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
Unsurprisingly, there was no one else in the house.Fortunately, Selena had a change of clothes in Eric’s room. When she finished washing up, she went downstairs and found that the servant had just finished cooking.“Ms. Nelson, it’s time to eat.”Selena glanced at the food, which was quite bland. It was just right for her current appetite.“Mr. Ferguson said that it’s not safe outside for the time being, so he asked you to rest at home. If you really want to go out, you can get someone to follow you…”The servant smiled.Selena thought of the Yeager family.She twitched her lips. “It’s alright. I won’t run around. I cherish my life more than him.”Selena was full after having the oatmeal.However, it was too boring at home.She took out her phone and wanted to browse the internet.As a result, Chaz called.“Boss, you’ve gone viral! You’re done for!”Selena frowned. “You’re done for!”Chaz spoke incoherently and sounded anxious.“Boss, someone posted about you and Mr. Fe
Nicole could not help but said over the phone, “Let’s go out for a meal when you’re free! Don’t close your bar for too long!”Selena laughed and said, “Don’t worry. My bar was flooded, so it’s under renovation. It’ll open in less than a month.”“Great!”They hung up the phone, and Selena took a deep breath.The boulder that fell on her heart was moved aside, and she instantly felt relaxed.Selena waited for a few minutes. Soon, the hot topic online lost its traction.In less than half an hour, it disappeared.In this world, only women were reliable.Girls help each other.Julie posted the short clip of the show and added the caption, “Thanks, Selena, for helping us to perform this clip for free. I hope the public doesn’t bother Selena because she’s not a part of showbiz.”Everyone was still wondering why the hot topic was withdrawn so quickly when Julie released that statement in the name of the company. It silenced those who suspected that Selena was using Eric to gain popul
