Lothar took advantage of the situation and bragged, "That's right, I told you that I'm still very popular. Look, someone is asking for me now." Lothar smiled and left the ward with his phone.
As soon as he was out of the ward, the smile on his face disappeared, "Hello, who is this?"
"Me."
Lothar was speechless.
"Have you changed your phone number?"
"No, this is a bit complicated. Let's talk about it when we meet. If you have time, can we meet up?"
Lothar thought for a moment. He had just finished feeding Yesseca and she was about to go to bed.
Moreover, he had not been out for a long time, so he took this opportunity to convince Yesseca that he was off to film another movie to ease her worries.
"Okay, tell me the location. I'll be there in a jiffy."
After hanging up the phone, Lothar headed back into the ward.
Yesseca was already lying on the bed. It looked like she was about to rest.
Lothar shook Yesseca's hand gently and said, "Yesseca, I am going to film a movie. Have a good rest."
Yesseca nodded obediently.
Lothar added, "I have earned a lot of money from filming. You can tell me what you want to eat. I can buy you anything that you want."
Yesseca smiled sweetly, "Okay, Lothar."
Lothar's heart ached as he walked out of the ward.
He was lying to Yesseca.
Recently, he had really been living a hard life. Yesseca's illness was going to cost money again, and he had already spent every penny of the 200,000 dollars Reid had given him.
Besides, Reid had not introduced him to any directors or investors.
When he asked, Reid answered coldly, "I haven't arranged for you to do anything important, yet you are asking for a reward. Didn't I give you two hundred thousand dollars?"
Lothar wasn't a pushover but he knew that he was no match for Reid.
He could only swallow his anger.
Selina and Lothar met at a tea shop.
Selina ordered a dozen cups of milk tea.
"You're in a bad mood again?" Lothar asked in astonishment.
Selina nodded, "You're smart."
Then, she took a large gulp of the milk tea in front of her.
Lothar sat down across from her, "Then I'll drink with you."
He was also in a bad mood.
The two of them drank more than ten cups of milk teas on the table in less than ten minutes. The surrounding customers watched them in amazement but did not say anything.
Selina was the top socialites in the upper class. She'd never cared about how others saw her as she was confident in herself.
As for Lothar, he had experienced the cold stares from others when he had nothing. He had long since accustomed to it.
"Are you feeling better now?" Lothar asked.
Selina nodded and asked Lothar in return, "What time is it now?"
Lothar glanced at his phone, "Two o'clock."
Selia nodded with a thoughtful look.
It was two o'clock. It had been a long time since her last phone call to Matthew. She wondered if Matthew had realized that she had disappeared and whether he was anxious and was frantically looking for her.
"Where's your phone? Why did it suddenly change to another number?" Lothar asked again.
The corner of Selina's lips twitched, "I threw my phone away."
Lothar was at a loss for words.
