You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 194


    Gina was not about to waste time being polite.


    Although Luke was a handful, he was still no match for someone like Gina. He eventually stopped


    being able to dodge her blows as effectively and fell right in the way of her fists.


    Gina had acted out on her own, but rissa did nothing to stop her.


    If rissa said nothing, Gina would not bother stopping either.


    Soon, the air was filled with Luke’s embarrassing cries for mercy, which rissa took great pride in.


    With a giggle, she said, “Alright, Gina.”


    With that, Gina immediately stopped.


    Luke was left on the ground, panting and bleeding from the corner of his lips as well as his nose. He


    quickly stood up and wiped the blood off, ncing at a smiling rissa.


    However, he seemed to not be angered. He smirked and gave rissa a pained smile.


    “re, that wasn’t very nice. How cruel of you.”


    “Consider that a fair warning, Mr. Harrison. Watch your tongue.”


    “But I’m telling the truth for your own good. Between you, Shermaine, and the youngdy from the


    Grandes, who do you think stands a better chance? What do you think your odds are? I reckon you


    should consider your options carefully.”


    rissa could not be bothered to argue.


    With nothing else to say, she got into the car and left.


    Luke smiled and gingerly touched a particrly sore spot on his face. Damn, that really hurt.


    Back inside the car, rissa’s expression was as dour as her mood.


    Because the Tysons themselves had been keeping quiet, she was lulled into the false sense of calm.


    rissa forgot that there were still problems that needed solving.


    She felt herself fall into a panic, which served to worsen her mood.


    Since there were loose ends, she could not just take things easily.


    However, there was little she could do on her own. Be it Sienna or Shermaine, the situation was a


    ticking time bomb.


    These two could spell serious trouble, if she wasn’t careful.


    rissa could not help but reflect on what had happened to her before. Is it possible that one of them


    might be the culprit here?


    Of course, Sienna was the first to discover her rtionship with Matthew and had long suspected it


    since. Shermaine, on the other hand, knew as well since the pair had not bothered hiding it when they


    returned to D City together.


    Knowing Shermaine, she had been quiet for too long. Was the shock Matthew gave her sufficient


    enough?


    rissa could not be certain, since Shermaine was not the type to give up too easily.


    When rissa arrived at the Tyson Corporation, she dropped off the food she’d brought over for his


    colleagues before making her way to the top floor.


    Matthew was on the phone when she entered. Very quietly, rissa tiptoed inside and sat down


    without disturbing him.


    She decided to while away some of her time on social media. With Shermaine keeping silent, her own


    feed was rtively peaceful.


    rissa could only feel relieved if she was certain that there was nothing else.


    Just then, she received a message from Ellie.


    “Grandma hasn’t said anything to you recently, has she?”


    Ellie was usually the first to inform her of anything the Tysons might be nning, but the family had


    somehow kept their distance. She found the silence both odd and eerie at the same time, so she


    decided to ask rissa instead, for fear that the family members had been nning something in


    secret.


    rissa was touched by the gesture, given how Ellie was such a good friend to her.


    However, rissa could empathize with the Tysons. If she suddenly had a rtive who started dating a


    friend of hers, she would not be happy either.


    Back then, the Tysons were nothing but kind to her. They never would’ve imagined that this youngdy,


    in particr, would be involved with Matthew, of all people.


    Therefore, rissa could understand where the opposition came from and did not take it to heart.


    “No, things have been alright,tely.”


    “That’s good to hear. But if anything happens, don’t be rash. Don’t be like those silly heroines in tv


    shows who choose not to take what is offered and leave in a huff. Even if you leave, BLEED. THEM.


    DRY. You’ve got nothing to lose.”


    rissa couldn’t help butugh. ”Okay, I’ll do my best to bleed them dry! :)”


    “WAAAIT. Don’t just bleed them dry, that’s thest resort. Stand your ground! But if you are unhappy


    about something, just tell Uncle Matt. He’ll defend the heck out of you regardless! And don’t you dare


    give me that crap about being saintly orpromising for anything less. Every single heroine you’ve


    written about is a tough cookie, and I expect nothing less from you! You’re NOT weak!”


    “EXCUUUUSE ME, do I really seem like that sort of person to you?”


    “YES!”


    rissa was speechless. ”Then, I promise not to be weak. Happy now?”


    “Fine. Promise that you’ll see it through. After all, I think you’re best suited to be my Aunt re. I know


    that both of you are guaranteed to work well, where chemistry is concerned. I don’t think anyone else is


    worthy of my Uncle Matt.”


    rissaughed. Does Ellie secretly have daddy issues?


    Ellie seemed to worship the ground he walked on and thought that nobody was worth of her uncle.


    Wasn’t she just as against rissa in the beginning?


    rissa was thankful for hersting friendship with Ellie. It was this rtionship that allowed her to


    come to terms with herself.


    I suppose I’m not too bad myself. Otherwise, Ellie wouldn’t approve of me, right?

    rissa couldn’t help but grin self-indulgently as she thought of this.


    I’m pretty d*mn good, if I do say so myself.


    This was something she decided to ask Matthew directly upon her arrival at the Tyson Corporation.


