You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 68

Clarissa did not falter at her exclamation. Instead, she lifted her head and said, “That’s none of your business.”

She did not deny nor pretend that the car key was not hers as there was no need to explain her personal life to Amanda.

Amanda was clearly not satisfied with Clarissa’s response.

The more Clarissa avoided her questions, the more she wanted to probe further.

“But I would love to take a look at your Mercedes-Benz S-Class! I can’t believe that you have been hiding such things from us! Is that your family car? Or is it a gift from a guy?”

In defense, Clarissa questioned back. “What makes you think that I can’t buy it myself?”

“You’re kidding me, right? Based on your meager salary? What more, you haven’t even gotten your paycheck yet.”

“I could have saved up for it from the salary of my previous job. Anyway, I still don’t think I need to explain any of that to you. Please excuse me as I need to head to the toilet.”

Clarissa brushed past Amanda and left the office.

By then, everyone else had already lost interest in their conversation.

Amanda was still unsatisfied; she wanted to flip through Clarissa’s bag to prove her point. However, it would be rude of her to do that, so she held it in.

Just as Clarissa wanted to return the key to Matthew, she received a text from him.

“Come up here!”

Clarissa quickly grabbed the car key and hid it in a file. After scanning through the whole office to make sure no one was there, she sprinted to the lift and headed to the top floor.

The lift door opened to reveal a figure standing there. It was Donnie. Her eyes widened in embarrassment.

She then smiled and followed him into the office. He left shortly after.

The first thing Clarissa did was to place the car key on Matthew’s desk.

“Alright, here is your car key. I’ll head back now.”

Clarissa was too shy to look straight at Matthew. Her heart was pounding furiously, and her face flushed pink with heat.

As she turned her body to leave, Matthew let out in his charming tone. “You’re leaving already?” He pouted.

He reached out his long legs and hooked Clarissa’s ankle to stop her. She puffed her cheeks and replied in a soft voice, “Yeah…”

“Clare,” Matthew called in an adoring tone.

Upon hearing her name being called in such a loving way, she felt a tingling sensation throughout her body. It was a pleasant feeling.

Clarissa caved in and turned back to face Matthew, who had his head resting on his hands, smiled coyly at her.

As she saw that, Clarissa’s face blushed red.

The corner of Matthew’s lips turned upwards.

“Come here!” Matthew prompted.

“Do you need something from me?”

“Yes.”

“What is it?”

“I want to kiss you.”

Clarissa bit her lower lip while blushing. She was like a pink rose – beautiful and sweet.

Matthew could not wait any longer. He stood up, walked towards her, lifted her head, and inched his lips toward hers.

“No…”

Her hands flew up to cover his lips just before their lips touched.

Clarissa rejected while she was still blushing. “Mr. Tyson, it’s still office hours. As the president, you should not carry out such inappropriate acts.”

Matthew’s face fell. He saw a glimpse of a sly smile flash through her innocent facade.

“Mr. Tyson, please continue to work hard for us. We all look up highly to you.”

Clarissa wanted to leave but was blocked by Matthew. As expected, he wanted to get something out of her before letting her leave.

Matthew could no longer hold in his desire and went in for a kiss.

After the kiss, Clarissa was panting hard.

Matthew smirked and bit her lower lip.

With his low and rasped voice, he warned in a teasing manner, “Stop staring at me, or you’ll be getting more than a kiss.”

Clarissa swiftly pushed Matthew away and stuck out her tongue at him.

“Bye!”

This time around, Matthew did not stop her. The thought of having such daily interactions with Clarissa at work got him energized.

Clarissa finally let out a sigh of relief after she managed to sneak back to her desk.

She felt like a thief – in fear of getting caught.
