You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 2

Clarissa had heard about the famous Skylight Restaurant in D City, but she never got the honor to taste the food here as a reservation had to be made one month in advance in order to dine in.

It was all thanks to Ellie that she could have the privilege this time.

Clarissa knew her friend came from a pretty well-to-do family, but it was today did she finally realized how wealthy the latter was.

After the meal, Ellie went to use the bathroom while she waited in the lobby.

When Matthew made his way down the stairs, he knew at first glance that the person standing there was the young lady from last night.

Clarissa was decked out in a strapless yellow dress that showed off her fair skin, slender neck, and delicate collarbone.

The memories of the little seductress in the bathtub last night came flooding back.

Matthew’s eyes darkened in a slight glint, and there was no telling what he was thinking at that moment.

“Hey, Matt, what are you looking at?”

Standing behind Matthew was a hippy in a flashy pink shirt and white slacks.

“Yo! Who’s that pretty lady there?”

Matthew ignored the man behind him and continued to make his way down.

Clarissa was looking at her phone when she inadvertently looked up and met Matthew’s eyes.

Still clothed in a white shirt with his sleeves rolled up to his elbows and a pair of suit pants that accentuated his tall and slender figure, he held his coat in one hand while putting the other in his pocket. He looked even more mature and suave.

Clarissa’s heart thumped, but the man looked away as though he didn’t recognize her.

After a moment of hesitation, she steeled herself and caught up to him, though she made sure to keep her distance.

Matthew was now standing under a tree, squinting his eyes at her as he whipped out a cigarette and took a drag of smoke.

Clarissa stood frozen on the spot, her face red underneath the sunlight.

Watching as the young lady stood foolishly under the sun, Matthew creased his brows and beckoned to her to come over with his finger.

Clarissa was a little surprised. It wasn’t until she took a deep breath did she edge her way to the shade.

The cold breeze was refreshing, yet facing the man in front of her made her jittery.

Matthew flicked the burned ash on the ground and took another puff. “What do you want to say to me?” Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Why did I let her come this close? He was surprised by his patience.

Clarissa’s heart was pounding as she met his eyes.

“Um… I just want to say thank you for last night.”

Matthew securitized the woman, breathing out a puff of smoke.

“Thank me for not banging you?”

Clarissa turned red in the face, her eyes widening in astonishment at those words from the man whom she thought was a gentleman last night.

“Why? Are you disappointed that I didn’t—”

“No!” Clarissa quickly denied. “No, I’m not. I just want to thank you for the clothes and for calling the doctor. I know you probably don’t care about the money, so I won’t waste your time and go into that. Thank you and I wish you good health.”

With that, Clarissa quickly turned on her heels and left.

Matthew stared at her retreating back and put out the cigarette in his hand.

Why, that was fast. But what’s with the blessing?

Clarissa heaved a sigh of relief as soon as she got into Ellie’s car.

Despite not knowing who he was, she could tell he was no ordinary man.

She didn’t want to behave in a way that would make the man misunderstood her intentions. After all, it was an act of kindness, and she had no reason to see him again. Perhaps they would never see each other again. She didn’t want to remind herself of that embarrassing moment from the day before.

However, fate had something else in store for her.

Clarissa had just come out of the shower in Ellie’s bathroom when Matthew appeared before her eyes.

The smile froze on her lips, and her eyes rounded in shock. W-Why is here?

Matthew was staring at the young lady through squinted eyes. She was wrapped in a small bath towel that barely reached her thigh, revealing her bare shoulders and slender legs.

Clarissa let out a scream, her face flushing as she waved her hands maniacally in an attempt to cover herself.
