You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 44
rissa slept for another round. By the time she woke up, her body was already much better.
By then, the sun had already set.
Matthew was nowhere to be seen inside the room. rissa got off the bed to look for her phone. On
the screen was the notification of missed calls from Ellie, Jane, and Hiry.

rissa first called Ellie and told her that she was safe and sound.
On the other hand, rissa didn’t return Hry’s phone call. As for Jane, she had mixed feelings about
calling her at first, but she eventually decided to call her.
Jane sounded agitated on the phone.
“Thank god rissa, you finally answered my call! How are you now? Nothing happened to you, right?”
rissa knew that her colleagues were not Luke’s match, but she was nheless disappointed in
them as none of them stopped him from bringing her away.
If Matthew didn’t show up at the private lounge at the right time, rissa might have already been dead
meat on Luke’s hand.
rissa instinctively shuddered when she thought of that possibility.
“I’m fine.”
“Okay, that’s good. Do you know we were super worried about you? I contacted the president, and he
was also looking around for people to help you, but all of us aremoners after all. There seemed to
be no way we could get to you. Also, we didn’t even know your whereabouts… I am so sorry, rissa!
We were of no help.”
“I’m fine now.”
“Alright then. Rest well. I will talk to you about business a few dayster.”
After hanging up the call, rissa began to contemte her contract with Twilight Company. It was
coming to an end. Her original intent was to extend the contract with them. In the many years she
worked with them, they had helped her to deal with the business aspects of her work, which saved her
a lot of trouble.
However, with what just happened, rissa no longer wanted to be under the management of the
Twilight Company.
rissa stared at the set of clothes on the bed. There were even undergarments prepared for her.
It was all ck, just like the lingerie Matthew bought for her when they just met.
Does Matthew have a liking for this color?
rissa realized the obscene thought in her head and shook her head shyly.
After changing into the fresh set of clothes, rissa went downstairs. To her surprise, there was
someone else in the house that wasn’t Matthew.
Julia approached rissa with a friendly smile on her face.
“Miss, you’re awake? I am the servant of the Zen Hignds. You can call me Mrs. Lawson. Dinner is
ready to be served. Sir said he’s not going to return for dinner so you don’t have to wait for him. Do you
want to have dinner now or eat itter?”
Peculiarly, rissa fell silent before she asked, “Mrs. Lawson,st night you were here?”
Julia chuckled and replied, “Miss, I have been staying here ever since the Zen Hignds was
constructed. Last night, Mr. Matthew asked us not to disturb him, and thus, all of us were nowhere to
be seen.”
rissa wriggled her lips. Inside her head, she was cursing at Matthew.
“Miss?”
“Alright, I think I will eat now.”
To be honest, rissa was starving, and she was pleased to hear that there was food for her.
As rissa just recovered from a fever, Julia had prepared many dishes that were light on the pte.
After having her meal, rissa left the building for a stroll in the garden.
Yesterday when rissa arrived at Zen Hignds, it was already nighttime. Thus, she wasn’t able to
notice the beauty of the ce. Under the rays of the morning sun, the patch ofnd was enlivening.
There was ake nearby, and as the light bounced off the surface of theke, it resembled a treasure
trove full of gold. There were a few pavilions built around theke, which were surrounded by all sorts
of flora.
ording to Julia, Matthew had personallye up with the design of the ce andmissioned a
contractor to set everything up. Each corner of the Zen Hignds was sophisticated.
While the scenery outside the house was vivid and colorful, the interior of the building had ck and
white as its main theme. It was a style befitting of Matthew.
However, rissa felt uneasy staying there. She intended to thank Matthew when he returned and
leave the ce.
rissa had a headache thinking of how to express her gratitude to Matthew.
She was worried that Matthew would just ask her to marry him as repayment.
When Matthew returned, rissa’s fingers were running all over the keyboard on herptop.
Once rissa got serious, she would bepletely immersed in her work. She would shut herself out
of the external world.
Hence, she didn’t notice Matthew standing behind her.
At this moment, rissa was writing about the first intimate affair between the male and female lead.
In the novel, the man shoved the woman against the door and pinned her limbs down. He lowered her
head and sunk his lips into hers before prating her mouth with his tongue.
rissa blushed from the passionate session she was describing. The scene she was penning was
exactly what happened between her and Matthew.
She sighed to herself. “Why did I remember it so clearly?”
Matthew’s lips curled up. He bent down and his warm breath grazed rissa’s ears.
“Because you like it!”
“Aaaahh!”
rissa was so taken aback by Matthew’s sudden appearance that she almost flung herptop away.
