You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

While one would probably expect Mimi to cut off all interactions with Clarissa out of spite, things turned out otherwise.

In the days that Clarissa spent at home with her grandmother, Mimi made frequent visits to her house and tried to do all sorts of favors for her. She was surprisingly thick-skinned – she would follow Clarissa on her walks and even stuck around while Clarissa worked from home. At that point, it seemed plausible that she would follow Clarissa to the toilet if Clarissa did not stop her.

“Mimi, don’t you think you’re being really nosy?”

Clarissa was very straightforward with her words. After a few days, she decided to question Mimi, her disdain written all over her face.

To her surprise, Mimi said, “Clare, maybe you’ll come to like me after seeing me around more.”

“I’ll never like someone like you.”

Clarissa was making herself crystal clear. Initially, Mimi’s face turned glum, her true colors showing for a moment, but she instantly covered it up with a smile.

“Clare… Don’t say that. Even if I’m a little greedy and materialistic, I’m still your cousin. There’s no need to hold a grudge this long!”

“So, what do you want from me? Cash? A bag? Or do you want jewelry?” Clarissa was getting impatient.

“If you don’t mind, I’ll have all three?” Mimi’s eyes lit up.

“Get lost!”

Clarissa could swear that she had never seen someone as shameless as Mimi. How can someone like this be my cousin?

On the other hand, Mimi disregarded Clarissa’s annoyance and sat down beside her. “Clare, it’s not like I’m taking your things away forever. I just want to use your bags and accessories for a little. Since you’re well off, you have tons of them, don’t you? I’ll take good care of them, I promise!”

“So, that’s your purpose here?”

Mimi chuckled awkwardly. “Can you please lend them to me? I have a gathering with my classmates. They are all from wealthy families, and I don’t want to be looked down upon by them. I really need to do some networking and make some connections through this gathering. Clare, you might not understand how important connections are since you are always cooped up at home, but those friends I’m making will be critical to my future career!”

That’s why I need to look rich and glamorous. Money is really important in building relationships.

“Gosh, in the end, it’s just your vanity getting the best of you. Mimi, rather than trying to borrow my things, how about you go read some books. Even though you are pretty good at performing, you still won’t make it to the academy without good grades, not to mention becoming a celebrity.” Clarissa sighed.

Mimi laughed it off and sa…”About my grades… My friend’s family has connections with someone from the examination board. I can get my way with it…”

“Hah…” Clarissa laughed coldly.

We truly are from completely different worlds.

“Clare… Please lend your things to me just this once… Please?”

Clarissa sighed. “No, I’m not going to do that. Can’t you get your super capable and rich friends to get them for you?”

“Gosh! Clarissa! You’re so stingy. Even though you have the money to lend me, you’re spending it on a jobless man! Your father would be so angry that he would rise from his grave if he hears of this!” Mimi lashed out.

“Shut it!”

could not hold back her rage any longer. “It’s none of your business, whether I burn my cash or I get a sugar baby with my money.
