You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 385


    Matthew smiled at the look of seriousness on rissa’s face.


    He bent over to bump his forehead gently against hers. “Have a little faith in yourself, re. I’m very


    touched by your gift. How else do you want me to express it?”


    Matthew knew that she valued his opinion, but it was her artistic ideal that mattered the most to her.


    This gift was three years in the making since she penned the first words of the novel all the way until


    the filming of its adaptation.


    Matthew did not know how to repay such a meaningful gift from his wife.


    His lovely rissa had endured all forms of degradation and bullying since she had been married to


    him. The greatest gift a woman can give to a man was to bear him a child. rissa had not only done


    that, but she had also worked so hard on the novel and the film which were a tribute to their love.


    Matthew could think of no better way for rissa to express her love for him than what she had already


    done.


    rissa smiled as her handy softly against his cheek.


    “Don’t express your gratitude now,” she teased. “Wait for the premiere.”


    Matthew flicked at her forehead yfully. “I’ll be grateful starting from now. My gratitude will grow


    stronger when your moviees out. I can only show my gratitude to you by offering you my body.”


    rissa giggled. “You wish!” she chided, though she eyed him seductively.


    Matthew merely smiled. She does not want to, but couldn’t I get it myself?


    Matthew tapped on her head with a finger. “Let’s get home, shall we?”


    rissa picked up her things as they prepared to leave. Standing intimately next to Matthew, they


    alternated between her clinging to his arm and him wrapping his arm around her waist. Their walk to


    the car had to be paused frequently as the couple couldn’t seem to keep their lips apart.


    With a public disy of affection as obvious as this, they attracted stares wherever they went.


    Not only were they infatuated with one another, but they were also a handsome couple.


    The cameras clicked incessantly from a distance as the paparazzi did not often get the opportunity to


    capture the Tysons out in public.


    They had gotten word earlier that day that rissa would be having auditions for her movie in this


    particr studio, that was why they had camped outside the building since that morning for a chance to


    capture the elusive couple on camera.


    Many actors had left before then but the paparazzi held on to a desperate hope that their efforts would


    pay off.


    The shutters clicked madly at the couple holding hands as they exited the building.


    From their kisses to their embraces, every gesture was deemed worthy to be photographed.


    It was exciting for them as they did not want to miss even a single second of the couple’s actions. As


    they gazed at Matthew’s departing car, satisfied that their patience had paid off, a hand tapped on the


    shoulder of the paparazzi at the back of the group.


    With a violent jump, he whipped around as his heart jumped to his throat.


    Donnie smiled pleasantly. “Don’t worry, I’m not here to confiscate your camera. You can publish that.”


    With a tremulous smile in return, he nodded without a word, not daring to speak.


    “You can’t publish all of them, though,” Donnie continued. “Those that pertain to public knowledge, you


    can.”


    “Do you mean…” the paparazzi stammered.


    Donnie took his camera from him to examine the photographs. After that, he remained to chat with the


    paparazzi for a long while.


    Matthew’s car was long gone by that moment. rissa was leaning on Matthew’s shoulder when a


    thought urred to her.


    “I saw Donnie earlier back at the studio. Isn’t he joining us?”


    Matthew smiled. “He has business to attend to.”


    rissa took no notice. Changing the subject, she spoke at length about the auditions she had seen


    that day, from the trivial to the humorous. Inevitably, she had arrived at the event that had been


    bothering her the entire day.


    “I don’t understand her. Did she do it on purpose or not?” rissa pouted in displeasure and suspicion.


    “No matter what her intentions were, she’s bad news. Keep an eye out,” Matthew said cidly.


    rissa nodded. “I thought so too, but she’s changed so much. It is indeed possible that she had


    turned over a new leaf.”


    Matthew did not offer his opinion. Whether or not that is true is anybody’s guess.


    Only time will tell.


    It’s best to just observe patiently for now.


    Even Matthew had decided to be wary of Shermaine and her sudden appearance back into their lives.


    rissa did not dwell on Shermaine, she just happened to mention thetter in passing. She was not


    an important character in their life to be obsessed about.


    Soon after, they had arrived home. Damian’s enthusiastic greeting to his parents when they return


    home was always the highlight of their day after a long and dreary one at work.


    At that moment, Shermaine was mulling over the fact that she had been rejected before she even


    auditioned.


    She had already expected to be treated in this manner by rissa.


    Shermaine was having a coffee with a friend. Without speaking ill of rissa, she exined to her


    friend that the reason why she was not offered the chance to audition was that her reputation was not


    doing too well.


    “That’s too much of her,” her friend said reproachfully. “It has been a long time ago. Why wouldn’t she


    even let you audition? What a horribly embarrassing thing to do to kick you out before you even tried.


    As far as I’m concerned, your actions to turn over a new leaf had been nothing but sincere. They are


    simply too judgmental.”


    Shermaine shook her head. “It’s the society that’s judgmental. It’s normal for people would feel


    threatened by me. Even if it was not rissa who had rebuffed me today, somebody else would do the


    same.”


