My Heart only Beats for You

Selina had always been a confident woman, but Saoirse was just so pretty that one couldn't help but feel insecure.

"Miss Whitlock, you can't think in such a way." Erine raised her voice. "The fact that Mr. Perry likes you and not her proves that you are better than her!" "Is that so?" "Of course." Erine said with certainty, "Mr. Perry has good taste in women, the woman he likes must be the better woman." Selina felt a little more at ease because of Erine.

Erine continued, "Miss Whitlock, you really shouldn't have invited that woman in. I know that you feel uncomfortable. Since you felt uncomfortable, why bother letting her in?" Selina would not be able to make Erine understand everything about the matter in a short time, thus she said, "Erine, this issue is very complicated, you don't have to worry about it." Erine wanted to say something more, but after hearing Selina's words, she remained quiet and continued cutting the fruits.

At the living room of the villa, Saoirse stared into Matthew's eyes and said, "William, seeing as you are living with her, you love her very much, don't you?" "Yes," Matthew said frankly.

A trace of loneliness flashed through Saoirse's eyes, but it disappeared as quickly as a dragonfly's touch.

"Did my arrival disturb both of you?" Saoirse asked again.

"Yes." Matthew said, "But I promised you that I would spend twith you for half a year. Since I promised you this, I will do it." "William, I know you are a man of your word," Saoirse said with her eyes lowered.

Then, Brine and Selina cout from the kitchen.

Brine placed the plate of fruits and cups of coffee on the coffee table. search the FindNøvelwebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

As Brine left, she glanced at Saoirse with strong defiance in her eyes.

Saoirse could feel Brine's gaze.

Saoirse laughed in her heart.

It seemed that not only did William like Selina, but even the servants did too.

"Miss Welmert, please have scoffee," Selina said.

Selina apologized gracefully like a woman of the manor, "I m sorry that this is the best we can do for now. We were not ready for your arrival." Selina had managed to recompose herself back in the kitchen.

Saoirse glanced at Selina with questions in her eyes.

"No, this is fine." Saoirse picked up her coffee cup.

She took a sip and said, "William. Would you like to go out and have a walk with me?" It was already very late at the moment. Hearing what Saoirse said, a trace of unhappiness flashed through Selina's face.

Matthew sensed Selina's displeasure.

He rejected Saoirse's offer. "It's too late. Although I promised to spend twith you for half a year, I have to consider my wife's feelings. She doesn't wantto go out with another woman at such a late hour. Matthew addressed Selina as his "wife".

The displeasure on Selina's face was gone immediately and she felt much better in her heart.

"Miss Whitlock, would you allow William to calong for a walk with me? You promised to allow William to spend twith me." Selina's gaze was firm when she said, "Yes, I did promise but I'm not willing to let my husband go for a walk together with you so late in the night. If you are adamant about it, why don't I go along with you both?" A flash of emotions passed through Saoirse's eyes.

She smiled and said, "You are right. It's really too late. It's inconvenient to take a walk so late." Selina put on a smile that didn't seem sincere. "Thank you for your understanding, Miss Welmert." After that, Saoirse did not speak and neither did Matthew.

For a moment, the three of them fell into silence.

The silence was soon broken by Saoirse again.

"William, there are only five months left to our six-month agreement, right?" She asked.

"Yes." "I want to work in the next five months. I want to be your secretary, your personal secretary." Matthew stopped breathing.

Selina's gaze began to quiver.

"Saoirse, I can find you other jobs. You need not work for the Perry Group." "No, I want to work for the Perry Group." "Then, I will arrange other positions for you." "William," Saoirse raised her voice.

"You've promisedsix months. It's written on our contract that as long as I don't do anything that crosses the line, you must meet all my requirements. I'm just asking to be your secretary and I don't think that is too much. Or," Saoirse then 2gave Selina a deep look and continued, "Are you afraid that you'll lose control of yourself if I take up the role of a secretary in the Perry Group?" These words angered Selina.

She immediately said, "You are thinking too much, Miss Welmert. It's only a secretary position. Whatever you like and want, things can go your way for these 6 months. It doesn't matter if there's one more employee in Perry Group since the company is so big." A smile appeared on the corners of Saoirse's lips. "That's settled then. William, you agree, right?" It was not that Matthew was afraid that he could not control himself Even if Saoirse was his personal secretary, he could still hold his ground. It was just that he was concerned of Selina's feelings.

But since Selina had agreed, Matthew could only agree with it too.

"Calong when you are ready to join us," said Matthew.

Saoirse stood up with a smile. "It's settled then. I'll cto Perry Group when the tcomes." "I'll ask the driver to drive you home."

Saoirse lifted her eyebrows slightly. "I haven't even said I wanted to ga back, and you're alrea asking the driver to drivehome?" Matthew's expression did not change. "It's late, Saoirse." "I'm a woman and I don't mind it, so why should you?" "My wife minds." Saoirse sighed and said, "Well, then I'll take my leave." After Saoirse left, Matthew held Selina's hand. "Selina, let's go to bed." Selina followed Matthew to the bedroom numbly.

She regained back herself after lying on the bed.

"Matthew, is she really going to be your secretary?" Selina asked in a somewhat weak voice.

Matthew stroked Selina's cheek and asked, "Are you worried?" Selina bit her lip. "I'm not worried..." After a pause, she added, "You wish." "If you were not worried about it, then I would be worried." Matthew looked into Selina's eyes.

She looked at Matthew with confusion.

"If you weren't worried, it'd feel like you don't care. If you are worried) it letsknow that you havein E your heart."

As he spoke, Matthew pressed his forehead against Selina's. "Selinan your friend also remember that so worked as a secretary at the Perry Group." Selina knew that Matthew was referring to Caroline.

She nodded. "You're right." "When she was the secretary of Perry Group, did you have anything to worry about?" Selina shook her head without hesitation.

She had not worried, even a little.

"Selina, I'll make you a promise," Matthew assured Selina.
