You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 363


    “rissa, here you are,e on in!”


    At first, the women greeted her. After a while, the men followed in excitement when they recovered


    from their initial amazement, especially the unmarried male ssmates—they were the most excited


    out of them all.


    Some were pulling out chairs, inviting her to sit. Finally, rissa chose to sit next to Tianna, whose


    husband was there too. He looked like a decent man.


    There was a reason why rissa had not contacted her ssmates for so many years. It was not


    because she was cold or unfriendly.


    Because of her beauty and intelligence, rissa was rejected and tormented by female ssmates


    while male ssmates harassed her and looked at her in a different way. She could never forget this


    kind of bullying.


    However, every year, she would still visit the teachers who cared about her. These teachers did not


    publicize her visits.


    Just as before, rissa was not overly enthusiastic about meeting these eager ssmates, some of


    whom still thought of her as a curiosity.


    Today was just an interlude.


    “Oh dear, beautiful Ms. Quigley, you are still so attractive! Take a look around this room. All the men are


    bewitched by you. I am sure your husband would be worried about letting you out of his sight.”


    Just look! They may be half-joking, but that doesn’t hide the evil intent in their hearts.


    “You shouldn’t say that. Our Beauty is the type who puts family and husband first.”


    It was Tianna who spoke fairly. Besides, the men did not like hearing those spiteful remarks, so they


    changed the subject.


    “rissa, when did you get married? Why weren’t we informed… I heard that your son is already two


    years old. Why isn’t your husband here with you?”


    “That’s right. A beautiful girl such as you definitely married well, didn’t you?”


    “Where does your husband work? Perhaps we know him… After all, for the past few years, we had a


    lot of business dealings, and we do know quite a lot of people.”


    “Yes, yes, our President rk is the big boss. President rk, those days, did you fantasize about


    beautiful Ms. Quigley? Now that she is married, are you disappointed? You’re still single, yes? Do you


    have any ns?”


    Johnny was obviously the most prominent figure at the gathering.


    The man was seated at the main seat. Before the arrival of the teachers, everyone’s attention was on


    him.


    Meanwhile, he did not try to conceal his eager gaze upon rissa.


    When others in the group chided him, he just smiled and shook his head. “Oh, stop kidding around.”


    There was no serious denial, indicating that he was hopeful.


    rissa did not ept their bait, instead, she ignored their remarks and maintained a cold expression


    whilst turning around and looked at Tianna.


    “President rk, why aren’t they here yet? Should you give them a call and ask?”


    “Oh… they should be here any minute now…”


    As rissa seemed to ignore their remarks, they felt a little awkward.


    “Our beautiful Ms. Quigley is as aloof as ever!”


    Still, rissa did not reply.


    Those who are mature enough would usually not be jealous, but women are jealous by nature.


    Jolene Marcus, the girl who always had a crush on Johnny since they were schoolmates, sat next to


    him the moment she came in, and she acted as if they were lovers. However, the moment rissa


    walked in, Johnny totally ignored Jolene. In rissa’s presence, Jolene did feel rather inferior.


    However, she could not stand the fact that rissa was ignoring the ssmates’ attempts to start a


    conversation.


    With a sneer, she snorted. “rissa, are you ignoring us because you have been unsessful in life?


    Do you have a guilty conscience? Those days you acted so haughty and got epted by a prestigious


    university, but now, you may not be doing wellpared to most of us. Where is your husband? Are


    you ashamed of introducing him to us? Or have you married that scum boyfriend of yours from those


    days?”


    Scum boyfriend from those days?


    At Jolene’s words, everyone was stunned and ufortable, while some were even embarrassed


    Pleased with the effect of her words, she gloated, hoping to see rissa guilty, afraid, or even


    panicky…


    However, rissa showed no change in her expression. At the same time, three grey-haired teachers


    walked into the private lounge. rissa arose immediately, and the others followed suit to wee the


    teachers.


    Craig Anderson was their ss teacher through their high school years one to three. They used to call


    him “Boss.” Now, his hair had turned grey, and he was slim, unlike those days when he was still


    energetic and had that imposing aura. Now, he was just a kind old man.


    The other two were theirnguage and mathematics teachers, both very important educationists in their


    growing up years.


    When Craig saw rissa, he said softly, “rissa, I never thought you would reallye.”

    This was the first time rissa smiled tonight, and it was at the teachers.


    “Boss, aftering back, I didn’t have time to visit you. I heard you were unwell. Why didn’t you tell


    me?”


    “It was nothing, really nothing. Just somethingmon and not life-threatening. Are you spending New


    Years here?”


    rissa was a bit embarrassed. “I’ll tell youter. Don’t worry. It’s okay.”


