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
Selena’s calmness made Eric feel uneasy, distant, and even a little cold.Eric returned to the villa.The servant looked at him with worry. “Ms. Ferguson, you’re back.”“Where is she?”Eric’s voice was deep, and his face was sharp.The servant paused. “Ms. Nelson said that she ate too much and wanted to go out for a walk.”Eric’s face suddenly sank.“Didn’t I tell you not to let her leave the house?”The servant was nervous for a moment.“But Ms. Nelson said she would come back after strolling around.”The servants were in a dilemma. Selena was the future lady boss, so how could they stop her?Moreover, Selena had legs, and Eric did not tie her up. Even if they wanted to stop her, they could not.Eric’s face darkened.He picked up his phone to call Selena.However, he put his phone away when he thought of something.He chuckled in a low voice and thought that he was being a little ridiculous.Ever since he learned about what happened online, he had been anxious.It was
Selena did not stay smug for long after eating the barbecue.After they entered the bedroom, Eric was suddenly interrupted by an urgent call.When he came back after the phone call, Selena was already curled up on the bed due to a stomach ache. She dared not move.Eric’s complexion changed, and he took a deep breath.Selena slowly stretched out her hand and looked at him with disappointment.“Quick, help me! What are you still doing?”Eric immediately called the hospital, then he bent down to pick her up and ran outside.As soon as he went out, he saw the driver had just sent Chance home.Chance watched in shock as Eric rushed into the car with Selena.“Aunt Selena, what’s wrong with you?”Eric was anxious and flustered, but he did not forget to use this opportunity to teach his son a lesson.“This is the consequence of eating junk food!”Selena was speechless as she thought, ‘Damn this b*stard!’However, she was not in the mood to scold him now.She was sure that she ate
It was the end of the month.Julie called Selena.“Ms. Nelson, I would like to invite you to the movie premiere. After all, you participated in this film, and everyone must be looking forward to seeing you. But I respect your decision either way.”Selena paused. She had never participated in such an event, so she was a little uneasy.Just as she was about to reject Julie’s invitation, Julie happily added, “By the way, the male and female lead will also join. Don’t you like the male lead, Harvey Sage? I can arrange for you to take a photo with him. He’s an actor from Falcon Entertainment. If you don’t want to walk on the red carpet, you can attend the banquet after the screening. We hired a renowned chef, and his cooking is superb.”Julie introduced the event excitedly, and Selena responded with a smile.“Okay, I’ll go, just for Harvey.”Anyway, Selena had nothing to do.Moreover, with Julie and Nicole there, Selena felt that nothing out of the ordinary would happen.Selena hun
