Selina saw the woman's face as soon as she walked over.
Just as Selina's initial impression of her had been, she was cute.
She was fair-skinned, black-haired, and had jet-black eyes.
It was a shame that there was a hint of cunning in her gaze. Those who knew how to play petty tricks had the same look in their eyes.
The girl was shocked when she saw Selina.
Matthew stood up.
He smiled at Selina as if the cold attitude from the day before had never existed. "You're up?"
"Aren't you stating the obvious?" The corners of her mouth twitched.
Matthew didn't seem to blame Selina for being rude to him in front of outsiders. Instead, his smile became even more affectionate.
"Jack, who is she?" A sweet voice suddenly rang out.
There was a trace of hostility on her face as she stood up.
Matthew put his hand on Selina's waist. "Rainee, I forgot to introduce her to you. This is my wife, Selina."
The girl froze.
Shock, hostility, disbelief and despair were written on Rainee's face.
After a while, the girl stammered, "Jack, you, when did you get married? Why haven't I heard about it?"
"Not long ago," Matthew answered. "I just forgot to inform everyone."
She seemed to be dumbfounded.
"Aren't you going to the office?" Selina broke the silence.
She didn't like the atmosphere.
"I'm going now."
He was supposed to have left long ago, but Rainee's sudden visit had taken up some of his time.
"Send the young lady back on your way." Selina glanced at the girl who was still reeling from shock.
She didn't want Matthew to leave while this girl was still in the house.
For some reason, she didn't like Rainee very much.
It wasn't because of how Erine had described her.
She didn't know what Rainee's intentions were. Selina couldn't care less even if she wanted to seduce Matthew.
Whatever the case was, she had no feelings for Matthew. It didn't matter if other women tried to seduce him.
He wore a strange expression.
He whispered in her ear, "Selina, are you sure you want your husband to send another woman home? Hmm?"
There was a sense of oppression to his voice.
She raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly. "Is it not allowed?"
"Aren't you worried?" Matthew forced a tight smile.
"What do I have to be worried about?"
"Aren't you worried that your husband will be taken away by another woman?" Matthew's gaze was dark.
Selina swallowed.
She smiled even wider. "I'm not worried. You wouldn't be taken away by another woman, would you?"
Matthew relaxed.
"Rainee drove here," Matthew said.
"Oh." Selina lost interest.
Matthew turned to Rainee and said, "I'm going to my office now."
Rainee immediately said, "I'm leaving too. I was going to go back after I gave you the invitation card."
Rainee said extra sweetly, "Goodbye, Selina."
