You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 467

Chapter 467 A Failed Attempt

Wrenna couldn’t even recall the last time she was out and about with others after spending most of her time solving one after another question. Thus, she had a great time indulging herself in leisure activities in the mall with her friends.

“Wren, what do you think of this bracelet?” Dora inquired once she saw a delicate-looking bracelet.

Wrenna and Xandra exchanged glances and responded with a nod.

“I think it’s not half bad!”

“We’ll get her this for her birthday!”

The trio made up their minds to split the bill. Although it wasn’t a lavish gift, it was a meaningful one since it was from the three of them.

Once they were done, they dropped by a nearby café to have some afternoon tea.

The café was full of students since it was near the campus. Thus, they could hear their peers gossiping.

“I was so close to getting myself a scholarship!”

“The brand new boutique store has high-quality items with affordable price!”

“Have you heard of Jayden getting himself into another relationship with someone? I saw them holding hands in the campus!”

“A few of our lecturers are trying to get Ms. Lane into a relationship with them as well, but I think she’s beyond their reach!”

The trio engaged themselves in another discussion the moment they heard those around them.

Dora asked, “Hasn’t Jayden promised to wait for you? We’re not even done with the semester! Men are just nasty, aren’t they? They never keep their promises! Is Ms. Lane that woman we’ve been talking about? I think I have heard something similar as well!”

Wrenna responded with a smile instead of playing along with her friend.

“Why are you all smiles? Are you glad Jayden is going to stop getting in your way? Is Ms. Lane going to stop picking on you once she’s taken by someone else?”

Wrenna remarked nonchalantly, “She’s not going to give up just yet, but her getting into a relationship doesn’t have anything to do with me. I mean, I need to attend her lecture in the future since I’m of a different major. Hence, I have to look beyond that and not let her affect me.”

“You’re one optimistic woman!” Xandra gaped at Wrenna’s reply.

“I’m just conscious of the things awaiting me.”

Wrenna was well aware there was nothing much she could do to get rid of her nasty love rival—Stella. In spite of trying her best, it would be impossible for her to defeat Stella.

I’m afraid she’s the one and only Damian has in mind.

“Alright, it’s about time for me to leave. I’ll head over to the library again. I’ll see you guys tomorrow.”

Wrenna wiped her mouth clean and sprang up from her seat shortly after she said that.

Staring at Wrenna’s departing figure, the helpless Dora remarked, “I’m afraid we can’t do anything to help our obsessed friend over there.”

Xandra, who was of the same idea, shook her head since she knew they wouldn’t be able to talk any senses into Wrenna.

No one can stop her from ruining her life unless she learns to give up on the man who has no intention to reciprocate her affection.

On the other hand, it was already late evening by the time Wrenna made up her mind to call it a day. She fell asleep on her way back from the library.

As usual, she started reading on the bed as soon as she took a shower once she reached home. Damian thought of sharing the truth with her, but he just couldn’t bring himself to strike up the conversation.

He took a seat on the edge of their bed and secretly let out a long sigh.

In the end, he broke the silence when he caught a glimpse of the woman next to her dozing off.

“Wren…”

“Yes?” C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

He gave it a thought and asked, “Don’t you think you’re working too hard when the changes only take place in the upcoming semester?”

It was then she looked at him in the eyes and said, “I’m not tired at all, Damian. I need to hurry up in order to catch up with my peers. Otherwise, I’m going to have a hard time comprehending the things my peers are talking about in the upcoming semester.”

“Are you sure you’re fine when you have to deal with so many things at once?”

“I’m not sure, but I seriously hope things will turn out just fine.” Halfway through her orated speech, she smiled.

Once she returned to her senses, she assured him, “I think I’m quite a potential student! My results were terrible since no one was around to guide me back then! It turns out I’m not such a foolish woman! As long as I’m willing to work hard, I can understand various concepts and theories! In other words, I’m quite a smart student, ain’t I?”

It was evident Wrenna longed for Damian’s acknowledgment. Thus, he played along with her and remarked with a grin, “Of course! You’ve always been smart and exceptional!”

