Selina knew that she was in trouble.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "I am near the Perry Group. I will go talk to Matthew now. Please ask Grandpa to wait for a moment. Just tell him that Matthew will give him a call later."
Selina entered the Perry Group building with ease.
This was because almost everyone had been told that she was Matthew's wife.
Selina took the President's private elevator.
Just that moment, Caroline was walking in the same direction and she was shocked to see Selina entering the elevator.
She stood there in a daze.
At that same moment, the door of the elevator closed.
Caroline was confused.
After speaking to Selina, she had decided to resign from Perry Group building and return to the US, taking nothing with her.
She had prepared her resignation letter but hadn't sent it to the administrative office.
This was because she'd wanted to hand it in personally to Matthew, though she was aware that it was not the appropriate procedure.
However, she had wanted to have her way for this one last time.
What she did not expect was bumping into Selina.
Didn't Selina say that she had nothing to do with Matthew anymore? Didn't she say that they were divorced?
If so, why was she there to look for Matthew?
Selina entered Matthew's office.
Matthew was sitting behind a large desk, reading through the documents.
"Matthew," Selina walked over and called out his name.
Matthew raised his head and was shocked to see Selina in his office.
However, he concealed his emotions instantly.
He remained indifferent as if he was facing a stranger, "Why are you here?"
Selina held her breath for a second.
She was not used to seeing Matthew treating her with that attitude.
However, she should not care about this at that
moment.
She went straight to the point, "I have something to tell you. Just one."
"Selina, I am working," Matthew interrupted Selina out of a sudden. He looked at Selina coldly and said indifferently, "I will not talk about anything else other than work- related matters during my working hours. Please save your words until I get off work later."
After saying that, Matthew lowered his head and continued to look at the documents on the table.
Selina looked at Matthew and said, shocked, "Matthew, why have you become this way?"
Matthew said without looking at Selina, "I've always been like this. I used to treat you differently. But, I don't have to do so anymore."
Selina was stunned.
She was suddenly choked by her feelings.
Matthew was right. Based on their current relationship, he did not have to treat her differently.
However, she was not used to his current attitude and felt a sudden sadness.
Seeing Matthew ignoring her, she became anxious.
She took the documents from Matthew's desk immediately.
Matthew finally raised his head. He looked at Selina coldly.
Seeing Matthew staring at her, Selina was so shocked that she lost her breath.
Then, she took a deep breath and said, "Matthew, it is not my wish to disturb you. I promise I'll leave after I said what I wanted to. I'm sorry for wasting your time, but my grandfather is back. Everyone in my family is keeping the news of our divorce from him because he is in poor health now. He shouldn't be agitated anymore."
Selina paused and looked at Matthew with a pleading look, "We told him that you are on a business trip. But, he suddenly wants to have a phone call with you. Please help!"
After saying this, tears welled up within Selina's eyes. At that point, Selina's helpless plea had created an indescribable feeling in Matthew.
A moving emotion.
