The outside wind brought in a trace of heat. The agarwood scent in the car dispersed a little.The car was stable and comfortable.The man inside was on the phone, revealing his sharp side profile.No one noticed that in the side lane just one car away, there was a car to the left of the black Bentley.A pair of hateful and bloodshot eyes stared in the direction of the black Bentley.The woman took her phone and dialed a number.“Mr. Sloan, the time has come. Where are your people?”There was a buzz from the phone. Soon, a gentle and clear voice sounded.“Ms. Yeager, I arranged a getaway car for you. It’s the third red car behind your car. When you are done, get in the car while no one notices you. The driver will take you to where you’re supposed to go.”Cindy subconsciously looked in the back mirror when she heard this.Sure enough, the third car behind hers was a red car.She let out a slow sigh of relief.“Okay.”Cindy hung up the phone contentedly.She wanted to go a
Eric was talking when a police officer suddenly ran in.The officer looked inexplicably excited.“Deputy Chief, a good Samaritan noticed that something was off with Cindy Yeager, so he picked her up and sent her straight to our police station. We don’t need to use any effort to look for her.”The deputy chief was stunned, and his spirits lifted.“Where is she?”“Outside. Our colleagues have brought her here…”As he said that, Cindy was restrained and cuffed by two other officers.Cindy’s mind was muddled, but she still knew where she was.She struggled with all her might.“Let go of me! Why are you arresting me?”She yelled but to no avail.Cindy felt aggrieved. She thought that God was really unfair!She still got caught.What was going on?Was it that driver?Or was it Clayton?What part of her plan went wrong?Cindy’s mind was a mess at this moment.However, she knew that she could just refuse to admit it. Yes, she would just say that it was an ordinary accident...
The bar was pretty quiet during the day.Since it was already evening, everyone was getting ready for business.As soon as Eric entered, someone saw him.“Where’s your boss?”Eric asked.The waiter pointed upstairs, and Eric nodded.Selena was resting in her room, preparing for the overtime work at night.She did not expect Eric to come over quietly.However, she did not have much of a reaction. She just glanced at him and lay back down.“Why are you so free to come over?”Her voice was still a little languid.Eric walked over, took off his coat, and hugged Selena from behind through the quilt.At that moment, his originally empty heart was filled in an instant.Eric closed his eyes. He was familiar with her body and her scent.That feeling made him feel more nostalgic that he got to be with her again.Selena sensed something was wrong with Eric, but she did not bother to pursue it.She felt that it was better not to know him too well.The greater the expectation, the
Selena looked at Eric’s smiling face. His eyes were still stern and indifferent. He seemed so aloof and unapproachable, as if she would never attain his heart.Eric’s words seemed gentle like he did not blame her, but it felt as if he had slapped her hard in the face.Her face felt hot, and she felt like her darkest secret was exposed.Selena was stunned for a few seconds. She stood up abruptly, took two steps forward, calmed down, and looked back at him. She said in a clear and cold tone, “You don’t need to put it so nicely. You’re just trying to say that I overstepped my bounds, right? I have already apologized and promised not to do it again. Why do you still want to insult me?”Eric’s expression turned glum. His eyes also dimmed slightly.“I didn’t mean to insult you. I was just talking to you. Don’t overthink it.”“Any normal person would misunderstand the way you put it. Eric, I did read your message, but so what? Are you saying there’s some kind of confidential work in y
It was nice for Selena to be able to take this opportunity to vent her frustration.Selena never thought that she and Eric would insult each other so badly one day.She did not even know who to blame.Eric’s whole body was tense. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his fists were clenched tightly as he tried his best to restrain his emotions.Her words were like sparks that ignited the bombs in his heart.Eric had long been aware of his dark side, but no one dared to expose his repulsiveness in front of him.However, Selena had no scruples.Selena crossed her arms and looked at him sarcastically.“I got it right, Eric. Just admit it. You don’t have a heart, so I don’t care who you fall in love with. I only care if I’m being cheated on!”Her tone was so cold that she did not leave any room for maneuver.“Are you done talking? You didn’t even ask me what happened today. You’re provoking me just because of a message? You’re not qualified to be my girlfriend!”Eric was f
Chaz asked, “Boss, what happened? It’s almost 10:00 pm, but you didn’t come downstairs, so I thought you left with Mr. Ferguson.”Selena’s expression was calm. She did not even shed a single tear.It seemed like nothing had happened. However, her dispirited look as she sat there made Chaz wonder what was wrong.She paused and slowly moved her gaze to look at Chaz.“We broke up.”Chaz was silent for a moment before he smiled.“It’s okay. That’s good! I support you.”“You do? Didn’t you always want me to be with him?”Chaz raised his eyebrows and laughed.“That’s on the premise that you like each other. I just wanted you to get out of your previous marriage. But from the looks of those overwhelming comments about Eric and that woman online, he didn’t care to avoid suspicion at all. It shows that he allowed this rumor to spread. Since that’s the case, there’s nothing to say. I have a problem with him allowing this kind of rumor to hurt you. What else can you do but break up with
Eric’s voice was low and indifferent. He held a cup of coffee, turned around, and went back to the office.The girls looked at Mitchell excitedly. Mitchell waved his hand with a smile before he followed Eric into the office.Mitchell also held a document in his hand that needed to be signed.He handed it over and said, “Mr. Ferguson, the planning meeting in the afternoon will be held as scheduled, and the owners are invited. Do you want to attend in person?”Eric raised his eyes and said indifferently, “Do you think I don’t have anything to do this holiday?”“No…” Mitchell was a little shocked and was a little hesitant to speak.“If you have private arrangements, I will postpone the meeting.”Mitchell tentatively spoke.Eric fell silent.After a long time, Eric spoke in a low and hoarse voice.“She didn’t come to see me? Not even once?”Mitchell suddenly understood what Eric was talking about and nodded cautiously.Was Eric still hung up on Selena?Eric rubbed his temples.
Selena did not know if she would have such a good opportunity in the future.She hurriedly caught up to Harvey and said excitedly and politely, “Will you give me an autograph first?”Harvey froze for a moment. Then, he smiled with squinted eyes and nodded.He took out the pen he carried with him and gestured.Selena paused. She suddenly realized that she did not have any paper, so she looked at her white skirt with pity and stepped forward.“Sign this. I’ll keep this skirt!”Harvey nodded politely, lowered his head, and signed his name on her white skirt.Selena smiled in satisfaction.The elevator arrived and the doors opened slowly.Harvey put the cap on the pen, stood upright, and smiled.“Let’s meet again next time. Julie gave me your phone number because I wanted to ask you to do a cameo in a movie.”“Me? You’re too kind. It’ll be my pleasure!”Selena said excitedly. It was a rare opportunity to be able to appear on the same screen as her idol.Harvey waved his hand a
