You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa was taken aback.

Seriously? He wants to come to my house late at night? Something seems strange.

Even if he’s an elder I should respect, we aren’t close enough for me to invite him to my house, right?

“Uncle Matthew, I’ve just moved in today. The house is messy. Why don’t…”

As Clarissa trailed off, trying to make up an excuse, the smile on Matthew’s lips disappeared.

“Okay. You can go now. Let’s go!”

As the window rolled up, Clarissa watched the car drove off into the night.

When the vehicle disappeared from sight, she patted her chest and entered the building.

Was he upset because I refused to invite him into my house?

Should I invite him another time?

After all, I got to live here thanks to him. Hmm, I should extend an invitation next time.

Clarissa made up her mind. I should prepare some nice snacks for Uncle Matthew, too.

When the investor Clarissa met previously, Wilfred Knight, asked to meet her again, she was caught by surprise.

Of course, she didn’t reject his invitation as it would be a bad idea to offend an investor. She called her chief editor, Jane, and asked the latter to join her.

Jane agreed without hesitation. But when Clarissa arrived at the restaurant, Jane was nowhere to be seen.

Wilfred was a middle-aged man. He wasn’t that good-looking, but he seemed like a kind man.
