You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 255

Three years ago, Clarissa was the source of envy of countless women.

However, her virality also vanished in the same year. The official tweet of Tyson Corporation that confirmed her identity as Matthew’s fiancée was still on Twitter, but there was no more news about it after that.

Some said that Matthew had always kept a low profile, so even if they were married, he would not make an official announcement about it. Nevertheless, the majority speculated that she had broken up with him, and her dream to marry into the rich was broken. In short, no one knew for sure what had happened. There were many rumors and gossips about it, but there was no official news. Thus, their relationship remained a mystery to the public.

As time passed, most people no longer remembered the things that happened between Clarissa and the president of Tyson Corporation.

Clarissa and Yaala left the club and sat in the lobby to chat for a while.

“How long will you be here in D City?” Yaala asked, tilting her head.

Clarissa looked at her and replied, “Two days.”

“So short?” Yaala was crestfallen. “I was thinking of having a drink with you after I finish my work. I’ve been dog-tired recently. Shooting a movie every year has taken a toll on me. I really need to take a break and have a vacation, but I need a buddy to travel with me. So do you want to join me? Your schedule is flexible, after all. You can also take the time to relax and perhaps have a romantic encounter abroad.”

Clarissa burst into laughter. “I would love to go, but I can’t be away from my family for too long.”

“Why not?”

Her question threw Clarissa off, but she regained her composure quickly and smiled, shaking her head. “My grandmother is not in good health. Besides…”

Clarissa did not finish her sentence as her voice tapered off.

Yaala glanced at her and did not probe further. “Okay. Tell me whenever you need a travel buddy. If I have the time, I’ll go with you.”

Clarissa nodded and heaved a deep sigh. “Sure. It’s been a long time since I last had a vacation. Oh, how I miss those days!”

Her sigh felt a little off to Yaala, but before she could say anything, Clarissa had changed the topic.

They made small talk as they waited for Yaala’s chauffeur to arrive, and Clarissa was grateful that she did not inquire about what happened between her and Matthew in the past three years.

She knew that the primary reason Yaala befriended her back then was due to her relationship with Matthew, but her action was understandable. After all, as a celebrity, it was important to make connections through networking in the entertainment industry. But gradually, most of Clarissa’s so-called friends ended up distancing themselves from her, so she considered the ones who remained by her side as her true friends. Even without her relationship with Matthew, she was still one of the most reputable screenwriters and was highly regarded by plenty of actors and directors. Therefore, many people regretted not maintaining their connection with her.

Just then, a car arrived at the entrance. Yaala stood up, beckoning her. “Let’s go. The car is here. I’ll send you back to the hotel.”

Clarissa rose to her feet and followed after her. As they were about to head out, a few people came in and brushed past them. Right then, Clarissa and Yaala overheard their conversation.

“Are you saying that Mr. Tyson of Tyson Corporation is going to come too?”

“Yeah. That was why I asked to come here today. Later, when you see Mr. Tyson, you must do everything you can to attract him, okay? Even if it’s just a fling, I’m sure you can get a lot of benefits from him.”

“I understand. Thanks!”

“That’s right. I heard that he likes women who are talented. Aren’t you highly educated? Perhaps you can strike up a conversation with him easily.”

The voices of those people then drifted away. Concerned, Yaala took a look at Clarissa’s expression and found that she remained calm and poised as if she did not hear their conversation just now. Hence, Yaala kept quiet and continued her way to the car.

When Clarissa went back to her room in the hotel, she wanted to call home but realized it was already late in the night.

Therefore, she sent a message to Jenny via WhatsApp. After she got the latter’s reply, saying that everything was fine back home, she went to bed with peace of mind.

The next day, Clarissa went to the studio with Mandy. While the studio remained the same at Tyson Corporation, Mandy was no longer a lowly editorial assistant. Meanwhile, Yael was still the one who managed everything. Besides, now that Clarissa’s workload and income had increased, there were more staff members in their team now.

Although Clarissa was their boss, she seldom showed up in the studio. Despite that, many were excited to see their pretty, amicable boss in the office.

After the meeting hosted by Yael, Clarissa finally had the time to speak to her privately.

“Many companies are interested in the historical film script, and I’ve chosen the one that gave the best offer. Put down your signature here, and the contract will be sealed.” Yael pushed the contract over to Clarissa for her to look through.

After she finished flipping it through, she looked up at Yael. Everything was to her satisfaction, except that the company was a subsidiary of Tyson Corporation.

Yael saw the look on her and arched her eyebrows. “Yes? Any problem?”

It was obvious that she was feigning ignorance.

As Clarissa pondered over it, Yael continued, “It’s a good deal. You’d have to be a fool not to sign it.”

Clarissa eventually yielded and shook her head, smiling. “Okay, I’ll sign it.”

“Good, so don’t act as if you’re forced to sign it. We’ll earn a lot from this contract. Besides, I know your situation, alright? There’s no one else in here, so drop your act!”

Clarissa merely grinned in response. Besides being the second-in-command in the studio, Yael was also her lawyer. Not only was she in charge of handling Clarissa’s documents, but she was also well aware of her personal matters.
