She said with a clear voice, "Mr. Perry, I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation."
Matthew smiled politely and then reached out and grasped her hand in a handshake.
He made it short, withdrawing his hand almost immediately.
It was an incredibly polite handshake.
Jenna felt a little awkward because Matthew was being too polite.
Even so, she was still happy thinking about it. After all, she had managed to shake hands with Matthew, the president of the Perry Group.
She felt as if Matthew's warmth was still lingering in her hand.
Not long after Mathhew left, Jenna received a phone call from her agent, Alisha.
Alisha urged Jenna, "Jenna, where have you been? A boss of a snack company would like you to be their ambassador. Hurry over now."
Although it was not anything big, with Jenna's fame, it was still an opportunity.
It was better than nothing.
"Alisha, I have just become the ambassador of JS Jewelry. I don't think I am able to be the ambassador for the snack company," Jenna said.
JS's reputation would be affected if Jenna, as their ambassador, agreed to be the ambassador for a snack.
"Jenna, are you crazy? JS Jewelry is a subsidiary company of the Perry Group. They only want famous celebrities as their ambassadors. Stop dreaming and come now," Alisha sounded unhappy.
"Alisha, it's true. Yvonne introduced this job to me."
Hearing this, Alisha was stunned.
After a while, she asked, "Where are you now?"
Jenna smiled brightly and said excitedly, "I'm now in Perry Group headquarters. I just met with the president."
It was soon time for dinner.
Cecilia pulled Selina aside before dinner. "Selina, you'd better ask Matthew to join us for dinner tonight. Otherwise, I'm afraid Dad might suspect something."
Selina held her breath for a second.
She hesitated and said, "Can't we tell Grandpa that
Matthew is on a business trip?"
She didn't want to ask Matthew for help anymore.
Cecilia looked at Selina reproachfully and said, " Matthew just came back yesterday. Do you think Dad would believe us if we told him that Matthew was on another business trip? Even if he doesn't suspect anything, he would definitely be unhappy."
Selina lowered her head.
After a while, she said reluctantly, "I got it. I'll give him a call now."
Cecilia could not bear to see Selina this way.
She thought of calling Matthew on her behalf but decided against it.
Selina was used to acting egoistically, so this would be a lesson to her.
It would serve as a reminder in the future, not to get into any more trouble.
Selina went back to her room.
She took out her mobile phone. After hesitating for a long time, she gave Matthew a phone call.
The phone rang several times before it was connected.
"I'm busy now. Please make it short," Matthew said in his deep voice.
His tone was quite indifferent with a tinge of
coldness.
Selina felt somewhat heartbroken.
She was not used to Matthew's current attitude towards her. She did not like it as well.
"Do you have anything on tonight?" Selina asked.
"Yes, work," Matthew said directly without asking what she had in mind.
Selina felt stuck.
In the past, Selina would definitely have hung up the phone.
However, that nightmare she'd had caused her to give in.
If anything happened to Peter, she would regret it deeply.
