Eric lowered his eyes slightly. His eyes were dark and impenetrable.“Are you still in contact with Zachary Salvatore?”Selena paused, then shook her head. “No, I’ve made it clear to him.”Eric’s brows relaxed. Good.Then, there was no reason for Selena to reject him.Eric paused. “Then what are you worried about?”Selena suddenly thought of the way they left on bad terms the last time.It was when Eric proposed for Selena to be with him.Selena being with him did not mean that they were dating, nor did it mean that they would eventually get married.She was expected to be with him without any labels, and their relationship was to be kept a secret.Their intimacy last night made Eric think that they were already in this kind of relationship and that Selena was already his.That was why Eric could openly ask her to move in with him.Eric had no shortage of real estate, so he was not worried about what would happen after they break up in the future.Selena lowered her eyes s
Seeing that Selena had accepted the credit card, Eric heaved a sigh of relief. He was a little glad and at ease.Eric had no other way to make it up to Selena, only this.Fortunately, Selena also loved money.Selena smiled and looked up at him. “You really plan to be my sugar daddy? You’re quite generous, huh?”Eric frowned and corrected her with a serious expression.“I’m not your sugar daddy. Don’t make it sound so vulgar. I told you that I won’t mistreat you if you’re with me.”He did not like that Selena was using such derogatory terms to belittle their relationship.They were not shameless.Even if people found out, Eric would admit it frankly. However, there was no need to deliberately let the world know.Selena blinked. Although she did not understand the difference, she thought that it was probably a more civilized term for this kind of relationship among rich people.She paused and looked at him.“If that’s the case, let’s make it clear. I hope that fewer people kno
Eric also saw Chaz. He had investigated Chaz before and found that Chaz liked men.Thus, Eric was not threatened by Chaz. He walked over, smiled, and patted Chaz on the shoulder.“Don’t go upstairs and disturb her. She just fell asleep, so just remind her to eat when she wakes up.”“Sure, Mr. Ferguson. Goodbye!”Chaz watched stiffly as Eric left the bar.Eric looked like he was head over heels in love.Would a domineering president be in love?Was Eric serious about Selena?Chaz looked upstairs. His footsteps were light.Eric ordered him not to disturb Selena.Selena slept until noon.However, she did not wake up by herself. She was woken up by Chaz’s knock on the door.Selena sat up in a daze and went to open the door.“What do you want?”Chaz looked at her angrily.“The downstairs is flooded, yet you’re still sleeping soundly! Did you leave the tap on when you went to the bathroom in the morning?”He could not care less and ran inside to turn off the tap.Sure enough
Eric frowned as he stood there like a god gracing his presence onto his friends.“I don’t want to tell a bunch of bachelors like you anything…”After Eric finished speaking, he glanced at each of them in disdain, turned around, and walked away.Everyone thought that Eric was ridiculous. They looked at each other and finally at Keith.“Haven’t you been with him all this time? When did this happen?”Keith shrugged. “I don’t know. I’ve been busy taking care of my kid lately!”He was also dumbfounded.Another person said, “Eric is looking down on us when he has a girlfriend. I already have a girlfriend, but I didn’t tell him because I was afraid that he’d be sad. Now he wants to show off?”“Yeah! I’ve had a few girlfriends now. If I had known about this, I wouldn’t have kept it a secret!”“He’s such a pain in the *ss. Who is that woman though?”......Everyone was speculating about Eric’s girlfriend.Only Keith kept quiet.Keith thought that the voice over the phone was quite
Cindy ran over as if she saw her savior.“Mr. Ferguson…”Mitchell did not stop Cindy, so he felt guilty.Mitchell looked at Eric’s face, who did not seem angry. He even seemed to be in a good mood.Cindy’s clothes were wrinkled as she pushed her way in. The makeup on her face was also smudged.At this time, she looked wretched.Eric glanced at her calmly and condescendingly without any reaction.“Ms. Yeager, what can I do for you?”Cindy tried her best to calm herself down.“There is a problem with that project. It’s simply a hole that can’t be filled. My father was admitted to the hospital last night, and he’s still being resuscitated!”Eric glanced at her lightly and nodded with regret.“Oh, then why are you not with him at the hospital? What are you doing here?”Cindy raised her head abruptly and was surprised by his cold reaction.“You sold that project to us. Why didn’t you say there was a problem with that project? Or did you know that there was a problem with that p
Eric watched his phone motionlessly.He was still waiting for Selena to spend a bigger sum, but that was it.He waited for two minutes, but nothing happened.Eric’s face turned dark.With his unlimited black card, Selena only spent less than $100.To be precise, it was $87.50.Eric let out a deep breath.Mitchell heard the notification and did not think that it was from WhatsApp. However, Eric’s phone screen was stuck on the spending notification.“Mr. Ferguson, is your card stolen? Do you want me to contact the bank to deal with it?”Eric pursed his lips. He really hoped that it was stolen.He would not be so concerned even if Selena spent tens of millions of dollars.This $87.50 made him depressed.Did Selena think the card was fake?Eric raised his hand and motioned for Mitchell to leave. Then, he called Selena.Selena did not hang up and answered the call.“What do you want?”“What are you doing?”Eric had to say something.“I’m shopping!”Eric was silent for a f
Clayton’s gaze softened instantly.“Okay. I’ll make it. Or do you want to eat out?”Nicole hesitated for a moment.“I’m too tired to eat out, but I think you’ll be too tired to cook.”Clayton smiled and motioned for the children to get in the car.He coaxed Nicole softly on the phone.“I’m not tired. Besides, we have Chatty and Fischer around. One of them can pour the wine while the other serves the dishes. It’s only reasonable for them to do some chores!”Chatty frowned while Fischer looked at Clayton in disbelief.They were just props and did not deserve to eat at the table.Nicole laughed happily.“Okay! It’s a good idea for them to cultivate some living skills. Hurry home and cook for me. I’m hungry…”“Okay, wait a while. I’ll be home soon.”Clayton smiled and hung up the phone.The driver took Levi to Grant’s office.Then, Clayton took the remaining two “props” home.“If you two behave well tonight, I can suggest to Mommy to give you both ice cream.”Clayton coaxed
Five minutes later, Eric came downstairs by himself. His face was dark and sullen.Selena lazily nestled on the sofa watching TV. Her body was limp, as if she had no bones. She certainly had no grace.Eric stood there and blocked her view.“You didn’t bring me the documents because you want to watch TV?”In fact, Eric did not want to read the documents. He just wanted to find an excuse for Selena to go upstairs because he could not see her in the living room.Selena glanced at him speechlessly.“They’re your company’s secret. I’m afraid that you’ll kill me if it passes through my hands!”Eric did not know how Selena could find so many reasons.He stood there and towered over her with his big and tall body.“Go upstairs. I want to show you something.”As he spoke, he bent down to pick up the documents from the table and went upstairs first.Selena reluctantly let go of the pillow in her arms and followed him upstairs.Eric went straight to the study in his bedroom.Selena a
