You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

On Saturday night, Clarissa went over to the Garretts for dinner.

Hilary had everything prepared for her arrival. Even Yvonne stayed home that night. Not that her attitude towards Clarissa was any friendly, though.

Clarissa brought them some gifts, and they exchanged some pleasantries out of courtesy before sitting down at the dinner table.

“So, where have you been working lately, Clary? Do you need any help with work? Maybe I could get you an easier job at my company instead?”

“That won’t be necessary, Zach. I have a job.”

“At Tyson Corporation?”

Clarissa shook her head. “No, I’m just writing a book at the moment.”

“I see… Well, I’d say that job suits your quiet personality very well!”

Yvonne let out a sneer right after hearing that.

“That sounds nice and all, but does it earn you enough to make a living?”

Clarissa ignored her and took a sip of her tea before turning towards Hilary. “Mom, when’s Jonathan coming home?”

“Next month. He’ll be staying here for a while before heading back overseas.”

“Got it.”

If there was anything Yvonne hated the most in life, it was being ignored, especially by someone like Clarissa.

“What the hell, Clarissa? Did you not hear what I said?” She raised her voice as she questioned her.

Zach shot his daughter a fierce glare to remind her they had invited Clarissa over to repair their relationship, not ruin it further.

Having been warned by her father, Yvonne let out an angry snort and kept quiet.

Zach then motioned at Hilary to ask her the question.

“By the way, Clary, do you have a boyfriend? Don’t get me wrong, though. Zach and I are only asking you this because we care about you,” Hilary asked with a smile.

Clarissa nodded. “I understand, but I don’t have one at the moment.”

I’m not about to tell them about Matthew!

“You don’t? Then what about the guy from… Actually, never mind.”

“Heh… You mean you’ve been dumped is more like it!”

“Hey! Watch your mouth, Yvonne!”

As if she had suddenly remembered something, Yvonne broke into a friendly smile as she continued, “Well, if you don’t have a boyfriend… how about I introduce you to some guys, then? Since you’re planning on settling down here in D City, you should spend some time expanding your connections in the entertainment industry. While I can’t guarantee you’ll find yourself an amazing guy, you’ll at least be able to marry someone rich! What do you think?”
