Matthew stood up. "Sorry, I need to take this call."

"Sure, I'll wait for you," Saoirse answered with a smile.

Matthew went to a corner and answered the phone.

His fingertips were trembling for no reason.

"Matthew, guess why I called." Selina sounded mischievous.

"Selina. Is it anything urgent?" Matthew did not play along with Selina.

Selina could tell that Matthew was not in the mood to entertain her antics.

She stopped playing around and said, "I'll bring you lunch at noon, okay?"

It had been a long time since she brought a lunchbox for Matthew. Erine had taught her some dishes that day and she couldn't wait to share them with Matthew. Matthew lowered his voice. "It's okay, Selina. Don't trouble yourself."

"I don't mind bringing lunch to your office. I have nothing to do anyway." "Please, Selina. There's no need to." Matthew's voice was rough.

"Matthew, what's wrong?" Selina asked carefully.

"Nothing." Matthew adjusted his tone. "I have to hang up now, I'll talk to you later."

Selina was a little crestfallen by Matthew's words.

But soon she cheered up.

Maybe Matthew was just busy with work.

"Alright, I'll wait for you tonight." With that, she hung up.

Hearing the beeping tone, Matthew was silent for a few minutes. He turned and walked back to the dining table.

Saoirsewas waiting patiently for him with a faint smile on her lips.

"William. You're back." Saoirse's eyes searched his face.

An apologetic look appeared in Matthew's eyes. "Saoirse, I'm sorry. I can't give you an answer right now."

Saoirse was taken aback.

"Why is that?" She asked.

Matthew could not tell her the truth.
