You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 37


    “Ms. Quigley,st night, after your failed attempt to seduce Ryler Cooper, you went on to hook up with


    the cousin of a director, Mr. Mackenzie. Is this true?”


    “Ms. Quigley,st night, what benefits were you promised after spending the night with Mr. Mackenzie’s


    cousin?”


    “Ms. Quigley, did you obtain the opportunity for the movie adaptation of The World via simr means


    with the investors?”


    “Ms. Quigley… “


    At that instance, the first thing that came into rissa’s mind was to cover her face. For her to be


    forced onto the floor like that was humiliating. On top of that, the people there were mercilessly firing


    shots at her, saying all sorts of nder and satire.


    In that situation, rissa’s mind went totally nk.


    “What are you people doing? Get away! Move!”


    Someone came to help. It was Jamie, and not Ryler.


    She brought her driver and assistant, as well as several hotel staff, chasing the crowd out of the room.


    After the room was cleared, silence ensued. rissa was still in shock. Her hair and clothes were in a


    mess. Bruises could be seen forming on her delicate face as Jamie helped her up and sat her on the


    bed.


    rissa sat there, speechless for quite a while.


    Seeing her situation made Jamie furious. All that had happened was definitely deliberate. Why else


    would a paparazzi ever follow a screenwriter that is so low profile? I swear, if this had nothing to do with


    Shermaine, I’d cut my head off and use it as a football.


    “Ms. Quigley, it’s alright now. Everything’s okay. Don’t be scared,” Jamie said as she gave rissa a


    hug and patted softly on her back tofort her.


    Right then, rissa came to her senses again. She started shivering in Jamie’s embrace. Even though


    there was no sound, Jamie could feel her shoulder getting wet with tears.


    She let out an internal sigh.


    “Ms. Quigley, just let it out. I’d cry too if something like this happened to me. It’s okay, so just cry your


    heart out and pick yourself up afterward. There are still a lot of questions for this incident that need


    answers, you can’t give up so easily.”


    Hearing what Jamie said, rissa immediately raised her head. “Those reporters… “


    “Don’t worry. Mr. Cooper said he’ll handle them. He actually wanted toe, but he just didn’t have the


    time. So he asked me to check on you because he’s really worried.”


    “Okay, I understand.”


    Ryler should not be involved with scandals at the moment and Toby never actually liked rissa


    anyway. Even though he never said anything, it was clear that Toby’s attitude towards her was average


    at best.


    Hence, rissa knew better and rarely contacted Ryler.


    Even them meeting at the film studio was an unexpected asion.


    Why did those people say I attempted to seduce Ryler?


    “What happened? Why did they suddenly all wind up here looking for me?”


    Jamie started fuming as she began to exin.


    “Someone posted the photo of you and Mr. Cooper on Twitter this morning. It was when you two were


    waiting at the door of the restaurant. The angle was especially deceptive and they wrote that you tried


    to seduce Mr. Cooper but was ignored. Then, you got in some director’s cousin’s car and they found


    out that this cousin had been going around sleeping with many women using the name of the director.


    Some people even came out and said they saw you abuse your position to get close to Mr. Cooper and


    disrespect Shermaine… “


    And with that, rissa was finally able to grasp a general idea of the situation, feeling weak as she


    lowered her pale cold face.


    “Ms. Quigley, this is definitely the work of Shermaine. That witch is getting back at you for protecting


    me yesterday. I’m so sorry.”


    “This doesn’t concern you, Jamie,” rissa said calmly. “Even if you weren’t there, I was already


    targeted prior to yesterday’s incident. She’d eventually do this anyway.”


    “Ms. Quigley, weren’t you leaving today? Why not you just get out of here for now?”


    rissa shook her head. “It’s already toote. If I go out now, I’d most probably just get surrounded


    again.”


    Then, while she was still trying to figure out a solution, the phone in the room rang once again. rissa


    picked it up to hear a cold voice from the other end.


    “Why can’t your phone be reached?”


    Unknowingly, hearing that voice made rissa unable to hide her feelings. Tears started welling up


    again as she wanted to cry.


    “I lost it.”


    “What happened? Are you in trouble?”


    “You… you know?”


    Her voice was crackling. rissa was trying her best to hold in her tears as she did not want to show


    signs of weakness to the man on the phone, but she could not control herself for wanting someone to


    depend on.


    Anyone would feel the same if the same thing happened to them.


    Hence, rissa quickly exined to him, “Those people are ndering me. I was just having dinner


    with Ryler and another artist from the crew. After the meal, I got in a cab but the driver was… “


    She could not continue any further.


    On the other end of the phone, Matthew immediately stood up and left hurriedly. His handsome face


    remained cold as ice.


    He did not need rissa to say anymore as he could already guess the rest. The only thing he wanted


    to do at the moment, was murder.


    With the rage of burning hell, Matthew gave rissa an order.


    “Wait for me!”


