You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 36


    Everyone held their breaths and looked at rissa. She’s actually confronting Shermaine?


    At that moment, Jamie was pulling at rissa’s fingers to stop her. Her eyes were red.


    Nheless, rissa showed no signs of backing down. She even wore a grin on her face in front of


    Shermaine.


    “Ms. Smallwood, what’s your opinion about what I just said? They are just my suggestions but I hope


    you can adopt them.”


    After all, someone did use rissa of ignorantly exining a scene to Shermaine, so rissa


    decided to make that a reality and actually do it.


    “Sure! What do you think, Mr. Brown?” Shermaine responded with a smile.


    Despite being unhappy about it, the director nodded. “No problem. We’re done with this part then.


    Everyone ready up for the next scene!”


    Immediately, the entire crew started scurrying around with their work while an assistant held an


    umbre over Shermaine’s head. Jamie’s assistant also rushed over to check on Jamie, concerned


    about her artiste.


    On the other hand, right as rissa turned to leave after Jamie, Shermaine approached her out of the


    blue.


    Shermaine still had a smile on her face as she spoke, “Ms. Quigley, you and Jamie seem close, I’m


    jealous.”


    “I treat her the way I treat any other artiste,” rissa said inly.


    “Haha… Ms. Quigley, is it true that you’re leaving tomorrow? Why so soon? If you’re not here, who’s


    going to go through the script so passionately with me?”


    “The director. He’s actually far more thorough than me. Sometimes, what’s written and what’s acted out


    are quite different. I’m new after all, and there are so many things I’mcking in. So, go look for the


    director, he’s better than me.”


    Shermaine gave rissa a thoughtful look before bidding her farewell. “Alright, Ms. Quigley. I wish you


    all the best. Hope we meet again someday.”


    “Thank you.”


    As Shermaine walked proudly past Jamie, Jamie gave her the death stare as her rage and


    dissatisfaction burned from within.


    “Stop staring, you need a facial right now. Do you have any more scenes for today?”


    The few of them sat in the lounge when Jamie sent her assistant away. While she did her own facial,


    Jamie looked at rissa. She mainly felt touched and also slightly apologetic by rissa’s actions.


    “Ms. Quigley, thank you so much.”


    “What’s there to thank me for?”


    “No. To me, this is important, very important. If you hadn’t said anything, god knows how long


    Shermaine was going to torture me like that. I knew I was going to get bullied one day, but I’ve never


    been through such cruelty in my entire life.”


    While talking, Jamie tried her best to hold in her tears. The changes she was going through after such


    a traumatic experience was not something rissa could clearlyprehend.


    At the moment, the only thing rissa could do wasfort her. “Jamie. To be honest, this type of


    situation happens in every field and there are bad people everywhere. However, as long as we stay


    true to ourselves and work hard, there wille a day when we can finally shine. By then, maybe you’ll


    look back to this incident and shrug it off. You know, what I’m trying to say is, you shouldn’t go on living


    with a vengeance in mind because of what happened today. Your dreams and your goals are far more


    important.”


    Ellie had always said that rissa had a big heart. Truth be told, her heart was just normal-sized, but


    she did have an open mind.


    “I understand, Ms. Quigley.”


    Nevertheless, Jamie’s answers were just words. It was still uncertain whether she could really


    ovee this mental hurdle and let go of her grudge.


    That being said, due to the fact that rissa was leaving the next morning, Jamie invited her out for a


    meal as a sign of gratitude.


    Outside the film studio, there was a restaurant where all sorts of artistes mingled. The famous, the


    unknowns, the extras, and such, all gathered there.


    In there, it was as though all that mour became ordinary.


    While rissa and Jamie were dining, Ryler appeared and approached the two.


    “Jamie, is your face better now? I’m so sorry. I wasn’t there this afternoon and I didn’t know what


    happened.”


    Hearing Ryler’s concern made Jamie flush as she shyly shook her head.


    “Mr. Cooper, it’s okay. I’m fine now. See, it’s not swollen anymore.”


    The way Jamie looked at Ryler was like a little girl looking at her childhood hero, her eyes filled with


    affection and admiration. Even rissa at the side felt likeughing.


    “Jamie, didn’t you say you were a big fan of Mr. Cooper? Why don’t you tell him?”


    rissa’s words made Jamie turn bright pink as she stared at her. Even so, Jamie still mustered up


    some courage and confessed timidly to Ryler.


    “Mr. Cooper, I’ve liked you ever since your debut and watched every production with you in it, multiple


    times. Oh, and your singing is really superb! I’m even a member of your fan club. I… “


    “Thank you, Jamie.”


    Ryler thanked her with a smile but did not seem too enthusiastic about it.


    Noticing the situation, rissa butted in. “You have such an awesome fan here, Mr. Cooper. You really


    ought to take care of her. After I’m gone, please help her out if someone’s bullying her.”


    “Definitely! I dare not go against Ms. Quigley’s request.”


    Jamie looked at both of them and noticed how familiar they were with each other.


    rissa did not keep her out of the loop and told Jamie that she and Ryler were from the same city and


    knew each other since a long time ago. “But he’s famous now, so I obviously have to put some


    distance between us to avoid the media taking photos and spreading rumors.”


