Natalie let out a wry laugh.
"Yvonne, Matthew is Selina's ex-husband."
Yvonne was taken aback.
She then hurriedly said, "Then let's head back. I can't ruin his relationship with Selina."
Natalie grabbed Yvonne. "Forget it. He's already her ex-husband, after all."
"What if they make up?" Yvonne asked.
Natalie shook her head. "Yvonne, do you remember what I told you back in the ward? That was about Matthew and Selina."
Yvonne's breathing froze for a while.
The affectionate man Natalie mentioned turned out to be Matthew.
Natalie continued, "It's absolutely impossible for Selina to have feelings for Matthew. That's why it wouldn't be a bad thing to see if he likes the girl you introduced to him."
Meanwhile, back in the private room.
Jenna was looking formal and restrained, whereas Matthew seemed to be at ease.
"Mr. Perry, I'm sorry for that incident, I'm truly sorry," Jenna bit her lips as she apologized. Her cheeks were flushed.
Matthew plainly replied, "It's fine. It's all in the past, and I didn't take it to heart."
Although Matthew said that, Jenna still decided to explain the whole thing.
By the end of her sentence, she stated in a serious tone, "Mr. Perry, don't worry, I won't let this happen again. I wouldn't use anyone as a stepping stone in my career."
Matthew gave a simple smile. "After this meal, we should just forget about this. You should let go of it too."
Jenna nodded. "Of course, Mr. Perry."
Selina and Lothar went to a restaurant nearby.
However, it was already full.
The waiter told them that there were no tables left in the main hall, but they had one private room left.
"Let's go with that then," Selina said casually.
After all, there was nothing to hide between her and Lothar. She never saw him in that way. Therefore, it wouldn't mean anything for them to have a meal in a private room.
Their private room number was 503.
They walked into an elevator, which was packed like a can of sardines.
Lothar stepped out and said to Selina, "You can go ahead first. I'll join you later."
Selina then made her way to the fifth floor.
She looked for private room number 503.
Selina pushed the door open, and she was dumbstruck.
There were people inside, and Selina knew them. They were none other than Matthew and Jenna.
They also heard someone pushing the door open. They turned around and spotted Selina.
Selina's mind started buzzing.
After a while, she suddenly slammed the door shut. She turned around and walked away.
Her mind was in chaos.
In the private room, Matthew came back to his senses.
He stood up and chased after her.
Selina was walking slowly, and Matthew could easily spot her after he rushed out of the room. He quickly grabbed onto her.
"Selina," he called in a somewhat hurried tone.
She slowly turned around.
Her gaze slowly fell on Matthew as she uttered,
"Didn't you say there's nothing between you and that actress?"
She sounded calm, too calm.
"Selina, there's nothing between us," Matthew insisted.
"Then why were you having lunch together?" Selina raised her voice.
Matthew was about to explain when someone suddenly called out, "Selina, did you go to the wrong room? I've been waiting for you in room 503..."
Lothar's words came to a sudden halt.
He saw that a man was grabbing hold of Selina.
As for Matthew, he was also startled upon seeing Lothar.
Matthew got reminded of a scene.
A scene where Selina kissed a man on the forehead.
Back then, he had thought the man was Dylan.
