You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 413

Shermaine was aware that her movie wasn’t doing very well. In contrast, the box office for Clarissa’s movie was skyrocketing, causing her to be filled with frustration.

Her original intention was to infuriate Clarissa. Before her movie was screened, the media was already placing both movies in comparison. With Shermaine’s help, they managed to dig out details of their messy relationship from the past.

Feeling desperate, Shermaine tried all ways to garner the public’s attention. The content no longer mattered.

Since she couldn’t get Gary to kill Clarissa’s baby, she figured she could cause a miscarriage by angering her instead.

Although it wasn’t a realistic idea, Shermaine didn’t care. All she wanted to do was mess with Clarissa.

Unfortunately, Clarissa didn’t respond at all. It felt as if she didn’t care about whatever Shermaine did.

Consequently, Shermaine felt that her plan had backfired and she was the one who ended up enraged.

When the movie’s box office receipts kept increasing, and the pregnant Clarissa was spotted at the cinema with an attentive Matthew, Shermaine’s fury intensified further.

In front of others, Shermaine still kept up her humble façade. But in private, she was already filled with jealous rage.

“Ms. Smallwood, the box office receipts for Clarissa & Matthew has exceeded two hundred million. Also, these are the latest reviews…”

When the assistant saw Shermaine’s gloomy expression, she didn’t dare say much as she handed the documents to Shermaine.

Despite the fact that Shermaine was cordial to everyone including her, the assistant could feel the darkness in Shermaine when she wasn’t smiling. Even when she did, the assistant could feel that it wasn’t sincere.

When she brought up her thoughts with her other colleagues, they felt that she was just imagining things.

Nevertheless, she never did dare make eye contact with Shermaine or even stay a second longer with her.

When the assistant turned to leave, Shermaine called out to her, “Wait a moment.”

The assistant trembled for a second before turning around to be greeted with a smile from Shermaine.

“I’m sorry. I’m not in a good mood today. Did I scare you?”

“No, Ms. Smallwood.”

“I’m sure you’re aware that our movie has made a loss. So, I can barely smile.”

Smiling wryly, the assistant was stumped as she didn’t know what to say.

“Alright now, off you go.”

Only then did the assistant heave a sigh of relief and quickly left the office.

Looking out her window, Shermaine couldn’t help but laugh when she saw her assistant looking on edge despite having returned to her seat.

The next day, when Shermaine came into the office, the assistant had gone back to her hometown for something urgent.

“Ms. Smallwood, your assistant just called and said that she has to take urgent leave because someone in the family is sick. But later on, she told me that she wants to quit. I’m sorry for the way she’s behaving. It’s very unbecoming of her…”

Shermaine shook her head. “I understand. Everyone has their own problems. I’ll just get a new assistant instead. Anyway, since her family is facing trouble, why don’t you see how you can help her? Let’s transfer an additional month’s salary into her card.”

“Ms. Smallwood, you’re really generous.”

“It’s nothing. Now, get back to work…”

When Shermaine returned to her office and closed the door, she could still hear her subordinates singing her praises.

“Ms. Smallwood is both kind and considerate. She has never treated any of her subordinates badly. I wonder why her assistant quit. What a foolish girl…”

“She has something urgent after all. But, losing a wonderful boss like Ms. Smallwood is her loss.”

“That’s true. This is the best place I have ever worked in. Ms. Smallwood is the best.”

Despite the comments being mostly flattery, Shermaine still enjoyed hearing them.

She loved it when they acknowledged her as a righteous person and praised her for it.

The moment she took a seat, Shermaine received a call.

“Hey Babe, did you miss me?”

Closing the blinds, Shermaine turned and entered her break room. She whispered, “I have no time to miss you.”

“Tsk. You really are heartless. Babe, I have just disposed of your assistant. Is this how you thank me?”

“Get straight to the point, or I’m ending the call.”

“Doesn’t missing you count? Tonight, I’ll see you at the usual place.”

Shermaine wanted to turn him down but changed her mind at the last minute.

That night, the moment Shermaine entered their usual joint, she was pinned against the door by Gary. There, they made love passionately.

After that, they took a shower and continued in bed.

Once their session ended, Shermaine leaned on the headboard, sharing a smoke with Gary. Both of them just lay there in silence.

After a while, Shermaine remarked, “You told me that you would exact revenge on my behalf. Why haven’t you done anything over the last few months? Have you forgotten about it?”

Laughing, Gary hugged Shermaine as he continued to fondle her body.
