At 7 o'clock, my alarm rang. I got up and walked out of the bedroom.
I was stunned when I saw Matthew coming out of the kitchen.
After our conversation in the elevator last night, I thought I would definitely not see him again this morning.
"Go wash up and have breakfast," Matthew said before walking into the kitchen again.
Ten minutes later, I sat at the dining table and stared a t the hearty breakfast in front of me blankly. "Why did you make so much?"
Matthew took a glance at me, sat on the chair, and said flatly, "This might be the last time I prepare food for you."

I had no idea what to say, so I chose to keep quiet. His words made me feel suffocated.
"When will he pick you up?" Matthew asked with a faint smile.
"After I get off work." As I was washing up, I had texted Theo and told him the time I would be getting
off from work.
Matthew nodded. He did not ask for further details.
After having breakfast in silence, we went to Magnificent Pictures Television together.
As I was about to get off work in the evening, Matthew came to my office and asked, "Do you need my help?"
I shook my head slowly. "There aren't many things to d o, though."
Matthew pursed his lips, sat on the sofa, and stared at me with his bottomless eyes.
Although I knew he was in a bad mood, I really had nothing else to say. I already said everything I needed t o say last night.
