You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 23

Later that day, Ellie invited her to a club. She arrived to see Damon and the others there as well.

She realized what Ellie was up to when the latter pushed her to sit beside Damon.

Just then, someone suddenly asked, “Clare, I heard Ryler, the famous celebrity, is going to be the male lead in The World. That’s awesome! Do you know who the female lead is?”

She was slightly surprised. Ryler? He is going to be the male lead of The World? Why hasn’t he mention it before?

“Oh? I have no idea,” she answered.

“You’re the author and screenwriter of the drama. Aren’t you concerned with the casting?”

Clarissa responded to the question with a faint smile, which made her face looked even more attractive.

With his face flushed red, Damon couldn’t move his eyes away from her face. It was obvious that the guy had a hard crush on her.

Seeing his reaction, the others started to cheer him on. “Damon, have you fallen for our beautiful Ms. Quigley? Your face is blushing when you look at her. If you really like her, go for it! We’ll be the witness of your grand confession.”

“Ugh, stop it! Leave them alone!” Ellie wrapped her arm around Clarissa’s shoulder while saying smilingly, “Our baby Clare is such a lovely lady. Do you guys really think Damon can make her his girlfriend with just a simple confession? He should put in some effort into pursuing her, or else, as Clare’s bestie, I won’t approve of him.” Facing Damon, she continued, “Damon, if you really like Clare, show us your sincerity.”

Clarissa was put in an awkward position.

She quickly objected, “Damon, don’t listen to Ellie. We’re friends! This will only make things awkward.”

With that, she excused herself to the washroom.

Ellie tried to console Damon, who seemed dejected. “Hey, why are you disappointed? Do you think it’s that easy to make Clare your girlfriend? Come on! She’s not those girls who throw themselves at you.”

“I know, and I’m really serious about her.”

She gave a pat on his shoulder. “Then that’s it! Go for it! I’m rooting for you.”

Damon flashed her a grateful smile before he excused himself, “I’m going out for a while.”

His friends began to clamor, asking if he already started to miss Clarisse even though she was just away for a short while.

Clarissa came out of the washroom to see Damon waiting for her. The latter explained, “I’m afraid that you might get lost.”

She couldn’t help but chuckle at his lame excuse. Upon seeing her bright smile, Damon’s mind went blank while blood rushed to his face. He cleared his throat. “Let’s head back!” Then, he constrained himself to turn around and made his way back to the private room.

Having no notice of his abnormality, Clarissa followed suit.

On their way back, they came across an acquaintance — Jeremy.

In his arms was a beautiful lady with a V-shaped face and a pair of long legs. The two showed no sign of embarrassment even though they were walked upon, kissing openly in the corridor.

Jeremy raised his brow when casting his eyes over Clarissa and Damon.

Clarissa greeted, “Mr. Jeremy.”

“Well, what a coincidence! We still lack one person for our card game. Ask your friends to come and join us in my private lounge!”

In Jeremy’s private lounge, she was shocked to see Matthew.

She wanted to turn and leave, but Jeremy immediately took notice of her intention. With a smile on his face, he gently pushed her into the lounge. “Why are you standing there? Go in, take a seat!”

After settling down at the poker table with the lady, Jeremy showed off to the other two people on the table, “Matt, Fatty, look! I’ve found myself a beautiful lady outside the corridor.” Then, he turned to face Clarissa and asked, “Ms. Quigley, do you know how to play poker?” Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

From the moment Clarissa entered the lounge, Matthew only cast his glance at her once and then at Damon standing behind her.

It was only a brief glance, but she thought she saw a dangerous glint in his eyes.

Inexplicably, she felt a little guilty. It was as if she was caught cheating on him though she knew she had done nothing wrong.

“I… I don’t know how.” It took her a while to answer Jeremy’s question.

“Mr. Jeremy, let me take part in the game. Clare, you can sit beside me and watch me play.” Damon grabbed her hand, pulling her to sit next to him.

Once again, Matthew cast his cold gaze over her wrist. At that instant, she felt as if he was going to burn a hole in her hand with his intense gaze.

Jeremy suddenly chuckled. The chubby man called Fatty, too, seemed to have sensed the abnormality when he looked around at the people in the lounge before shifting his gaze to Jeremy. “Why are you suddenly laughing? Are you mad or something?”

Jeremy curled his lips into a mysterious smile. “Oh Fatty, I can laugh whenever I want, can’t I?”

With that, he started distributing the cards.

Soon, Ellie arrived with the others, but the others beat a retreat upon seeing Matthew’s presence.

Yarick couldn’t help but tease, “Matt, not only you’re a nightmare to children, but now, it seems like even women are afraid of you.”

Matthew picked up his hole cards while ignoring Yarick’s teasing.

Yet, Ellie couldn’t help but refute, “Mr. Yarick, you’re wrong. I heard from my mom that Uncle Matt dined with a young lady at the Skylight Restaurant. He even held her hand.” Then, she sought verification from Matthew. “Is that true, Uncle Matt?”

Her words successfully piqued everyone’s curiosity. All of them turned to look at Matthew, except Clarissa, who kept her head down.
