You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 114

Ellie thought that Clarissa was just a persistent and obstinate kind of person.

But in fact, Clarissa could also foresee the consequences she would have to face if she kept waiting like this. That being said, she kept on waiting because she was still a tad bit irritated.

Although she was unsure if waiting was the right thing to do, she simply wanted to dawdle and observe what would happen.

The next day, Clarissa woke up with a cold and was feeling queasy. The strong cold wind she was exposed to for a long period of time last night was probably the reason why she got sick.

Meanwhile, Ellie left the film studio first thing in the morning to go back and make sure everything was fine. If anything had gone awry, she would be able to inform Clarissa immediately.

When Clarissa arrived at the set, the shoot was already happening. Since her lightheadedness was still lingering, she rested on Jamie’s chair for a while. Her rest was short-lived as she was soon called to help out with the shoot.

During her work, Clarissa started sweating abnormally and was soon drenched in cold sweat. Her hands and legs also started shaking uncontrollably.

Deep down in her heart, she knew that something like this was going to happen sooner or later since she didn’t exercise regularly before. Because of that frail body of hers, just having a cold was enough to deplete all her strength, deterring her from doing her work.

I need to start exercising more in the future.

Actually, Clarissa had told herself the same thing many times before but she never had the conviction to keep exercising.

In the resting room, Jamie was done changing and was ready for her final shoot. In her last scene, she needed to act out the death of the princess after the nation was invaded.

“I can’t believe today is going to be my last shoot. To be honest, I’ll really miss playing my character.” Jamie let out a sigh.

With her pale face, Clarissa looked at her and smiled before querying, “Are you deliberately complaining out loud in the hope that I would take pity and give you more screen time?”

“Of course not, Ms. Quigley. I wouldn’t dare. However, if you don’t mind, perhaps you could give me more scenes to play in your next film?” asked Jamie.

“Okay. If you promise to be nice toward me, I’ll let you be the female lead for my next film,” replied Clarissa.

“Really? O great Ms. Quigley, whatever is it that you want me to do, I’ll make sure to get it done…” Jamie looked like she would deign to do anything.

Gazing at her expression, Clarissa chuckled and said, “Okay, enough fooling around. The next scene you’re going to play will require you to be strapped onto the wire work. Also, there’ll be an explosion in the scene so be prepared and stay focused.”

Jamie was touched by Clarissa’s caring reminder to her as she responded, “I love you so, so much, Ms. Quigley. What should I do with this intense feeling I have right now?”

“Move along now. I’m straight,” Clarissa clarified.

“But your beauty is dazzling and I just can’t get enough of it. What say you if I change my sex?” asked Jamie.

Miffed, Clarissa pushed away Jamie, who was being a nudnik to her. Since the scene they were going to film was an important one, almost every actor and actress was present on the set, including Yaala and Quentin. This was the final scene left to shoot in the film studio. After this, they would have to film in the desert and other various settings.

During the shoot, all of the actors were cautious and alert in the midst of the fights and explosions. Even though they were strapped onto the wire works, their safety still wasn’t a hundred percent guaranteed.

“Don’t worry, we have life insurance. Not to mention it’s a hefty one at that,” Yaala joked around.

“I’d rather the life insurance not be used even if it meant that I’ll be in a loss. I still have my parents and kids to take care of.” Quentin let out a smile.

“Look at that exemplary attitude of yours!” A few of them continued to joke around.

In the meantime, Yaala noticed that Clarissa’s face was getting paler. Worried, she frowned and asked, “Are you not feeling well? Why didn’t you get some rest?”

Clarissa feign a smile and answered, “No, I’m fine. It’s just a cold.”

“I’ll get my assistant to buy you some cold medicines later,” Yaala offered.

“Thank you, Ms. Zaha.” Clarissa accepted her kindness.

“What are you being so polite?”

Yaala was very fond of Clarissa. Although they were not super close, Yaala felt relaxed and comfortable being around Clarissa.

Not to mention that Clarissa was such a cute-looking girl with a down-to-earth personality.

After Jamie and Quentin left, Yaala took a seat beside Clarissa and glanced at her intently.

“Do you have something you want to talk about?” Yaala queried.

“What?” Clarissa was stupefied while Yaala was just smiling at her.

“Why do you sound so surprised? Anyone could tell that you were feeling down just by looking at you. People are just shy to approach you and ask you about it. I saw that you and Shermaine were chatting last night. Is this about her?” Yaala made a guess.

Clarissa shook her head and answered, “No, it’s about me.”

“Ah, I see. Nevertheless, Shermaine was in high spirits these few days. Did you notice that she’s been paying more attention to you?”

Clarissa was also perplexed by Shermaine’s behavior these past few days.

“Yes, but I don’t know what’s going on with her either,” Clarissa uttered.

It probably doesn’t concern Matthew, or else Shermaine wouldn’t be smiling now.

Clarissa was still trying to wrap her head around the reason behind Shermaine’s sudden behavioral change.

“She didn’t make things difficult for you right?” asked Yaala.

Clarissa shook her head before replying, “Ms. Zaha, if she did try to mess with me, I would have done something about it. You know that, right?”

“If she really did mess with you, she would’ve done so inconspicuously. That woman is quite cunning.”
