You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa tensed up as well when she heard what Yarick said.

She turned towards Matthew, hoping to read the look in his eyes. However, she couldn’t make anything out of his cold, expressionless face.

“Yeah, what do you make of this, Uncle Matt? You’re always spot on with your judgment about people, so why don’t you tell us what you think? Who knows, maybe you can even recommend someone better for Clarissa after her breakup!”

“Ahem…”

Yarick choked on his own saliva when he heard that, but pursed his lips and kept quiet when he saw the others roll their eyes at him.

All Matthew did was shoot Clarissa a cold glance as he said, “Break up with him, then.”

Everyone else went silent upon hearing that, all except Ellie, who patted Clarissa on the shoulder as she tried to comfort her.

“See? Even Uncle Matt agrees that you should just break up with that guy! Don’t worry, I’m sure you’ll find someone better! I’m sure Uncle Matt and Justin know some decent men they could recommend to you! The best way to forget about that guy is to embrace a new relationship!”

A look of sadness flashed across Clarissa’s face, but it was quickly replaced by a cold and wry smile instead.

Ellie tried changing the topic to take her mind off it, but her bestie wasn’t interested and continued downing drinks, one glass after another.

Realizing something was really off, Ellie decided to bring her home.

Clarissa was so drunk that she could barely stand, and she was mumbling something under her breath while Ellie struggled to hold her steady.

“Hey, you guys! Don’t just sit there! Give me a hand, will you?”

Yarick was the fastest to respond “Ah… No, I think I’ll pass…” He shook his head profusely.

Jeremy, on the other hand, simply smiled. “I don’t think it’s appropriate for us to do so.”

Justin nodded. “I agree. It would be disastrous if someone were to spot us and take pictures.”

Ellie frowned in annoyance and turned to Matthew instead.

“Uncle Matt, you’ll help me out, right?”

Before Matthew could respond, Clarissa stood up straight and said, “I can manage myself… I’ll be fine on my own…”

She then brushed Ellie off and staggered her way out the door.

Letting out a helpless sigh, the latter ran after her while the rest of them remained in the room.

“She’ll be fine with a little coaxing, Matt,” Jeremy said with a grin as he watched Matthew light up another cigarette.
