You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 86


    Matthew’s dark eyes gleamed when theynded on rissa’s body, as desire emerged within the


    depths of his gaze.


    She was torn between exining herself and wrapping some clothes around her body first.


    However, Matthew snatched the choice out of her hands.


    He strode toward her and leaned down, smashing his lips onto hers and running his hands all over her


    body before she could speak.


    rissa’s protests were muffled as she tried to resist him, but it only prompted him to tighten his hold


    on her and be more unrestrained in his actions.


    After a long time, her eyes shimmered with unshed tears. Her lips were swollen. All in all, she looked


    extremely pitiful.


    She stared at Matthew with an usatory glint in her eyes. Unbeknownst to her, the way she looked


    right now intensified his desire to conquer her.


    Leaning down again, his hot breath tickled her lips before he bit down.


    He finally relented when the woman whimpered in pain.


    rissa forcefully shoved him away. Her body was half-exposed, which proved dangerous when within


    the vicinity of this man. Without a second’s dy, she ran into the room and changed into long-sleeved


    pajamas.


    Naturally, she managed to untangle herself from him only because he allowed it.


    When she emerged again, Matthew was sittingzily on the sofa with his shirt cor wide open and his


    long legs elegantly crossed. Sensing her presence, he lifted his gaze to her, beckoning her in a rich


    and seductive voice, “Come here, re.”


    rissa obediently padded over, but sat across from him to create a safe distance between them.


    Matthew’s lips tugged upward, and he chuckled softly as his scorching gazended on her.


    Feeling restless, rissa kept fidgeting in her seat. In the end, she snatched up the tablet and held it in


    front of her, ignoring him altogether.


    Besides the sound of the variety show ying on the tablet, silence was their onlypanion.


    Finally, rissa could no longer take the weight of his gaze.


    She ced the tablet back down and red daggers at him.


    “What exactly are you looking at?”


    Matthew smiled cryptically and narrowed his eyes a fraction. With a hand supporting his chin, he


    answered in a deep voice, “You.”


    Yeah, no sh*t.


    Of course she knew he was looking at her.


    “What I meant was, why are you looking at me like that? What’s so nice to look at?”


    He raised his brows as his eyes darkened with amusement.


    “Aren’t you nice to look at?”


    She was inarticte for a moment before blurting out, “Lame!”


    Blushing furiously, rissa shot up from her seat, trying her best to conceal her red cheeks as she


    swiveled around to go back to the bedroom. Before long, Matthew followed in after her.


    She wasn’t na?ve to think that he would leave tonight. In fact, she hade to terms with it.


    Truth be told, his embrace gave her a sense of security if he didn’t start getting handsy with her.


    Given that they were spending the whole night in the same bed, Matthew felt he had to do right by the


    gorgeousdy in his arms.


    In the end, rissa couldn’t help but retort, “Just how did you survive thest thirty years or so of your


    life? People even said that you’re a master of self-control? More like master of hiding your true colors.”


    She poked his chest and red fiercely at him. However, she looked charming and adorable rather


    than intimidating.


    Matthew couldn’t help but admire his self-restraint. With such an appealing woman in his arms, it was a


    wonder he could still refrain from forcing himself on her.


    He ran his hands down her back and said in a husky voice, “I wasn’t hiding my true colors. It’s just that


    a pretty little vixen like you has never appeared in my life.”


    “Pfft… So I’m a vixen now?”


    rissa couldn’t stifle herughter. “I’m a good girl, mind you. You’re the shameless


    one, Uncle Matthew. Back then, I didn’t even think about you that way.”


    “Oh, really? Not at all? Then why did you keep showing up in front of me? And dressed so seductively


    at that too.”


    “Se… Seductive? Me? No, wait. That’s not the point. The point is, since when did I show up in front of


    you? That was all just a coincidence! A coincidence!”


    rissa emphasized thest word, unable to take this sort of usation lying down.


    “Matthew, you can’t still be thinking that I approached you on purpose, right?”


    rissa was upset when she thought about this. She sat up in bed, wanting to make things clear once


    and for all.


    N?velD(ram)a.?rg owns this content.


    Matthew broke into a cryptic smile as he folded his arms behind his head.


    “It wasn’t you. I was the one who approached you on purpose.”


    He didn’t sound like he meant it at all.


    rissa wrinkled her nose and curled her lips in anger. After a loud harrumph, she turned around and


    lay down on the bed again, so that her back was to him.


    When he hugged her from behind, she shook his arms away unhappily.


    Matthew chuckled and gently kissed the top of her head before drifting off into a deep slumber.


    …


    Since rissa didn’t need to go in for work now, she was free to do whatever she wanted, which


    included sleeping in.


    Unfortunately, she was woken up by Matthew’s continuously teasing early in the morning. She couldn’t


    go back to sleep after that, no matter how much she wanted to.


    By the time she saw him out of the house, she was fully awake. Hence, she powered on herptop to


    study the previous copy of her book Princess.


    Now that she hadpletely terminated her contract with Twilight Company, she had to do everything


    herself.


    However, if she were to coborate with Justin Yates Studio, her priority would be doing a good job in


    producing the adapted screeny.


    As for the promotional strategies and copyright issues, she had to take her time to find a manager for


    herself.


