You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

Everyone in the room was stunned momentarily by his insensitive comment.

With that, everyone burst into a fit of laughter again.

“Hahaha…”

Jeremy’s laughter was the loudest among the group, and he made no attempt to hold it in.

The others who were laughing slowly quietened down as they spotted the menacing glint flashing across Clarissa’s eyes.

Jeremy was the last one to stop laughing, but his eyes were still filled with mockery. He knew that he couldn’t tease Clarissa and Matthew directly. Thus, he patted Yarick’s shoulder and joked, “Yarick, that’s not a very good habit. Having sex with someone you’re not close to? Sounds morally inappropriate to me!”

Surprisingly but reasonably, Yarick was offended by Jeremy’s joke, and his expression darkened while he flung Jeremy’s hand away. “Your hookups are way more than mine. Who’re you to lecture me? Moreover, it’s just sex, isn’t it?”

Upon saying that, Yarick cast a meaningful glance at Matthew and Clarissa, implying that they were the same as him.

At that moment, Clarissa’s heart skipped a beat, but she tried to act calm. “Mr. Payne, why are you looking at me? I won’t be able to answer for you since I’ve never done what you and Mr. Smallwood do.”

“Hold on a second. Clarissa, why are you involving me in this? I’m totally different from Yarick. I know my partner really well, okay?”

Jeremy responded with a blatant lie, and Clarissa showed no interest in entertaining them anymore.

The next moment, she sat down beside Ellie and started chatting with her.

Meanwhile, Matthew chose the seat beside Clarissa, but Jeremy was determined not to let him off the hook. “Come on, Matt. Clarissa has insisted that she’s not close to you, so come sit over here and chat with us.”

Matthew shot him a stone-cold look to warn him off, to which Jeremy responded with a shrug.

Rolling her eyes inwardly, Clarissa refused to respond to Jeremy’s teasing.

“Ellie, why isn’t Shawn here?”

Ellie snorted, apparently mad at him.

Eventually, she quoted Clarissa, “I’m not close to him.”

Clarissa’s face was devoid of expression, but Ellie continued to explain, “I’m not trying to tease you, but I’m really not close to him. We only meet up occasionally.”

Clarissa chuckled while shaking her head. The two of them are more like foes.

However, she was aware that it was not her place to advise Ellie, as she could not even handle her own personal matters.

“Alright, let’s stop talking about people we’re not close to. I should be on my way home now, but I missed my flight. I need to head back to W City latest by tomorrow. Since we’ve not met for so long, why don’t I stay at your place tonight and we can chat till morning? Maybe you can tell me the story of that man you’re not close to.”

She tried to keep her volume down, but still, her words were overheard by Matthew.

He interrupted abruptly, “No!”
