Selena’s face turned pale. If Eric was polite, Selena might be able to understand his painstaking efforts to find Chance.However, at this moment, Selena felt wronged.She glanced at Chance, who had his head down, helplessly.When Chance showed up at her bar, she told Chance to call Eric or Mitchell.Who knew that the boy did not take it to heart?However, Selena could not accuse Chance in front of Eric. Otherwise, the poor curly-haired boy would be reprimanded.Selena pursed her lips and took the blame. She took out the smartwatch that was soaked in water and explained.“Sorry, his watch accidentally fell into a bucket of water and stopped working. It was my negligence that I didn’t notify you in time. I was busy in the afternoon, so I forgot.”Selena turned her head away indifferently. She did not feel sorry at all for making that mistake.Eric was irritated and felt like he had punched cotton — soft, without any strength.There was silence all around, not even a sound from
As the woman spoke, she opened a bottle of wine, poured it into a glass, and drank it in one gulp in front of Eric.Eric looked at her with a glum and indifferent expression. The disgust on his face became more intense.As the woman drank, she “accidentally” spilled the wine on herself.Her chest was soaked.If Eric could not see what her intentions were, he would be an idiot.The woman looked at Eric hesitantly. Her eyes were seductive, and what she wanted was evident.“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. This bottle is my treat…”The woman poured another glass and handed it over.However, Eric had no intention of taking it.He looked around irritably and wanted to get out of this smoky booth. He had already stood up, but the woman also stood up to hand him the glass. When she leaned over, the wine spilled on Eric’s body.Eric could not dodge in time, and his anger reached its peak.“You shameless woman! Did you not understand what I said when I told you to get lost? You should ta
Eric glanced at Selena with a deep gaze and quickly looked away, like a gust of wind that disappeared before it touched her skin.“Chance wants to get close to you. Haven’t you thought about why?”Selena shrugged and boasted. “It must be because I’m beautiful and kind-hearted. Everyone loves me because I’m adorable!”Eric looked at her strangely.“Have you looked in a mirror recently?”“No, will you piss on the floor so I can look at my reflection?”Selena restrained her smile and looked at him angrily.She finally understood that when facing Eric, it was quite a test for her to maintain her composure.It only took less than a few minutes for her to lose her composure.The man stared at her silently and solemnly. He said in a low voice, “Are you really a woman?”“Yes, but I don’t know if you’re a man or not!”Selena immediately retorted.Eric took a deep breath. The veins on his forehead were bulging from anger.“Aren’t you leaving? Are you waiting for me to see you off?”
The music downstairs was deafening.However, Eric and Selena felt isolated in Selena’s room. It was so quiet and stuffy that they could even hear each other’s heartbeat.Selena could not continue to deny it because Eric would definitely get to the bottom of it.When Selena thought about that woman and that $300,000 IOU, she suddenly made a decision.She raised her head to look at Eric with clear eyes and a flattering fake smile without a trace of sincerity.“Since you said so, then I can only agree. Yes, in fact, this is my purpose… I have admired you for a long time!”Selena felt guilty after saying this.Her throat felt itchy, so she covered her mouth and lowered her head to cough.This was probably the price of lying.Her face flushed slightly as she coughed.Eric just looked like he knew it all along.It was exactly as he expected!Although Selena showed her dislike of him in every possible way and was verbally abusive, it was only to attract his attention.Now that he
Eric did not know if his sudden anger was because Selena really did not try to barge in after he locked the door to the bathroom.The corners of Selena’s mouth twitched. Then, she pointed to the clothes on the chair next to her.“It’s unworn, a bit big, and unisex. It should fit you well, but if you don’t like it, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”Eric took a deep breath and said bluntly, “Can’t you take my clothes to dry clean? Or you can wash and iron them.”Even if he could no longer wear it again, at least it was a temporary solution.Selena stared at him blankly, then shook her head solemnly.“No. I’m not your nanny, so why should I do this for you?”Eric’s eyes widened.“Didn’t you say that you like me? So, shouldn’t you be willing to do whatever I want?”He blurted out.How was she so laidback when she liked him?She did not want to do anything for him.Did she only like him for his money?Hearing this, Selena could not help but laugh.She noticed that this man
In the blink of an eye, it was already the end of the month.Atlanta had the first snow of the season.Snowflakes scattered on the road, which made a beautiful scenery. However, it was a pity that the snow plow trucks quickly cleaned up the roads.It was gone before Selena had time to appreciate it.As Selena expected, Eric was indeed avoiding her.Since that night, Eric did not show up again.Selena had a period of peace and quiet until Mitchell rushed over one afternoon with a bag of desserts in his hand as a gift.Selena greeted him happily.“Mr. Crawford, why are you so polite? It’s been a long time since we met! Let me get you a drink on the house!”“No, Ms. Nelson. I still have to drive. I just bought this along the way. Otherwise, it’s not appropriate for me to come empty-handed.”Mitchell handed over the dessert.It was a well-known dessert store. Mitchell specially chose a popular bakery and ordered the sugar-free version.Selena was touched by his thoughtfulness.
Ferguson Corporation.Selena did not have to register or make an appointment to meet Eric because Mitchell personally brought her in.Due to this, many people secretly paid attention to Selena.Selena was beautiful and had a good temperament, and Mitchell personally brought her here, so it was not hard for her to become the center of attention.Soon, word spread throughout the company.Selena did not notice this because she was fuming and wanted to rip that son of a b*tch to pieces!Mitchell could hardly catch up to her.Selena looked at the sign at the door and walked toward the President’s Office.A special authorized card was required to enter the President’s Office, and Mitchell had it.Coincidentally, the office door was not closed.Just as Mitchell was about to catch up to Selena, a male employee behind him suddenly said, “Mr. Crawford, there are visitors in Mr. Ferguson’s office…”Mitchell’s expression changed. At that moment, Selena was way ahead of him.Before he c
Chance, who was suddenly called out, was a little nervous and frightened that his face turned pale.“Daddy, I haven’t had time to read it yet.”Eric frowned. His eyes suddenly darkened.“Did you just wake up? I’ve finished two meetings, but you’ve slept until now?”Chance’s face was red from shame, and he pursed his lips nervously.“I’m sorry, Daddy. I slept too late last night.”“Are you blaming me for giving you too much homework that you can’t sleep at night?”Eric interrupted Chance in a cold voice.There was complete silence in the office.It felt cold and serious.Selena listened with trepidation.She felt sorry for Chance. Would Chance turn out to be a psycho like Eric if he grew up in such a depressing environment?Selena could not imagine Chance, who looked very much like Eric, calling her “Auntie” with a cold face in a few years.It was a scary sight.Selena coughed to interrupt the dead silence.“Eric, children his age need enough sleep to grow. You can’t let
