"Lothar, we don't have much money either, do we?" Yesseca's eyes welled up with tears.
Lothar stayed silent.
At this point, it was impossible for him to keep up with his lies.
Yesseca wiped away the tears and started laughing. "Lothar, I won't cry. It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter if we don't have money or that you're not a big star. Our luck will turn eventually. We've endured all kinds of hardships together. If we got through the time when Mother jumped off a building and ended things, there is nothing that we can't overcome."
Lothar was stunned.
He wrapped Yesseca in a tight hug and said in a choked voice, "Yessece, we will make it one day. I will definitely give you a good life."
What surprised Saoirse was that Matthew didn't come looking for her.
In fact, she started to feel uneasy.
Could it be that Matthew went to get his marriage certificate with Selina despite her disapproval?
Saoirse's heartbeat quickened.
The next day, she went to the company early in the morning.
She headed to the pantry and prepared a cup of Americano.
When she arrived at Matthew's office, Saoirse gently knocked on the door.
There was no response.
Saoirse pushed the door open.
There was no one in the office.
"Hasn't William arrived yet?"
Saoirse waited for him.
However, Matthew still did not show up in the office even when it turned ten o'clock that morning.
Saoirse couldn't wait any longer and called Matthew's assistant, Hagen.
Hagen's voice was laced with anguish. "Saoirse, Mr. Perry is in trouble."
Saoirse was taken aback. "What did you say?"
Hagen went on, "Mr. Perry's car crashed into another vehicle the previous day. He is currently still in the hospital."
"Bang!"
Saoirse's grip loosened and her phone fell to the floor, making a loud noise.
A moment later, she came to her senses and picked up the phone and said, "Is- is he okay? Which hospital is he at?"
At the end of the other line, Hagen was filled with confusion.
Saoirse's tone was unexpected. Wasn't she just a new employee? Why did she care so much for Matthew?
However, Hagen connected the dots quickly.
Matthew was both good-looking and charming, so it made sense for all bachelorettes to be swooning over him. Such a beautiful assistant would be no exception.
Without hesitation, the assistant told Saoirse which hospital Matthew was at.
If it were someone else, he would not have told them so easily.
However, Saoirse was very beautiful, and men could always make exceptions for beautiful women.
Saoirse hung up the phone after that.
She found a taxi who took her to the hospital where Matthew was at.
When she arrived at the hospital, Saoirse called Hagen again.
Hagen was surprised when he heard that Saoirse had arrived at the hospital.
He didn't expect that Saoirse would really come here.
Hagen panicked and said, "Saoirse, don't come. Mr. Perry's wife is here. She will definitely be upset if she sees you."
Although Saoirse came to see Matthew as a subordinate, her extraordinary beauty could make Selina overthink.
"Where the hell is William?" Saoirse blurted out in a panic.
Hagen was stunned. "William?"
Saoirse corrected herself, "Mr. Perry."
"Saoirse, don't come. Mr. Perry's wife will be unhappy. If she knew that I was the one who told you the location, I will be in trouble."
