You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 116

Clarissa only realized that her phone wasn’t working after quite some time.

Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be a problem that she didn’t reply to her friends’ greetings once and a while.

If Matthew called her, she wasn’t sure what she had to say to him. To be exact, she didn’t have anything to say to him.

Clarissa flashed Ellie a smile of relief.

“I know. Don’t worry because I didn’t take it to heart. However, I should really start working after spending much free time.”

“When will you leave?”

“I haven’t decided yet. It will probably be in two to three days after Yael and I wrapped up our job.”

Damon couldn’t help but ask, “Filming is rather interesting, right? Can I go with you?”

Clarissa said smilingly, “You can be there but not with me. Besides, you’ve to get Director Yates’s permission because he doesn’t like to see someone who is not involved in filming around. If Director Yates is pissed off, please don’t say that I let you in.”

Once Clarissa finished, Ellie kicked Damon and scolded, “Forget it. Clare has to be there for work. Why do you want to go with her and cause trouble? Alright, time to dismiss and go home.”

Ellie exchanged a glance with Damon as she spoke. Damon instantly understood that he didn’t have to follow Clarissa because Ellie was not worried about Clarissa now.

After going home alone, Clarissa cleaned herself up and began to organize her plan.

She had a video chat with Grandma and told Grandma that she had a break-up. Grandma didn’t dwell into it, probably because she knew that her granddaughter was upset about it.

“It’s not a big deal. Since you are such a good girl, it is his loss for not appreciating you. Besides, he’s rather old for you. You can definitely get a better and younger boyfriend next time.”

Clarissa laughed and replied, “Yes, great minds think alike. I’ll date another younger and more handsome man and bring him back to visit you.”

“Sure! You have to act faster!”

After ending the call, Clarissa contacted Hilary and asked to meet up with her.

Hilary seemed to have a comfortable life. Before they could even start chatting, she brought Clarissa to a beauty salon.

“Women must give the best treatment to ourselves, particularly you who look gorgeous. I mean, you’ve to count on your good looks to get a good man in the future. By the way, what are you working on lately? I haven’t asked you about it.”

“Oh, nothing much. I’m now writing and publishing articles from time to time.”

“Writing articles? How much money can you make by doing that? I advised you to get married as early as possible, but you didn’t listen to me. This time, you really have to heed my advice. By the way, Zach is planning to look for a good match for Yvonne. I can grab the chance to pick some good candidates for you. Since you’re so beautiful, I’m sure you can marry a successful man.”

“Sure, you can proceed with that.”

“Really?”

Hilary was surprised that Clarissa was willing to cooperate.

“Are you serious? You’re not lying, are you?”

Clarissa answered seriously, “I’m serious. However, I have to leave this place for some time. You can make the arrangements after I’ve returned.”

Clarissa understood that Hilary wouldn’t give up if she couldn’t introduce some men to her.

Hence, she decided to let Hilary fulfill her wish. Besides, she was determined not to accept anyone as her boyfriend anymore. Hilary would eventually lose her patience and stop introducing other men.

“It’s settled then. Don’t you lie to me!”

“Sure, I won’t lie to you. But will Yvonne be angry?”

“How can she be angry? I tell you what, she is now very obedient, though it might only be an act. I think she learned the lesson last time because Zach was really pissed off. Her grandma and relatives also educated her. As such, she is obedient now ever since she returned.”

“Do you trust her?”

Clarissa definitely didn’t believe that she changed. After all, she understood that a leopard couldn’t change its spots.

Hilary smiled as she stared at her own face, which looked gorgeous after the facial.

“It doesn’t matter if I believe her or not. I mean, I can put up with her as long as she doesn’t cause trouble. Besides, I’m not afraid of her.”

“Anyway, you should be cautious.”

“Don’t worry. I’m not an idiot. Also, I grabbed this chance to get a lot of things for Jonathan…”

Even though she stopped short of telling her, Clarissa knew what she was getting at.

Meanwhile, Hilary was apparently in a good mood and went shopping with Clarissa.

At night, they went to a restaurant for dinner. Deep in Hilary’s heart, she hoped to compensate Clarissa as she didn’t do much for Clarissa as her mother. Nonetheless, Clarissa wasn’t touched by it.

“This is a high-end restaurant. I bring you here to get some new experience. You haven’t been to such a high-end restaurant, have you? Don’t be afraid. Hold your head high and be confident. I’ll bring you to such places more often. Besides, I’ll bring you to various high-end banquets and introduce you to the upper class. When you eventually become well-known in the circle, I’m sure you can marry an even more successful man than me. When you’ve time, I’ll bring you to take part in courses about etiquette and physique…”

Clarissa gave her a perfunctory nod. Deep in her heart, she only wished to finish the food as soon as possible and leave.

Although she had only been with Hilary from afternoon till now, Clarissa felt that she had been pushed to her limits.

It was a waste of time talking to Hilary. Since Hilary was only interested in marrying into a wealthy family, Clarissa could hardly bear with her any longer.

When they finally finished the meal and were ready to go, Hilary wanted to touch up her makeup in the ladies’ room.

Clarissa had no choice but to wait for her outside.

“Ms. Quigley? Hehe… what a coincidence to meet you here.”

Clarissa was startled to see Shermaine. Since there wasn’t anyone around her, Clarissa immediately calmed herself down.

“Ms. Smallwood, it’s a coincidence indeed. How do you feel now?”
