Matthew realized something when he saw Lothar, the young man who resembled Dylan.
He knew that he no longer had a chance with Selina.
"Misunderstand..." Selina murmured. She then hurriedly said, "I know you're angry because I misunderstood you, but I really didn't know. I thought that there was something between you and that actress when I saw you two together, I..."
Selina was in a hurry, and she was almost out of breath. She inhaled deeply before continuing, "But then Natalie told me that she arranged this. She told me there was nothing between you and Jenna. I know it now. Matthew, I won't misunderstand you anymore."
Matthew's gaze was cold and bleak.
It didn't matter anymore.
It didn't matter even if Selina had misunderstood him and Jenna.
"Selina, let go of me. I have to go back to work," Matthew said.
Selina's heart sank.
She didn't know why Matthew still wanted her to leave despite her explaining everything.
However, she was a stubborn person.
The more Matthew wanted her to leave, the more she refused to.
With her chin high up in the air, Selina stated, "I won't leave, Matthew. I will not leave this place."
Matthew's gaze became a little deeper.
"If you won't go, I will." Matthew then turned around to leave.
Selina quickly grabbed onto the sleeve of his shirt and said, "Don't go."
Matthew turned around, and his gaze fell on her hand.
His stare was deep, as if it was hiding infinite power inside, as if there was something surging within.
He said with a strange emotion in his tone, "I remember telling you not to pull on a man's clothes this casually."
Selina was startled.
She remembered that Matthew did tell her this.
Back then, when Peter came back, she approached Matthew to put on an act with her. She came to the Perry Group to look for him.
At that time, Matthew's attitude was as frosty as it
was right then.
Selina felt that the energy in both of her hands was drained away.
She let go of the hand holding onto Matthew's sleeve, and the other hand which was holding the new phone as well.
Slam!
With a crisp sound, the phone fell.
The phone was packed in a box, and the box was a little heavy. It slammed right onto Selina's feet.
"Ouch!" Selina cried out in pain.
Matthew trembled a little.
However, in that split second, he left.
Selina felt like she had fallen into a cave of ice.
She felt like she was freezing, and she was in pain.
Her feet hurt, but her heart hurt more.
Tears streamed down her cheeks like beads falling off a broken necklace.
Matthew had left just like that.
This was the only thought in her mind.
He left, so coldly and so heartlessly, despite seeing the box falling on her feet.
He didn't even check to see if she was injured.
Her tears fell even more violently.
Selina stood there like a fool without moving an inch, tears flowing down her cheeks. She stood there until Matthew returned back.
Without any warning, he was standing in front of Selina again.
His handsome face was like a sculpture, devoid of emotion.
Seeing that Matthew had returned, Selina didn't feel happier. In fact, she sobbed even harder.
Matthew's heart ached when he saw Selina's face covered in tears.
Selina was his antithesis, and nothing could change that.