She hugged herptop and leaped down from the sofa. Rage was swiveling in her eyes as she red
at the man.
“Matthew, did you not scare me enough yesterday? You just want me dead, don’t you?”
Ugh!
The smile on Matthew’s face grew wider. He was amused by the flustered look on rissa’s face.
“Yeah, I just want to mess with you!”
Matthew emphasized thest few words of her sentence. His eyes glowed behind his grim facade.
rissa was at a loss for words.
She blinked empty-headedly at herputer screen. Only secondster did her mind register what she
had typed out.
Damn it!
Did I ask myself out loud why I remember this scene so clearly?
Did Matthew just reply to me that it’s because I like it?
Doesn’t this mean he saw what I was typing?
Oh gosh, this is so mortifying!
She felt her face getting hotter with each passing moment under Matthew’s intent gaze. Soon, she
could feel her whole body burning.
Eventually, rissa decided to just call it a day. She shut down herputer and brought it upstairs.
Matthew followed behind her up the stairs.
Now only with the two of them in the room, rissa felt as if she was a helpless animal trapped in a
corner.
Matthew took off his clothes to change into a fresh set of clothes as if rissa was transparent.
The little woman cupped her eyes with her hands at once.
She ranted, “Hey, can you not be such a hooligan?”
Matthew responded with glee, “I am just changing my clothes. How am I being a hooligan? If you really
want to see how a hooligan is like, then I’ll-”
“Alright, alright! I will keep my mouth shut okay?”
rissa still had her hands over her eyes in embarrassment.
Suddenly, she could feel a source of warmth close to her skin. She opened her eyes and found herself
staring straight into Matthew’s eyes.
The two of them were so close that the tips of their noses were touching. rissa could pick up a faint
scent of alcohol.
She knitted her brows and flinched a little.
“Let go of me. I have something to tell you.”
Matthew still didn’t let go of rissa. “Just say it.”
“You let go of me first. I have something serious to tell you.”
“Then it’s better for me to stay close to you so I can hear your clearly.”
It was the first time rissa seen such obnoxious behavior from the man.
Is he drunk?
Since rissa couldn’t get Matthew off her, she could only retract her neck until she was a safe
distance away from him.
“I am very thankful to you for saving mest night. I was really devastated back then. If you didn’t show
up, I think I probably would’ve-”
rissa was being sincere, and Matthew could sense it.
He pulled her into his arms tofort her for the terrible experience she had to go through.
“Don’t be scared. He won’t dare to touch you again.”
“I know.”
rissa remembered how servile Luke became upon seeing Jeremy and Matthew.
“Yes, even though I am grateful towards you, our rtionship shouldn’t be as such.”
Tsk. Is she going to burn the bridges now that she’s safe?
Matthew had already expected thising from rissa.
He pinched his chin and questioned, “What do you want?”
“I will return to the hotel tomorrow. I now owe you a favor. If you ever need me, I will definitely help you
out. Even though there’s probably little chance that you’ll ever need my help, I promise that I will do my
best to help you out.”
“Okay. I know how you can repay me.”
Matthew’s eyes were filled with lust.
rissa looked away as if she didn’t notice his intent. Half a beatter, she was filled with anger for a
certain reason.
“Uncle Matthew, I respect you as an elder, but that doesn’t give you any right to force me into your
ways. You have a fiancée and are about to get married soon, so how could you do what you did to me?
I will never be a third wheel no matter how low my life ever gets. I will repay your favor in some other
ways. Don’t even think of getting anything from me. Or else, I will really look down on you.”
“Fiancée? I’m getting married soon?”
“Isn’t that so? Everyone knew the famous actress Shermaine was going to marry you since you guys
were young. Didn’t you two even stay in a hotel room togetherst month? Your parents like her a lot,
isn’t it? I hope your love for each other willst an eternity!”
rissa didn’t notice her tone when she spoke.
Not only did she sound grave, but she was literally clenching her teeth.
rissa scoffed after finishing her words. Reluctant to look at Matthew, her eyes darted to one side.
A long while had passed but Matthew still had not given her any response.
She grew livid. See? I knew it’s the truth. Nothing to say now, eh?
“Let go of me.”
rissa forcefully shoved Matthew away from her.
However, Matthew pulled her back into his arms. She was forced to look at Matthew’s face. A grin
etched onto his jowl.
rissa was even more infuriated. “Why are you grinning? You’re so happy to hear my wishes? Alright
then, let me give you a few more words of blessings! I hope you two will stick with each other till the
world ends!”
rissa sputtered all of her words in one go. When she was finally finished, Matthew asked light-
heartedly, “Does it hurt to clench your teeth so hard?”