    Craig was the only person who knew about the problem she was facing with Matthew. This was not a


    good ce to talk, and so, he didn’t ask much.


    “Boss, has rissa been keeping in touch with you all this time?”


    Craig smiled. “We bumped into one another by coincidence.”


    Since rissa did not want to keep in touch with these schoolmates, he respected her privacy.


    However, this was obviously not just an idental meeting. The others realized that this beautiful


    schoolmate was not an unfeeling creature who did not even contact teachers. She had been seeing the


    teachers but just did not want to contact her schoolmates.


    Undeniably, everyone had a different perspective. Some would feel remorse for what they did when


    they were still teens, but some would let bygones be bygones.


    No one had the courage toe out and be the first to apologize.


    “Come on, let’s give a toast to our three teachers…”


    As they talked, someone spoke out and changed the awkward atmosphere. Instantly, the crowd


    became cheerful.


    After all, the school reunion was not for picking on rissa, even though she was a hot topic for


    discussion. Johnny’s sess story made him the center of attention of the gathering.


    Throughout the entire night, rissa kept her head down and ate a little, trying to keep a low profile.


    Halfway through, she went to the restroom, and Tianna went with her.


    When they were inside, Tianna asked her a little nervously, “rissa, do you still hold a grudge against


    us?”


    rissa washed her hands and walked to one side of the room. She took out some tissue and dried


    her hands before replying simply, “No, I hold no grudge.”


    Tianna was about to feel relieved when rissa added, “But I cannot forgive them.”


    Hearing that, Tianna was taken aback. “But back in those days, we were still young and ignorant… we


    did not do it on purpose. It was only because we didn’t know better… “


    rissa sneered. Can we pretend that it did not happen just because they were young and ignorant?


    Nheless, she did not refute too much. No matter how much she said, the harm was already done,


    and those people still lived a life without guilt. Who would care if there was any harm done to her?


    Who would care about her?


    rissa came out of the restroom and turned to walk back to the hall. Suddenly, she saw a man at the


    end of the corridor.


    As she stood there, stunned. Meanwhile, Tianna came out right after her. “rissa…”


    However, rissa continued walking, totally ignoring the man.


    Tianna noticed this extraordinarily handsome man, too. He was aloof and attractive. At first nce, one


    would know that he was a cut above. Tianna could not help gazing at him. For the thousandth time, she


    lamented why she could not have such a handsome man.


    They left the man behind, and when Tianna entered the private lounge, she could not help saying with


    augh, “Oh my goodness! Girls, I literally just saw the hottest man ever whileing out of the


    restroom earlier! That man is absolutely a ss above. You, single girls, do go and try your luck. I


    daresay that this is the most handsome man I’ve ever met.”


    “Really? I must go and check him out…”


    This piqued the curiosity of a fewdies who went toward the restroom. Meanwhile, the rest of the


    schoolmates, who remained there, burst out inughter.


    Only rissa remained quiet and whispered to Craig.


    After some time, thedies had still not returned, and someone joked. “Perhaps he is a kidnapper?


    Maybe he kidnapped those few girls at one go?”


    “Hahaha… no way! Come on, let us guys go and take a look. What guy can be better looking than us?”


    He was just joking as he pretended to get up. At the same time, the door of the private lounge was


    pushed open.


    When the several female ssmates walked in, all of them looked particrly excited. They seemed to


    be blushing as if they were falling in love.


    Meanwhile, the rest of them were astonished. Were they really abducted? Were a few of them


    abducted together at one time?


    Before they could voice their queries, they saw a man behind thesedies. And he was, indeed, an


    exceptionally handsome man.


    It was just as Tianna had described him—a ss above.


    The women were amazed and starry-eyed with palpitating hearts. On the other hand, the men wanted


    not just to look like him, but also have his air of superiority, cold gaze, and domineering charisma.


    This was no ordinary man.


    After entering the hall, this man looked around the room and his gaze finally rested on rissa.


    They suddenly became vignt, and Johnny was even more so, besides being more hostile than the


    others.


    The man strode toward rissa, but he was stopped by Johnny.


    “Mister, you…”


    The man’s stern look caused Johnny’s words to get stuck in his throat and even panicked him.


    Jolene, who was beside him, quickly stepped forward at the same time, her face turning a little red as


    she asked sweetly, “Mister, who are you looking for? This is our ssmates’ reunion. Are you from our


    school?”


    Jolene’s motive was very obvious, and Johnny was looking grim.


    How disgusting! Jolene had always tried so hard to flirt with me, and now, she’s drooling over that guy


    over there!