    The call ended right after, and he proceeded to call Donnie.


    “Donnie, find out everything about what happenedst night at the film studio, immediately. Take down


    all the articles and photos regarding the incident. Also, find that driver and take care of him.”


    Matthew’s tone sent out a very clear message to Donnie. Mr. Tyson is extremely angry.


    …


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    After the phone call, rissa’s heart was racing.


    “Ms. Quigley, was that your friend?”


    “Yes. Jamie, I’m alright now. You should go back, you still have a shoot going on.”


    “Are you sure you’ll be okay alone? Maybe my assistant can stay here to apany you. She can call


    me if anything happens.”


    “There’s no need. I’ll just stay in the hotel, so it’s okay. The paparazzi won’t be able to take any photos


    of me even if they wanted to.”


    Hence, Jamie left soon after. rissa was the only one left in the room, just sitting there waiting,


    oblivious to how much time had passed.


    Until, there was a knock on the door.


    Her heart started racing as soon as she stood at the door. With a shivering voice, she asked, “Who’s


    there?”


    “It’s me!”


    A low, maic voice resonated through the door and rissa immediately opened it.


    Matthew stood there in front of her, his eyes as dark as the midnight sky.


    Tears instantly welled up in rissa’s eyes and Matthew swiftly stepped in to embrace her tightly in his


    arms.


    No words were needed as rissa just stayed there in his arms, taking in Matthew’s chilling scent. She


    was finally able to loosen up as she felt more secure than ever before.


    With her face on Matthew’s chest, rissa’s tears sipped into his shirt. The warm tears felt like it was


    scorching Matthew’s heart at the same time as he could feel the pain emanating from his chest.


    His long fingers stroked rissa’s back slowly, allowing her to be vulnerable in his arms.


    After a long while, Matthew sat down beside rissa on the bed with his hand around her waist.


    The man caressed rissa’s pink and tender face. In his embrace, her eyshes fluttered as she


    looked at him. Her shyness was ented by those shimmering beady eyes.


    The woman in front of Matthew made his throat tighten. Even the blinking of her eyes was seductive to


    a point that made him fantasize about ways to devour her whole.


    Nevertheless, Matthew showed no signs of emotion as he maintained the straight face that he always


    wore. No one would have known that under that mask of his, was something so wild and raw.


    Matthew’s endurance was top notched after all.


    He only had to twist some of his fingers before speaking with his low raspy voice.


    “I’ve handle the news articles and the photos.”


    “Thank you.”


    Another thank you!


    Matthew snickered and pinched rissa’s chin, forcing her to look up at him.


    “Your thanks will eventually have their uses.”


    “Huh?”


    rissa did not understand what he was trying to say, but Matthew exined nothing.


    “Pack your bags ande back to D City with me.”


    It was another order, but this time, rissa hesitated. She did want to leave, but her destination was


    not D City.


    “I… I want to… take a trip back to my home.”


    As soon as she finished, Matthew’s piercing gaze came shooting over. So, rissa quickly exined,


    “It’s been so long since I went back. The elders must be worried sick. Furthermore, I never said I wasn’t


    going back to D City!”


    She unknowingly lowered her gaze, not wanting to meet the intensity in Matthew’s eyes.


    “How long?”


    “One… One umm… Week?”


    Under the immense pressureing from Matthew’s stare, rissa was forced to shorten her one-


    month n into a one-week trip.


    “It’s been two days since you gave me the reply.”


    Which meant that, within a week, rissa had to give Matthew an answer.


    Truth be told, what Matthew meant was that the answer did not matter since he was just that


    domineering. In his eyes, rissa was already his. The more important thing was that the one-week


    time limit he gave her had five days left.


    In spite of that, rissa was going home for a week.


    Which meant the confirmation from her will have to be dyed by two whole days.


    rissa’s face flushed, “It’s… It’s just two more days!”


    Can’t you wait for just two more days?


    Lo and behold, Matthew actually could not.


    “Five days.”


    rissa did not expect him to be so eager, and she certainly did not know that Matthew badly wanted


    to devour her whole.


    “One week, please. I want to spend some time with my family. They’re getting really old. Even though I


    hired a nanny, I’m still worried about them. This is something I will not back down on.”


    For her grandmother, rissa would face anything head on.


    Matthew’s eyes darkened as he sat there silently. While rissa, on the other hand, felt tense as if she


    was waiting for a verdict.


    “One week!”


    Matthew finally agreed. It felt like rissa was shown mercy as a dazzling smile formed on her face.


    “Thank you! I… “


    A thank you was not enough as Matthew lowered his head to kiss her smile. His tongue exploring even


    further, intertwining with another while he inhaled every bit of her breath away.


    In the room, the breathing sounded heavier and clearer as rissa’s body weakened under the kiss,


    allowing her to be pushed onto the bed. Meanwhile, the man on top of her increased the intensity of his


    kisses, shifting his hands onto her body and touching her as he pleased.
