You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 329

Clarissa had never met someone as shameless as Lucas.

The moment he changed his mind and turned to approach her, her heart sank into deep desperation.

Her face paled in fright, but she forced herself to act calm.

“Lucas, if this got out, it would do no good to both of us. If you stop now and leave me unharmed, I won’t do anything to you. But if you go through with this, even if my reputation is ruined, do you think my husband will let you go? Turn and leave now. I’ll turn a blind eye to this. However, if you assault me, I’ll make sure you’ll pay dearly for it. Think about it yourself. Do you choose to believe my words or choose to be a dead man?”

Lucas was still smiling, but he was obviously starting to have second thoughts.

“Ms. Quigley, we both know there’s a third option. We can both enjoy the moment and none will be the wiser the moment we walk out of this room. I’m a good-looking man, and I have good skills as well. Ms. Quigley, don’t you want to have a try? I bet you must be bored with your lavish life. Or else you wouldn’t have become a screenwriter, right? You must be looking for some extra entertainment within the crew. So let me help you with that.”

Lucas talked as if he could read Clarissa’s mind, but the latter just wanted to give him a slap in the face.

“No, thanks.”

Needless to say, one-night-stands were extremely common in showbiz, and Lucas must have encountered it endless times. However, this time, he completely misinterpreted Clarissa’s mind.

He stalked toward Clarissa. Her perfect face appeared to be more attractive with those cold-looking eyes. At that moment, he could no longer resist the desire to conquer a woman with such quality.

I bet she’ll submit to me once I f*ck her. Women are all the same, after all. They may deny it but their hearts actually crave for this. The case is especially true for women that look tough on the outside.

Noticing the resolve in Lucas’s gaze, Clarissa realized her persuasion had failed. As Lucas took another step toward her, she whipped around and started running toward the door. Alas, there was no way she could outrun a fit man. Just before her hand could reach the doorknob, Lucas had pinned her against the door and started to molest her.

Right at that very moment, someone knocked on the door heavily.

“Ms. Quigley, open the door. Are you alright? Ms. Quigley…”

It was Hilda. She was whispering for fear of disturbing the others. Startled by the voice, Lucas was stunned place while Clarissa hurriedly opened the door. She jumped into Hilda’s embrace before bursting into tears.

Hilda darted a wary glance at Lucas, who was still inside the room, looking extremely awkward.

“Ms. Quigley, are you okay?” She asked, worry evident in her tone.

After a few moments, Clarissa managed to recollect herself, and she glared coldly at Lucas. By that time, Lucas had also regained control of his expression as he put on a fake smile.

“Ms. Quigley, I’m sorry for bothering you so late at night. I really benefited a lot from your advice on the character. Thanks so much. Well, I’d better leave now.”

With that, Lucas stepped out of the room and walked past the two ladies.

Just as he passed, he added, “Ms. Quigley, I really had a good time discussing with you. I hope you feel the same.”

After Lucas had disappeared from their sight, Clarissa wandered back to the room before her legs gave out, and she slumped to the floor.

“Ms. Quigley, are you alright? What did that b*stard do to you?”

After catching her breath for a few seconds, Clarissa said with a trembling voice. “Thank the heavens you’re here in time.”

“Mr. Tyson was the one who called me and asked me to come…”

“I see…”

Hearing that, Clarissa remembered that she was in the middle of a video call with Matthew when Lucas appeared.

She rushed to her phone and saw that Matthew had not hung up, but his background had changed.

“Hubby, I’m fine now. Where are you?”

Even though Matthew looked as calm as ever, there was a dangerous aura emanating from his low voice.

“Wait in the room and let Hilda accompany you. Don’t go anywhere before I arrive.”

Upon saying that, he ended the call.

Clarissa felt a chill in her heart, for she knew that this time, Matthew was pissed for real.

At the same time, she felt safe and relieved, knowing that Matthew was on his way here.

In the past, when they hadn’t gotten together yet, he would always rush to her side whenever she was in trouble.

It seemed that nothing had changed.

After Clarissa hung up the phone, Hilda started to express guiltily, “I’m sorry, Ms. Quigley. I actually ran into Lucas when I was on my way back to my room. I should have guessed his intentions then. Please, forgive me for my lack of thoughts.”

Clarissa shook her head right away. “It’s not your fault. Who’d have thought he would dare to do this?”

“I’ve read from a lot of gossip forums lately, which mentioned that a young idol was doing pillow business. There are rumors that he got into showbiz with help from those rich women and even rich men. I didn’t believe it when I first read them. But now that I think about it, the young idol mentioned must have been Lucas. I can’t believe he had the audacity to come after you! Isn’t he afraid that you would end his career?”
