You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 30


    rissa had never felt that she showed particr care or attention to Matthew.


    However, when she got a clearer look at the man next to Shermaine, she could tell almost immediately


    that it was Matthew himself.


    rissa couldn’t help but feel a little chagrined at herself—being sharp was a good thing, but this


    wasn’t the sort of mental acuity she wanted!


    “Ms. Quigley, I didn’t know you were so interested in celebrity gossip, too!”


    One of the supporting actresses from the same film set, Jamie, had just finished shooting one of her


    scenes. She came and sat down next to rissa and struck up a conversation with her.


    She was a university student majoring in performing arts, and she had been selected for this role


    through an open audition. Thus, both her looks and her acting skills were considered passable by


    industry standards.


    Because of their small age gap, rissa had found her rtively easy to talk to.


    Right now, everyone on set was probably discussing the hottest news of today—Shermaine’s new


    rumor!


    rissa closed the webpage she had been looking at and smiled up at Jamie. “I just happened to


    come across it on my news feed, that’s all. I heard the diva herself arrivedst night. Is she filming


    something today?”


    “How would I know?” Jamie replied sulkily. “Shermaine Smallwood is oh-so-important. If she still hasn’t


    shown up by now, I suppose we’ll have to push everyone’s schedule back to amodate her.”


    rissa shot a look at Jamie. “Are you not fond of her?”


    Jamie pursed her lips as she considered her question. “I don’t have much of an opinion on her. Are you


    a fan of hers, Ms. Quigley?”


    “I would say so, yes.”


    “Well, her acting skills are pretty average, in my opinion. She was just lucky that she got movie scripts


    that suited her. Besides, haven’t you noticed that she hasn’t been acting in any movies for the past few


    years? She’s still relevant now only because she is capitalizing on her past fame.”


    rissa smiled warmly. “I don’t know much about acting, so I can’t speak for her acting skills. However,


    I’ve watched that award-winning film of hers, and I found it to be pretty good. The reason I like her is


    because she has the image of a strong, independent woman. It isn’t just because she graduated from a


    prestigious university—rather than relying on her family connections, she managed to make a name for


    herself in the industry by taking up lots of supporting roles at the beginning. Even if this is just an image


    her PR team created for her, she’s still a very bright girl who’s loved by many people. What about you?


    Do you dislike her?”


    Jamie shrugged nonchntly. “I suppose I’m just slightly jealous of her.”


    “Haha…you’re quite honest, aren’t you?”


    “Of course! Shees from a good family, has a smooth-flowing career, and is young and pretty to


    boot. Her future is limitless—she’ll probably catch a hotter and more sessful man in the future, too.


    It’s natural for me to be jealous of her. Ask around the industry, and you won’t find a single girl who


    isn’t. Not all of us are as kind and generous as you are, Ms. Quigley.”


    “I’m not kind and generous. I’ve never had an argument with her before, that’s all.”


    “That’s true. You aren’t exactly from the entertainment industry. Besides, your screenwriting is well-


    regarded in the film industry—she has to act ording to your scripts. Doesn’t that give you a sense of


    achievement?”


    rissa found that funny. She shook her head and was just about to say something when there was a


    commotion at the entrance. When she looked over, she realized that all the film directors had rushed


    over to the entrance.


    From the looks of it, Shermaine had probably arrived.


    Since everyone was crowding out over there, rissa decided that she might as well get up to take a


    look too.


    Shermaine was very beautiful. As a renowned beauty in D City, her features were exquisite and


    delicate beyond words. Besides, a different sort of aura radiated from her—she performed every


    movement with grace and dignity.


    However, the media must have exaggerated when they described Shermaine as a woman with a warm


    and good-natured smile. In truth, rissa observed that her expression was rather cold and aloof—


    while she greeted the director and Ryler politely, her smile was nowhere to be seen for most of the


    time.

    Afterward, she made her way to her private dressing room to get her makeup and hair ready. While she


    was inside, everyone discussed about her excitedly.


