You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 98


    Unwittingly, she had expressed her thoughts aloud, causing Matthew to chuckle with amusement.


    It’s no wonder this woman writes novels. She has such an active imagination.


    And this isn’t a fetish.


    Before meeting rissa, he did not have such a fetish at all.


    He simply liked her and wanted to be close to her at all times. Even hugging like this brought him


    happiness and contentment.


    In the past, Matthew never understood why men and women often indulged in sex and intimacy. He


    just couldn’t see the point in it.


    To him, women were nothing special other than the fact that they had some advantages over men.


    Hence, he was often called the master of abstinence as he remained unmoved by the allure of the


    opposite sex.


    However, when he fell for the woman in his arms, his eyes were finally opened to the appeal of the


    female sex.


    Of course, that only applied to the love of his life.


    Besides rissa, no other woman could captivate him.


    Matthew hugged rissa tightly and whispered his answer into her ear.


    “re, I don’t have a fetish for hugging things, and hugging you isn’t a fetish either. It’s because I like


    you, so I constantly want to be by your side.”


    I think we’re soulmates.


    When two people are truly in love, they’d constantly want to be by each other’s sides.


    I didn’t think that Matthew would feel the same way.


    “Hehe…”


    Tickled pink, rissa giggled uncontrobly and wrapped both arms around Matthew, acting coy as


    she hugged him tightly.


    “Uncle Matthew, my thoughts exactly. Our hearts are connected!”


    “Really? Then you should stay by my side at all times. After all, you can work anywhere as long as you


    have aptop, right?”


    He’s just pushing it now!


    I should’ve known that he’d use my words to his advantage.


    “I don’t wanna.”


    Matthew snorted with discontent. “What happened to ‘our hearts are connected’?”


    “Yeah, but that doesn’t mean we should be with each other every second of the day! We possibly have


    a whole lifetime to be together, so there’s no need to follow each other around day and night, don’t you


    think so?”


    “Since you’ve put it like that, what else is there for me to say?”


    rissa broke into a triumphant smile. “Absence makes the heart fonder! We should keep an


    appropriate distance from each other to maintain the romance in our rtionship. For example, let’s


    meet once a week? Or twice? Or we could sleep in separate rooms. Hey, I remember you promised me


    that we’d sleep in separate rooms-”


    That was the end of their one-sided discussion as Matthew shut her up the usual way.


    Absence makes the heart grow fonder? Maintain the romance? This is all utter b*llsh*t!


    …


    rissa was trending on the inte again. Although she was not the first nor second on the list, she


    was still trending nheless.


    It was because a buyer had posted a screenshot saying that she was mesmerized by this beautiful


    youngdy and bought a bunch of clothes as a result. Later on, she posted aparison review which


    turned out to be an appalling sight to behold.


    Even so, she expressed that she would continue to stan this live broadcast host and buy whatever


    clothes she wore.


    And the beautiful youngdy in question only went by the name re and was known to be a personal


    model for a clothing business. The buyer also stated that one could go to the store’s official website to


    save more of re’s high-definition photos as a private collection.


    When rissa saw this hot topic, she couldn’t help but wonder if this was a bad year for her.


    Otherwise, why would she keep trending on the inte for no apparent reason?


    Following this hot topic were many discussions among some insiders, rissa’s ex-ssmates, and


    friends.


    This is the campus belle of D University from back then. Her yearbook photo is proof that she’s both


    beautiful and smart!


    Wow! re is so awesome! She graduated from a prestigious university!


    So what if she graduated from a prestigious university? Nowadays, people like them only prostitute


    themselves after joining the society.


    To thementer above, you’re just jealous. It’s obvious you don’t have the looks or the brains, so get


    outta here!


    After a detailed examination, I found no traces of stic surgery. She’s an all-natural beauty. I’m


    officially a fan! Can I have re’s Twitter and phone number? Please notice me, re!


    rissa felt relieved that none of them knew her full name and hence, would not be able to link her to


    her Twitter ount that had the username @rissa.quigley.


    You’re all idiots. Men always fall head over heels for beautiful women like her. I was in the same school


    as she and I witnessed her toying with countless boys. She enjoyed having them eat out of her hand,


    basking in all the attention they gave her. She even turned on one of her ssmates by stealing her


    boyfriend. A few days ago, we met again at an ex-ssmate’s wedding. She has a sugar daddy and


    was even so smug about it.


    That makes sense. Women like her are only nice to look at but are actually revolting on the inside.


    B*llsh*t. Do you have evidence to back that?


    I don’t believe that. re is always so shy. During the live broadcast, she was blushing the whole time


    and it didn’t look like she was faking it.


    You fell for that? Please, she’s just good at pretending.


    Nah, I don’t care whether she was pretending. I’m re’s fan because of that perfect face of hers


    anyway.


    …


    There were all kinds ofments, both positive and negative. Reading those nasty baseless remarks,


    rissa couldn’t help but feel uneasy.


    Later on, she gave up reading thements altogether to save herself the stress.


