You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa called Mimi when she arrived at Ayrith Villas. The latter said she was already waiting for her in the villa, and she asked Clarissa to meet her at the third villa on Abingdon Road.

Clarissa drove into the neighborhood. The road in front of the villa with doorplate No. 3 was jam-packed with luxury cars.

She saw Mimi coming up to her as soon as she got out of the car. Her anger spiked at the sight of the gown the latter was wearing.

“Clare, you’re here! Come on in.” Mimi tried to take her hand and ushered her in.

Clarissa halted her steps, shoving Mimi’s hands off her. “So, you have your own party dress. Mimi Lester, what are you up to?”

Mimi flashed her an awkward smile. “Clare, actually, I did a little name-dropping, saying that my cousin is a rich and famous writer. If I didn’t do so, nobody would give a damn about me since I’m nothing but a poor student. Don’t worry. I didn’t tell them anything except that you’re an author. Clare, since you’ve come, join us and relax. Besides, you might as well take this as an opportunity to see if there are investors who are willing to invest in adapting your written work.”

“I appreciate your kindness, but there is no need.”

Clarissa turned around to get into her car, yet Mimi refused to let her go. Before Gina could help free her from Mimi’s grip, someone had come up to them.

“Mimi, what’s going on here? Ms. Quigley, since you’re here, come and join us.”

Clarissa remembered the man being the one she saw at the club with Mimi the other day.

She felt uncomfortable at the way the man was looking at her.

“Clare, this is Leo, the deputy director of the Rouge.” Mimi introduced the man to Clarissa. Then, she turned to face him. “Leo, my sister is rather shy. I’m trying to get her to join us.”

Leo flashed Clarissa a smile. “Ms. Quigley, there is no need to feel shy. Come and join us! There are many celebrities inside the house. Oh, do you know the famous Jamison Scott? He’s here as well. I heard you’re an author. Have you ever thought of adapting your work?”

“I’m not interested.”

With that, Clarissa wrenched free from Mimi’s grip and got into the car with Gina. Seeing Leo’s eyes turned icy, feeling intimidated, Mimi stood in the way of Clarissa’s car to prevent them from leaving.

“Clare, I’ve dropped your name to impress the others. Please join the party for a while for my sake. If you don’t get out of the car, I won’t let you leave.” Mimi was simply acting unreasonable and annoying.

Outside the car, Leo was still staring at Clarissa with his nasty gaze.

Gina, who was sitting behind the wheels, wanted to leave the place. Although Mimi blocked the only way out, she cared little about her bluster.

Vroom! Vroom! As for Mimi, she was trembling in fear when Gina revved up the engine as if she was going to ram into her at any second.

Right then, the sound of police car sirens rang out.

Clarissa felt her heart dropped. Before she could even react, the policemen had blockaded the road and arrested Leo, who was prepared to flee the place. The policemen’s arrival caused chaos in the villa.
