You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa did not plan to play along with Matthew.

After teasing him, she still clutched him by his ears for fear that the man would pounce on her.

The man chuckled helplessly. “Clare, why are you being so insensitive?”

To that, she merely snorted, “I’m saving that for another time. Hurry up, what can I do?”

It seemed like the woman was really desperate for an answer.

Matthew removed her hands from his ears and put on a straight face. “It’s simple, really. You can organize a gathering and treat them to something good. Of course, I will be by your side then.”

Clarissa raised a brow in a quizzical manner. “Why do you have to be by my side? Only a few of them know about us anyway.”

Matthew smirked and ticked off her forehead gently with his finger.

“Silly girl.”

Clarissa was still too naïve to get his point. Matthew’s presence was her way to make up for her friends.

I mean, what good is treating them to just some good food?

The woman still could not wrap her head around his idea. Matthew then said, “Just ask them when they are free to drop by for a visit. Since you’re my woman, they’re essentially helping me when they help you. I’m going to thank them properly.”

Matthew was still ambiguous with his reply. After pecking her on the lips, he turned around and headed upstairs.

Still, Clarissa did not get what he was trying to say. After getting in touch with Justin, she expressed her gratitude toward him.

“Clarissa, are you going to cook us a meal? I’m definitely going. I’ll rush back even if I’m overseas. Your cooking is well worth the effort.”

The woman smiled. “You’re exaggerating.”

However, she was grinning from ear to ear from receiving praises for her cooking.

Perplexed, she asked for Justin’s two cents on the matter. She figured that he might have a clue as to what Matthew meant since the two were quite close.

Justin had gotten the gist of it right away. Matthew has never fancied socializing with others. He’s really going out all out to support his girl. Man, that is true love.

He decided to let the woman in on Matthew’s true intention. She needs to know how much Matt actually cares about her.

“What he’s essentially trying to say is that he’s going to owe those people who show up to the gathering a huge favor. They will actually be able to seek his help if they encounter anything in showbiz. Matt is doing you a huge favor by being indebted to those who have helped you out.”

Clarissa was stumped at the revelation.

She went silent, lost in her thoughts. Justin said nothing either. He thought it was best to leave it for the couple to talk it out.

Still, Clarissa said nothing as she invited the rest and set a time. After she was done, Matthew came downstairs after taking his bath.

His damp hair covered his forehead, and the man was dressed in a soft beige sweater and a pair of grey pants. His usual sharp-witted and impassive manner was nowhere to be seen. In front of Clarissa, he would showcase his rare gentle side.