    Inevitably, she became more and more disappointed in the people who surfed the inte.


    Ellie called her right then because of that trending topic.


    “Do you want me to get someone to take it down? It started because of me anyway.”


    rissa pondered for a moment. “Can this help bring in sales for you? Does it benefit you?”


    “Yeah, it does, but I won’t do anything you don’t like.”


    “I know, but since it’s already out, don’t bother about it. I’m just a small fry anyway, so the hype would


    probably die down very soon. Might as well make full use of it to gain some fame and sales for your


    business, so let’s just leave it.”


    Ellie giggled. “Then I’ll give you a big assmission!”


    “Obviously, or I won’t help you anymore in the future,” rissa joked, thinking that this topic was over.


    To her shock, Ellie brought up Helen all of a sudden.

    “By the way, I saw one of thements talking about an ex-ssmate’s wedding, so I suddenly


    remembered that Helen’s wedding was a few days ago, right? So you attended?”


    rissa hesitated for a while before replying, “Yeah, but I left very early.”


    Panic-stricken, she answered warily, afraid that she might slip up and Ellie would sense something


    amiss.


    “Oh, she invited me too but I didn’t bother to go. I mean, she has such poor judgment. She held a


    grudge against you because of that scumbag, right? But you actually went to her wedding? Are you


    stupid or what? Look, they’re spreading false rumors about you, saying that you have a sugar daddy


    and all those. That b*tch who wrote it better not let me find out who she is or I’ll kill her myself.”


    “Okay, okay. This matter is in the past, so let’s not dwell on it. What about you? Have you found the


    person who set you up?” rissa changed the topic.


    “No, and from what I can see, it’s that pretentious Shawn Hayes who thinks he’s some kind of great


    detective. What the hell? He’s just a measly Captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit, but he always


    acts so cockily. Who does he think he is?”


    As Ellie grumbled non-stop, rissa was bewildered. Didn’t they only meet once? Why does she have


    such a strong opinion against him?


    Little did she know, Ellie and Shawn had met more than once, not to mention they had conflicts with


    each other.


    What was more, they would even get more involvedter on.


    Of course, this would only happen further into the future.


    Sure enough, the trending topic about rissa did notst long.


    But of course, some would stille across it from time to time.


    When Shermaine found out that rissa made it to the trending list just from selling clothes on a live


    broadcast, her heart swelled with displeasure.


    Seeing her assistant so engrossed with watching rissa, Shermaine snatched her phone out of her


    hands and threw it harshly onto the ground.


    “Why are you watching her? Is she prettier than me? Huh? Get out! Get out right now! As my assistant,


    how dare you watch someone else besides me? You’re not qualified for this job. You can forget about


    setting foot in this industry from now on! Get lost!”


    Her assistant started crying and scurried off.


    Before long, Lizzie came over with a helpless look on her face. Why is she so riled up over a pretty


    girl? Besides, there are many girls who are much prettier than her anyway, so why does she hate


    rissa so much? Why does she keep targeting rissa?


    “Shermaine, I heard about what happened from Chloe. It’s just a trending topic, and it’s not even


    among the top ones. Why do you even care?”


    “I just do. I hate her and I want to destroy her!”


    Shermaine did not know why she hated rissa with a passion; she just did. She did not tell anyone


    that her hatred for rissa was in fact a gut feeling. rissa gave her a sense of familiarity the first


    time she saw her, but for some reason, she felt threatened by rissa’s existence and was


    antagonized by her beauty.


    Hence, she wanted to stomp on rissa at every chance she got.


    Thest time when rissa had a dispute with Twilight Company about her contract termination,


    Shermaine had hired someone to nder her. Upon seeing how badly thetter was cursed at,


    Shermaine was in high spirits for the next few days and was easy to work with during filming.


    However, all the nderous information was deleted after that. Shermaine surmised that rissa had


    gone to Ellie for help, so she did not continue attacking.


    She never expected that rissa would be so difficult to deal with. She had emerged once again and


    Shermaine couldn’t stand the sight of it.


    “Lizzie, I hate her. I really, really hate her. I can’t stand the sight of her face. It’s too perfect, really.


    There’s no way she can be so perfect…”


    Lizzie could somewhat guess what Shermaine when thinking when she heard this. She shuddered


    involuntarily.


    Lizzie did not dare to say anything nor advise her against whatever was going through her mind.


    Fortunately, Shermaine did not continue talking about it. “Get me a new assistant.”


    “Sure.”


    “Today’s thest day of filming, right?”


    Shermaine fluffed up her hair and stered a smile onto her face.


    “Great. Finally, it’s over. I’m dead tired. I won’t ept any TV series roles from now on. They don’t


    meet my standards, especially the ridiculous script rissa wrote. It’s childish and substandard. Those


    investors must be a bunch of fools.”


    Lizzie pursed her lips. They are no fools. They know that this series can sell. Besides, it’s a good script.


    It’s a shame Shermaine can’t see that.


    In fact, isn’t the Justin Yates film she’s nning to star in also written by rissa?
