don’t think I can buy your excuse. Does that sound convincing to you?”

Ellie laughed out loud, “Oh, come on. Stop giving excuses. They’re all nonsense. It’s better if you just tell me what happened last night.”

“What do you think? Nothing happened. After sending her home, I was so generous for letting them carry on where they left off earlier. Sadly, they decided not to do anything. It’s a shame that they missed out on such a good opportunity!”

Clarissa spoke with a hint of jealousy in her voice.

Matthew happened to hear everything as soon as he got dressed from the dressing area.

He buttoned up his sleeves while walking towards the bedside. Then, he sat on the bed and tried to hold her with his arms. Without saying anything, he expressed his intention with his handsome face. He raised his brows and looked at her.

Clarissa hurriedly corrected herself, “Haha… Actually, I was just kidding.”

Ellie never stopped laughing on the other end. “Did Uncle Matt dare to do anything crazy when you were there with him?”

Matthew pinched her cheeks gently. He smiled slightly and got up to leave the bedroom when he saw the frightened look on Clarissa’s face.

Clarissa heaved a sigh of relief. Finally, she could lie in bed lazily and talk with Ellie.

“Nothing actually happened last night. We got back to Zen Highlands soon after sending the woman back. Just look at you. You are all excited, huh? Were you expecting me to get into a fight with her? Have you ever seen me fighting with anybody?”

“Well, that’s true. Hey, you’re way too kind. If I were you, I would definitely slapped her in the face. How dare she seduce my man? It’s time to teach her a lesson… “

“Wow, you are Wonder Woman. That’s very brave of you. I’m not going to do that.”

“Tsk. Clare, let me know if something like this happen again in the future. I’ve got your back. You’re my Aunt Clare. After all, we’re family!”

“Stop it. Don’t speak too soon. By the way, I think I saw you getting into a patrol car last night before I left. Was it your friend? Or something happened again?”

There shouldn’t be anything happening. After all, they were together for the whole night. Thus, nothing could happen to Ellie in that few minutes.

Clarissa didn’t see it clearly at that time. She wasn’t so sure if that was indeed Ellie.

She was just casually asking as it suddenly came in her mind.

However, Ellie seemed to be hesitating. She stuttered. “Hmm, it’s just a friend. Well, I-I got to go.”

After that, she hung up the call hurriedly.

Clarissa was still holding her phone and trying to figure out what happened. She had no idea what was going on.

However, she was a little suspicious of Ellie’s reaction.

After a while, Clarissa finally got up from bed and went downstairs. Meanwhile, Matthew was just about to go out.

He hugged and kissed her before leaving.

“Are you really not coming with me?”

Clarissa curled her lips and pushed Matthew’s face away. She couldn’t help but think of the way he treated her in his office previously. Of course, she rejected his offer without any hesitation.

“I’m not going.”

She knew that Matthew was not going to behave himself.

Thus, Matthew chuckled softly. He pinched her cheeks and asked. “Okay. How about you bring me lunch?”

“No way.”

There was another rejection from Clarissa.

Matthew’s eyes darkened. She quickly explained, “Hmm, I have an appointment with someone this afternoon.”

“With who?”

“With Yael. We have to look for a studio. I haven’t found a place for studio staff to work. We have been communicating online at our respective homes. I don’t think that’s something good in the long run. Well, as a boss, I have to organize all these things. I cannot rely on Yael all the time.”

“Renting a studio?”

Matthew lost in thoughts for a while. He then murmured in acknowledgment without saying much. After a kiss, he finally headed for work.

After breakfast, Clarissa waited for Yael in a café. Meanwhile, she was searching for a suitable place to rent on the internet. The location for the studio shouldn’t be too remote. Hence, she must have a relatively high budget for the rental, especially in D City. She felt as if her heart was bleeding, just by seeing the rental rate in that city.

Soon, Yael arrived. Clarissa hurriedly said, “Yael, it took me quite a long time to finally found a place. I think that is pretty much what we’re looking for. Let’s have a look, ok?”

“That’s fine. I’ve found you a place. It’s definitely going to be a perfect fit. You don’t have to look for it anymore.”

“Oh? Really? Am I dreaming? That’s great! Thank you so much, Yael! Let’s go and check the place out.”

“Let’s go.”

Yael fetched Clarissa. Not long after, both of them arrived at Tyson Corporation’s building.

After getting off the car, Clarissa stared at Yael with a confused look.

Yael shrugged. “Well, since we’re here, let’s just have a look. Undoubtedly, this is the perfect location. The cost should be slightly higher, but I think you will get a good bargain from the owner. Besides, can you manage to find another location that is better than here? You’re the one who has the final say on your own studio. Putting everything else on one side, well, here is an opportunity knocking at our door, we should just grab it.”

“Hmm… Alright then.”

Clarissa smiled resignedly.

“So… Let’s take a look upstairs?”

Clarissa nodded her head. Then, they went up by the elevator.

They were on the third floor. Any random room on that floor was almost three hundred square feet. The space was more than enough for the few of them. The view was amazing, and it was a good

environment. Besides, it was even fully furnished, including some basic office equipment. They could just add on some other furniture and fixture that they wanted later on.

That is just perfect!

Yael took a glaze at Clarissa, and she smiled in response.

Yael kept on looking at Clarissa. She was confused. After a while, she finally asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Such a perfect studio with an affordable price. In fact, it’s almost free of charge. Are you not going to express your gratitude towards the owner of this place?”

Clarissa’s face instantly turned red. Before she could response, Yael said, “I’ll make my move first. You can contact him directly, or walk around upstairs.”

After Yael left, Clarissa finally gave Matthew a call.

“Hello?”

Matthew sounded lazy on the line, as if he had already expected to receive a call from Clarissa.

“Clare, you’re here? Come upstairs. I’m waiting for you.”