    Of course, she was still rather coy about the whole affair.


    Matthew initially reacted with surprise when he first her question. He then pulled the blushing woman


    into his arms and tilted her chin to look up at his piercing gaze. rissa felt exposed under his scrutiny


    as her cheeks grew even hotter.


    “What are you l-looking at? You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to! Besides, what’s so


    fascinating that you’re just staring at my face?”


    A mortified rissa wanted to push Matthew away, but she was firmly restrained in his viselike grip. He


    maintained his searching gaze as he observed how every inch of her face flushed a delicate scarlet.


    Matthew waited patiently for her embarrassment to turn into annoyance before answering rissa with


    a smug grin. “I think you’re lovely. But you’re not just that. I think you’re perfect.”


    rissa was satisfied with this answer.


    However, she was still mortified at how he yed it out so tantalizingly.


    She let out a small huff. “Alright, I get it. You can step away from me now. It’s time to eat.”


    Matthew did not let go immediately but left her a gentle peck at the corner of her lips. “Ellie is right,


    though. If anything troubles you at all, you must tell me. You’ll have my full support. You needn’t even


    consider settling for less orpromising where you should not.”


    Initially, Matthew had never even considered that the conversation would take such a turn.


    After all, he was definitely not the type to watch the cringy romance dramas involvingrge wealthy


    families and their petty squabbles.


    Even though rissa had posed the conversation she had with Ellie as a joke, Matthew could sense


    that she was actually worried that a scenario like that would ur.


    It was not something that he could take lightly either. He was concerned that rissa could actually


    leave him for those reasons without saying a word.


    Matthew also took the opportunity to continue while rissa was still surprised. “Although I want to be


    with you all the time, and despite being under Gina’s protection as well, I cannot guarantee I’ll be there


    forever. Therefore, if someone takes advantage of you, or if my mother makes things hard for you, I


    want you to promise me this. Let me handle all of it. Don’t make any decisions without me, especially


    the decision to leave me and move on. Alright?”


    Matthew brushed a finger across rissa’s chin as he inched closer to her. Gone was the carefree


    tone he had at first, which was now reced by something morepelling.


    rissa was forced to look at Matthew’s darker gaze. “Alright, I promise I won’t leave without


    discussing it with you first.”


    Matthew smiled and looked at her with smug satisfaction.


    He lowered his head and brushed a gentle kiss over her lips. “My dear re is a good girl.”


    Well, behaving is a given.


    If I didn’t behave, how on earth would I handle someone as overbearing as Matthew?


    She had gotten a few days of proper rest but did not wish to be stifled by his domineering behavior this


    way. It would make her listless.


    After a while, Matthew let go of her, and the pair sat down to eat.


    Over thest few days, rissa hade to apany him for lunch unimpeded. She had also


    managed to sneak a few naps.


    rissa was not sure of how the employees at the Tyson Corporation would react to a younger woman


    like her having lunch dates with their boss. However, she had be quite a familiar face to some of


    the staff whose main tasks were to keep the president’s office clean. Mrs. Zeller and Mrs. Wace, as


    they were so named, also tended to share quite a bit of gossip with rissa when she did go to visit


    Matthew at the office.


    Mrs. Zeller would’ve recognized rissa for sure, but she definitely was not the type to keep a secret.


    rissa was also itching to know exactly what everyone gossiped about, but she never quite had the


    chance to. She definitely could not use her status as an excuse to wander around the Tyson


    Corporation as she pleased. All she could do was listen to Mandy’s gossip when she returned to the


    studio.


    “Let me tell you that I’ve heard them discuss this in the elevator several times. Everyone is now


    specting over Mr. Tyson’s girlfriend having lunch with him every day. You’ve morphed from being a


    scion of a prominent family to a socialite, a model, even that you’re looking for a Cindere story… the


    possibilities are endless. If only you could hear exactly how wild the usations are! Of course, there’s


    also plenty of room for nonsense like envy, jealousy, and even hate. But I am really curious though.


    What does it feel like being his girlfriend?”


    “How do I feel?”


    rissa rubbed her chin thoughtfully for while before answering. “Well, how am I this drop-dead


    gorgeous? I think I’m definitely one hell of a catch where he is concerned.”


    She then noticed that nobody had responded to what she said. rissa turned around and realized


    that both Mandy and Rocky shared the same odd expression.”


    “What’s the matter? Are you not convinced that I am beautiful?”


    “Well, of course, you are beautiful!” quipped Mandy in a hurry. “Your beauty is so awe-inspiring that


    you’ve swept him off his feet! How about that?”


    rissa snorted. Suddenly, she had an imperious expression as she ran her fingers through her hair


    absent-mindedly.


    “I guess I’m just so beautiful that I swept Matthew off his feet, I guess,” said rissa with a sigh as she


    flipped her hair. “What more can I say?”


    When nobody spoke, rissaughed out loud again. “Come on, are you both still reluctant to admit


    it?”


    Mandy only winked at rissa. She then turned around and realized that Matthew’snky figure had


    approached her quietly with his hands in his pockets and a sly grin on his face.
