You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 50

Clarissa chickened out.

Her eyes flickered as she lowered her head, trying to get past Matthew to enter the house.

But her attitude and words had clearly offended him. She could not get away in one piece.

As soon as she took the second step, Matthew carried her up, and she shrieked in surprise. He took her into the house and headed upstairs. After entering the room, he threw her on the bed.

“Matthew, what are you doing? Ah… Mmm…”

Before Clarissa could get up, she was pressed against the bed and kissed. His actions were domineering. As a result, she could not budge an inch.

As she was struggling to break free, Matthew’s motions and fierce expression frightened her.

“Mm…Let me go. I am wrong…Please don’t do this…”

When Clarissa’s eyes met his, she thought that he might deflower her.

He is serious about it.

However, Matthew suddenly halted his movements.

His body was on top of hers, and his breathing gradually became rapid. His dark gaze was intimidating, causing the guilt-ridden Clarissa to stop getting mad at him.

“I am sorry. I know that you’re doing this for my own good.”

“If you were to let someone rape you, then you might as well let me have you.”

Upon hearing that, she was at a loss for words.

She could feel the heat of his breath beside her ear, and it made her feel like retracting her neck. In response, she dared not breathe deeply.

After staring at her for a while, Matthew got down from the bed and entered the bathroom.

With that, Clarissa fled from the scene and headed to the kitchen. She was still traumatized by the episode earlier.

At that moment, she finally became clear-headed and began to prepare breakfast. Her morning grumpiness and anger vanished into thin air.

Hmm? Has he finished jogging? Why is he taking a shower now? Well, who cares? I should focus on preparing breakfast.

She finished the preparation before seven. Right on time, Matthew came down wearing a navy blue suit. It was tailormade to fit his body, further highlighted his muscular physique. However, he remained aloof and was unapproachable. His icy stare made her blood ran cold.

Clarissa’s breathing turned shallow. As she planned to leave, Matthew shot her a glare. Without him uttering a word, she sat down obediently and had breakfast with him. It was a good thing that she prepared an extra serving.

After the meal, Matthew left without saying goodbye. She thought that he was probably still enraged by what happened earlier.

Julia cleared the table after sending him off. Looking at the shuddering Clarissa, she could not help but laughed.

“Miss, Mr. Tyson instructed me to prepare you a laptop, saying that you might need it for work. Since traveling back and forth is inconvenient, why don’t you stay here in the meantime? Mr. Tyson won’t be

around during the day, anyway.”

After pondering, Clarissa nodded.

Coming back and forth is a hassle. It’d be great if he doesn’t come back at all during daytime.

The next moment, Clarissa held the laptop in her hand, leaned against the sofa, and started her work.

At noon, she prepared the food and ordered the chauffeur to send it to his office.

In the evening, she waited for Matthew to come home after she was done cooking. The first day is finally over. Why do I feel like a homemaker waiting for her husband’s return?

Eww! What am I thinking about?

Clarissa hurriedly got rid of the thoughts. Later, she checked the time, and it was seven. If I leave now, I will make it back to the apartment before eight.

She left right after informing Julia as she was not planning to wait for his return.

Julia could not comprehend Matthew and Clarissa’s relationship, so she did not poke her nose into where it did not belong.

Shortly after Clarissa left, Matthew came back home.

A freezing aura exuded from Matthew after he noticed that Julia was alone. Soon, the temperature of the room had dropped to subzero within seconds.

“Where is she?”

Julia replied anxiously, “Ms. Quigley left after she was done. She seemed to have something going on later as she was checking the time repeatedly.”

At her words, Matthew shot her a deep look. After she was almost done with her explanation, he finally nodded and went upstairs.

Clarissa arrived at her apartment at 8pm sharp. After changing her outfit, she headed down. By that time, Luke’s car was already parked in front of the entrance.

He leaned against the car door as if he had confidence in his cool and handsome look. The passerby looked at him and talked among themselves. The gazes of young women were especially evident.

The moment Luke saw Clarissa, he walked over politely and handed her the bouquet in his hand.

“Clare, you look beautiful tonight.”

At his compliment, Clarissa twitched her lips. I just put on a loose t-shirt and shorts. How is this beautiful? I literally look like a gunny sack. ”Thank you.”

After Luke opened the car door, Clarissa got into the car. The car sped off from the scene while those young women were staring at her with envy.

Luke picked a high-end fine dining restaurant that was quiet and romantic.

Clarissa was overwhelmed with discomfort as soon as she sat down. She was rather surprised by the fact that she was allowed to enter the restaurant in that attire.

