You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 119


    Jeremy returned to the private lounge and took a seat quietly after taking a peek at Matthew with a


    timid smile.


    On the other hand, Yarick focused on finishing his meal because he couldn’t be sure of the things he


    should talk about.


    Lately, the bad-tempered Matthew was in a foul mood. Although they didn’t talk about it, they knew the


    reason behind Matthew’s frustration.


    Therefore, the moment Matthew asked them out for a meal, they showed up without a second thought.


    The session ended up being awkward since they dared not talk about other things.


    Yarick couldn’t stand the awkward silence anymore. He got curious because Jeremy seemed to be in a


    great mood and was all smiles after he returned to them.


    “What’s with the smile? Have you gotten lucky and picked up a bill on your way back?”


    Jeremy picked up the cutleries with a bright grin on his face. He replied nonchntly, “Nope, but I have


    encountered a long-lost friend of mine.”


    “Who is it? Do I know this friend of yours? Why didn’t you get your friend to join us?”


    It was one of Yarick’s attempts to keep things alive because he had enough of the awkward silence. He


    wouldn’t mind having another person around to get himself out of the awkward situation.


    “Oh! I’m talking about rissa! She’s a friend of yours as well, isn’t she? I think she’s here with her


    friends, but I think she has—” Jeremy beamed his reply.


    Turning around and looking in the direction of the entrance of the private lounge, Jeremy chuckled as a


    certain someone had disappeared in the corridor.


    Meanwhile, Yarick started at Jeremy open-mouthed after Matthew’s departure because he couldn’t be


    sure if he was right.


    “Jeremy, was that Matt who had sprinted out?”


    Jeremy shrugged his shoulders and replied nonchntly, “Who else could it be?”


    “He’s very fast…”


    Jeremy continued savoring his meal. He was equally stressed and couldn’t bring himself to finish his


    meal when Matthew was around.


    Therefore, since the source of his distress had departed, he decided to finish his meal as soon as


    possible.


    Yarick was finally in the mood to finish his meal because things were no longer awkward in the lounge.


    He felt a self of relief and crossed his legs, leaning against the chair while serving himself a ss of


    wine.


    “Have you seriously encountered rissa?”


    “Mmm… Judging by her look, I think she’s here for a blind date with someone.”


    “A-A blind date?”


    Yarick choked on his drink. After coughing vigorously, he sighed. “Is she approaching another man


    when Matt has gone to great lengths for her? Tsk! She’s such a heartless woman! Perhaps that’s part


    of a woman’s nature, huh?”


    “Speaking of which, I didn’t expect Matt would take the extra miles for her,” Jeremy added.


    Yarick couldn’t help but express his regret over the things Matthew had done. They were shocked by


    the things Matthew had sacrificed in order to call off his engagement with Shermaine.


    “To be honest, I don’t think I will do such silly things because of such a heartless woman. It’s just not


    worth it, isn’t it?”

    Jeremy rebuked, “I guess he’s the only one to judge if it’s worth it at the end of the day. If he thinks it’s


    worth his time and effort, there’s nothing we can do about it, right? After all, you’re not as capable and


    as loyal as Matt.”


    “Hmph! I still think rissa is but his source of distress! Matt should have stayed away from her!”


    “Oh! Shut up! Let’s keep this conversation between us, okay? rissa may soon be our best friend’s


    official spouse!”


    “Duh? I’m just sharing my honest thoughts with you!” Yarick replied with his lips twitching unwittingly.


    After they wrapped up their conversation, they went dead silent for a long time. Staring at the entrance,


    Yarick broke the silence and asked, “Is Matt going to leave us behind?”


    “What do you think?”


    Yarick suggested, “I guess it’s time for us to leave? Oh my God! You have no idea how intense the past


    hour has been! I couldn’t even enjoy my meal because I was on pins and needles! I was afraid Matt


    would bring up something out of the blue and was constantly on the lookout. It has been such a long


    time since Ist spend time with a woman. Do you know what I have to go through? Ugh!”


