Selina could hear Natalie and Cecilia's voices.
Her face turned pale and she quickly pulled Saoirse aside.
"Listen to me, Saoirse." Selina whispered. "My mother and my sister- in- law are coming now. Don't tell anyone about your relationship with Matthew, just say that you're his assistant. Otherwise, my mother will go crazy. Please, Saoirse, I'm begging you."
Selina's eyes were full of pleading.
Saoirse was stunned for a moment.
Selina's pleading eyes made it impossible for her to refuse.
Moments later, she nodded in agreement. "Alright."
Just then, Cecilia and Natalie approached.
Both of them turned their gaze upon Saoirse, their eyes filled with amazement.
Selina composed herself and said, "Mom, Natalie, this is one of Matthew's employee. She came specially to see Matthew."
Cecilia and Natalie thought this was a little strange.
Why would a mere employee come to visit Matthew? Even so, they didn't think much about it.
They nodded at Saoirse.
Saoirse forced out a smile in return.
"By the way, Matthew should be awake by now, right?" Cecilia asked.
Selina's face was a little pale.
She nodded. "He's okay. Mom, you and Natalie should go back first. I'll be fine here. Anyway, he's getting better."
"I'll go take a look at Matthew then," Cecilia said.
Selina stood in Cecilia's way and said, "Mom, I don't think it's very convenient. Why don't you just go back first."
Cecilia grew suspicious. "Selina, is there something wrong with Matthew?"
Selina shook her head profusely.
"If he's okay then I'll go and have a look."
"Mom, don't go!"
Cecilia confirmed her suspicions and asked, "Is Matthew not doing well? Is he in a critical condition? Selina, answer my questions!"
Natalie was also nervous.
With Cecilia's continuous questioning, Selina grew impatient.
She had already been under extreme pressure, and at this moment, it felt like the last straw.
Selina knelt down on the ground.
She covered her face with her hands. "Mom, Matthew's condition is deteriorating, it's getting worse."
Yesseca called Selina.
She wanted to ask Selina if she could introduce her to any good jobs.
Since the day she found out that Lothar was not a superstar and that they didn't have much money, Yesseca had taken it upon herself to find a job.
There was no pressure to find a job back then, but now it was different.
After all, she finally understood the actual situation that her family was in.
She knew that Selina would find a way.
The call quickly connected.
"Miss Whitlock, I would like to ask for your help." Yesseca opened her mouth and spoke.
Selina's voice sounded tired. "Yesseca, whatever it is, it can wait. I'm busy right now, we will talk about it later."
Yesseca's heart skipped a beat.
"Miss Whitlock, what's wrong?"
Selina's tone made her worry.
"It's nothing. Let's talk about it later, Yesseca, I'm busy at the moment." After that, Selina hung up the phone.
Yesseca concern for her grew.
She wanted to call Selina again but she was afraid of disturbing her. After some consideration, she decided to call Lothar.