“Clare, I know the owner of this place. Don’t feel embarrassed. I brought you here to enjoy a nice meal. You don’t have to mind those people as long as you’re happy.”

At his remark, Clarissa turned to look at him.

With a smirk on his face, he said, “Why? Have you fallen for my good looks?”

Clarissa shook her head. “Is it worth collaborating with a company with the price of a meal? I may not know what project it is, but you are giving it to the Garretts just because I have dinner with you? Don’t you think it’s a little too hasty a decision? Could it be that they are capable of getting it to begin with; but you just threatened them to make me give in to your whims?”

“Hmm?”

Luke raised his eyebrows and curved his lips into a happy grin, as though some thoughts crossed his mind.

“Haha…Did you give in?”

“This is what I’m trying to say. Mr. Harrison, if you think you can threaten me with the Garretts, you’ll be disappointed because it doesn’t work on me. The only reason I agreed to come out with you today is to make things clear with you. If they are incapable, they will go out of business one day, which has nothing to do with me. For once, I hope that you’ll stop using them or my mother to blackmail me. Also, perhaps I am overthinking things, but I hate to let things remain ambiguous. I am not interested in you. Do you understand?”

“Hahahaha…”

Luke chortled at her statement as if he heard a funny joke. His laughter caught everyone’s attention in the restaurant.

Clarissa felt a little awkward after being watched by others like this. Her face flushed as she felt uncomfortable. Then, she gave Luke a cold stare.

Her expression was a mixture of shyness and anger in the eyes of the other diners.

Upon seeing that, Jeremy snapped a picture with his phone and clicked his tongue.

Why am I encountering this every time?

“Mr. Smallwood…” His partner whined, “That girl may be beautiful, but she is not available now.”

Jeremy smiled. “Yeah. She is not available indeed.”

After pondering over it, he sent that picture to someone else.

“Tina, I won’t steal someone else’s woman.”

The woman’s smile opposite him froze. “Mr. Smallwood, I’m Molly.”

“That’s right. You’re Molly. My little Molly.”

Initially, Clarissa thought Luke would be agitated after she snapped his head off. Who would’ve thought that he would remain unfazed and continued smiling?

Throughout the entire time, he either stared at her or complimented her beauty and how lovely she was. He even praised her table manners.

He must have practiced his sweet-talking skills with countless young girls.

As if Luke could her mind, he commented, “Clare, women love men that know how to compliment them. Could it be that you have a fetish for an aloof and grumpy middle-aged man?”

An aloof and grumpy middle-aged man? What a perfect description for someone else.

After that, she replied, “Neither of them suits my taste. Okay, I’m done. Can we go now?”

“Tsk! Tsk! But you suit my taste.”

“I won’t accept you.”

Upon saying that, she got up and was about to leave.

Luke caught up to her and said, “Let me send you home.”

The car was parked outside the apartment. The two were standing beside the car. As Clarissa caught sight of the look on his face, she could tell that he was still up to no good.

This man is unlike Matthew, who is unpredictable. Wickedness is written all over his face. I believe he’s just courting me for fun. I don’t have the charm that will make every man falls for me. Luke is the classic playboy.

“Mr. Harrison, our dinner date is over. From now on, I don’t care if you still plan to give the Garretts a hard time but don’t involve me anymore. I’ll no longer entertain you. Goodbye!”

After she spun around, Luke grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

“Luke Harrison! Let me go!”

Luke sneered at her exclaim. Following that, he pinched her chin and closed in on her.

“Clare, be my woman. What do you say?”

Clarissa was in full defense and rejected in anger, “I won’t.”

“Why? Is it because of Matthew?”

Clarissa became a little anxious. “This has nothing to do with him. Mr. Harrison, let me go at once. Are you going to force me like you did that night? I do not condone behavior like this. I despise you.”

“Hoho…It has nothing to do with him? Your voice shivered a little. Clare, you are the friend of his niece. If you get together with him, what will other people say? Matthew is not a notorious man like me. You —”

“Shut up! What else do you know other than threatening me? Can you try something new? If you don’t let me go, don’t blame me for being rude.”

Luke leaned forward as if he was trying to kiss her and asked in a suggestive tone, “What will you do to —Ahh…”

Luke pushed her away and glared at her angrily.

“What did you just do?”

Clarissa showed him the Taser in her hand. “Mr. Harrison, forcing yourself on a woman is a despicable act. Stop it at once.”

A chilly glare flashed across Luke’s eyes and he grinned smugly.

“Hahaha…I just love to force women into things against their will.”

Clarissa was disgusted at his words.

Luke came closer in a determined manner. “It doesn’t matter if you are Matthew’s woman or not. If I want to get something, I will get it by any means.”
