You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Shermaine did not wait for Clarissa to respond before she turned and strutted off.

Even if Jamie somewhat expected to be ignored by that usually pompous woman, she did not feel good about it.

That confrontation appeared to be a challenge of sorts to Clarissa. There was a sense that there might be trouble brewing on the horizon.

“The only thing she can look forward to is my ass. Does this woman have an ax to grind with us? Now that we know what sort of person she is, we’ve to be really careful around her when on set. Don’t worry. I’ve got your back.”

Clarissa was touched by Jamie’s concern. “As I remember, you got the short end of the stick getting mixed up with her the last time. It’ll be better for both of us to try and stay out of trouble. As all things considered, we would only end up at the losing end.”

Reality was a pain in the a**, and that got Jamie fuming.

She exhaled. In her heart, she longed to find fame and recognition for herself in show business.

Clarissa understood Jamie’s aspirations and rested a comforting hand on the latter’s shoulder. “Don’t be anxious. Your time will come.”

Jamie bounced back quite quickly. Due to Clarissa’s fondness for her, she brought her around and introduced her to Yaala and Quentin. Even though she was not that well acquainted with the two leads herself, the duo came across as mild-mannered and relatively easy to talk to. It would not be a bad thing for Jamie’s prospects if they took a genuine liking to her as well.

Indeed, not everyone was like Shermaine. Yaala, Quentin, and Jamie clicked well enough to connect themselves on Twitter. All in all, it was a positive enough starting point for Jamie to build upon.

After the costume fitting had concluded, Clarissa informed Justin of her desire to tag along with the film crew. When the two chatted away by the side, something must have tickled Justin. Their exchange may appear a little flirtatious when observed from afar.

Shermaine was not happy to bear witness to this scene. Thus, she had secretly snapped a few photos of them. Her plans for these were unknown except to herself.

It was apparent that Clarissa remained oblivious while this was happening.

Over the next couple of days, there were only some remnant tasks that Clarissa had to see to, such as finalizing the contract with Yael, banking in a few checks, or the likes.

Thus, Clarissa felt a little dispirited when her thoughts came to Ellie.

She tried to reach her through Damon. Even though he was not sure what the whole disagreement was about, he was more than willing to help.

That same night, Clarissa met up with Damon. However, Ellie was not expecting her and did not seem pleased. Though the atmosphere was awkward, Ellie showed no inclination to get up and leave.

Meanwhile, Damon did his best to play peacemaker. “Alright, we’re all grown-ups, so I’m sure we could work this through without bickering. So long as you’re not stealing each other’s boyfriend, there’s no conflict of principle. Come on. How about we start off with a smile?”

Ellie snorted, but otherwise stayed silent.

Damon shrugged as he looked to Clarissa, who relocated herself to sit opposite Ellie. Her attempt to reach out and hold the latter’s hand was resolutely blown off.

Clarissa retreated and had this to say, “I understand why you’re upset, as it’s my fault for holding out on you. Hit me or berate me if you want, Ellie. I only ask that you don’t ignore me as I don’t want to lose my best friend.”

Their relationship was one that she treasured. She did not want to be reasonable when face with this impasse.
