You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 230

Clarissa, the “Ms. Lady Boss,” went straight to the boss’ office.

The boss greeted his lovely woman by giving her an affectionate hug and a passionate kiss.

After a long while, Clarissa pushed Matthew away. She wanted to be a considerate woman who supported her man’s work, so she sat on the sofa quietly and went about her own business.

However, she giggled with her mouth covered from time to time.

Matthew raised his eyes and looked at the woman. She seemed to be in a good mood with a silly smile on her face.

When she met his penetrating gaze, Clarissa’s smile faded.

Even so, Matthew didn’t intend to let her off so easily. Her secretive manner had piqued his curiosity.

What is this silly girl so happy about? Why is she keeping it to herself?

“Clare, what you’re laughing about?”

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she waved her hand dismissively as she answered, “It’s nothing. Don’t overthink things.”

“Haha!”

Clarissa’s back stiffened upon hearing his sudden burst of laughter. His deep voice contained an undertone of warning.

Turning to him, she put on an innocent look, pouting her lips.

She teased, “Why must you know? Actually, it’s really nothing. Since when have you become so nosy? You’re not the president of Tyson Corporation I know.”

She tried to change his mind by mesmerizing him with her charming face.

However, Matthew was still gazing at her with a smirk on his face. Although he didn’t say a word, Clarissa could tell that he wouldn’t relent until he got the answer.

Clarissa let out a deep sigh as her shoulder slumped.

“Alright, I’ll tell you then.”

Her face flushed red, and her eyes were gleaming as she mumbled.

Clarissa felt embarrassed to say it aloud, so she purposely lowered her voice to keep her words vague. Nevertheless, Matthew was still able to get her point in an instant.

So, she’s on cloud nine because someone called her “Ms. Lady Boss.”

Amusement glinted in his eyes. Upon seeing that, Clarissa immediately gave him a warning look.

“Don’t you dare laugh at me!”

“Why can’t I laugh, Ms. Lady Boss?” Matthew asked with his smiling eyes.

Clarissa frowned at him, clearly annoyed. “Don’t call me that!”

“Sure, Ms. Lady Boss. But I’m curious. Why are you so happy to hear them calling you ‘Ms. Lady Boss’? As their boss, I’m glad to hear them addressing you that way. Do you know who the employee is? I must promote that person for pleasing my woman,” Matthew teased her.

What an annoying man! He’s doing that again!

He kept teasing me with “Hubby” back then, and now he is teasing me with “Ms. Lady Boss.” Such a man-child!

Clarissa rolled her eyes and retorted, “Dear Boss, you don’t seriously think I’m happy because of the title, do you?”

Matthew arched his eyebrows as he asked rhetorically, “Ms. Lady Boss, are you not?”

Looking at his mischievous expression, Clarissa had a sudden urge to punch his handsome face.

She turned her face away before snorting, “You’re wrong. I’m happy because they said I’m pretty.”

“Yes, Ms. Lady Boss is very beautiful indeed.”

Clarissa didn’t intend to join his word game. The latter was exceptionally good at giving her sweet talk, which made her wonder if he had picked up his flirting skills elsewhere or he intuitively knew how to please women. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

He’s too arrogant to ask other people for advice, and he would never spend his time reading lovey- dovey stuff. Could it be that he’s a natural romantic? How is he so good at sweet-talking?

Clarissa pondered over his unusual talent, but she unwittingly spoke out her mind.

Matthew burst into a soft chuckle upon hearing her mutter. “Clare, I wasn’t sweet-talking you. I meant every word I said. I just spoke whatever came to my mind. To me, those are the most sincere words that I’ve ever said.”

Hearing his words, Clarissa rolled her eyes at him.

See? He’s doing it again.

She looked at Matthew with scorn, yet the corners of her mouth curled upward into a smile while she covered her burning cheeks with her hands.

Then Clarissa shot a glance at Matthew. “Alright, you win! Stop that! You’re burning me up. What if my brain is fried? You don’t want to be with a dumb woman, do you?”

Chuckling with delight, Matthew stood up and walked toward her. The man hugged his beloved woman and kissed her, imitating her giggles just now.

Happiness filled his heart at the moment. “Clare, you’ll still be my lady boss even if you become dumb,” Matthew said that while kissing her all over her face.

“I’m not dumb! You are!”

“I wouldn’t have chosen you if I’m dumb.”

Clarissa was rendered speechless.

She wasn’t sure what his words actually implied, but she didn’t want to give him a chance to make fun of her. Therefore, she smacked her lips and snorted in response, refusing to continue the topic.

“Alright, Boss. You go get busy while I continue being the pretty lady boss.”

“Petty lady boss?” She spoke too fast that Matthew misheard her.

