You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 125

Matthew felt his heart sank into despair.

His face clouded over, but he refused to let her go.

He let out a ragged breath. “Clare, that will never happen again.”

Alas, Clarissa ignored and refused to believe him.

She started struggling to free herself again. “Let me go. I said, let me go!” She screamed. “I don’t want to see you! What do you want from me?”

Matthew couldn’t believe how stubborn she was.

He had to cave in and give her a ride back home.

Clarissa proceeded to lock him outside the minute she reached home.

Left outside alone, Matthew leaned against the wall and lit up a cigarette in frustration.

Meanwhile, Clarissa finally quietened down in her house. She sprawled on the sofa lazily and started sobbing without a sound. As her mind was in a stupor, she gradually fell asleep in a battered heap.

The next morning, naturally, Clarissa woke up with a stiff neck. Her nose was blocked, and she was suffering from a splitting headache from last night’s events.

After all, she had drunk her heart out, caught a cold, and fell asleep on the sofa accidentally. She sat up unwillingly and prepared a heat pack for herself while cursing Matthew inwardly. It was all his fault!

She cursed him from head to toe silently before feeling much better.

As Clarissa was lazy to prepare lunch, she decided to order delivery food. Soon, her delivery food was here.

“Ms. Quigley, your food is here.”

Hesitantly, Clarissa took the delivery from him. It wasn’t until she had closed the door that she realized something. “Wait. I haven’t even ordered anything yet!”

Confused, she glanced at her phone and confirmed that she hadn’t placed her order.

The food delivery she had just received was packed nicely with Skylight Restaurant’s logo on it.

Clarissa’s lips twitched in annoyance. It was clear who had placed this order for her.

Right then, her phone rang with a call from an unknown number. After she blocked Matthew’s number, he’d use different numbers to call her every time.

As Clarissa was afraid of missing out on other calls, she had to answer every single time.

“Who is it?” she demanded irritatedly.

Matthew’s gentle voice sounded over the phone. “Clare, I’ve ordered your favorite dishes. I just want to confirm that you’ve received the delivery.”

“What delivery?”

“You didn’t receive anything? I’ll ask them to make another delivery.”

Clarissa was no match for him.

She replied unhappily, “Stop teasing me. I received the delivery. Bye!”

After cutting the line, Clarissa wolfed down the food like the wimp she was. She couldn’t waste the food, could she?

For the next few days, as Clarissa remained at home, she received the same treatment from the man.

By then, she couldn’t help but suspect that Matthew was keeping an eye on her.

Even so, she refused to talk to him or give him a call. He’s that patient, huh? Let’s see who gives in first.

The first one to give up will be the loser in the game.

After returning from the film studio, Justin met up with Clarissa.

Besides him, Yaala, Quentin, the assistant director, and the screenwriter joined them as well.

It wasn’t easy for everyone to gather, so Clarissa was excited.

“Director Yates, can I come to visit during the post-production stage?”

Clarissa was interested in film production, including post-production.

“Of course. You can come anytime.”

Quentin joked, “Director Yates, you obviously favor Clarissa over us!”

Yaala knew the reason behind this. “He’s favoring talent. Clarissa, are you seriously planning to be a director yourself? You don’t have to worry about the script. Of course, you can assemble a team yourself and learn everything from Director Yates. When you’ve made up your mind, remember to inform me!”

“Ms. Zaha, you made it seem really easy. It’s too difficult for me. I’m just being curious. Perhaps I can write a novel about directing a film in the near future. Anything can be writing material for me. I’m just an author, nothing else.”

Clarissa wasn’t about to venture into the directing business. She was just curious.