    Hoping that she might get an autograph from Shermaine, rissa had already gotten her pen and


    notebook ready. However, her hopes seemed to have been dashed.


    “Do you want Ms. Smallwood’s autograph?”


    Ryler walked over to rissa, attired in a nobleman’s clothes. His outfit made him seem even more


    elegant and refined than he usually was.


    “Yes, I do. But doesn’t Ms. Smallwood look a little tired today?”


    “Come on, I’ll bring you over to her.”


    “No, it’s alright. I think I’d better…”


    As she protested, however, Ryler had already dragged her into Shermaine’s dressing room.


    “Ryler, is that you?”


    Shermaine looked a little startled, but she continued to gaze at him with a smile.


    “Shermaine, this is the original screenwriter for this drama, Ms. rissa Quigley. She’s a huge fan of


    yours, and she wants an autograph from you. She felt too embarrassed toe here by herself, so I


    brought her here with me.”


    “Is that so? The pleasure is all mine—thanks for being my fan, Ms. Quigley. Here, pass the pen and


    paper to me.”


    While she was addressing rissa, however, Shermaine’s eyes remained fixated on her phone screen


    as she typed furiously away. She seemed rather distracted.


    rissa felt a little awkward. She passed the pen and paper to her and mumbled, “Thanks, Ms.


    Smallwood.”


    Without even looking up at her, Shermaine took the stationery from rissa and signed her signature


    on the piece of paper. After that, she passed the pen and paper to her assistant, who handed them


    back to rissa.


    An awkward silence fell over the room. Feeling rather embarrassed, rissa shot a look of panic at


    Ryler.


    “Alright, we won’t disturb you anymore, Ms. Smallwood.”


    rissa and Ryler crept silently to the door. At that moment, Shermaine received a phone call.


    “Why are you only returning my call now, Matt?”


    Her tone had suddenly be rather coquettish. She was probably conversing with the man she liked.


    “Why are you zoning out?”


    rissa felt a sharp pain as Ryler rapped her on the head. She held in a yelp and grabbed her head,


    shooting him an acrimonious look.


    “What the hell’s wrong with you?”


    “That’s what I wanted to ask you! Look how nk you look. Aren’t you happy now that you got your


    hands on Shermaine Smallwood’s signature?”


    For some reason, rissa was in a rather bad mood. She felt rather stuffy all of a sudden.


    However, she couldn’t tell anyone about her secret.


    rissa forced a smile onto her face. When she saw someoneing over, she quickly put some


    distance between Ryler and herself. “We’d better be more careful. If anyone sees us and decides to


    start a rumor about us, neither of us might be able to defend ourselves.”


    Seeing how rissa was trying to dissociate herself from him, Ryler smiled in amusement.


    “Defend ourselves? We grew up together. Even if someone tried to make up a rumor about us, what’s


    there to be afraid of? We’ve known each other for years.”


    “I still don’t think that’s a good idea. I don’t like having my personal life exposed. Ryler, you know how


    I’m like.”


    Ryler sighed, looking at her both adoringly and helplessly.


    “Alright, I got it. Do you think I would just ignore your feelings? Don’t worry, I’ll make sure there won’t be


    any rumors of you. Have a rest, I’ll be heading back to the set first.”


    rissa watched him leave with a thoughtful expression on her face. She found a quiet corner and sat


    down to write another screeny.


    To celebrate Shermaine’s arrival, probably, the directors wrapped up the shooting way earlier than


    usual. The entire production crew went for dinner together.


    rissa went along with them. Because she didn’t like socializing and didn’t want to join the rest of the


    crew, she chose a seat in a corner of the room. She decided to scarf down her food as quickly as she


    could and return to her room immediately.


    The others had probably joined this dinner party for the sake of making connections. rissa was the


    only one who was here solely because she wanted to have dinner.


    After she finished eating, she wondered if she should quietly take her leave now.


    To her surprise, Shermaine suddenly stood up. With a rather strange smile on her face, she said to the


    directors, “Excuse me, but I have a friend who has arrived to see me. I’ll go and say hello to him first.”


