Caroline was feeling anxious while waiting.
She kept pointing at herself and asked Selina, "Selina, do I look pretty enough? Can you help me take a look?"
Selina felt helpless.
Finally, she took out a small mirror and placed it in front of Caroline. "Miss Caroline, take a look yourself. You're already beautiful beyond comparison. When Matthew sees you, he'll definitely be mesmerized by your beauty. Don't think too much about it."
Caroline looked at herself in the mirror. She was indeed gorgeous.
She calmed down a little, and a smile appeared on her lips.
Just then, they could hear footsteps.
The sound of the footsteps was calm and noble. This startled Selina and Caroline.
The next moment, a tall and charming man came in.
As always, he wore a well-fitting dark black suit, and the silver dark designs on his necktie gleamed. His deep gaze was captivating.
At this moment, he did not look as refined as he used to be, instead he had a cold and domineering aura.
As soon as he walked in, it was as though the whole room was illuminated.
Caroline could only feel her heart thumping as if it was about to jump out of her chest.
This was the first time she saw Matthew himself, he was even more charming than she had imagined.
At the same time, Matthew's gaze landed on Caroline. A trace of astonishment flashed across his face.
When Selina asked him out, he thought it would be only Selina, he did not expect to see someone else.
Selina saw Matthew's face, and was surprised by his stunned look when he saw Caroline.
She was struck by a thought.
It seemed that dressing Caroline beautifully tonight was worth it!
Selina thought to herself that Matthew must've been mesmerized by Caroline's beauty. That was why he looked stunned.
Selina was delighted. It seemed that Matthew and Caroline had a chance!
Caroline also stood up. Her usually calm and composed appearance changed. It was as though she was meeting her idol. "Mr. Perry, my name is Caroline. Nice to meet you, I'm Selina's friend."
Matthew nodded lightly. "Nice to meet you."
He sounded emotionless.
Selina handed the menu to Caroline, "Caroline, what would you like to eat?"
Caroline immediately gave the menu to Matthew, "Mr. Perry, what do you want to eat?"
But soon after, Matthew handed the menu back to Selina. "You can help us order."
Selina was speechless.
She didn't expect the menu to be returned to her.
She casually ordered some dishes.
While they were waiting to be served, Caroline began talking to Matthew. Since she majored in architecture in college, so she asked Matthew some architecture questions.
Caroline had planned this deliberately.
She knew that Matthew was the president. However, he also had another identity. He was an outstanding architect, and he had provided the draft design for a palace in a particular country.
She wanted to use this opportunity to ask Matthew some questions to get closer to him.
Selina, on the other hand, was confused when she heard Caroline asking Matthew architecture questions.
She thought to herself, Matthew was a businessman. Matthew at most would only know questions regarding financial matters. Would Matthew know how to answer if Caroline asked questions that were out of his realm of expertise?
However, what surprised her was that Matthew understood these questions. Furthermore, compared to Caroline, who specialized in architecture, Matthew was very qualified and could even be Caroline's mentor.
When the dishes were served, Matthew timely stopped talking about this topic.
