This man knew what had happened between her and Matthew.
"Sure." A glimmer of light flashed through Selina's eyes.
The two of them went into the coffee shop.
Selina ordered a cup of cappuccino while Matheo got an americano.
"Why did you invite me for coffee all of a sudden?" Selina got straight to the point.
Generally, there were only two possibilities for a man to buy a woman coffee.
First, it would be because the woman was a friend and he wanted to catch up with her.
The second was that he wanted to hit on the woman.
Neither options were likely to be true here.
First of all, she and Matheo weren't close friends. They were far from the point of having coffee together to catch up.
Secondly, Matheo had already called her "Mrs. Perry". He definitely didn't have any intention of hitting on her.
Matheo smiled. "It's just that I'm a little interested in the news today. And I happened to see you so I thought I'd ask you about it."
"Oh." Selina said calmly, "What do you want to ask?"
"Miss Whitlock, you're the one who took the picture, right?" he asked.
"You're quite smart." She took a sip of her coffee.
"Why?"
Selina raised her eyebrows. "Because I wanted to do it."
Matheo chuckled.
There had been rumors that she didn't do things based on common sense. It was true.
It's not very good for the news to be on the internet forever. It would be best if it didn't exist anymore," he said.
Selina was slightly moved.
Perhaps this was the real reason why he had invited her for coffee.
It seemed that the man sitting in front of her was not only smart, but also wanted the best for Matthew.
"Matthew is absolutely capable of that. The public relations department of the Perry Group is not incapable," said Selina.
"But he has no intention of removing the news about himself."
"Mm." The corners of her lips curled slightly.
"Because Matthew said that his wife likes it. Since she liked it, he said to leave it up."
She put down the cup of coffee that she was holding and looked straight at Matheo. "Since you already know his answer, why did you come to me again?"
Matheo kept silent.
It was a kind of feeling he couldn't describe.
He could tell from Matthew's tone that he was full of love for Miss Whitlock. But from today's conversation with Selina, it didn't seem that she reciprocated that same feeling.
He had wanted to talk to Selina because he wanted her to persuade Matthew to remove the news. Although it wasn't negative news, it would be better if it no longer existed.
But he didn't expect that Selina wouldn't share the same concern.
Furthermore, there was a kind of...
He didn't know if it was just him thinking too much, but he felt that she wanted to see Matthew become a laughingstock.
Matheo changed the topic. "Miss Whitlock, when are you getting married to Matthew? Aren't you having a wedding ceremony?"
"Wedding ceremony?" The corner of Selina's lips twitched. "Oh, are you so eager to give us a gift?"
Matheo's expression didn't change at all. "The Perry family and Whitlock family aren't short on money. I'm not in a rush to give a gift. I just want to attend Miss Whitlock and Matthew's grand wedding."
Selina forced a smile. "Keep waiting. Wait till the sea dries up and crumbles."
The corners of Matheo's lips twitched. "Miss Whitlock, you really know how to make a joke."
She stood up. "That's what everyone says. I've finished my coffee so I'll be leaving."
"I'll walk you out." Matheo stood up.
Selina didn't object.
As she followed Matheo out and was about to get into the car, a car parked next to them opened the door.
