You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

At the studio, Clarissa had received the illustrations from Joshua and was admiring her own caricatures.

She was drawn as a lovely girl with a rounded face and two hair buns in the shape of ox horns. Wearing a traditional white costume and holding a sword in her hand, she looked tremendously cool and adorable at the same time.

Clarissa loved it at first sight.

Joshua said proudly, “I knew it. You’ll surely love my illustrations.”

Beaming with joy, she said, “Seems like you know me well.”

“Of course! Don’t you know me by now? I like you so much, how can I not know everything about you?”

“Hold it right there!”

Clarissa found it so annoying to keep hearing him say that he liked her.

“Don’t keep saying that, I’m married. Moreover, it’s not like you love me deeply, it’s just a crush.”

“That’s not true, Rissa. Can’t other men like you when you’re married? It’s not a sin, is it? Your husband should be proud that his wife is still in demand. It complements his taste and affirms that he’s chosen the right person.”

Joshua was an open-minded person. However, Clarissa did not want to attract unnecessary attention.

Perhaps she was rather conservative in her thinking, she only wanted to focus on the one she loved. As long as the feelings were mutual, nothing else mattered. In fact, infatuation from others would be a burden with no benefits to anyone.

Clarissa nodded. “Joshua, you’ll realize how childish it is to think this way once you’ve met your one and only love. All of your love and adoration should be reserved for the woman who’s worthy of your affection.”

He seemed confused, but Clarissa did not bother to debate further.

Feeling pleased with the illustrations seen thus far, a consensus was reached upon deliberating all relevant details with the publisher. As soon as the full set of drawings were completed, they would start publishing the full series of Clarissa’s work.

The fairy tale that she had auctioned earlier landed in the hands of Matthew. Clarissa planned to print it as a book and gift it to her son as a present, limited edition and not for sale to the public.

However, it would be more appealing to the child if there were beautiful illustrations that go along with the story.

She passed the story to Joshua and tasked it to him, who agreed almost instantly.

It’d be a perfect festive gift to Damian.

She missed Damian so much and yearned to visit W City since she was not too occupied with work recently.

The journey there would only take about two hours by flight.

The more she thought about it, the more resolute she was to leave for W City. Without further ado, she returned to Zen Highlands to pack her things.