    Truth be told, Jeremy shared a simr feeling, but he wasn’t as agitated as Yarick.


    The two miserable friends brought themselves out of the private lounge and thought of visiting different


    pubs to satisfy their physiological needs, getting a fewdies to join them for some fun throughout the


    night.


    Unfortunately, the duo encountered Matthew at the entrance when they were about to leave.


    Matthew, who was right next to the entrance, puffed on his cigarette and seemed extremely depressed,


    emanating a disheartening presence.


    Jeremy and Yarick’s hearts sank when they saw their depressed friend—they would have to call off the


    n they had in mind again.


    After they saw him, Yarick signaled Jeremy to approach Matthew and figure out what happened to him.


    Jeremy had no choice but to brace himself.


    He asked, “Matt, didn’t you get her? Why don’t you drop by rissa’s ce and pay her a visit? Do


    you want me to send someone to go after her?”


    Actually, it wouldn’t be much of a challenge to get their hands on rissa’s address. Matthew could


    easily get his hands on it, but Jeremy indicated the former should drop by the woman’s ce and


    approach her in person.


    In spite of Jeremy’s suggestion, Matthew remained silent with his abysmal pair of eyes flickering in


    disappointment.


    Yarick had to keep Jeremypany because there wasn’t anything he could do about it.


    “You guys should leave,” Matthew stated and set the seemingly pathetic duo free.


    Be it he would drop by rissa’s ce in person or continue sulking over the miseries she had brought


    upon him. They knew they should stop getting in Matthew’s way.


    …


    Meanwhile, as soon as rissa returned to her ce, she received a call from her mother.


    After she picked up the call, a middle-aged woman’s voice could be heard, asking excitedly, “ry, how


    did things turn out? Mr. Goldstein has yet to revert back to me, but what do you think?”


    Hry couldn’t wait to figure out the oue of the blind date.


    rissa chuckled when she recalled the time she spent with the man. “Mom, can you believe it? He


    actually picked on my look and called me a horrendous woman.”


    “Are you serious? You’re definitely above average in terms of look! ry, please tell me it’s not one of


    your lies to deceive me.”


    “Why would I deceive you? If you have any doubts, why don’t you approach the mediator? He started


    picking on me because my skin has a rtively darker tone after I spent most of my time under the sun


    lately. Pardon me for being honest, but I think he has irrationally high standards.”


    “What the heck? If you’re a horrendous woman, I guess the rest of the women on this have no


    right to consider themselves pretty! Hmph! I was never fond of him either! He’s merely a stingy


    nouveau riche! I’m afraid you’re going to suffer for the rest of your life if you get into a rtionship with


    that nouveau riche. Don’t worry, ry. Let’s call it a day and take a breather for the time being. I want


    you to take good care of your look and impress the next candidate I have for you!”


    After the conversation with Hry, rissa cast her phone aside and giggled before making her way


    into the bathroom.


    Minutes after she took her shower and returned to her room, she noticed she had a missed call. Her


    eyes gleamed when she took a peek at the caller. However, she decided to ignore the call.


    She initiated a video call session with Ellie and shared the first thing she had to go through after she


    made her way back to D City was a blind date with a stranger. rissa made fun of everything and


    shared the hrious experience and odd behaviors of Mr. Goldstein with Ellie.


    “Ellie, how I wish you were there to witness his disgusted look when he started picking on me! Hahaha!


    I guess he must be thinking I was just another gold-digger who had approached him for his wealth!


    Hahaha!”


    rissa went on and on for a long time, but Ellie, who was on the other end of the call, seemed to be


    rtively dull.


    “What’s wrong, Ellie? Did something happen?”


    Ellie fell silent for a few seconds before asking in return, “Not really. Aren’t you tired? You have just


    gone on a blind date right after your flight touched down. Haven’t you always been against the blind


    date your mother has set you up?”


    “I’m still pretty much against the idea, but if I don’t give in to her demand, she won’t stop pestering me.


