You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 49


    rissa refused toply.


    “Why am I subject to punishment? I cooked for you as a sign of gratitude for your help. I don’t work for


    you.”


    At her remark, Matthew raised his eyebrows while his dark gaze glinted.


    “Since you choose to cook, you have to do your best. Otherwise, if youe and go as you like, how


    can you truly repay me? If you don’t give your all, that means you don’t show genuine appreciation for


    my help, right?”


    rissa twitched the corner of her lips. As if I wanna give my best.


    Although that was her honest thoughts, she could not tell that straight to his face.


    So she forced a smile and said, “Yeah, right. Everything you say is correct.”


    “However, if you think this is too harsh for you, I can give you another option.”


    “What is it?”


    “Offer your body as payment.”


    “No way!”


    rissa had seen thising as she knew Matthew had ulterior motives. Without hesitation, she


    rejected him decisively.


    With a disappointed expression on his face, Matthew sighed, “What a pity.”


    “I don’t think so!”


    rissa continued in a determined tone, “Since it’s decided, I’ll take my leave now.”


    Matthew smirked and stretched his long leg to stop her tracks.


    “What else do you want?”


    “re, stay over tonight.”


    His deep voice and intense gaze as dark as the abyss caught her attention. One nce at him, and


    she was bewitched and immersed into it.


    rissa bit her lips to get herself out of that temptation. She pressed her clenched fingers hard on her


    skin to pull herself together with the pain.


    “I’m leaving now, Mr. Tyson.”


    rissa walked past Matthew without falling for his trick and left that ce frantically.


    After staring at her disappearing silhouette, Matthew chuckled.


    “Mrs. Lawson, get the driver to chauffeur to send Ms. Quigley home.”


    “Yes, Mr. Tyson.”


    After entering the car, rissa had mixed feelings in her. She did not know if she should feel


    disappointed or relieved.


    What’s with his attitude? In one moment, he is being so unreasonable. Next, he bes aloof. Does


    he suffer from a personality disorder?


    Upon arrival, she waved goodbye at the chauffeur and went up. The first thing after she opened the


    door, she saw an unexpected guest, Hry, in her apartment. After seeing her, thetter walked toward


    her from the window.


    “Who’s the one that sends you back? Is it the one who drove that sports car the other day?”


    Although the car that came just now was not extravagant, I could tell that it was not something an


    average wage earner could afford. This one was definitelyparable to that high-profile sports car


    the other day. I wonder if it is the same person?


    I must put a beautiful daughter like her of better use. It’d be a waste of a great treasure I give her to


    that lecherous Patrick. A stunning beauty like her deserves a better man, maybe more than just one.


    We can use her to gain more benefits.


    rissa furrowed her brows in displeasure. “I ordered an Uber through my cellphone. I don’t know that


    guy.”


    With a smile on her face, Hry took rissa’s handbag to hang it. “Don’t you lie to me! How could it


    be a cab? Are you pulling my leg? Don’t hide things from me. I’m just concerned about you.”


    “He’s just trying to earn some side ie while his boss isn’t around. Why won’t you stop dreaming of


    me having rich acquaintances? You just got discharged not long ago. Will you get some rest?”


    rissa stopped Hry’s probing and poured herself a ss of water and took a seat. “What business


    do you have here? Are you not going back?”


    “Ah. I have something to tell you.”


    Looking at Hry’s unsettling manner, rissa knitted her brows together. “What’s the matter? Just


    shoot.”


    “Well, the thing is, Zach’spany is facing some difficulties recently. If he can get hold of a project,


    the crisis will be ovee. But that project is not easy to get.”


    “What does that have to do with me?”


    “The other party offered to give Zach the project if you meet up with him.”


    Noticing rissa’s enraged expression, Hry added, “I didn’t know how that person knows you this


    time. I swear we’re innocent. ry, are you acquainted with him? Did he make this offer because he


    knows your rtionship with the Garretts?”


    rissa cocked her eyebrows. “That’s impossible. I know very few people in D City.”


    “Then, what do we do? If you don’t help us, we will have to file for bankruptcy. ry, please. I beg you.”


    Just as rissa was about to reject Hry cruelly, an unknown number called her phone.


    Right after she answered the call, Luke’s chuckle could be heard from the other end of the line. “re,


    it seems like we’re fated to meet. What are the odds of your stepfather’spany stumbling upon


    mine?”


    At his straightforward remark, rissa finally got the whole picture of the situation.


    After throwing Hry a nce, she got up to head toward the balcony, then said in a cold tone, “Mr.


    Harrison, the Garretts have nothing to do with me. You don’t have to pull tricks like this, thinking it


    would make things difficult for me. Let me tell you—it doesn’t work on me.”


    “Oh, is that so? Since you don’t even care about your biological mother, let’s forget about it. Besides, I


    won’t be the one bing homeless. A meal doesn’t really measure up to apany’s bankruptcy.