“I’ll definitely work hard to live up to your expectation!”

Damian was rendered speechless by Wrenna’s response—it was never his intention to motivate her to work hard. Instead, he wanted her to take it easy.

“Don’t you think it’s time for you to call it a day?”

“Why don’t you go ahead and tuck yourself in ahead of me? I’ll call it a day once I’m done reading the last chapter!”

Damian felt slightly odd since he was no longer the mainstay of Wrenna’s life. Although it had been quite some time since she started behaving that way, he still couldn’t get used to it.

Stella was instructed by the representative from the headquarter to hand over the project with Tyson Corporation to someone else since she would be transferred elsewhere soon.

I’m sure someone’s pulling the strings behind the scene to get rid of me since no one was against the idea of me returning in the first place! After all, I’m a citizen of D City!

It doesn’t make any sense to put others in charge of the project and send me elsewhere! I’m afraid Damian’s the one behind this!

Instead of confronting Damian in person, Stella got in touch with her colleagues from the headquarter.

“Someone brought up the suggestion of dispatching you as a member of a pioneer team to a different city and said D City wasn’t suitable for someone as capable as you.”

A member of a pioneer team? In short, someone’s trying to make my life miserable by sending me to a rural area, huh?

These might not be Damian’s ideas since a few colleagues of mine at the headquarters had always wanted to bring upon my misfortune.

Stella got in touch with the president of the company and shared her thoughts with him, including the importance of her role in D City, in an attempt to change his mind.

Unfortunately, the president told her he would require some time to make up his mind. Therefore, the infuriated Stella hung up the call and marched in the direction of Damian’s office.

Damian wasn’t particularly shocked by Stella’s presence. Instead, when she showed up, he looked at her in the eyes with a deadpan look.

Stella remained silent throughout the session and burst out laughing shortly after she returned to her senses.

Unable to keep her wrath to herself any longer, Stella yelled with her face scrunched up, “I’m impressed, Damian! Are you aware of the things you’re doing by sending me to the outskirts? You’re ruining my life and my future!”

Ironically, Damian asked as if he couldn’t care less, “Ms. Lane, care to explain the thing you’re talking about?”

“Haven’t I promised you to stop picking on Wrenna? Why aren’t you letting me off the hook? I’m just trying to stay next to you! Can’t you even fulfill this trivial request of mine? I don’t mind handing over the project to someone else or resigning as the lecturer for you’re the only one I need!”

Damian put everything aside and stared at the seemingly affectionate woman in the eyes, repeating himself nonchalantly, “Ms. Lane, I’m afraid I’m not aware of the things you have just brought up.”

“Y-You-”

Damian seemed as if he wouldn’t admit he was the mastermind. Thus, Stella glared at him in the eyes with her lips pursed in an aggrieved manner since she knew there wasn’t anything she could do to stop him.

A few minutes into the confrontation, the exasperated woman started wailing hysterically. “I’ll just consider myself unlucky to have fallen for such a heartless man! I’ll resign if that’s what it takes to stay in D City! I know you don’t care about me, but you can’t stop me from loving you! At the very least, this is the final attempt for our… huh, never mind.”

Halfway through her orated speech, she stopped herself from finishing her sentence and brought herself out of the man’s office.

She turned around and looked at him in the eyes when she was merely a step away from the entrance of the man’s office.

Once again, torrents of grief streamed down her cheeks as emotions came flooding out. It seemed as if she meant the things she had brought up.

A few minutes after she returned to her car, she glared at herself in the rearview mirror with bloodshot eyes.

I can’t believe he’s dismissing me! I wasn’t wrong when I said I was unlucky! I thought I could change his mind and get him into a relationship with me or something, but things turn out the other way round! He seemed to have given up on me for real!

Stella finally realized she had gotten her hopes high.

On top of a better career prospect, she had returned to gain something from Damian. She thought it would be great if she could become Mrs. Tyson along the way.

However, apart from getting on Wrenna’s nerves, nothing she did could change Damian’s mind. To make things worse, she had put her career at stake with nothing to gain.
