"What did you just say?"
"Mr. Perry, the meeting is about to start."
"Tell everyone that the meeting is cancelled. I'm going out." Matthew said.
The assistant was relieved when he heard that the meeting was cancelled.
Everyone in the company could see that Matthew wasn't in the right state to work.
"Mr. Perry, where are you going? Do you need me to arrange for a driver?" The assistant said respectfully.
"There's no need for that." After saying that, Matthew left the president's office.
The assistant explained to the executives, who had already arrived in the conference room, that the meeting was cancelled.
The executives immediately began gossiping among themselves.
"Indeed, the meeting should be cancelled. I saw that Mr. Perry didn't look so good. At first, I was worried that he might faint while driving like last time." "I don't know what happened to Mr. Perry. He has
been acting strange recently. He wasn't even like this when his controversy went viral on the internet."
"Yes, I've wanted to mention Mr. Perry's poor state after seeing him like this everyday."
One of the executives stopped the assistant. "Do you know what happened? How did Mr. Perry become like this?"
The assistant looked awkward. "Well, I don't know either. He should be better in a while."
Matthew left the Perry Group in a daze.
He didn't know where to go.
He just walked wherever his feet brought him.
Creak!
Suddenly, the car stopped.
A head popped out of the window.
The man was about to curse.
He was driving carefully when a man came over out of nowhere. If it wasn't for his quick reaction, he would have crashed into him.
However, when the man saw Matthew, he stopped cursing.
The man in front of him looked like a zombie, giving people goosebumps.
What's more, he was dressed from head to toe in branded clothing, so it was evident that he was a big shot.
The man accepted his bad luck but still couldn't help shouting, "Hey, be careful when you walk in the future. I almost hit you,"
Matthew paused for a moment before quickly walking forward.
His mind was still in chaos.
He walked downtown where someone was working on a building on the fourth floor.
A girl passed by.
She caught Matthew's eyes.
She was in a red skirt, and her figure was almost like Selina's.
Matthew became even more confused.
"Selina," He murmured.
Suddenly, as if he was suddenly recovering from his shock, Matthew quickly walked over to the girl. "Selina," He cried out.
All of a sudden, something huge fell from the tall building. It was going to fall right onto the girl.
"Be careful, Selina!" Without thinking, Matthew ran forward and pushed the girl.
The girl was pushed away, but that thing hit
Matthew instead.
"Someone is dead! This is bad!" A witness shouted.
The girl rushed toward Matthew, who was lying on the ground. "Are you alright?"
Matthew laid in a puddle of blood, but his eyes were open.
After seeing the girl's face, Matthew's eyes darkened.
It turned out that she was not Selina.
Matthew closed his eyes.
