She said with a clear voice, "Mr. Perry, I hope we will have a pleasant cooperation." Matthew smiled politely and then reached out and grasped her hand in a handshake.
He made it short, withdrawing his hand almost immediately.
It was an incredibly polite handshake.
Jenna felt a little awkward because Matthew was being too polite.
Even so, she was still happy thinking about it. After all, she had managed to shake hands with Matthew, the president of the Perry Group.
She felt as if Matthew's warmth was still lingering in her hand.
Not long after Mathhew left, Jenna received a phone call from her agent, Alisha.
Alisha urged Jenna, "Jenna, where have you been? A boss of a snack company would like you to be their ambassador. Hurry over now." Although it was not anything big, with Jenna's fame, it was still an opportunity.
It was better than nothing.
"Alisha, I have just becthe ambassador of JS Jewelry. I don't think I am able to be the ambassador for the snack company," Jenna said.
JS's reputation would be affected if Jenna, as their ambassador, agreed to be the ambassador for a snack.
"Jenna, are you crazy? JS Jewelry is a subsidiary company of the Perry Group. They only want famous celebrities as their ambassadors. Stop dreaming and cnow," Alisha sounded unhappy. "Alisha, it's true. Yvonne introduced this job to me." Hearing this, Alisha was stunned.
After a while, she asked, "Where are you now?" Jenna smiled brightly and said excitedly, "I'm now in Perry Group headquarters. I just met with the president." It was soon tfor dinner.
Cecilia pulled Selina aside before dinner. "Selina, you'd better ask Matthew to join us for dinner tonight. Otherwise, I'm afraid Dad might suspect something." Selina held her breath for a second.
She hesitated and said, "Can't we tell Grandpa that Matthew is on a business trip?" She didn't want to ask Matthew for help anymore.
Cecilia looked at Selina reproachfully and said, " Matthew just cback yesterday. Do you think Dad would believe us if we told him that Matthew was on another business trip? Even if he doesn't suspect anything, he would definitely be unhappy." Selina lowered her head.

She thought of calling Matthew on her behalf but decided against it.
Selina was used to acting egoistically, so this would be a lesson to her.
It would serve as a reminder in the future, not to get into any more trouble.
Selina went back to her room.
She took out her mobile phone. After hesitating for a long time, she gave Matthew a phone call.
The phone rang several times before it was connected.
"I'm busy now. Please make it short," Matthew said in his deep voice.
His tone was quite indifferent with a tinge of coldness.
Selina felt somewhat heartbroken.
She was not used to Matthew's current attitude towards her. She did not like it as well.
"Do you have anything on tonight?" Selina asked.
"Yes, work," Matthew said directly without asking what she had in mind.
Selina felt stuck.
In the past, Selina would definitely have hung up the phone.
However, that nightmare she'd had caused her to give in.
If anything happened to Peter, she would regret it deeply.
In order not to let Peter find out the truth, she would do anything.
Selina said softly, "Can you spare stto cover for dinner? Just for dinner." There was silence at the other end of the phone.
"Selina, it would not be just dinner. If I leave after dinner, your grandfather would still be suspicious. I would still need to keep him company after dinner, or even spend the night in your house." Before this, Selina hadn't thought that far. Now that Matthew mentioned it, she realized it was possible.
She bit her lip and said, "Since you're not willing, just forget about it." "I'll be there," Matthew said softly.
Then, he added, "I'm doing this for Peter. I don't wish for anything bad to happen to him either." Hearing this, Selina was disappointed. She had an indescribable feeling as well.
She got a little angry and said, "I know that you are doing this for Grandpa and not me!" After saying that, Selina hung up the phone immediately.
Matthew massaged his temple. He felt tired yet helpless.
Selina was still so willful.
Even now, Matthew was still tolerating her willfulness.
That night, Matthew arrived at Whitlock family's house on tfor dinner.
Natalie felt that the atmosphere in the Whitlock family's house had becquite lively with the presence of Matthew and Tobias.
Matthew and Tobias were extremely handsome. Their existence created an extremely beautiful scene.
Peter brought up the topic of a child during dinner.
Selina, who was drinking her soup in t of the silence heard Peter calling out c "Selina, Matthew, when are you both having a child?" Selina nearly choked on her soup.
She looked embarrassed.
A tissue was handed to her at this moment.
Selina was stunned for a moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe tissue had been handed to her by Matthew.
She took it quietly and wiped the corner of her mouth.
Peter looked at Selina and shook his head. He said, "You don't need ton have such a big reaction even if En you're eager to have a child." Selina was speechless.
Matthew looked at Selina thoughtfully in silence.
"Matthew, when do you plan to have a child?" Peter turned his focus to Matthew.
This time, he asked Matthew directly while ignoring Selina.
Matthew thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Grandpa, this can't be forced. We'll work hard on it." This answer was ambiguous. Yet, Peter was satisfied.
However, that left the rest of the family members embarrassed.
After all, everyone knew that they were divorced.
They continued eating without a word, trying hard to conceal the awkwardness.
With his age, Peter was not as observant as he used to be, so he did not sense anything strange.
