You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa stopped Yael from continuing.

The corners of Yael’s mouth twitched. “There’s actually no need for me to tell you because you can search the internet for a rough idea about all this, or maybe you can browse Tyson Corporation’s website. You’ll find many of their accomplishments there.”

Clarissa didn’t know what expression she was wearing, but it was definitely not a pleasant one.

She finally understood why she had always felt that something was off about this whole matter.

Come to think of it, wouldn’t Tyson Corporation be able to suppress the media from reporting about such a huge crisis, if there was even one, to begin with?

Of course, news and public opinion isn’t all that important.

But ever since I came to D City worried sick, Ellie had always been very vague, saying that the family was in a mess and that the company was even worse off. Nonetheless, that’s only what she said. I’ve never seen her actually doing anything about it. Instead, she’s been busy at the studio every day.

Meanwhile, Jeremy, Yarick, and Justin are all Matthew’s close buddies. When I contacted them, they also said that the company was in a perilous state and that they didn’t know where Matthew was or how he was faring. If it was really as serious as they made it sound, wouldn’t they have been more worried about him? Wouldn’t they have given him a helping hand or something? And if I remember correctly, Jeremy has some business dealings with Matthew. If Tyson Corporation was really facing a crisis, shouldn’t Jeremy be affected too?

At that time, Clarissa had been too busy worrying about wounding Matthew’s dignity and whatnot. Hence, she did not dare to ask too much and chose to care for him in other ways.

Right then, she realized that everyone had only verbally expressed their concern, but did not take any real action.

True friends would never stand by and do nothing in times of need.

These new discoveries made Clarissa realize that she knew too little about Tyson Corporation.

Then and there, she took out her phone and searched for various information about Tyson Corporation, becoming fully immersed. During the whole time, Yael quietly sipped on her coffee and occasionally processed her emails.

After a long time, Clarissa heaved a sigh, prompting Yael to look up at her.

“Mm… I’m guessing this was Mr. Tyson’s ploy to gain pity points?”

Clarissa grimaced in embarrassment. Knowing that Matthew did it on purpose, it was inevitable that she would lose her cool.

Yael did not pass any more remarks. After she finished discussing work with Clarissa, they parted ways.

When Matthew returned to Zen Highlands that night, Clarissa wasn’t there to welcome him like usual.

The lack of her gentle care startled him slightly, but when he saw her busying herself in the kitchen, his heart instantly eased. Warmth oozed in his chest and he shrugged off his coat before slowly walking into the kitchen to hug her from behind.

Clarissa paused for a split second but otherwise did not behave unusually.

She bowed her head to continued chopping vegetables to cook. Although her movements were slightly restricted by his arms around her, it wasn’t that big of an issue.

Only, she hadn’t uttered a word since he came back.

Matthew dipped his chin to rub it against her cheek affectionately, peppering her with kisses before asking in a low drawl, “Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you unhappy?”