    Well, that’s all for now. Goodnight, re.”


    “Mr. Harrison.”


    On the other end of the line, Luke shed a sly smile for his victory because shepromised herself.


    “What’s the location and time?”


    “Seven in the evening tomorrow. I’ll pick you up.”


    rissa immediately refuted, “Let’s make it eight in the evening. I have something going on at seven.”


    “Sure thing. It’s settled then.”


    Hry’s eyes were glowing after rissa ended the call and walked out.


    “You knew the person who sent me back that night was Luke, right? You knew him since the beginning,


    isn’t it?”


    “I…”


    Hry stopped hiding her agenda. “I know him. But I’ve only seen him once. I did not recognize him


    back then. It was only after he made the offer to Zach that I remembered who he is.”


    rissa leaned against the sofa with her eyes closed and said, “You may leave now. I’ve promised to


    have dinner with Luke tomorrow night. As for the project, it’s beyond my reach.”


    “Yes, sure. As long as you ept the invitation. We’ll not pressure you. Thanks a lot, ry. I’ll thank


    you on behalf of the Garretts.”


    rissa remained silent all the way. Wasting no time, Hry left the former’s apartment.


    As soon as Hry arrived at the Garretts, Zach knew went ording to their n because she was all


    smiles.


    “Thanks, Hill. To think that you have to act pitiful.”


    “It’s just a small matter. I can use any means necessary as long as she listens. Still, who would’ve


    thought that Luke would call her? I was so afraid he might spill the beans that it was us who gave the


    suggestion.”


    “You don’t have to worry. Since Luke knows her and has feelings for her, he will know what the things


    are he shouldn’t say. Speaking of which, good thing that you recognized that it was he who sent her


    back that day. Otherwise, we could’ve missed this great opportunity. Hill, you’re really the best wife I


    could ever ask for!”


    Zach hugged Hry intimately and gave her a quick peck on her lips. As she was seeking more of his


    attention, Yvonne got out of the room while ignoring the two’s disy of affection.


    “Hmph! Mr. Harrison is a nice guy. Why should I give him up to rissa? Dad, I like him.”


    Hry remained silent while Zach noted, “I didn’t stop you from approaching Mr. Harrison. But as you


    know, he is not interested in you. Besides, he likes to have fun with women and y with their feelings.


    Do you want to be his victim?”


    Yvonne refused to ept the truth. “Who knows if he’ll fall in love with me and marry me?”


    “In your dreams. Mr. Harrison already has a fiancée, who hails from a prominent family with a strong


    political background. Can youpete with that? It’s fine to set your goals high. But you have to know


    your limits.”


    Yvonne’s conceited heart was brimmed with jealousy. A whileter, she yed a gleeful smug on her


    face.


    “Hmph! So what if she got the looks. At the end of the day, she’s just someone else’s ything. Hry,


    don’te crying at us saying you want to settle the score if your daughter is discarded by Luke one


    day, okay?”


    Hry grinned. “Of course not. That is her destiny. No one is to be med.”


    “Tsk! Tsk! Even a tiger wouldn’t kill its cub! Hry, you’re really heartless! Nevertheless, I love it when


    you’re cruel to her. You two continue with what you were doing. I’m heading out.”


    To leave the housete at night. Surely Yvonne was not nning to go to her usual join.


    Zach nagged at her for a while, but she paid him no heed. After changing into a sexy and revealing


    outfit, she drove off the scene under the night sky.


    The next morning at five, rissa woke up in a sleepy state. After washing up, she took a cab to Zen


    Hignds.


    Around six in the morning, she arrived at the destination and ran into Matthew who was having his


    morning jog.


    rissa was used to staying upte every night, so it was rare for her to be awake at this hour.


    Therefore, she dozed off in the car along the journey. She was lucky that the driver was not a pervert.


    Otherwise, she might end up being brought to some secluded wilderness.


    After getting out of the car, she remained in the same position and yawned without opening her eyes.


    After that, she took a few tottering steps and bumped into a warm body.


    When it happened, she was pulled into that person’s arms.


    It was at that moment that rissa finally opened her eyes. The moment she saw it was Matthew


    before her eyes, she felt relieved and yawned several times.


    “Let me go. I need to prepare breakfast for you.”


    Her tone clearly implied her resentment for him.


    Instead, Matthew’s dark gaze deepened.


    “You came here in this state? Aren’t you afraid that the driver might sell you off somewhere or rape


    you?”


    “Hmm? Well, probably not. I don’t think it’s possible.”


    “rissa, nothing is impossible.”


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


    Matthew’s reproach worsened rissa’s morning grumpiness and she finally snapped.


    “What’s up with you? Does it have anything to do with you even if I was sold off or raped?”


    Upon saying that, her exasperated re met with his eyes for a few seconds.


    rissa gave in after noticing Matthew’s icy stare.


    Oh no! I’m screwed!