    Since I have given it a try, I guess she’ll give up on trying anything silly in the future. It’s not a big deal


    —it’s just a meal with a stranger. Eventually, she’ll give up.”


    Ellie muttered her reply, “Oh… I guess that’s not a bad idea…”


    Judging by the dispirited tone of Ellie, rissa knew it would be better for her to wrap up the


    conversation. After another few minutes, she hung up the call and decided to call it a day.


    Heaving a long sigh, she returned to her bed and tucked herself in.


    Actually, judging by Ellie’s hesitated response, she knew the thing the dispirited girl had in her mind,


    but she decided not to talk about it.


    She had made her way back to D City because of the promise she had with Hry. Otherwise, she


    wouldn’t stay in D City either.


    As soon as her mother surrendered, rissa would make her way back to W City and y the role of a


    filial digital shut-in by her grandmother’s side. Apart from her work, she didn’t want to be bothered by


    anything else.


    Speaking of which, I guess it’s time for me to put on some whitening mask. I can’t show up in front of


    others with this sun-skinned skin.


    …


    Ryler asked rissa out for a session in person once he made his way back to D City.


    They decided to meet in a deste club. The moment rissa showed up, she teased, “Mr. Cooper,


    do you know what I have to go through to reach here? I was on pins and needles and had to be on the


    lookout because I was afraid paparazzi were after me!”


    Ryler served rissa a cup of aromatic tea.


    “Since when have you learned to enjoy a cup of tea? Anyway, it’s great! It smells wonderful!” rrisa


    was delighted.


    “I’m d you like it. Grandma told me you’re no longer in a rtionship. Is it true?”


    rissa rolled her eyes because Ryler brought up the topic she wished to avoid the most. “Yes, what


    about it? Are you going to gloat over my misfortune?”


    “I’m actually quite happy because I have the chance since you’re single again,” Ryler replied with a grin


    rissa took a sip of the aromatic tea and savored the lingering scent of it.


    “Ry, since you have brought this up, I’ll be frank, okay? Things will never work out between us because


    you’re, at most, a brother from a different mother of mine.”


    Ryler responded with a self-deprecating smirk because he had been anticipating her rejection all along.


    “Since you can’t take my joke, I guess I’ll stop messing around with you. You better not regret your


    decision, okay? You’re going to miss out on the most sought-after celebrity in showbiz! Do you know


    how many people are lining up just to spend a night in bed with me? You should consider yourself lucky


    and appreciate your one and only opportunity!”


    “Ry, if that’s the case, why are you still single?”


    After exchanging nces, they burst intoughter. They could make fun of their past because they had


    moved on.


    Eventually, Ryler talked about rissa’s movie production experience with Justin. He was d to


    figure out she managed to impress Justin.


    Over the cup of tea, they caught up with one another and talked for a long time. Halfway through their


    session, someone knocked on the door.


    A few secondster, Yarick walked into the private lounge and eximed, “What a coincidence,


    rissa!”


    rissa secretly rolled her eyes and resented D City for being such a small city. Literally, she would


    encounter her acquaintances wherever she was.


    “Hello, Mr. Payne!”


    The duo in the lounge greeted Yarick simultaneously, but Yarick ignored Ryler and had his eyes glued


    to rissa, behaving enthusiastically.


    “Join me for another cup of tea, rissa! Why didn’t you contact me beforehand? I’ll get my men to


    keep an eye on you and waive the entrance fee for you in the future! When are you leaving? I’ll get


    them to pack you your favorite tea!”


    “Thanks, but no thanks, Mr. Payne. Your hospitality won’t be necessary. I’m merely here once in a


    while.”


    “Huh? Please don’t be so polite whenever you’re around me!”


    After being courteous for a few minutes, Yarick asked out of the blue, “Are you guys done? If you’re


    done, why don’t you leave us alone, Ryler? I have something regarding the tea to talk about with


    rissa!”


    Those present in the private lounge were conscious it was but an out blunt lie.