“I’m not petty! You are!”

“Why are you angry at me, Clare?” Matthew asked her in confusion.

What should I do with this man?

Looking at his puzzled face, Clarissa took pity on him. She patted him on his shoulder. “I said pretty, not petty. Forget about it. Mr. Tyson, your time is too precious to talk about such things. Just focus on making money, alright?”

“Make money for Ms. Lady Boss?”

“That’s right!”

“Then Ms. Lady Boss should give me some encouragement.”

She made a heart shape with her fingers, cheering, “You can do it!”

Matthew said with a smile, “I’ll help myself.”

The next second, he pulled her closer and kissed her passionately. The room was filled with an air of romance instantly.

They would have gone all the way to third base if Donnie hadn’t called.

Later on, Clarissa plopped down on the sofa, unable to look at the office the same way again. It was still acceptable if they made out in the break room since it was meant for relaxation. However, they did it at every corner of the office—the office table, sofa, the conference table… She could see the skyline of the city through the French windows. Although no one saw what they were doing, she felt embarrassed, as if they just made out in public.

Oh my! What am I doing?

Clarissa hid her face behind her hands as she kept telling herself to calm down.

Seeing her so embarrassed, Matthew couldn’t help but burst into laughter. Pretending like nothing happened, Clarissa quickly put on a solemn expression, then grabbed a magazine and flipped through

it.

Matthew shook his head with a smile before he proceeded to bury himself in his work. After all, he had to distract himself from her, or else no work could be done by the end of the day. He wouldn’t mind spending the whole day with her, though.

Why can’t I just be a fatuous leader?

Now I understand why King Edward VIII abdicated from his throne for the woman he loved.

After a long while, the two of them finally calmed down. Then, Clarissa took out her phone and typed something on it.

As they accompanied each other in silence, the warm sunlight poured into the office through the windows. It was a blissful moment indeed.

At night, the couple went back to Zen Highlands. By then, Catherine was already home. However, she didn’t come back alone; Mimi was there too.

Clarissa furrowed her eyebrows when she spotted Mimi, clearly displeased by her presence.

Catherine quickly explained, “Clare, I accidentally tripped in the hospital just now. It was Mimi who helped me get into the car. She accompanied me back because she was worried.”

Upon hearing her words, Clarissa immediately approached Catherine. “Grandma, are you alright? Did you get hurt? Has the doctor checked on you? Let me take a look…” she asked out of concern.

“Clare, don’t worry. I’ve taken Grandma to the doctor. It’s just a small scratch. The doctor also took an X-ray which revealed no broken bones.”

Mimi showed the X-ray result as she spoke.

However, Clarissa noticed the bruises on Catherine’s leg. “Grandma, are you really fine?” she asked worriedly.

“Yes, I am. It’s no big deal.”

“How did you fall?”

“There was a nurse pushing a trolley. Perhaps because she was in a hurry, she accidentally crashed into me. She apologized to me after the incident, though. Besides, she’s just a young girl, and I’m not hurt anyway. So don’t worry, alright?”

Clarissa nodded. “Alright. Did the doctor give you any medicine for the bruises? Are they painful?”

Catherine chuckled. “I’m not a child, Clare. A fall like that is nothing. The doctor prescribed some medicine, and Julia applied it for me after I came back, so I feel much better now. Relax, it’s just a small wound.”

Clarissa pouted. “You’re my Grandma. Even a small wound matters to me. Grandma, you have to take good care of yourself no matter where you are. Okay?”

Catherine’s heart melted as she looked at Clarissa’s worried expression. She caressed the latter’s head and smiled. “Sure. I promise you that I’ll live a long life. After all, I want to see you get married and play with my grandchildren. I’ll also help you take care of your children. What do you say?”

“Sure! You mustn’t break your promise, Grandma.”

“Of course!”

After talking with Catherine, Clarissa turned to Mimi, who stood aside quietly like a harmless little girl.

However, Mimi’s eyes sold her out. A glint of greed flashed across her eyes as they flickered.

Meanwhile, Matthew went upstairs after he spoke to Catherine since he couldn’t care less about Mimi.

Matthew was never a friendly person, to begin with, and he was cold to everyone except Clarissa. That was just how he was. Besides, he knew that Clarissa wouldn’t wish to see him get close with the Lesters.

Catherine was well aware that Clarissa didn’t like to see Mimi there. Therefore, she turned to Mimi and urged, “Mimi, it’s getting late. You should head back to the hospital to accompany your mom.”

“My dad is there. He and the nurses will take good care of Mom. Let me accompany you, Grandma. Besides, I want to have a chat with Clare. We’ve never had a proper talk all these years.”