    Jamie was a little surprised but could understand.


    She would not pry nor gossip about it, but seeing rissa entrusting her with such a piece of sensitive


    information made Jamie feel moved.


    After the meal, the three of them headed out with their respective assistants following behind them.


    Jamie was the first to leave as her assistant brought the car over whereas rissa and Ryler just stood


    at the door.


    “I was serious. It’s not easy for a little girl like Jamie. If it’s possible, take care of her for me.”


    “You really like her, huh?”


    “Yes. She’s quite candid and doesn’t scheme around behind people’s backs. We get along quite well.”


    “Alright then, I’ll do what I can. But you did just make an enemy of Shermaine. Aren’t you afraid? If she


    really was the petty kind, she’ll certainly do something about what you did today.”


    “Not really. I have nothing to hide and am leaving tomorrow. What can she do? Alright now. You should


    go. Don’t you see even your manager’s rolling his eyes at me now?”


    Ryler’s ride was parked not far in front of them with the manager staring at them from the inside.


    Ryler smiled awkwardly as rissa gave his arm a shove.


    “Alright, I’ll be leaving then. Send me a message when you reach the hotel. Don’t go running around,


    got it?”


    “I’m just going to wait for the car here, not going anywhere.”


    With that in mind, Ryler got in the car and left. rissa smiled as she took out her phone and called a


    cab.


    The restaurant and the hotel were quite near each other, roughly around a ten-minute drive. Having


    said that, after getting on the cab, rissa was slightly nauseated by the smell of alcohol that filled up


    the interior of the vehicle.


    The driver seemed to have noticed her reaction and quickly exined that thest passenger was


    really drunk and caused the smelly situation.


    After that, rissa soon found out that he was a talkative type as the driver asked a bunch of


    questions.


    It was fine in the beginning as the questions were more general, like what was rissa’s job or why


    was she not an actress with how beautiful she was.


    Nevertheless, the questions quickly spiraled out of control, asking about her personal life, like whether


    she had a boyfriend. There were even some unsavoryments mixed into his questions.


    “I know there are a lot of actresses here that would sleep with anyone. Even the screenwriters do it too.


    Where would they get funding from if they didn’t? How would they get a role? You have a pretty face


    too, youngssie. How many men have you slept with? Haha… By the way, I’m not actually a full-time


    driver. This is just a side gig for me after work to make some extras and meet new friends. My cousin is


    a director. Do you want a big role? I can help you with that!”


    “No!”


    rissa refused the driver’s offer with a stern look on her face. She was immediately on high alert as


    she took out her phone. Looking outside, she could see that they were arriving at the hotel. I’m calling


    the police if this driver does anything suspicious.


    Meanwhile, the driver took a glimpse of rissa as his perverted intentions sipped out of those


    bloodshot eyes.


    rissa took notice and quickly dialed the number on her phone.


    All of a sudden, the car took a sharp turn and caused rissa to m into the door, dropping her


    phone in the process. As the car was moving at a really high speed and kept shifting around, she could


    not actually pick up her phone. So rissa shouted.


    “Stop the car! Stop the car right now! You can’t run! My friend knows I’m on this car and I just sent him


    my position!”


    The driver started to panic when he heard that, and at that instance, rissa’s phone rang.


    However, the phone had fallen under the front seat and rissa could not retrieve it. Unable to think of


    anything else, she grabbed the driver’s neck at the spur of the moment, threatening him to stop.


    The cab almost crashed into another car as that happened, barely grazing past it. The driver was likely


    more afraid of dying, so he floored the break. As soon as the car stopped, rissa immediately


    unlocked the door and ran out of the cab.


    …


    Jamie walked out of the police station with rissa and got in a car.


    “Thank you, Jamie. I’m so sorry to bother you at a time like this.”


    “You’re treating me like a stranger, Ms. Quigley. I’ll get mad if you say that again!” Jamie responded.


    After they got back to the hotel, Jamie stayed with rissa for a while before finally heading back to


    her room.


    rissa was left alone in her room, still shaken by what had happened.


    That night, she would drift off into a slumber and then get woken up by nightmares, over and over


    again until she eventually fell sound asleep at dawn.


    Nevertheless, rissa’s rest was cut short as the phone in the room suddenly rang.


    “re! I’m so sorry! I was in a shootst night and Toby told me you’ve reached the hotel. I didn’t know


    he would lie to me. I’m sorry, re. Are you okay now?”


    It was Ryler.


    “I’m fine. It’s over now,” rissa said as she sat up, her voice was a little hoarse.

    Knock. Knock. Knock. Knock.


    There was a rap on the door that startled rissa. “One second, there’s someone at the door… “ She


    said before Ryler could say anything.


    “re, don’t open the door… “ Ryler was anxious, but rissa did not hear him.


    She got off the bed and went to open the door. To her surprise, the moment a gap formed between the


    door and the frame, someone immediately forced the door open.


    There were shes of lights, microphones everywhere as more people piled in and surrounded


    rissa. She was forced to back up until she stumbled to the floor, no one cared though. Everyone


    there was ruthlessly aiming their equipment at the woman sitting on the floor. Snapping photo after


    photo, firing questions after questions.
