Caroline smiled. "You wouldn't know. We're talking about Matthew here. He's such an excellent man, even I can't be arrogant in front of him."
Selina gave Caroline some encouragement. "It's okay, you can definitely do it."
That was what Selina thought. In many people's eyes, Caroline was definitely more likable than she was. Since Matthew had liked her, she was sure that Caroline would be even more worthy of his interest.
"Then I'll call him and make plans for lunch together. When the time comes, just try your best." Selina took out her mobile phone.
Caroline became nervous, and she fixed her gaze on Selina's phone.
Selina's gaze hardened slightly, and then she smiled helplessly.
She rarely saw Caroline like this, so nervous and insecure.
The call was quickly connected.
"Hello, Mr. Perry is having a meeting now. He will call back when the meeting is over."
This time, it was not Matthew's clear voice as usual, but the voice of an unfamiliar man.
Selina was stunned. "He's having a meeting?"
"Yes, Mr. Perry is having a meeting. He will get back to you afterwards."
After that, the phone was hung up.
Selina looked at Caroline with some shock. "He... He's in a meeting."
Meanwhile, Caroline was not as surprised as Selina. She said matter- of- factly, "Someone as busy as Matthew definitely wouldn't be able to pick up at any time. Let's just wait."
"Okay." Selina felt a little strange.
She knew that Matthew must be busy, but she never thought that he would be so busy that he would not even have time to answer the phone. After all, something like this had never happened when she called in the past. Her calls were always answered by Matthew himself.
After waiting for an hour, Selina still did not receive a call from Matthew.
It was nearly lunchtime.
Selina called Matthew again.
However, this time, it was the same person who picked up the phone. He repeated that Matthew was currently having a meeting and that he could not pick up.
Selina said subconsciously, "Tell him that I'm Selina and that I have something to talk to him about."
The person on the other end of the line said apologetically, "Mr. Perry won't answer the phone for anyone when he's having a meeting. I'm sorry."
Hearing the beeping sound from the phone, Selina felt a little bit helpless.
She did not know that Matthew was so busy.
Meanwhile, she looked towards Caroline. "I'm sorry, he's still in a meeting."
Caroline smiled. "It's okay. We can have lunch ourselves and then have dinner together with him."
"Alright." Selina grinned.
She and Caroline then found a place to have lunch. After eating, they sat down and chatted for a while. Before they knew it, time had passed by in a flash.
By the time Selina checked, it was four o'clock in the evening.
She was slightly stunned. Why was Matthew's meeting going on for so long? Even now, he had not called back.
Selina could not help but call again.
This time, Matthew was the one who picked up.
"Matthew, why didn't you call me back?" Selina could not help but ask.
Matthew was the one who had answered, proving that the meeting had already ended. Why had he not called her back when he knew that she had called?
"Is there a problem?" Matthew did not answer Selina's question directly. His tone was low, and there was no emotion in it.
"Of course there is. Why would I call you for no reason?" Selina replied subconsciously.
She had been spoiled since she was a child. The fact that Matthew had not called her back made Selina feel subconsciously unhappy.
