You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 56

This counts as sexual harassment, right?

Clarissa flinched and tried to create some distance with the man, but a short while later, Matthew moved closer to her surreptitiously before rubbing himself against her nonchalantly.

Ding!

The elevator stopped, signaling Clarissa’s escape. Promptly, she hopped out of the elevator without acknowledging anyone.

What she did was definitely not a model employee behavior.

Not only did she not greet Mr. Tyson when she came into the elevator, but she also slipped away like she had seen a ghost when she left, the few managers thought to themselves as they observed the woman’s action.

But… What is Mr. Tyson trying to do just now?

Gotta admit though, that girl looked quite pretty!

Clarissa could not be bothered by what other people thought of her. When she rushed back to the office, she still looked dazed and petrified.

“What’s wrong, Clarissa? Were you chased by a ghost?”

Amanda leaned against Clarissa’s desk with a coffee mug in her hand with a gleeful expression on her face.

Clarissa smirked. “It was something scarier than a ghost. I was in the elevator together with Mr. Tyson. Talk about terrifying!”

“What? Mr. Tyson?”

Everyone’s ears perked up when they heard Clarissa’s words.

She then remarked out loud deliberately, “Yeah, it was such a coincidence. If it wasn’t for Ms. Amanda who asked me to send in the document, I would not have been so lucky. Who would have thought that I’d be able to meet Mr. Tyson himself just a few days working in this company? Ms. Amanda, I should really thank you!”

Amanda’s face fell a little with jealousy.

However, she suddenly laughed before saying, “Wow, you are really lucky, Clarissa. However, doesn’t Mr. Tyson normally use his private elevator? How could you have run into him like that?”

“I don’t know. Apart from him, there was a group of senior management in there as well. It seemed like they were headed for a meeting. Ms. Amanda, if you want to meet Mr. Tyson as well, you should go and try your luck. Who knows, you could just run into him too.”

Amanda sneered, “I’m not interested at all.”

With that, she sashayed away from Clarissa’s desk.

However, a short while later, a certain someone could be seen leaving the office with a document in hand.

Because of Clarissa’s words, the colleagues who wanted to try their luck all went in and out, practically exhausting the elevator.

Clarissa was laughing silently to herself.

In the end, nobody saw Mr. Tyson again. Unwittingly, they turned to Clarissa with disappointment in their eyes,

Before they finished work for the day, Joyce suddenly announced a dinner gathering for the office.

Clarissa thought it would not involve her. But she was dragged by Amanda to the gathering too.

She thought that this was a good way to get to know her colleagues, so she did not reject the offer. She was quite curious to see how her colleagues interacted with one another after work.

She followed Amanda and got into another colleague’s car, heading toward the place where they decided to have their dinner gathering.

“Clarissa just joined us, so this can be considered a belated welcome party. Well, Clarissa, welcome to our team!”

Joyce led the celebration and everyone echoed their welcomes. Clarissa felt quite moved by the atmosphere.

However, her touching moment ended after what happened next.

Amanda smiled. “Clarissa, you should show some response to all of us seniors welcoming you to our team, right?”

Clarissa took another bite of her food. “What kind of response?”

“Come on, you are not making your senior colleagues pay for this meal, are you? If so, you are severely mistaken. Let me tell you, we have all experienced this. You should treat us to this meal to show us your generosity. This will help strengthen our relationships, and people won’t think of you as a stingy person, understand?”

Clarissa thought for a while and replied, “I see.”

Amanda smiled and suddenly stood up before announcing, “Hello my dearest colleagues, Clarissa says that she is buying our dinner tonight. So, just order whatever you want. Look at our Clarissa, isn’t she pretty and generous at the same time?”

While a few of them cheered out loud, Joyce and the rest glanced at Clarissa silently.

Clarissa smiled awkwardly while Amanda and a few other colleagues went all out with their orders.

“Ooh, lobsters are good. We can all have one each, and it’d be quite enough. Haha… Clarissa, the lobsters here are amazing, and it would be a complete waste to not have them while we are here. Waiter, one lobster for each of us please…”

Just when Clarissa was still rather taken aback, Joyce spoke up, “Amanda, I think you’ve crossed the line!”

Amanda smiled awkwardly and replied, “Don’t worry Ms. Joyce, Clarissa will be having some too.”

She nudged Clarissa, but Clarissa remained silent. Even though she did not know how big the lobsters were, their expressions told her that they were definitely not cheap.

Although she had the capability to pay for it, it doesn’t mean that she would allow people like Amanda to bully her into spending this money.

“Alright, let’s not order the lobster. We will add on other dishes later if we really need to.”

Since Joyce had spoken up, the rest did not say anything else. Clarissa heaved a sigh of relief.

When it was time to pay the bill, she took the opportunity to ask about the price of the lobsters. When she heard it, she had the urge to strangle Amanda.

Just as she was gritting her teeth, her phone rang. It was another video call.

Clarissa hung up. Her heart thumped when she saw the time.

Oh no!

I forgot to cook dinner for Matthew.
