"If you don't want me to think too much, then come and eat," Erine said quickly.
Selina finally got up.
Erine served her some risotto.
Selina chewed on her food silently. She couldn't taste anything.
Tears suddenly fell from her eyes as she ate.
Erine was shocked.
Erine cried out in a panic, "Miss Whitlock, did something happen to Matthew? Tell me the truth!"
Ever since Erine had gone to the Perry Group headquarters and seen Saoirse there, she had become paranoid, constantly worrying that Saoirse and Matthew would get together. Matthew had become annoyed with Erine's questionings, so he had blocked her phone number. As a result, Erine couldn't call Matthew even though she really wanted to ask about his condition.
Selina shook her head vigorously and said, "No, it's really not."
She tried her best to hold back her tears, "Erine, don't worry. Nothing happened to Matthew. It's just one of my friends who got into trouble."
Erine's heart skipped a beat.
So it wasn't Matthew that Miss Whitlock was upset about, but her friend?
Did someone died?
Otherwise, why would Miss Whitlock be so upset as to cry?
Since it was regarding Selina's friend, Erine didn't ask anymore.
She comforted her, "Miss Whitlock, things are unpredictable in this world. So it's best that we just accept what fate has in store for us, and not worry about it too much."
Selina didn't say anything.
She continued to eat the food in her bowl.
Soon, the bowl became empty.
Selina handed the bowl to Erine and said, "Erine, I've finished eating. You can go now."
Erine looked at Selina worriedly, "Are you really alright, Miss Whitlock?"
She took the bowl but hesitated.
Selina's voice was a little hoarse, "Erine, I want to be alone for a while. Would you let me?"
Upon hearing this, Erine had no choice but to leave.
"Miss Whitlock, please have a good rest. Call me if you need anything."
When Erine left, Selina stared in a daze at the ceiling.
She recalled seeing Lothar for the first time.
He had held a bag of popcorn in his hands and asked if she wanted to eat some.
He was a very fair boy. When he smiled, his eyes were as bright as the crescent moon.
He was very handsome. Although he was not as handsome as her brother and Matthew, but he was special in his own way.
Tobias had a cold persona.
While Matthew was gentle.
Lothar, on the other hand, was very cheerful.
Such a cheerful boy. He made everyone around him feel happy and warm.
Selina had always thought that Lothar was different from everyone else.
There was no evil in his heart. He was always positive and kind.
However, she had never thought that...
Everything turned out to be a setup.
Her meeting with him had been planned.
Her countless encounters with him were all a setup.
Could it be that everything he showed was just a facade?
Selina's heart ached badly.
Right at this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.
When Selina saw the caller's name, her heart suddenly ached even more.
The person who'd called her was Yesseca.
Selina was about to pick up the call when she suddenly stopped.
She thought of something. If everything that Lothar had done was a setup, then what about Yesseca?
Was this a setup too?
Even the story about him and Yesseca that Lothar had told, was it all made up?
Selina's breathing suddenly became rapid.
She was feeling dizzy as her mind had no idea what to believe.