    Her friend shook her head resolutely. “I still think it’s too much of them. You’re apletely different


    person now.”


    Shermaine smiled. “Let’s not talk about that anymore. When I was at the audition, I saw many young


    and beautiful actresses who were all new. I also met many veterans who were all vying to be part of


    this movie. It’s the talk of the town.”


    “That’s true. How could it not be discussed? That is Mrs. Tyson’s movie. Many young girls have been


    waiting for years for this novel to be adapted into a movie. The fans are hysterical too. In times like this,


    it’s the ultimate fantasy to have a domineering boss as your husband. Though Mr. Tyson does not


    exactly fit that stereotype, his gentlemanliness is exactly what drives the girls wild.”


    With her friends bursting intoughter, Shermaine joined in as well.


    “They’re just little girls,” she scoffed. “A domineering boss? He’s just an ordinary man.”


    Her friends suddenly recalled the period of time when Shermaine and Matthew had between them a


    rtionship of which was difficult to deduce its nature.


    Emboldened by Shermaine’s newfound serenity, one of her friends plucked up her courage to ask.


    “Shermaine, I’m pretty curious. What kind of a person is Mr. Tyson?”


    Shermaine did not lose her temper as she once would. She took her time to search her memories,


    smiling as she did so.


    Hmm, Matthew was…” she murmured.


    Her friends paid close attention to her description of Matthew.


    That night, the support fan meeting that Shermaine had reorganized was aze with gossip.


    Belongs to N?velDrama.Org - All rights reserved.


    They had felt deeply insulted and indignant at how rissa had treated Shermaine earlier that day. To


    vent their anger, they had resorted to name-calling and defamation of rissa.


    Outraged, they were determined to avenge Shermaine’s honor.


    The moderator had attempted to cate the fans by cautioning them against acting rashly as it would


    only backfire onto Shermaine. However, he proposed that there was something that they could do.


    Shermaine’s supporters were intrigued.


    By the following day, an innocuous piece of gossip appeared on social media.


    Aside from the usual praising of Shermaine’s talent for acting by breaking down her roles in her prior


    films, there was an additional item.


    It spoke of Shermaine’s character transformation and how she had endured ridicule and how her


    friends had abandoned her, how nobody believed that she had changed. They had even picked on her


    past like how a certain someone had denied her a chance to audition for a role due to a personal


    vendetta.


    These usations were initiated by several unknowns whose identities were so trivial that they were


    practically anonymous. Soon, the whole nation was embroiled in an ethical debate on whether or not a


    person deserved a second chance after making a mistake.


    The person who had created a poll on which the majority of Inte users voted was an influencer on


    Twitter. Hisments had opened up to some enthusiastic debate.


    Many had opted for the second chance being given as it took a great deal of humility to admit one’s


    wrongdoings. They attested to the sincere mistake of speaking rashly which had caused one to be


    outcast simply because the things they had spoken out of anger were uneptable.


    Another faction emerged who grew curious about the identity of the person who had so harshly


    rebuffed Shermaine. “Who was the casting director who had denied Shermaine an audition?” they


    wondered.


    “I know who it was, but I’m afraid to say. If I do, I’ll get banned.”


    “Banned? I think I know who it is. I thought they were decent people. I thought that their rtionship is


    really adorable. I’m shocked to hear that she is this biased.”


    “Who is it that you’re referring to? Why does it sound like a famous celebrity couple that I know?”


    rissa had noticed the gossip around her.


    She had encountered keyboard warriors all over the Inte since the early days of her fame. Since


    then, she had developed resiliency to their viciousments.


    The only thing rissa could do was watch helplessly as her personal life with Matthew make


    headlines again, fueled by the gossip indirectly caused by Shermaine and the photographs that were


    taken the day before of her departing the studio with Matthew.


    It was a blurry photo that went viral anyway because they were kissing in it. rissa wanted to ask


    Matthew if news like that ought to be censored.


    She had made the connection between the photograph and Donnie’s disappearance. He must have


    noticed that we were being photographed. That was where he went.


    Even after discovering that they have been photographed in secret, he still allowed them to be


    published. How badly does Matthew want to show off our affection?


    rissa shook her head in despair. Without hesitation, she dialed Matthew’s number.


    He answered promptly. “Matthew,” she said at once. “Will there be a day that passes without you


    showing off our disy of affection on the Inte?”


    Matthew understood what she was referring to by the tone of her voice.


    “No, re. I can’t.” The cheekiness in his voice was apparent even through the phone.


    “Then what will you do? Now that we are more famous than ever before, this won’t do. I think we


    should just censor it.”


    re felt that their happiness need not be outwardly disyed. It was enough as long as both of them


    knew it in their hearts.


    If the goal was to show off their love, she would undoubtedly attract envious attention. If there was too


    much of it, rissa was afraid that her happiness would be short-lived.


    That was why their poprity was only high at the start when they first got together. The longer they


    were together, the more they needed to remain in the shadows.


    rissa pouted. “Please stop with all these high-profile headlines. The whole world knows about our


    lives.”


    “Yes, that’s my goal. To tell the world about our love.”
