You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 261
Then, Matthew took rissa and Damian to another ce. They ended up buying plenty of toys, filling
the car boot to the brim. Some of them were even brought over from D City.
Only when night fell did the man finally drive them home.
rissa lingered at the door for a long while before carrying a sleeping Damian into the house.
Surprisingly, Catherine hadn’t gone to bed yet. After tucking her son in with Jenny’s help, rissa
returned to the living room and had a ss of milk.
Catherine questioned upon seeing her enter, “Did you have fun? Why did you buy so many toys?”
Chuckling, rissa replied, “It’s been a long time since Ist spent time with Damian, so I figured it was
fine to go along with his wishes today.”
At that, Catherine nodded in acknowledgment. In reality, both of them knew the truth of the matter, but
she didn’t mention a single word about Matthew.
“Alright, you must be tired after going out for the entire day, so rest earlier.”
Just when rissa walked out after taking a shower, her cell phone rang. Going into the study, she
closed the door before having a video call with Matthew.
As Matthew gazed at the freshly-showered woman, whose hair was a touch messy and her face
flushed, his heart jolted.
Noticing the darkening of his eyes, a fissure of embarrassment crept into rissa, and she spoke to
divert his attention.
“Say, was it you who arranged for the contract I signed in D City back then?”
However, Matthew’s face was a mask of puzzlement. “What contract? Did you sign a contract with
Tyson Corporation’s mediapany?”
“Please drop the act. Mr. Yates mentioned it when I had a meal with him back then.”
Hearing that, Matthew chuckled. “I did know about that, but I didn’t arrange it. Tyson Corporation only
makes profitable deals, so they only signed you because you are viewed as profitable. Besides, it’s
very difficult to get an appointment with you nowadays. Your poprity has soared. You’ve now
be a renowned screenwriter.”
rissa tilted her head and smirked proudly. “Of course! If it weren’t because of you, I wouldn’t have
signed with them.”
“Then, I’ve got to thank you, Ms. Quigley.”
“You’ve naturally got to thank me since a script I write will definitely make you a ton of money!”
While that seemed to be the truth, rissa didn’t dare boast as much to others. She would only say it
to Matthew brazenly.
“I’ll give you a bonus if I make a ton of money.”
“Sure! I’ll invest it in my ind. The annual maintenance is so costly that I’m about to be a pauper.
Say, I haven’t even gotten to enjoy the ind you gave me, but I’m already investing money in it. What
a travesty…” rrisa groused.
However, she then remembered that the ind had initially been meant for their wedding.
At the thought of that, mncholy flooded her. She didn’t dare ther on about the ind, so she
changed the topic and spoke mostly of Damian.
Although Matthew couldn’t be a regr part of their son’s life, she always remembered to take photos
or videos of their son’s growth. She then edited andbined them all to send to him from time to
time, for she didn’t want him to miss any moment of Damian’s life, no matter the happy or sad times.
She had no idea when such days would end, but Catherine’s attitude seemed to have eased a lot
compared to the previous year. She was no longer as adamant in forbidding her from meeting Matthew.
At present, she most likely knew that they were in contact privately, but she merely turned a blind eye
to it.
Perhaps Grandma will soon allow Matthew to be part of our lives for Damian’s sake, she mused.
Half a monthter, rissa unexpectedly set out for D City again despite just having returned a while
ago.
This time, it was wholly for work reasons.
She was truly reluctant to part with Damian, but she couldn’t take him with her. For that reason, she
spent the entire day with him before leaving. Early the next morning, she departed at the crack of
dawn. She knew her son would probably burst into tears and throw a tantrum when he woke up.
Upon arriving in D City, she was seized by the urge to wrap herself up in a thick quilt. When Mandy
picked her up, she demanded, “Why did you ask me toe over when there are no problems with the
script? Can’t the others in the studio amend it? If they really can’t handle it, you could’ve sent me an
email!”
Mandy merely shrugged. “Yael said you’ve got to amodate them if they’ve got any requests since
they’re paying an exorbitant amount. Besides, it’s indeed rather busy now at the end of the year. On top
of that, now that you’re famous, many people are requesting that you write them a script, so those in
the studio are swamped.”
Oh, God, that’s a lot of excuses! But the bottom line of what she means is that the other party is paying
an exorbitant amount…
rissa’s lips twitched. “Alright, I got it. It’s really not easy to make money nowadays!”
All at once, Mandy’s expression changed. You’re merely writing scripts, so what’s so difficult when a
single script of yours is selling at a king’s ransom now?
Nheless, it wasn’t all that persuasive.
rissa headed to the studio and treated everyone to a meal before checking into the hotel. She took
a nap in the afternoon, and no one bothered her at night either, so she had an unusually peaceful day.
The next day, she received a call from the mediapany, requesting that she go over for a meeting
early in the morning. She was to meet the director as well.
It wasn’t her first rodeo, so rissa merely dolled up for a bit before going to the mediapany
alone.
While the mediapany under Tyson Corporation wasgging behind its peers in the other
industries, it was doing considerably well in the entertainment industry.
