You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 48
rissa almost chocked on her own saliva at Matthew’s words.
Ellie tried to take the cellphone from rissa’s hand, but thetter grasped it without letting go.
Suppressing her cough, she waved at the former while saying to the person on the other end of the
call, “I got it, Uncle Matthew. I’ll hang up first.”
“Don’t forget about the appointment at the Zen Hignds. I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
“There’s no need. I won’t forget.”
“That’d be the best.”
Matthew’s warning was ying in her mind repeatedly after the call ended.
Obviously, she dared not disobey him.
“What’s up? What did Uncle Matt say?”
rissa raised the corner of her lips to force a smile. “Nothing in particr. He told me not to be shy in
asking Mr. Graham for help if I need anything.”
“Huh? Didn’t Mr. Graham say the exact thing earlier? Why is Uncle Matt so naggy? Is his age catching
up with him?” Ellie grumbled and shook her head.
With that, rissa did not utter a word out of her mouth as she was afraid of letting the cat out of the
bag.
“Alright, let’s head to your apartment. re, seeing that I did you a favor today, why don’t you prepare
a meal for me? How does that sound?”
rissa grinned. “Sure. Let’s get some groceries and ingredients first. There isn’t much stuff in my
ce.”
“Not a problem. Let’s splurge some money. It’s shopping time…”
After lunch, Ellie rested leisurely at rissa’s apartment.
The former leaned against the couchzily while thettery on the carpet, not caring about their
image at all.
“I don’t feel like leaving tonight. Besides, I have what I want for dinner in mind already—”
“I have nster,” interrupted rissa, who immediately came up with an excuse. “I’ve to meet with
my co-workers tonight.”
“Why are you still contacting people like them? Stop letting them take advantage of you, okay? Should I
go with you?”
“No, it’s fine. It’s just a small matter. There’s no harm in meeting them, anyway.”
“Okay. But please call me first if something happens, alright?”
At her words, rissa nodded with a smile. After a while, Ellie got up to pack the leftover pork ribs with
smoky barbecue sauce and baked chicken wings into containers.
Then, she noted, “Since you’re not gonna have dinner here tonight, I’ll not let the dishes go to waste.
So, I’ve decided to finish them at home.
“Is this necessary?”
Of course! I’ll never say no to delicious food! If I were a man, I would marry you and make you prepare
different cuisines for me every day!”
“If you were a man, I would not marry you! I’m not your personal chef! Furthermore, I need to look for
someone to prepare me good food all day! Gosh, cooking is such a hassle! I’m toozy for that!”
Ellie agreed with her statement. That’s kinda true. She does not do anything other than typing. As for
meals, she would order deliveries. It is especially worse when ites to her istion period. During
those times, she would shut herself at home for a month. And that’s not an exaggeration. It’s a one-in-
a-million chance for her to prepare a meal! What a rare asion!
In the afternoon, rissa began to worry after she sent Ellie off.
She knew going to the Zen Hignds was unavoidable, so she changed into a long dress. Feeling
insecure, she took it off and clothed in a pair of jeans and long sleeve shirt. Looking formal and proper,
she headed out in satisfaction.
Matthew had already sent rissa the location of the Zen Hignds. So, thetter showed it to the taxi
driver, who couldn’t help to nce at her several times. She felt odious as he sized her up.
rissa purposely avoided the massive traffic jam during peak hours. Still, it took her forty minutes to
arrive at her destination.

The security guard at the gate was expecting her arrival, so he let her in upon seeing the taxi she was
in. At that time, Mrs. Lawson was about to prepare dinner.
“Miss, you’re here. Mr. Tyson told me you’ll be cooking tonight. I’m not sure what cuisine you n to
make, so I prepared most of the ingredients you might need. They’re all Mr. Tyson’s favorite. Please tell
me the menu, I’ll lend you a hand.”
At her words, rissa bit her lips. So, that’s the first thing he ask me to do? Am I his personal chef
now?
In the face of Julia’s smile, rissa did not show her true feelings but yed a smile on her face and
headed toward the kitchen. Frankly, being able to cook in a huge kitchen with thetest cooking
equipment was something enjoyable to her.
The moment Matthew came in, he saw rissa stood before the stove, lowering her head as she
concentrated on the work at hand.
Following that, he took off his jacket and closed in on her. Julia smiled secretly and went off after
seeing that, while rissa remained unaware.
Matthew could be seen across ayer of transparent ss as he leaned against the wall with his hands
in his pockets, looking stylish and unrestrained.
He stared at rissa with a gentle gaze unlike his usual cold and sharp gaze.
As she was staring attentively at the pot of fish stew, she was startled by the arms that wrapped around
her waist from behind, without warning.
Instinctively, she turned her head back to re at the person behind her with surprise and anger.
“You have scared me.”
With a vicious smirk, Matthew pinched her chin as he lowered his head, then nted a kiss on his lips,
as if partaking a luscious meal.
At that, infuriation and embarrassment welled up in her to the point she felt like hitting him with thedle
in her hand. But she dared not do it. After a bit of struggling, she still could not break free from him.
