You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa slept for another round. By the time she woke up, her body was already much better.

By then, the sun had already set.

Matthew was nowhere to be seen inside the room. Clarissa got off the bed to look for her phone. On the screen was the notification of missed calls from Ellie, Jane, and Hillary.

Clarissa first called Ellie and told her that she was safe and sound.

On the other hand, Clarissa didn’t return Hilary’s phone call. As for Jane, she had mixed feelings about calling her at first, but she eventually decided to call her.

Jane sounded agitated on the phone.

“Thank god Clarissa, you finally answered my call! How are you now? Nothing happened to you, right?”

Clarissa knew that her colleagues were not Luke’s match, but she was nonetheless disappointed in them as none of them stopped him from bringing her away.

If Matthew didn’t show up at the private lounge at the right time, Clarissa might have already been dead meat on Luke’s hand.

Clarissa instinctively shuddered when she thought of that possibility.

“I’m fine.”

“Okay, that’s good. Do you know we were super worried about you? I contacted the president, and he was also looking around for people to help you, but all of us are commoners after all. There seemed to be no way we could get to you. Also, we didn’t even know your whereabouts… I am so sorry, Clarissa! We were of no help.”

“I’m fine now.”

“Alright then. Rest well. I will talk to you about business a few days later.”

After hanging up the call, Clarissa began to contemplate her contract with Twilight Company. It was coming to an end. Her original intent was to extend the contract with them. In the many years she worked with them, they had helped her to deal with the business aspects of her work, which saved her a lot of trouble.

However, with what just happened, Clarissa no longer wanted to be under the management of the Twilight Company.

Clarissa stared at the set of clothes on the bed. There were even undergarments prepared for her.

It was all black, just like the lingerie Matthew bought for her when they just met.

Does Matthew have a liking for this color?

Clarissa realized the obscene thought in her head and shook her head shyly.

After changing into the fresh set of clothes, Clarissa went downstairs. To her surprise, there was someone else in the house that wasn’t Matthew.

Julia approached Clarissa with a friendly smile on her face.

“Miss, you’re awake? I am the servant of the Zen Highlands. You can call me Mrs. Lawson. Dinner is ready to be served. Sir said he’s not going to return for dinner so you don’t have to wait for him. Do you want to have dinner now or eat it later?”

Peculiarly, Clarissa fell silent before she asked, “Mrs. Lawson, last night you were here?”

Julia chuckled and replied, “Miss, I have been staying here ever since the Zen Highlands was constructed. Last night, Mr. Matthew asked us not to disturb him, and thus, all of us were nowhere to be seen.”

Clarissa wriggled her lips. Inside her head, she was cursing at Matthew.

“Miss?”
