You'll Fall For Me, Today or tomorrow

You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 308

Back then, Clarissa had worked at Tyson Corporation for just a month, but she had already witnessed the dark side of the corporate world.

So, she knew that it was not a big deal to be looked down on by others. However, she still felt a sense of defeat.

Not everyone would be willing to help her. Only her family would give her anything she wanted.

If it weren’t for Matthew, Clarissa was just an insignificant figure to outsiders.

After leaving the conference room, they bumped into Avery again when they waited for the elevator.

Avery’s face was still cold at that time. But, she shot a glance at Clarissa.

After a while, the elevator arrived, and they stepped inside. Suddenly, Avery broke the silence, “Ms. Quigley, I don’t know what your relationship with Mr. Walker is, but usually, I won’t give anyone a second chance. Today, I let you come again because Mr. Walker allowed you to. I think maybe you should look for Mr. Walker. You don’t need to go through the proper channels like others.”

Avery’s words were harsh.

Clarissa understood the underlying meaning of her words. This woman is so arrogant.

But Clarissa remained calm upon hearing the words. If she lost her temper at that time, Avery would think that the former got mad because she had hit the nail on the head.

“Ms. Alston, I don’t understand what you mean. But, your attitude is truly an eye-opening experience for me. I didn’t know Tyson Corporation has an employee like you. I think this is good writing material for me. Thank you.”

Ding!

At that, the elevator’s door opened. Clarissa walked out of the elevator.

Of course, she was angry. But she had no other choice because she just knew how to write and could only use the method to vent her anger.

Next time, I must write a character by the name of Avery and torture her!

Clarissa gulped down a huge glass of water to suppress the mounting rage on her chest. Then, she sat down with a depressed look on her face.

When she raised her head to take a look at Yael, she found that the latter was doing her work as if she had expected all this.

Then, Mandy went up to Clarissa and queried, “Clarissa, are things not going smoothly there? Did they agree to invest in our studio?”

Clarissa shook her head in response.

Upon seeing that, Mandy felt a flicker of irritation. “Huh? Did they do this on purpose? Don’t be mad, Clarissa. Go to the top floor now to tell Mr. Tyson about this and ask him to warn those people. Damn it! How dare they reject their lady boss? Ask Mr. Tyson to fire them!”

She suggested the concept of an eye for an eye again and wanted so badly to make those people regret what they did.

Although Clarissa would feel happy upon seeing them being treated badly, she didn’t want to do as Mandy said because she didn’t want others to think that she could only rely on Matthew.

Hence, she shook her head. However, she was fired up upon hearing Mandy’s words.

“Okay. I must prove to the others that our studio has its worth. We got to where we are today by our own effort. We had never relied on anyone. Mandy, let’s go to meet with other investors,” said Clarissa, out of a sudden.

Mandy was a little confused upon hearing that. Before she could react, Yael walked out of her office and said, “No need for that. If you really want to secure investment, come with me to meet with some bosses tonight.”

“Will they invest in our studio?”

“It depends on your performance.”

“Okay, I will do my best.”

Yael nodded in response. Meanwhile, Mandy twitched the corner of her lips when she heard their conversation. If she didn’t know that Yael wasn’t a pimp, she would have thought that there was an underlying meaning in her words.

After work, Yael took Clarissa out for dinner. Then, they attended a party.

Since it was the end of the year, most of them gathered to have some fun. It was not easy if Yael and Clarissa wanted to get investment there.

There were many men and women at the party. Everyone took off their professional looks from the day and focused on having fun.

Yael introduced Clarissa to a middle-aged man, Mr. Collins. Maybe he had contacted Yael beforehand, so when he met them, he scanned Clarissa up and down for a while and started to listen to what Yael said attentively. Although there were people who interrupted the chat on and off, he paid full attention to Yael and asked her some questions from time to time.

Clarissa thought the man’s attitude was much better than Avery’s. At least he was willing to understand their studio and even raised some questions. Seeing that, she became more excited, and the corners of her lip curled up. She did not dare to disturb them, so she just stayed beside Yael without saying any words.

“Ms. Fleming, to be honest, I’m interested in investing in your studio.”

Hearing that, Clarissa’s eyes lit up. Mr. Collins seemed to have noticed that. “But, I think—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Clarissa’s face turned gloomy.

Seeing the change of her facial expression, Mr. Collins couldn’t help but burst out laughing.

He turned his attention to Clarissa. When Yael noticed that, she shook her head inwardly. Sigh! I shouldn’t have brought her here. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

After a while, Mr. Collins stopped laughing and turned to look at Clarissa, “Are you Ms. Fleming’s secretary?”

“No, she is the boss of our studio, Clarissa Quigley.”

