You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Clarissa alighted from her ride alongside Gina as both of them entered the restaurant.

Within the private lounge, Ryler was sitting there waiting for their arrival.

Seeing her entering alongside Gina seemingly surprised him.

Removing her coat as she sat down, Clarissa grinned and explained, “Gina here acts as my bodyguard.”

Ryler could not help but felt curious as he queried, “Are you under threat?”

Not wanting him to worry, she was at a loss of what to say.

Finally, she explained, “Matthew’s the one who’s not at ease. Just think of Gina’s presence as a companion whom I can chat with whenever I’m bored. We get along pretty well.”

Ryler felt relieved at her explanation and decided not to pursue the matter further.

After all, many wealthy people liked having bodyguards or some skilled personnel around them. A fact which was not too surprising, really.

Gina sat down and was quiet throughout the whole time. She did not even interrupt their conversation, merely munching on her food..

Meanwhile, Ryler and Clarissa were both chatting and eating at the same time.

“Have you brought up the matter about your wedding with your grandmother?”

“Yep, I mentioned to her.”

“That’s great. So, you are going to forgo the engagement and just move straight into the wedding?”

Clarissa hesitated and said, “I have never thought about these details before. I think I’ll just forgo the engagement. Don’t think it’s necessary anyway. We’ll just directly get wedded.”

“True that. Just discuss between the two of you and let me know when the time comes. I’ll be leaving D City in a while, but I’ll definitely show up for your big day.”

Clarissa grinned, “Ry, thanks a zillion!”

“Are you thanking me?” Ryler was grinning from ear to ear. After all, their relationship had moved way past those genteel formalities.

“Alright, I admit I’ve said it wrongly. We’re way past that after all.”

After that, Clarissa brought up the matter with Jamie.

“So, are you still seeing Jamie…”

Shaking his head, Ryler answered, “Clare, you’re too curious. I’m merely friends with her by the way.”

For some reason, his face became solemn upon saying that.

Clarissa pursed her lips and cursed inwardly at her own insensitivity. “Alright.”

This explained why Jamie was not looking too happy that night. It could be that she was frustrated at the lack of progress in her relationship with Ryler. Perhaps she was outrightly rejected by Ryler himself.

Right after they finished their meal, Clarissa received a WhatsApp message from Jamie. Speaking of the devil…

Jamie wanted to meet up with her.

Looking at Ryler intently, she told him of Jamie’s intent.

Ryler did not stay for long and quickly left. When Jamie came in, she only saw Clarissa.