    With that, she turned to leave. To her surprise, the door flew open, and the man she had been


    moring after the whole day stood in the doorway.


    “Matt?”


    Matthew stood in the doorway, clothed entirely in ck. He was unusually tall and handsome, and his


    stiff suit entuated the air of frightening coldness he carried around him.


    However, Shermaine acted like a schoolgirl who had just spotted her crush. Her aloof expression


    vanished in an instant, and was reced by a brilliant smile.


    “Matt, please wait a while. I was just getting ready to leave! Why don’t we…”


    “There’s no need for that.”


    Matthew stepped into the room.


    Shermaine felt a little stunned. However, since this drama was being funded by a filmpany under


    the Tyson Corporation, she didn’t think too much about it.


    She looped her arm around Matthew’s and wheeled him towards the director.


    “Directors, this is my friend, Mr. Tyson. The filmpany that invested in our drama is actually just a


    subsidiary of his corporation.”


    Everyone in the room fell silent in shock. They realized immediately that Mr. Tyson here wasn’t just an


    ordinary CEO.


    They all turned to look at Matthew, including rissa herself.


    However, one nce at him was enough to make her heart start beating with terror. As she bowed her


    head, she couldn’t help but feel a little pathetic.


    Matthew was probably here to pay a visit to Shermaine, the industry big-shot. rissa was quite willing


    to bet that he hadpletely forgotten about her.


    Courteously, someone ushered him to a seat next to Shermaine. Her expression took on a hint of pride


    and surprise.


    “Matt, I didn’t think you would give me such a big surprise!” she purred. “I’m simply delighted.”


    Matthew replied something to her in a low voice. His cool, sharp gaze swept across the entire room,


    eventuallynding on a girl who was trying her best to escape inconspicuously.


    His eyes narrowed into a thin line.


    Suddenly, he said, “I heard the original screenwriter of the drama is present too.”


    “Oh, yes, yes! Hey, rissa, rissa!”


    The directors’ urgent voices sent everyone gazing in rissa’s direction.


    She froze, looking like a deer caught in a pair of headlights. The directors’ voices got even louder and


    more insistent, urging her toe back quickly.


    rissa had no choice but to turn around slowly and walk back towards them with the most reluctant


    look on her face.


    Shermaine nced over at her curiously, too—she had yet to meet the screenwriter for herself. The


    moment shey her eyes on rissa, her eyes narrowed in wariness and resentment.


    How could a screenwriter be so pretty?


    Besides, she couldn’t help but feel as though she had met this screenwriter before.


    Shermaine shot a nce at Matthew. His eyes were fixated on rissa as she walked towards them, a


    strange but unreadable expression in his dark eyes.


    Ryler had noticed this as well. His brows knitted into a frown.


    rissa stood in front of them awkwardly with a smile stered onto her face. Pretending as though


    she didn’t recognize Matthew, she turned to the directors and murmured, “Were you looking for me?”


    “Here, rissa. This is Mr. Matthew Tyson, the primary investor of our drama. Why don’t you give him


    a toast?”


    rissa smiled warmly. When she turned to Matthew, her expression turned cold and aloof again.


    “How do you do, Mr. Tyson. It’s a great pleasure to meet you. Unfortunately, I can’t stomach alcohol


    very well. Why don’t I toast you with a warm cup of tea instead?”


    Here, she turned to look for a clean cup. However, Ryler stopped her and pushed his own cup into her


    hands.


    “Here, I haven’t used it yet.”


    In an unusually polite tone, she replied, “Thank you, Mr. Cooper.”


    She turned to Matthew and swallowed the entire cup of tea in one gulp.


    As she beamed at him with what she hoped was a warm smile, Matthew, who remained seated in his


    chair, continued to gaze at her with an unsmiling face. His eyes raked over her, dull and emotionless.


    Just as rissa’s cheeks were beginning to feel sore, Matthew finally spoke up.


    “We meet again, Ms. Quigley.”
