You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 337

Matthew must have found out what Avery did, hence her dismissal.

As for how he got to know of it, Clarissa reckoned that Mandy was probably behind it.

Although Clarissa felt helpless, she nevertheless felt thankful toward Mandy for being indignant on her behalf.

Matthew reacted lightheartedly to Clarissa’s answer, merely smiling placidly with his arms folded on the table.

“Clare, what do you mean that you guess? Are you unsure of how much I love you?”

Clarissa giggled. She walked across that wide expanse of a table. Bending over, she planted a passionate kiss on Matthew’s lips.

“All right, you’ve proved your point,” Matthew said with a laugh.

“I saw Avery when I was coming upstairs. She looked as if she got fired.”

“Who’s that?” Matthew asked curiously.

The moment the words left his mouth, however, it quickly dawned on him that the woman in question, Avery, was the employee who he had intended to fire that morning.

Even up to that point, he could not remember the name of the person he had fired.

Of course, Matthew was too clever to be forgetful with names. It was simply because Clarissa had shown signs of jealousy that he had pretended to have forgotten Avery’s name in order to appease Clarissa.

He had selectively chosen not to retain Avery’s name in his memory, to the delight of Clarissa.

“You know, the woman under your employ,” Clarissa reminded him with a smile. “Anyway, that doesn’t matter now. You don’t need to know her name.”

With that, she turned away and called Catherine to inform her about Mimi.

When the call got through, Clarissa heard Gloria’s voice on the other end and wondered if she was constantly by Catherine’s side.

She knew her Aunt Gloria well enough to know that she wouldn’t give up so easily.

Getting straight to the point, Clarissa said, “Mimi isn’t exactly innocent. She has taken her fair share of drugs, amongst other things. It is unreasonable for me to intervene to save someone who is guilty. Besides, I obviously do not have the authority to do so. It’d be for the best if you could stop pestering Grandma about this. If you keep bothering her, I’m afraid that even if I don’t have the power to save Mimi, I would do something to actually extend her stay in prison. And don’t try to guilt-trip me by saying that we’re family either. We are not related.”

Gloria was sobbing on the other end. However, Clarissa was firm in her belief that her warning would be heeded for a long time.

After the phone call, Clarissa lounged back against the couch, feeling rather tired.

“Bad news seems to come knocking one after another recently,” Clarissa complained to Matthew. “I have never been as busy as I am now dealing with nonsense like these.”

It was true. Clarissa had faced all sorts of unfortunate incidents upon her return to D City, especially as the festive season was fast approaching. All she had wanted to do was to have a good rest. Instead, she was plagued by an incessant torrent of problems.

Matthew sat next to Clarissa, pulling her close to him.

“Perhaps this isn’t all bad,” Matthew mused.

“What’s not all bad?” Clarissa glared at him fiercely.

“The fact that you are dealing with all of this before the festive season. After that, there would be nothing left to spoil your mood.”

“Good point,” Clarissa concurred. “It’s a good thing that these fiascos are happening before the festive season. I would strangle the troublemakers if anything else happens after that.”

With her head snuggled against Matthew’s chest as she ranted, Clarissa felt much better.

“During the festive season, besides going to Grandma’s place, all of our remaining time will be devoted to taking Damian out. I’m shutting off my phone as I’m sick of these people interrupting our vacation,” Clarissa said gloomily.

“You do that.” Matthew smiled warmly down at her.

Clarissa had received many invitations from various companies and media that she was affiliated with when the festive season was approaching.

Seated on the carpet with Damian who was quietly occupied with completing a jigsaw puzzle, Clarissa browsed through her stack of invitations.

She was unable to decide which event to attend. Finally, she resorted to asking for Yael’s advice.

Yael had picked out several which were compulsory for Clarissa to attend. As for the rest, her presence was not mandatory.

“I don’t want to attend even one. Is that possible?” Clarissa asked in despair.

Yael grinned, looking somewhat like a shark baring its teeth. “You could try if you’d like your new show to go up in flames. Of course, you could get your husband’s investment which will grant you the freedom of not having to attend anything or to curry the favor of any investors.”

Yael knew that that was something Clarissa wouldn’t be able to do. Hence, she couldn’t resist teasing the latter.

If Clarissa had to pick, she would rather attend the literary festival or the television drama award show. It would be easier for her to find an investor interested in her project as there would likely be more people she knew in those events.
