You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 121
Those who knew the things that had urred between the duo couldn’t wait to figure out rissa’s
response.
Meanwhile, Ya noticed the odd responses from the bigshots around her ever since rissa showed
up and joined them.
Therefore, she was shocked because rissa seemed to be acquainted with the powerful figures. As a
matter of fact, they seemed to be close acquaintances.
Evidently, it was a challenge from Jeremy. He wanted to force rissa into submission and confronted
her in front of others.
Matthew cast an indifferent gaze at rissa with his abysmal pair of eyes that seemed to hold an entire
universe in it. He behaved nonchntly in anticipation of her reply.

“Ms. Zaha, can you introduce me to the celebrity over there? I have always been a huge fan of his! Can
you please get him to take a photo with me?” rissa beamed and diverted Ya’s attention.
Ya was taken aback by the non-relevant request. Seconds after she snapped out of confusion, she
stated, “O-Okay… S-Sure…”
Before she could grasp the situation, rissa had dragged Ya along with her and made their way
over to the celebrity’s side. rissa ended up behaving timidly like an embarrassed child.
Jeremy and the rest of his party were left behind, rendered speechless by rissa’s response.
That’s it? Is she going to ignore him and pretend he isn’t here?
Cough!
Jeremy couldn’t handle the awkwardness due to rissa’s unexpected response—it was beyond his
expectation for rissa to think out of the box. She actually ignored the question that was directed at
her.
He was intimidated and dared not look in Matthew’s direction.
Yarick had long departed with the influencers he had brought along with him. He knew it would be
better to stay away from Matthew for the time being. To be precise, it would be wise to neglect Matthew
until the conflict he had with rissa was resolved.
Jeremy caressed his nose embarrassedly and said, “Matt, I think the celebrity they’re talking about is
the on-the-rise actor. However, he’s way younger than rissa. He’s nothing more than a brat, so you
don’t have to be worried.”
In short, Jeremy implied the celebrity wasn’t a match for Matthew in multiple different aspects. rissa
had merely approached him to have some fun.
In the end, rissa started wrapping her arm around the celebrity’s shoulders in front of others with a
bright grin. Her glistering pair of eyes gleamed in excitement because she was head over heels for him.
Things had gotten inexplicably awkward.
Jeremy dared not say anything else because he was afraid things would spiral out of his control soon.
He found Yarick’s statement urate. rissa was a cold-hearted woman. In fact, cold-hearted might
not be enough to justify her cruelty.
I guess I’ll have to leave the rest to Matt and stop being a busybody!
Jeremy nced at Matthew and noticed thetter almost crushed the goblet. Although he had been
trying his best to suppress his emotions, he couldn’t stop himself from emanating a menacing aura,
intimidating those around him. Jeremy couldn’t take it anymore and headed elsewhere with his partner.
He secretly prayed Matthew wouldn’t lose his cool and went berserk in front of others. After all, Jeremy
was the one who had requested Ya to conduct the birthday banquet. If things headed South, he
would have a hard time exining himself.
“William, I’m impressed by your role as the prince! You have no idea how good-looking you are! Most
importantly, your acting is spot on! Forgive me for being frank, but you look so much more handsome in
person! I’m a huge fan of yours!”
rissa started behaving like a hardcore fan of William. She felt a strong urge to cradle the handsome
man in her arms.
On the other hand, William was fond of rissa due to her gentle temperament. Heplimented
rissa for a job well done as the screenwriter.
asionally, Ya would join the duo’s conversation, but she noticed the most attractive man of the
banquet wouldn’t stop looking in their direction.
To be precise, he couldn’t move his eyes away from rissa.
When Ya recalled rissa had neglected Matthew on purpose, she was certain something fishy
was going on between the duo.
Nheless, she couldn’t figure out the sort of rtionship the duo had with one another.
Matthew is Shermaine’s fiancé, whereas rissa is merely a trivial screenwriter. She’s nothing more
than a close friend of Justin, isn’t she? Could it be…
Ya started ruling out the possibilities in her mind. Judging by the passionate gaze the man had when
the woman showed up in front of him, she knew something was off.
Tsk! Tsk! This is getting increasingly interesting!
After a short while, William excused himself and engaged in a conversation with others. rissa felt
embarrassed because she had been keeping him to herself for such a long time. When she turned
around and caught the odd look of Ya, she responded with a sheepish grin.
“Ms. Zaha, what’s wrong? Is there something on my face? Has my make-up smudged?”
Ya shook her head and started sizing rissa up over from head to toe. A few secondster, she
turned around and looked at Matthew, who was quite a distance away.
rissa decided to y dumb and asked, “Ms. Zaha, your birthday is quite some time away, isn’t it?
Aren’t we at least a few weeks away from your actual date of birth?”
“Well, can’t we celebrate in advance? Since we’re going to be upied with different things soon. I
thought it would be better to hold a birthday banquet when everyone had a rtively free schedule! I
gotta make the most out of the banquet, aye?” Ya dead-panned her reply.
“H-Haha… You’re being pretty humorous tonight, Ms. Zaha.”
“Actually, it’s the truth. I’m able to generate a fortune by holding this birthday banquet.”
Jeremy was the one who insisted on holding the birthday banquet. Apart from financial gains, she
managed to do Jeremy a favor and get him to owe her once.
Indirectly, she had secured an opportunity in a lifetime for herself, and all she had to do was to y
along with the man with deep pockets.
She finally figured out the reason he brought up the request to hold the birthday banquet out of the
blue.
