“I’m not at a disadvantage?” Selena asked back.“I don’t like him, but I still have to be with him. Isn’t that a disadvantage? What’s the difference between him and Derek Norton?”Selena remained calm.Chaz paused and sighed,“How can a scum like Derek be compared with Mr. Ferguson? Don’t get fooled by Mr. Ferguson’s usual appearance and think that he’s rich but stupid. Mr. Ferguson isn’t the kind of person who would belittle women.”“Judging by the way you speak for him, I think you wish to be his mistress!”Selena could not help but mutter.Chaz did not mind what she said and smiled. “It’s a pity that he doesn’t like men. Otherwise, I would definitely recommend myself as his bedmate!”Selena rolled her eyes angrily.She sat on the balcony, looked at the dark sky outside, and sighed.“I still want to choose Zachary. He likes me and will definitely treat me well. Eric loves someone else. If it ends badly, I’ll lose my heart and money. What a sh*tty deal! What’s more, I like t
“What would you guys like to eat? I will prepare it right away.”Everyone told the boss what they wanted.Burritos, pancakes, bacon, eggs, coffee...Selena noticed that they were all down-to-earth and felt comfortable around them, so she chatted and laughed with them.Zachary sat at the same table with Selena, but the others were tactful and did not join them.Zachary was an easygoing person. They talked and laughed so that Selena felt extremely relaxed and at ease.When his gaze fell on Selena’s face from time to time, Selena was reminded that he had coveted her for a long time.Selena was excited, but she also had mixed feelings about it. After all, this was the first time that such a wonderful thing happened to her.She also intended to try it out with him.However, she did not want to rush it. After breakfast, she mentioned that she was going back.Zachary did not say much because they also had to hurry back to the station.They parted ways, and Selena walked back happil
It had only been a few days. Eric went abroad to deal with an urgent matter. He was afraid that Selena would feel distant and indifferent about him, so he dealt with a month’s worth of work as quickly as he could and came back as soon as possible.As a result, Eric came back and saw this scene. How could he remain indifferent?Selena’s face darkened. She took a deep breath.“I’m not using him as a shield, and I’m not afraid of you. I’m choosing my relationships carefully and don’t want to be forced into another cage where I can’t be myself. I’m not interested in you, so you don’t have to waste your time on me. Trying to force my hand is useless!”Selena took a step forward, looked at Eric coldly, and lowered her tone.“Eric, I can kill Derek Norton. Do you want to be the next one?”Her voice was very low and light as it floated in the air along with the wind.Eric’s body was stiff, and his eyes trembled slightly.He seemed taken aback by her words.It was not because of her th
Selena desperately wanted to live and did not want to sacrifice her life for anyone.She was selfish, hypocritical, and mean. She was only willing to do some good deeds within her ability if she had a comfortable life, not because of pure kindness.Selena ran away from her marriage to survive. She killed Derek Norton to be free, and she opened a bar to make money.She would not sacrifice her life for strangers.It was a great possibility of being in danger if she stayed here, so she did not want to stay.Therefore, Selena did not show any calmness and reason as she said bluntly, “You have to send me down first. The aftershocks may come at any time. I don’t want to be put in any danger because I’m waiting for you here.”Zachary was in a dilemma, and he said with some difficulty, “You heard it too. Those people are in danger…”“Yes, I heard it, but they’re already in danger. You’re not a doctor, so it’s pointless for you to go. I need to be in a safe place too.”Selena pursed her
Eric’s series of questions were more like declarative sentences that poked at Selena’s wounds.Every question hit the mark.Selena did not have anything to say.This shrewd Eric saw through it at a glance.Selena could not pretend that nothing happened or find excuses for Zachary.Since Selena was determined to give up on Zachary, there was no need to protect him.Seeing that Selena did not speak, Eric added, “What great taste you have!”Eric’s sarcasm was so obvious that Selena could hear it, unless she was a fool.Selena pursed her lips but did not yell back at him.After all, Eric saved her, so she had to show him some respect.The car drove back to the city. Selena also saw a fire truck passing by.Selena sighed and let go of something heavy in her heart. However, she did not feel regretful.Seeing this, Eric took out his phone, clicked on a chat, and handed it over to Selena.“Here. You’ll feel better after reading it.”An emotion flashed in Selena’s heart. She frown
Eric mercilessly shut Chance out the door.Selena could vaguely hear Eric say impatiently, “Are you done with your homework? If that man is that great, why doesn’t he just float up to space?”Chance said in a low voice, “I thought only astronauts are able to go to space?”......Bang!The door closed.Eric came back by himself.Selena frowned at him and shook her head.“Do you know why your son never complimented you?”Eric raised his eyebrows slightly and looked indifferent.“That’s because I don’t have to pretend to impress others.”He implied that Zachary was putting on a show and trampled on him.Selena was shocked by Eric’s thick skin.Eric sat next to her and opened the first aid kit. When he saw her injured leg, his eyes darkened, and his face tightened.Some gravel was embedded in her knees. The blood had dried up, and the wounded area that was as big as his palm was mottled and bloodied.Eric paused. His eyes were as calm as a deep lake.“Why don’t we go to the
Eric raised his eyebrows lightly and pointed at himself. He looked smug for seeing through her thoughts.The first thing he did when he came back from a business trip was to go to the bar to see Selena.As a result, Selena went into another man’s car and compared him with her scumbag ex-husband, Derek Norton.This humiliation was still vivid in Eric’s mind.How could he not see through Selena’s thoughts?Although Eric was excited, he was too proud to allow others to trample on his dignity.Selena blinked and took a deep breath.Look, Eric was always so vengeful and calculating!She paused and gritted her teeth.“How many times do I have to say that I was the one who dumped him? Don’t spout nonsense!”Eric chuckled and did not believe her.Selena turned away to hide her embarrassment.“Forget it. Just pretend I didn’t say anything just now.”She did have the intention of accepting Zachary and only gave up on him because of this accident.However, it was unfair to Eric.Er
It was a couple photo of Eric and Nicole. Eric always regarded it as a treasure, and he only dared to show his selfishness and miss his past marriage in his private study.The room was so quiet that he could hear a pin drop.Eric stared blankly at the photo. His whole body seemed to be frozen.For a moment, it seemed as if two forces were tearing at his heart. His muscles were torn, and he felt breathless.Last night’s indulgence reminded Eric that there was no going back to the past.He had to face it.Eric had to forget Nicole, but could he?His heart ached as he gently put the photo face down on the table. His face was pale.At this time, Selena pushed the door open and came in with a bit of sleepiness on her face. She was unabashedly wearing Eric’s shirt which barely covered her thighs.“Mr. Ferguson, I want to take a shower, but the shower head in your bathroom seems to be broken.”Eric paused, frowned, and stood up.“Broken? I’ll go and check it out.”Although they we