Hearing that, Clarissa immediately introduced herself, “Hi, Mr. Collins. I’m Clarissa Quigley. I promise, our studio is great. You will definitely benefit from the investment.”

She looked excited and cute as she said those words.

Seeing that, Mr. Collins arched an eyebrow and looked at the former as he replied with a smile on his face, “You’re right. I will definitely benefit from that. Ms. Fleming, it’s settled, then. Come to my office to have a detailed discussion with me tomorrow.”

So, he agreed to invest in our company?

Upon hearing that, Clarissa smiled widely. She looked cute and pretty with that smile on her face. Overwhelmed with excitement, she lifted up her glass of champagne and toasted that man. “Mr. Collins, you won’t regret investing in our studio. Here’s a toast to you. May we have a good collaboration ahead of us.”

Grinning, Mr. Collins drank his wine in one go.

Meanwhile, the alarm inside Yael’s head went into overdrive when she saw that. Hence, she immediately reminded Clarissa in front of Mr. Collins, “Clarissa, don’t drink too much. Go home earlier. Your child is waiting for you at home.”

“What? Oh, right!”

At that point, there was a flash across Mr. Collins’ eyes. “You’re married?”

“Yes. And I have a son. He is not little anymore. Mr. Collins, I’ll head off now. See you tomorrow!”

With that, Clarissa waved her hand at Mr. Collins and left. Yael stood up as well and walked her out.

Before they reached the front door, they met Luke.

Clarissa lifted the corner of her lips upon seeing Luke holding two young ladies in his arms. On the other hand, Luke’s face froze instantly when he bumped into them. Soon after, they acted like strangers and brushed by each other.

When they reached the door, Yael said, “You don’t need to go to his office tomorrow. I’ll go there alone, or bring someone else there. I’m scared that Mr. Collins will reject us if you go along.”

Clarissa was unhappy upon hearing Yael’s words. “Why? Is it because I’m too ugly, so you afraid that I’d scare him if I go along with you?”

Yael rolled her eyes and replied, “No. I’m afraid that you will attract unwanted attention.”

Clarissa’s expression turned unpleasant when she heard that. Then, she huffed in annoyance, “Okay, okay. I’m not going, okay?”

After Clarissa got into the car and left, Yael returned to the party. Just as she was about to talk to Mr. Collins, she realized that Luke was sitting beside the man and chatting with him.

When Yael went up to them, Luke let out a haughty smile and said, “Ms. Fleming, would you mind if I want to invest in your studio too? Let’s make money together.”

“Of course, Mr. Harrison. How could I reject it? Thank you.”

She didn’t care what Luke’s purpose was. After all, no one would complain about making more money.

However, she didn’t inform Clarissa about that.

It was only then that Matthew remembered this matter, but Clarissa had already gotten the investment.

When he asked Donnie about that, he thought everything had been settled.

But it was only after Donnie questioned Camden that the former realized something was wrong.

“Mr. Walker, what should I even say? Didn’t I ask you to deal with the matter? Is that how you deal with it?”

“Uh… Mr. Sheldon, you mean… what I did was wrong?”

“I personally asked you to deal with it. Do you think you are doing the right thing?”

“But, I thought—”

“Okay, stop it. Explain everything to Mr. Tyson by yourself and ask the staff who rejected Ms. Quigley to explain herself to Mr. Tyson too. I don’t want to be the scapegoat.”

Donnie hadn’t told Matthew about the matter yet. He didn’t know what the latter would think if he learned of this, but he was sure that Matthew would definitely get angry.

After that, Camden brought Avery and David to the top floor. Upon seeing Matthew, Camden was very nervous. On the other hand, Avery couldn’t wait to perform well in front of Matthew at that time.

Meanwhile, Matthew was trying to contact Clarissa because he had just learned of this matter. Never would he have thought Clarissa didn’t tell him what had happened.

She did not pick up the phone either. Hence, the former had no choice but to send her a message.

After sending a message to apologize to her, he queried coldly, “Tell me, why didn’t you approve the investment?”

“Mr. Tyson, I’m the one who’s responsible for this. Although Avery was the one who handled the case, I didn’t…”

“Avery? Tell me!”

Matthew interrupted Camden and shot a sharp glance at Avery.

Initially, Avery wanted to apologize. But suddenly, an idea struck her. She tried hard to suppress her uneasiness and said, “Mr. Tyson, I think Clarissa Studio can’t bring much profit to…”

Avery showed the professional side of her when she explained herself to Matthew. At the same time, she made sure to show the latter how pretty and unique she was.

However, Matthew didn’t look at her when she was explaining. Instead, he looked at his phone and replied to the text message. After replying, he raised his head and asked, “Are you done?”

Avery held her breath and nodded slightly in response. “Yes, Mr. Tyson. This is the reason why I didn’t approve the investment.”
