You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

“Clarissa, here you are, come on in!”

At first, the women greeted her. After a while, the men followed in excitement when they recovered from their initial amazement, especially the unmarried male classmates—they were the most excited out of them all.

Some were pulling out chairs, inviting her to sit. Finally, Clarissa chose to sit next to Tianna, whose husband was there too. He looked like a decent man.

There was a reason why Clarissa had not contacted her classmates for so many years. It was not because she was cold or unfriendly.

Because of her beauty and intelligence, Clarissa was rejected and tormented by female classmates while male classmates harassed her and looked at her in a different way. She could never forget this kind of bullying.

However, every year, she would still visit the teachers who cared about her. These teachers did not publicize her visits.

Just as before, Clarissa was not overly enthusiastic about meeting these eager classmates, some of whom still thought of her as a curiosity.

Today was just an interlude.

“Oh dear, beautiful Ms. Quigley, you are still so attractive! Take a look around this room. All the men are bewitched by you. I am sure your husband would be worried about letting you out of his sight.”

Just look! They may be half-joking, but that doesn’t hide the evil intent in their hearts.

“You shouldn’t say that. Our Beauty is the type who puts family and husband first.”

It was Tianna who spoke fairly. Besides, the men did not like hearing those spiteful remarks, so they changed the subject.

“Clarissa, when did you get married? Why weren’t we informed… I heard that your son is already two years old. Why isn’t your husband here with you?”

“That’s right. A beautiful girl such as you definitely married well, didn’t you?”

“Where does your husband work? Perhaps we know him… After all, for the past few years, we had a lot of business dealings, and we do know quite a lot of people.”

“Yes, yes, our President Clark is the big boss. President Clark, those days, did you fantasize about beautiful Ms. Quigley? Now that she is married, are you disappointed? You’re still single, yes? Do you have any plans?”

Johnny was obviously the most prominent figure at the gathering.

The man was seated at the main seat. Before the arrival of the teachers, everyone’s attention was on him.

Meanwhile, he did not try to conceal his eager gaze upon Clarissa.

When others in the group chided him, he just smiled and shook his head. “Oh, stop kidding around.”

There was no serious denial, indicating that he was hopeful.

Clarissa did not accept their bait, instead, she ignored their remarks and maintained a cold expression whilst turning around and looked at Tianna.
