You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa’s mood turned more sullen after she stepped onto the plane.

She did not wish to get into a fight with Matthew.

She hated the fact that she had just ruined the weekend by speaking “the truth”.

Prior to her departure, Clarissa wanted to kiss him goodbye, but the man just returned her a perfunctory peck on the cheek.

He knew what I said to be true. Sometimes the truth hurts but that doesn’t mean that I should start lying. He is always the more rational one and should know this better than anyone else. Besides, he only has himself to blame for this obstacle between us! What right does he have to be mad at me? Urgh!

After she arrived at her hotel, Clarissa called Matthew to check in with him. However, the man’s aloof attitude had gotten under her skin again, causing her to reciprocate in bitterness before hanging up the phone.

Who does he think he is!

Brushing her unpleasant phone call with Matthew aside, Clarissa sorted out her stuff in the hotel room before heading out to check in with Justin. She also brought with her some snacks from D City to share with the crew.

Clarissa went into Justin’s room to catch up with him and a few other crew members regarding the filming progress. She was told that not long after she left, Shermaine, too, had taken some time off to go back to D City. They were said to have come back to the set around the same time.

Upon hearing that, a strange feeling flashed across Clarissa’s mind, but she did not dwell on it.

As they were leaving Justin’s room, he stopped and asked Clarissa, “When you were at D city, did Matt mention anything?”

“What is it?” She was baffled by Justin’s question.

Justin shook his head and smiled in return. “Oh, it’s nothing. I’m just afraid that Matt may be mad at me for keeping you here.”

Clarissa let out a chuckle; her brows arched in a way that was refreshingly pleasant. “This is my job. There’s nothing he can say about it. Besides, I’ve never complained once when he gets busy with his work. It’s an era for gender equality now!”

“Yeah, you’re right.”

After sending Clarissa off, the smile on Justin’s face faded away as he walked back into his room.

His expression grew grim as he recalled his earlier conversation with Jeremy and felt bad for Clarissa.

Clarissa inevitably bumped into Shermaine when she was on her way to send some garments for the set.

“Ms. Smallwood, here’s your new costume.”

Shermaine turned around and gazed at Clarissa. Her eyes appeared more slanted and apparent than usual due to the makeup.

Clarissa thought something was discernible in Shermaine’s eyes.
