After saying that, Matthew walked away.
Selina was dazed.
She hadn't even had the chance to get angry yet!
A moment ago, she had been forcefully kissed by him. Wasn't this a case of him taking advantage of her? Wasn't she the one who had been wronged? Why was he the one who was acting like he had been wronged?
She had just been trying to introduce him to her friend, so how was this making fun of him?
When Selina was still confused, her phone rang. It was from Caroline.
Only then did Selina remember that Caroline was still in the private room. She hurriedly hung up the phone and rushed over.
Along the way, Matthew's breath lingered on her lips, it tasted cool and fresh.
After Selina entered the room, she saw that Caroline was alone.
It was as she had expected, Matthew had not returned to the private room after he kissed her.
Caroline's face was full of apprehension and frustration. "Selina, Matthew said that he had something to do, and he just left. What should I do? Is he unsatisfied with me?"
Caroline pointed to herself again. "Is it because I'm not beautiful enough, or is it because I've put on too much makeup? Does Matthew prefer a more natural look?"
Selina bit her lip.
She also did not know what went wrong. Caroline was indeed beautiful, so why didn't Matthew seem to be interested in her?
What's more, he even inexplicably forcefully kissed her and said all those strange things to her.
"Selina, perhaps he's...?" Caroline suddenly thought of something. "Could it be that Matthew didn't notice my intentions at all? I immediately talked about matters regarding architecture as soon as I arrived. Therefore, he must have thought that I was solely here to ask for advice. That's why he was acting so indifferently."
Various mixed emotions flashed through Selina's eyes..
Impossible. She had clearly told Matthew about it a moment ago. However, Matthew looked even more displeased. Could it be...
A thought flashed through her mind.
She finally understood!
Matthew had just said that she was making fun of him!
Could it be that Matthew thought that the reason why she asked Caroline to come along with her was to make fun of him, and that was why he was angry?
She slowly licked her dry lips.
Maybe it was just a misunderstanding.
"Selina, what do you think I should do?" Caroline pulled at Selina's arm. "If you didn't tell me about Matthew, I won't have felt such an attachment towards him. However, after meeting him, I feel as though my heart belongs to him. Don't you know how charming he looks? I think I really am in love with him."
Selina was speechless.
She smiled awkwardly and said, "You fell in love with him, despite this being the first time meeting him? Isn't that an exaggeration?"
Caroline strongly nodded, "I'm not exaggerating. A handsome and outstanding man like Matthew is enough to make me fall in love with him within one second."
Selina was speechless.
Since Caroline really liked Matthew, she felt that she needed to help her.
"Don't worry, there's still a chance. Stay here for a few days, I'll help you create an opportunity."
Caroline excitedly hugged her and said, "Selina, you're the best. You're indeed my best friend."
Selina's mouth twitched, and her eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
It should be impossible for Matthew not to be tempted by someone as beautiful as Caroline. All she had to do was explain to Matthew that they had no intention of making fun of him. That would solve everything.
The next day, Selina received a call from Dylan.
"Selina, do you have time now? I want to meet you." Dylan asked in a deep tone.
Ever since she left the hospital that day, Selina had never went again.