It turned out rissa’s rtionship with Matthew was the sole reason the grand birthday banquet was
held in the first ce.
rissa’s values in life werepletely ruined when she heard Ya’s realistic statement.
“You’re not shocked, are you? If I’m getting married in the future, I’ll throw another grand wedding
ceremony to generate a fortune! You know what? This is easy cash, easier than spending our time
producing movies!” Ya added with a smirk.
rissa showed Ya a big thumbs up.
When Ya was about to say something, she was dragged away by someone. Since rissa had
nothing to do, she started drinking and savoring the dishes that were served. Throughout the entire
session, she could feel the man’s gaze. Although most of the guests weren’t aware of Matthew’s actual
identity, they knew he must be an influential figure since Jeremy and Yarick had to take him seriously.
Since the mysterious figure wouldn’t move his eyes away from an unknown yet ethereal-looking
woman, the guests noticed rissa’s presence and started imagining things.
To get herself out of the embarrassing situation, she walked out of the banquet hall. Otherwise, things
would get to the point of no return should he keep staring at her.
Holding on to the train of her evening gown, she made her way past the guests and strode in the
direction of the balcony. The moment she walked out of the heater-equipped hall, she started shivering
when she felt the chilling breeze.
Even though she couldn’t stop shivering, she felt afresh like never before. She finally had a chance to
take a breather and collect her thoughts.
She would always overthink things in the evening. It took her a lot of effort to restrain herself from being
overwhelmed by the tidal waves of emotions associated with her rtionship with Matthew. rissa
had been having it tough, pretending to be an indifferent woman around Matthew.
The gorgeous scenery of stars shining bright in the pitch-ck sky seemed so surreal as though it was
a painting.
Achoo!
rissa caressed her nose after she started sneezing. She thought it would be better for her to leave
the balcony.
However, she could feel a warming sensation on her shoulders and neck when that particr thought
crossed her mind. She caught a whiff of an awfully familiar scent.
She was startled for a short while. When she turned around, her eyes came into contact with Matthew’s
abysmal pair of eyes.
For the first time over the past few hours, she decided to stop avoiding his gaze.
rissa removed the man’s jacket and handed it back to him. “Thanks, Mr. Tyson, but that won’t be
necessary. I’ll be leaving soon.”
Things got awkward because he refused to take it back when she tried to hand it back to him.
Smirking, rissa cast the jacket in Matthew’s direction.
He had no intention to take it back. As a result, it slid down his body and fell to the ground.
rissa couldn’t be bothered by it at all. When she wanted to return to the banquet hall, she walked
past Matthew and stepped on his dinner jacket. It seemed to be unintentional, but she paused for a few
seconds before stepping forward.
She had made up her mind to leave, but she wouldn’t get to leave because of the man behind her.
When she was a step away from the hall, Matthew wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her
backward, causing her to fall in between his arms.
rissa’s face puckered. As a result of the man’s powerful grip on her wrist, she almost coughed up
the food she had savored.
They were in an intimate posture as Matthew supported her back, causing her to start squeezing the
muscles of her inner thighs, back, and buttocks.
He leaned over and ran his lips across her ears. However, he remained silent throughout the entire
session. All she could feel was the man’s heavy breath by her ear.
rissa mustered her strength to shrug Matthew off, but she was merely a powerless woman as
compared to the strong man.
She had to give up. A few seconds of silenceter, her heart skipped a beat when she heard the man’s
hoarse and seductive voice.
“Finally decided to stop struggling?”
Her legs almost turned to jelly, but she tried her best to get a grip on herself. She refused to be
vulnerable in front of him.
She put on a strong front and demanded, “Mr. Tyson, if you don’t move away from me, I’m afraid I’ll
have to shout for help.”
“Why don’t you go ahead and give it a try?”
She took a deep breath and asked, “Mr. Tyson, do you think things will turn out differently? Aren’t you
afraid the guests will tell your fiancée you’re holding another in between your arms? I have nothing to
lose.”
“I’m so sorry to share this with you, but I don’t have one as of now.”
“Are you going to pretend Shermaine is dead?”
“She’s alive and kicking, but I’m telling you I don’t have a fiancée.”
“Are you trying to deceive me again?” rissa got infuriated and raised her volume, confronting the
man.
“It’s not my fault if you fall for words, isn’t it?” Matthew replied nonchntly and made himself clear in a
serious manner.
“Ha!” rissa responded with a scornful look.
She retaliated against the man and pinched his arms with the nails she had been keeping for some
time without holding back. The infuriated woman wished she possessed the impregnable nails of a
vampire, capable of ripping the man behind her into pieces within seconds.
Perhaps it was due to the nature of her job as a screenwriter. She started imagining the blood and gore
scenes of the movies she used to produce some time ago. Immediately after she snapped out of
confusion, she stopped herself and slightly unfastened her grip.
“Please let go of me, Mr. Tyson! Although I’m not a smart woman, I won’t allow you to mess with me
and treat me like a child! I will never go back against my words! Since we have broken up, it’s over
between us! Please stay away from me in the future! How many times do I have to repeat myself,
Matthew?”
rissa wasn’t aware of the changes in Matthew’s expression since he was behind her. However, she
could feel his heavy breath as he started panting heavily.
She paid no heed to the man’s odd behavior and tried to shrug him off once again. Since he didn’t even
budge, she started pinching and punching him, going berserk to express her suppressed frustration,
behaving like a maniac.