Eventually, she gave up the idea and paid him no heed. Then, she spun around to focus on the fish
stew, pretending that he was not there.
Matthew curled his lips and bent forward to ce his chin on her shoulder. His scorching breathing
blew past her ear. Then, he took a deep breath.
“It smells good!”
She did not know whether he was talking about her or the fish stew.
Regardless of his intention, her face flushed as she felt unpleasant.
Immediately, she turned around and went to another area to prepare other dishes. So, Matthew had no
choice but to let her go.
Although she was free from his reach, she could feel his menacing stare on her back.
In reality, Matthew was scrutinizing her with his darkened gaze.
She thought her dressing was rather modest that day. But little did she know that the jeans that
wrapped around her legs actually made her looked twice as seductive as before.
The man was drooling as he ogled at her long legs, round butt, and small waist.
Matthew shot her an intense look. He could not hold his hand back from touching her waist, then slowly
moving downward.
“Matthew Tyson!”
rissa snapped and turned back to shoot him a re with a kitchen knife in her hand, clearly warning
him to stop it.
This man is behaving like a horny b*stard! Argh!
Matthew merely let out a smile but did not retract his hand. Still, his hands stopped hovering around her
but began caressing her waist gently.
He used, “re, are you wearing these pants on purpose?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You’re trying to seduce me.”
“Matthew, you perv! Which of your eyes saw me seducing you? My outfit is modest! How could you
me me for your lewd thoughts?” rissa was getting emotional and nearly swung the knife in her
hand past him.
Matthew formed a deeper smile on his lips andmented, “Didn’t you know that it can be more
seductive with your clothes on sometimes?”
“I… You…”
rissa became tongue-tied and red at him intensely. She had a powerful urge to cut him down with
the knife in her hand.
In the end, it was nothing but an attempt to browbeat. “Get out. I don’t want to see you or talk to you.
Leave at once before I give you a piece of my mind.”
Upon hearing that, Matthew stretched his hand to grab her wrist to make her release the knife.
“Alright, I’ll leave now. Still, are you really gonna cut me with that? Won’t you feel sad for doing that?”
“Like hell I would!”
“You would? Hmm… not bad.”
rissa was totally speechless. On the other hand, Matthew let out a chuckle, then lowered his head
to peck on her lips. Following that, he spun around and went upstairs after exiting the kitchen.
rissa was left alone, rooted to the ground. She felt likeshing out, but her heart was brimmed with
annoyance and embarrassment.
She had no idea what was the reason she came here for.
Ugh! This is driving me nuts!
When Matthew came down, he changed into a navy blue casual tee. The dishes were already ced
on the table but rissa did not sit at the dining table.
Instead, she sat on the sofa in the living room. It was as clear as daylight that she intended to set a
distance between them.
Upon seeing that, Matthew headed straight to the living room and pulled her into his arms. With his
hands around her waist, he leaned forward and said in a romantic tone, “Are you waiting for me?”
“I’m not. You are going to eat alone. Can I leave now?”
“Hoho… Do you think I will let you do that?”
rissa rolled her eyes to the back of their sockets. Since he would not let her leave, she would not
keep herself hungry any longer. Immediately, she pushed him aside, went to the dining room, and sat
down. Right then, she lowered her head and helped herself with the food she made without a care in
the world. Since they were all prepared by her, she would at least reward herself with the product of her
effort.
Matthew raised a smirk and sat down to dig in the food. He did not say a word after that.
If there was something to note, he ate more than the amount of food he usually had. And it was all
thanks to rissa’s cooking.
Who would’ve thought that her slender fingers could make such a perfect meal other than writing? I’m
well pleased. I should discover more talents she can use with those delicate hands of hers. As those
thoughts crossed his mind, Matthew’s sharp gaze darkened.
Noticing his stare, rissa moved her hands behind her immediately. Why is he gaping at my hands as
if he is about to gnaw at them? He looks as though he did not get his fill of the food.
Without dy, she broke the silence.
“Is there anything else do you want me to do other than cooking?”
“Yes!”
“And what is that?”
“To thank me!”
rissa bit her lips in response. After a while, she retorted, “Didn’t I thank you already? Making you a
meal is the way I show my gratitude.”
With a subtle smile, Matthew remarked, “It is only for this time. What about those before these?”
“I’ll pay you back with cooking as well.” I’ll never offer him my body.
Matthew went silent for a while as he looked at rissa who looked nervous. Then, he agreed.
“Deal. But you have to prepare all my meals for one month.”
“One month?” rissa was dumbfounded. “Doesn’t one week makes more sense?”
“One month. Most importantly, you have to stay here.”
“No, I don’t want to! I can prepare meals for you but I’m not staying here!” I’m basically walking into a
lion’s den if I stay here.
“Okay. Breakfast is at seven in the morning; lunch is at noon; dinner is at seven at night. You shall not
dy even for a minute. I don’t care where you stay, but you must be punctual. Otherwise, you’ll be
punished.”
