You’ll Fall for Me, Today or Tomorrow novel Chapter 76

As expected, Clarissa called Jane about terminating the contract not long after that. Even if Jane had proposed more favorable terms, Clarissa was determined to quit.

At the end of the conversation, no other words were said.

Clarissa put down the phone and sighed softly.

Meanwhile, Ellie popped a grape into her mouth after a round of video games.

“Why do you worry so much? You’re still so young. Aren’t you relieved that you’ve terminated your contract?”

“Well, It just feels wrong to leave after working there for so long. Besides, I haven’t even thought of my next workplace when Ms. White asked.”

“Why don’t you set up your own studio instead?”

“But I find it troublesome to promote and sell the copyrights myself.”

Ellie thought for a while and suggested, “You can easily find yourself a manager to take care of it while you are responsible for writing.”

Clarissa smiled but was stuffed with grapes by Ellie. “Don’t eat it yet; let me take a picture.”

She came for Ellie’s new product photoshoot today, but that girl took a candid shot of her biting a grape instead.

Clarissa leaned over to take a look. “What is this? I look horrible.”

Ellie replied, “What do you know? You look cute and kinda sexy like this. Well, I’m using it anyway.”

“Really?” After staring at the picture that Ellie sent her, she still couldn’t understand why her friend said that.

After the photoshoot session, Ellie complained, “You haven’t told me where you moved to! I couldn’t find you when I went there.”

Although Clarissa felt awkward when she recalled that matter, she had already come up with an excuse.

“Actually, I’m staying at Tyson Corporation’s apartment.”

“What?” Ellie was shocked.

Clarissa blushed. “I met Uncle Matthew when I was working at Tyson Corporation. He took care of me since you’re my friend and even let me move into the apartment. Also, I wanted to avoid my mom, so I moved there.”

“Oh, I see. Why are you shy about it? Uncle Matt is so nice to you.”

“I just felt like I’m causing him too much trouble, and it’s so embarrassing.”

“What’s the big deal? You can treat him like your family because of me, so don’t worry about it.”

The word “family” made Clarissa blush fiercely, but Ellie didn’t think much about her expression and continued taking a few more pictures of the bashful, natural beauty.

During the meal, Clarissa’s phone rang. She tried to answer it calmy in front of Ellie instead of the balcony to avoid suspicion.

On the other end, Matthew had just reached Zen Highlands after work. He tugged at his tie, unbuttoned his collar with his slender fingers, and casually asked, “Are you and Ellie done with work?”

Clarissa had told him about coming to Ellie’s place.

She responded cautiously, “Yes, I’m eating.”

When he heard her careful tone, he knew that she was afraid of Ellie finding out about him.

He sat down with his lips curled up slightly and asked naughtily, “Are you scared?”

Clarissa wanted to roll her eyes. Idiot! Isn’t it obvious enough?

However, she just lowered her head, poked at her food and whispered, “You know I am.”

His deep chuckle caused her ears to redden and her heart to flutter.

“What are you afraid of? She’ll find out sooner or later.”

“Well, not now.”

Matthew knew she didn’t want to go public with their relationship, so he didn’t push her. Besides, they just started dating, and it was still too early for that.

“All right, not now. But Clare, I haven’t eaten yet.”

When Clarissa heard this, she thought: Is he trying to act cute?

Wanting to say something, she swallowed her words when she met Ellie’s gaze, so she only responded briefly. “All right, enjoy your meal. Bye!”

She couldn’t wait to hang up the phone for fear that Matthew would say anything more.

As soon as she put down the phone, she panicked when Ellie stared at her with a million questions written on her face.

“Wh-why are you looking at me like that?”
