You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 181

Taking a break from work turned out to be good for Clarissa.

Those in the studio were hard at work. Since the weather was getting colder, she invited them out for barbeque.

Gathering with friends and colleagues for a barbeque on a cold day warmed everyone from the inside out.

“Clarissa, let’s have a barbeque for all our company dinners from now on. It’s not only affordable but satisfying as well.”

“That’s a good idea! We’ll give out vouchers for barbeque restaurants at the end of the year.”

Feeling Mandy stiffen, Clarissa cracked up. “I was just joking. Even though I’m not the big boss, I’m not such a cheapskate.”

“All hail, Clarissa!” Mandy cheered, but Christian and Rocky maintained their cool.

“By the way, I heard that we might be invited to Tyson Corporation’s annual dinner at the end of the year because we’re also located on the top floor of this building.”

Clarissa blinked in surprise. “Really? I had no idea!”

“Clarissa, I heard that there are many young and talented men in Tyson Corporation. Look at me. I’m single and pretty. All I’m lacking is a suitable opportunity. Clarissa, my dear Clarissa…”

From Mandy’s coquettish tone and the way she was drawing out her words, her objective was very obvious.

She tugged on Clarissa’s arm relentlessly, causing the latter to give up eating entirely.

In the end, she could only agree to Mandy’s request, to which the latter excitedly thanked her.

That night, everyone ate their fill and also had some drinks to liven the mood a little bit.

After they were done with their meal, they walked out together. Mandy joked around with Clarissa, both of them gently pushing each other back and forth while giggling.

Mandy shuddered violently just then. Clarissa couldn’t help but chide her, “Why are you only wearing a thin sweater on such a cold day? Are you choosing fashion over function?”

With that, she draped her own coat over Mandy’s shoulders.

“I’m fine, Clarissa.”

“You’re half a second away from becoming an ice block. My ride’s here, so I don’t need the coat anymore. You guys should quickly go home.”

Clarissa pushed Mandy and the rest away. Christian and Rocky bid her goodbye before parting ways as well.

Just as Clarissa hopped into the car, her phone rang.

She picked it up unhurriedly and slurred, “Uncle Matthew? Mm, I’m in the car heading back now… Hehe. Miss me already? But it’s too bad I don’t miss you…”

Her giggles drifted across the line; it was apparent that she was tipsy.

Matthew chuckled amusedly. “How much did you drink, Clare?”

“I didn’t drink!”

“Oh, is that so? Alright, I believe you.”

“Hehe… Actually, I did drink a little bit, but I’m not drunk at all. See, I even know that I’m talking to you, Mr. Tyson. Is there anything else I can do for you, Mr. Tyson? Do you need a blanket? Or would you like a drink?”

Matthew realized that she was mimicking the flight attendant that kept harassing him on their flight that time.

She still remembers this? In fact, it seems like she remembers it very clearly. What a jealous woman indeed.

Matthew shook his head in fond exasperation.

“Be a good girl, Clare. Mr. Tyson will be waiting for you to come home to serve him personally.”

“Alright, Mr. Tyson. Wait right there. I’ll definitely serve you well.”

She had said the last three words through gritted teeth.

Evidently, her definition of serving him was vastly different from his.

Matthew’s deep chuckle caused a pleasant shiver to run down Clarissa’s spine.

Suddenly, another call came in. Seeing that it was Rocky, she answered it in confusion.

“What?”

Her face paled as she abruptly straightened in her seat. “Okay. Wait for me. I’ll go there right now.”

“Mr. Davis, head to the hospital right away.”

Kyle immediately made a U-turn and drove toward the hospital. Meanwhile, Clarissa informed Matthew about the change of plans.

“I’m going to the hospital now. Something’s happened to Mandy. Thank God Rocky saw it. I don’t know the specifics. I’ll tell you more when I’m there.”

As soon as Clarissa ended the call, Matthew swiftly got up to leave.

At the hospital, upon spotting Clarissa, Rocky ran a hand down his face before explaining, “Mandy is still inside. She suffered a head injury and also some other injuries to her body. Luckily, I helped to hold on to her keys because of how forgetful she gets. I had just turned back to go look for her, but then I saw…” he trailed off and clenched his fists. “Those b*stards!”

Irate, Rocky punched the wall hard.

Clarissa’s heart plummeted. “And Mandy. Did they-”

“They didn’t manage to. Thank God I went back. Thank God…”
