You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 335

Clarissa stayed in Matthew’s office for quite a while. By the time Matthew threw himself into work, Damian was still fast asleep.

Feeling rather bored, she decided to head downstairs to her studio instead of lingering around Matthew although the latter would appreciate her presence very much.

The elevator that she took stopped on one of the floors and Avery walked in. Clarissa put on a blank face and ignored her.

I can’t stop her from behaving the way she wants, but I can choose to let it go.

Though I pretend to get jealous in front of Matthew sometimes, I can’t deny the fact that there will always be various women surrounding him, including some very outstanding individuals.

From his former schoolmates to the group of talented staff that he has, and the long list of socialites in his circle, Avery is nothing compared to them.

Although Matthew was married, it was almost impossible to stop those women with ulterior motives from getting near him because he was such a great guy. Hence, Clarissa could only be vigilant about it and tried to be on her toes all the time. In the end, the success of their marriage would depend on the man’s character and integrity.

If Matthew wanted to cheat on Clarissa, she would not be able to find out.

Therefore, she was not bothered about Avery’s existence.

Meanwhile, Avery’s expression darkened at the sight of Clarissa. She felt so uncomfortable being around the latter.

I guess she must be scheming something. She’s probably better at this than Helen.

Clarissa did not even take a glance at Avery. Her eyes were glued to her phone, waiting for the elevator to go down.

Ring!

Clarissa lifted her head and strode out of the elevator.

Right then, Avery called out to her, “Ms. Quigley.”

Clarissa turned around, only to find Avery holding her bag tightly, her pale fingernails dug deep into the strap.

How strong is her grip?

Remaining emotionless, she asked, “What is it, Ms. Alston?”

“Ms. Quigley, I… I don’t have any ill intentions. Like all the majority of the women who have a crush on the president, I’ll only admire him from afar.”

Clarissa did not respond to her, neither did she show her any expression.

“Ms. Quigley, I think you can understand where I’m coming from. I’m not asking for anything. I was employed because of my capabilities and strengths. I didn’t rely on despicable means to attain any career opportunities.”

Clarissa remained silent.

“Ms. Quigley, I’d like to apologize for rejecting your request previously. I did that for my own sake, not because of work restrictions. As far as official business matters are concerned, your request will indeed not be approved by the management. I do uphold a high level of professionalism at work.”

Clarissa was perplexed at Avery’s sudden confession.

After her long sharing, Avery gazed at Clarissa, anticipating a response.

Clarissa cut to the chase, “Ms. Alston, why are you telling me all these?”

“I just want to express my stance and share my thoughts with you, Ms. Quigley.”

“Oh, okay. And then what? Are you hoping that I won’t take revenge on you by asking Matthew to fire you?”

Avery’s eyes glinted. Yet, she spoke with pride, “I don’t think that Mr. Tyson will ever fire a person hastily.”

“I see. What are you implying then?”

“I…”

Before Avery could defend herself, Clarissa interrupted her, “Ms. Alston, why did you tell me so much? Do you think that I’m a fool? Are you treating me like one?”

Clarissa’s tone was calm, but her words still managed to send a cold chill down Avery’s spine, making the latter’s face turn pale.

“Based on your expression, you must be thinking that a gorgeous woman like me has no brains. Thus, you approached me and babbled on. Firstly, you justified your actions by stating the mere fact that most women have a crush on my husband. But does that make you innocent or give you any right to carry on coveting other people’s husbands? Does it also mean that I should allow you to do so? Secondly, you indirectly praised yourself for scoring a job at Tyson Corporation. Are you trying to imply that you’re more intelligent than I am? Thirdly, you firmly asserted that you rejected my request on a professional ground. So, if I were to hold any grudges against you and take any act of revenge on you, I’d be seen as the ungracious and cruel one. Right?”

The color drained out of Avery’s face rapidly. She seemed a little scared and intimidated. Yet, her ego would not allow her to admit that Clarissa was right about her.

“Ms. Quigley…”

“Ms. Alston, I believe that everyone here knows I’m Matthew’s wife. But look at how pretentious you are, still addressing me as Ms. Quigley.” Clarissa spoke harshly.

Anyone without a hidden agenda would gladly call me Mrs. Tyson. Avery is indeed a smart girl, but she’s too smart for her own good, thinking that everyone else is a fool!

At that instant, Avery’s words fell dead on her lips.

Clarissa smirked coldly. Without saying a word, she turned away and left for her studio.
