You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 193

Clarissa didn’t give a damn about the look Yvonne had on her face or even how much Yvonne hated her guts. She merely put her phone away and left the lounge without a word.

She heard a hysterical, piercing screech from behind her the moment she left, followed by plenty of cursing.

As Clarissa paused briefly, Gina asked, “Do I need to shut them up for you?”

Clarissa smiled at Gina’s impassive face. “You’re adorable.”

Gina raised an eyebrow.

“I don’t think that word suits me, ma’am.”

Clarissa merely chuckled. “Well, you’re just unaware of how cute you are. Either way, you’re adorable.”

As the pair made their way out, they suddenly encountered a familiar face who they were least expecting to see in a place like this.

“Mimi!”

Clarissa observed how Mimi was hugged by a man. She was also surrounded by plenty of other people presumably acquaintances, or friends of hers. Clarissa then frowned as she walked towards the group.

When Mimi finally noticed Clarissa, a hint of guilt flashed in her eyes. She smiled and greeted the other woman. “Clare! Fancy seeing you here!”

Clarissa snorted coldly. “Fancy seeing you here as well. Dare I ask what you’re doing in a place like this?”

“Oh, is that Mimi’s rich sister? You’re so beautiful!”

The girl next to Mimi was aware that Mimi had a very affluent sister. She had reached that conclusion when she spied Mimi being dropped off at acting boot camp in a luxury car. However, she had not expected Clarissa to be this beautiful in person.

Initially, everyone else had brushed Mimi off, thinking she was making up stories. As it turned out, she was telling the truth after all.

“Wow, Mimi! Your sister looks lovely!” With a grin at Clarissa, the girl continued. “We’re all Mimi’s friends! Why don’t you hang out with us?”

The words of affirmation immediately boosted Mimi’s ego. She hurriedly walked over to Clarissa and held her hand as if the two were the closest of friends.

“A few of my friends wanted to hang out. If I didn’t say yes, then it would seem quite stand-offish, no? Why don’t you join us too? I’m assuming that’s why you’re here.”

Clarissa immediately yanked her arm away and glared at Mimi. She was not going to entertain such a shameless display.

“I put together your tuition fees, dear. Do you think you’ll be admitted to the film academy by gallivanting like this? Will you make it big and pay me back later?”

Mimi’s expression darkened in the light of Clarissa’s ridicule.

She lowered her voice and hissed. “I only came out this one time, and you happened to run into me. Is that really a problem? I’ve been working my a** off getting to classes on time, mind you. Cut me some slack.”

“You’d better be.”

Of course, Clarissa did not believe a word she said.

“Are you leaving? Because I am.”

“Don’t be like that, Clare. Since you’re here, why don’t you loosen up and have some fun?”

Clarissa snorted. “I’m certainly not as free as you are.”

Having said that, Clarissa and Gina left without giving Mimi a chance to say anything else. Mimi glanced at their retreating figures and scowled but quickly forced a smile before facing her friends. “She said she’s busy, you guys. Sorry about that.”

“Oh, it comes as no surprise, Mimi. But she’s drop-dead gorgeous! I think she would be the next big hit in showbiz. Heck, that that other lady next to her, is that a bodyguard? Isn’t she awesome!”

The few of them chatted excitedly amongst each other, but the man who was closest to Mimi suddenly placed his arm around her and asked, “Is your sister interested in acting?”

“Leo, do you mean…”

Mimi was surprised. Just when she had finally managed to get up close to a deputy director, Clarissa managed to steal her thunder. Mimi was quite unhappy at the prospect.

“What’s with that look? I can’t ask?”

Mimi hurriedly forced a grin as she looked Leo in the eye. “I meant that I do think it’s a waste of her good looks. But she’s well-off and dislikes acting. I doubt she’d be interested.”

“Why wouldn’t she be interested? It’s hard to say. How about this? Why don’t you find an opportunity to set up a meeting between us? Who knows, she might actually be a potential actress who’s just looking to catch her big break. I’ve got a good feeling about her.”

Mimi was very jealous, but a nudge from one of her classmates snapped her out of her thoughts. She nodded quickly.

“Okay, I’ll ask her when I can.”

After that, the whole bunch decided to go about and have fun. Just then, she was pulled aside by the same classmate who whispered, “Don’t be jealous, Mimi. Your sister is so beautiful that we can’t even compare. However, Leo is someone with the necessary connections. I’d stick close to him and butter him up a little. It’ll only benefit you in the future if you’re on his good side.”

Mimi nodded. She had the same sentiment even without the reminder from her classmate.

Of course, there was more to this. She could just introduce Clarissa to Leo and have that fall apart spectacularly. That would be the icing on the cake.

Today’s encounter was quite humiliating to Yvonne. After a stern warning to her friends about not saying a word regarding today’s encounter, she hurried home.

However, her mood plummeted even more when she entered the house to find Hilary humming to herself.

She stepped forward impulsively, as if she wanted to slap the cheerfulness out of Hilary but stopped short. Yvonne suddenly recalled the photograph that Clarissa had.

It took quite some effort for Yvonne to contain her emotions, but she managed. The house felt stifling to her all of a sudden. She then turned on her heel and left to see if she could find someone to comfort her.

Yvonne decided to seek out Luke. After a quick romp, she suddenly began to cry.