Most importantly, thepany had the funds to produce top-notch work. As quality triumphed over
quality to them, their reputation had been on the rise throughout the past few years. Many people now
had the perception that works produced by Tyson Media were sure to be of top-notch quality, bing
a branding of sorts.
It was the first time rissa was coborating with them. Honestly speaking, she would still proceed
with the coboration even if it weren’t Matthew’spany.
When she arrived, the receptionist allowed her up upon learning that she had an appointment. She was
then led upstairs to a small conference room.
After waiting for a while, thepany’s representatives arrived. She recognized thepany’s
president and director, followed by the film producer and director…
All of them then exchanged some pleasantries, both parties naturally hoping that the coboration
would go smoothly.
Unexpectedly, someone whispered something into the president’s ear while the meeting was underway.
His gaze flickering slightly, the president announced with a smile, “It so happens that the big boss
made a sudden visit today. When he heard that we’re discussing a new script, he expressed his
interest to join us.”
“Are you referring to Mr. Tyson?” the young director rmended by Justin asked in astonishment.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Just as his words fell, the general manager walked out. In no time, he then escorted Matthew in.
Matthew sat down, looking cool and indifferent as he cidly murmured, “Carry on.”
The general manager nodded with a smile and continued discussing the script, acting as though
Matthew was a bystander.
While others in the room were a tad nervous, the manager was still considerably calm. Meanwhile,
rissa rolled her eyes inwardly.
Nheless, business and pleasure were two different things, in which she was exceptionally good at
drawing the line. Of course, she was no match for Matthew, the trickster.
“Generally speaking, there are no problems with this script, Ms. Quigley. However, I think the ending
needs to be amended. I’m sure you’re well aware of the trends now, so it’ll be good to have the ending
in that fashion…” the producer suggested.
Before rissa could reply to that, the director—Maddox Wilson—interjected, “Mr. Jensen, it’ll be too
mainstream if we really follow the current trends. It’ll then lose its meaning. I think Ms. Quigley’s ending
is very well written…”
rissa then indicated the same opinion as Maddox, and they discussed the matter again.
Matthew, on the other hand, took the notebook the general manager handed him. He then nced
through the outline of the script, seeming very much interested in it.
While rissa and the managers were in the midst of their discussion, he suddenly chimed in. His
voice was clear and cool, yet it seemed threaded with a hint of steel.
“Just go with the script.”
Since the ultimate president himself had spoken, the decision was now set in stone.
“But…”
Matthew then changed his tune, causing everyone present to swing their gazes at him, only to see that
he was staring at rissa with a darkened gaze.
“I’m very interested in this script, Ms. Quigley. However, there are some parts I don’t quite understand,
so I wonder if you’ve got time to answer my queries alone?”
Upon hearing that, shock descended upon everyone in the room. Uh… Why does Mr. Tyson sound as
though he’s propositioning her for some reason?
rissa, however, merely answered mildly, “I’m sorry, Mr. Tyson, but I believe that the director is also
very familiar with the script. Why don’t you have the director exin it to you? I might not be able to
spare the time.”
In other words, she rebuffed him right then and there.
At that, Matthew’s face darkened, and he began emanating an oppressive aura. That sudden change in
the atmosphere had everyone present gripping the edges of their seats.
Being Justin’s friend, Maddox couldn’t just twiddle his thumbs when rissa was put in a difficult
position.
Thus, he hurriedly helped her out by interjecting, “I’m indeed much more familiar with the script than
Ms. Quigley, Mr. Tyson. I’ve studied it, so I’ll exin it to you if you have any queries. After all, Ms.
Quigley still has to go back and amend the script.”
rissa instantly nodded in agreement. “That’s right.”
“Amend the script? We are going to follow the original script, so no amendments are necessary. In that
case, you now have time, yes?”
It seemed as though Matthew was simply unwilling to relent.
“Although the script doesn’t have to be amended, there are still some minor details to be considered,
Mr. Tyson…”
In truth, such an excuse wasn’t all that convincing. When Matthew swept his pitch-ck eyes over
Maddox, the man immediately broke into a cold sweat as apprehension swamped him.
The next moment, Matthew stood up and cast rissa a cold look before leaving the conference room.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when he left. shing them a faint smile, rissa murmured,
“Please excuse me if there’s nothing else, gentlemen.”
“I’ll drive you back, Ms. Quigley,” Maddox offered.

However, rissa declined and left the mediapany.
As soon as she left, she phoned Matthew in the car.
The call was promptly answered, upon which she demanded in chagrin, “Was that fun?”
Conversely, the man on the line snorted softly. “Wasn’t that fun?”
Hmm? Why does he sound rather peeved now?
rissa couldn’t figure out why he was pissed off.
“What was the meaning of that?”
“What could it mean? It’s a film produced by mypany, so can’t I have any queries? Or are you so
high and mighty now that I can’t even have a say in such matters?”
Since he had said as much, rissa was dead certain that he was indeed fuming, what with the
obvious sarcasm.
However, she wasn’t an amodating person either. “Matthew Tyson, spit it out if you’ve got
something to say. Stop venting your anger on me, for I’ve got no time to beat around the bush with
you.”
“Hah! You’ve got no time to beat around the bush with me, but you had time to attend a blind date,
huh?”