    In the afternoon, she went to the studio to meet Justin. Neither of them liked beating around the bush,


    or they wouldn’t have expressed their admiration for each other.


    They talked about the script, went over some areas that needed to be revised and others where they


    had a difference in opinion, with Justin giving rissa a definitive answer at the end.


    “I’m on board with using this script for my film. Of course, it still needs to be adapted. Since this is your


    work, I’ll let you run point. Also, what do you think of working together with an editor from my studio?


    Rest assured, you’ll still be the one calling the shots, but there might be some shooting issues to be


    addressed, so you’ll need tomunicate with someone from my side.”


    There was no reason for rissa to reject. She was over the moon because if she could be a


    screenwriter for Justin, her life would beplete.


    “Mr. Yates, I’m more than happy to ept your offer. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”


    Justin smiled in return. “We’re both giving each other an opportunity here. I hope we can resolve the


    issues with the script as soon as possible. There is still much work to be done and of course, money


    isn’t a problem.”


    His smile made rissa a little embarrassed.


    She even tried to exin. “Mr. Yates, my rtionship with Uncle Matthew affects nothing else.”


    “I understand, rissa. I didn’t mean it like that, but I’m d that I get to work together with Matthew’s


    girlfriend.”


    “Well, we haven’t made our rtionship public yet, Mr. Yates. Anyway, please feel free to call me


    ‘ry’.”


    Justin was intrigued. It seems like this youngdy has her own way of thinking.


    “Sure, ry. I’m not sure how many awards we can bag with this film adaptation, but at least I can


    assure you that your hard work won’t be destroyed, so thank you for your trusting me. I’ll have


    someone draft the contractter. Once we’ve signed it, we’ll officially be partners.”


    “Alright. Thank you for giving me this opportunity too, Mr. Yates.”


    After conveying their gratitude to each other, rissa left Justin Yates Studio with excitement bubbling


    in her.


    She habitually shared this piece of good news with Ellie, who offered to throw a celebration.


    However, after hanging up the call, rissa suddenly thought of Matthew.


    There was one more person in her life now, and she had vowed to slowly ease him into her world.


    With that thought in mind, rissa dialed Matthew’s number.


    “Uncle Matthew, I have some good news for you.”


    Matthew cocked a brow. “What is it?”


    “Director Yates and I are going to sign a contract soon. Awesome, right? Hehe… Even I think I’m


    awesome. After he produces the film adaptation of my work, I’ll be even more famous. And if he


    receives an award for it, I might very well go international. Haha! Before long, I’ll be promoted to a


    manager and get a pay raise, then I’ll be appointed as CEO. I’ll marry my Mr. Perfect and reach the


    prime of my life… I’m getting excited just thinking about it!”


    Matthew chuckled lowly, his rich and deep voice making rissa’s body tingle slightly.


    She pouted even though he couldn’t see her. “Why are youughing?”


    “Who are you nning to marry?”


    rissa was rendered speechless.


    She stuck her tongue out and retorted, “That was just a joke. I didn’t mean anything by it.”


    “Mm, then I’ll have to tell Justin to hurry up.”


    “Why?”


    “Because once he wraps up filming, you can reach the prime of your life sooner and… marry me


    sooner?”


    rissa’s face heated up and she hastily brushed it off. “Hey, I told you that was just a joke.”


    He chuckled devilishly on the other end of the line and purred, “I look forward to the day you realize


    your dreams.”


    rissa stuck out her tongue again. Who said I wanna marry you? I’m not even sure how long we’ll


    last. She never expected that they couldst until the end, but she wanted to cherish the present and


    treat each other with sincerity. At least for now.


    rissa had made dinner ns with Matthew that night. She arrived at the restaurant first, only to run


    into Ellie’s parents at the entrance.


    She was thrown into a frenzy, but after reassuring herself that they probably knew nothing, she went up


    to greet them with, feeling jittery.


    “Mr. and Mrs. Tyson.”


    “Oh, ry? What a coincidence. Are you here for dinner? Is it with Ellie or some other friends?”


    “Uhm… It’s with another friend of mine.”


    When Yuliana saw the uneasy look on rissa’s face and the light blush on her cheeks, she knew the


    latter was embarrassed to borate on this friend of hers.


    Hence, Yuliana did not make things difficult for her. After chatting with rissa for a while, the husband


    and wife entered the restaurant.


    rissa breathed a sigh of relief, grateful that they did not prod further.


    Yuliana and Matthias were immediately led to a private lounge upon entering the restaurant. “I think


    ry is seeing someone, don’t you think so? Look at her. She’s such a well-behaved and beautiful


    lady. Now, she has a boyfriend too. And then, there’s our daughter. They are good friends, but look how


    Ellie is still fooling around outside. When is she going to settle down with a man?”


    Matthiasughed softly. “Ellie knows what she’s doing. Why are you so anxious?”


    Yuliana sighed in response. “Fine, fine. We won’t talk about Ellie today. Mr. and Mrs. Smallwood


    probably invited us here for dinner because of Matthew again. What are they expecting from us? It’s


    not like we can change the fact that he doesn’t like Shermaine. I bet they’re going to threaten or bribe


    us. Shouldn’t they know better than to do that?”
