You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa almost chocked on her own saliva at Matthew’s words.

Ellie tried to take the cellphone from Clarissa’s hand, but the latter grasped it without letting go. Suppressing her cough, she waved at the former while saying to the person on the other end of the call, “I got it, Uncle Matthew. I’ll hang up first.”

“Don’t forget about the appointment at the Zen Highlands. I’ll send someone to pick you up.”

“There’s no need. I won’t forget.”

“That’d be the best.”

Matthew’s warning was playing in her mind repeatedly after the call ended.

Obviously, she dared not disobey him.

“What’s up? What did Uncle Matt say?”

Clarissa raised the corner of her lips to force a smile. “Nothing in particular. He told me not to be shy in asking Mr. Graham for help if I need anything.”

“Huh? Didn’t Mr. Graham say the exact thing earlier? Why is Uncle Matt so naggy? Is his age catching up with him?” Ellie grumbled and shook her head.

With that, Clarissa did not utter a word out of her mouth as she was afraid of letting the cat out of the bag.

“Alright, let’s head to your apartment. Clare, seeing that I did you a favor today, why don’t you prepare a meal for me? How does that sound?”

Clarissa grinned. “Sure. Let’s get some groceries and ingredients first. There isn’t much stuff in my place.”

“Not a problem. Let’s splurge some money. It’s shopping time…”

After lunch, Ellie rested leisurely at Clarissa’s apartment.

The former leaned against the couch lazily while the latter lay on the carpet, not caring about their image at all.

“I don’t feel like leaving tonight. Besides, I have what I want for dinner in mind already—”

“I have plans later,” interrupted Clarissa, who immediately came up with an excuse. “I’ve to meet with my co-workers tonight.”

“Why are you still contacting people like them? Stop letting them take advantage of you, okay? Should I go with you?”

“No, it’s fine. It’s just a small matter. There’s no harm in meeting them, anyway.”

“Okay. But please call me first if something happens, alright?”

At her words, Clarissa nodded with a smile. After a while, Ellie got up to pack the leftover pork ribs with smoky barbecue sauce and baked chicken wings into containers.

Then, she noted, “Since you’re not gonna have dinner here tonight, I’ll not let the dishes go to waste. So, I’ve decided to finish them at home.

“Is this necessary?”

Of course! I’ll never say no to delicious food! If I were a man, I would marry you and make you prepare different cuisines for me every day!”
