“Zachary Salvatore.”Selena frowned and was a little upset.Eric only mentioned it at this time, so did he just overhear the contents of her phone call?Why was he pretending like he did not eavesdrop on her?“Right, Zachary Salvatore. Did he tell you that he helped, and you actually believed him?”Eric’s mocking tone made Selena very uncomfortable.Even if she blamed Zachary for not being honest about it, Zachary had also helped her.At least, he helped with replacing the equipment.Thus, Selena was in no position to accuse Zachary.What right did Eric have to say that?Selena frowned and suddenly felt a little upset.“He didn’t say that. I just misunderstood it. Mr. Ferguson, didn’t you say that you won’t help? Why did you go back on your word?”She remembered that Eric clearly told her back then that he would not help her.How did he forget what he said?He had a horrible memory!Eric sneered.“I was just afraid that you’d cry and beg me. Then, there will be a millio
In the dark, Eric sneered.“One thousand? You’re very experienced, huh?”Selena really was not lying.The young hunks who come to the bar like to take off their clothes when they drink too much. Then, they would dance to their heart’s content on the stage.Looking at them made people excited, but Selena only admired their bodies.Some were thin and bony.Others were fleshy and bulky.There were also some that were neither fat nor thin but had a little belly.There were very few who were as lean and well-proportioned as Eric, with such well-balanced and aesthetic abdominal muscles.Selena just felt that she should not look so eager.She snorted coldly and went to the inside study.Eric sighed.“Now, I’m even more scared! You’d better go back. I’ll call you if I need anything!”As he said that, he lifted the quilt, intending to close his eyes and go to sleep.Selena paused and no longer wanted to go into the study.Hah!Was he planning to wake her up several times at nigh
Selena was disgusted by Cindy’s rudeness.Selena did not feel sorry for Cindy.Cindy was the one who crossed Eric unhappy by playing tricks at Chance’s birthday party. Cindy did not end up like this because of Selena’s appearance.Why did it feel like Cindy was the real wife and Selena was a mistress?Selena put down her chopsticks slowly and had a playful gaze.“Ms. Yeager, there are many things that you’re not aware of!”Cindy glanced at her coldly and snorted.“Ms. Nelson, you won’t believe that Eric loves you, right? His true love is someone else. It’s not like you don’t know about his true love, so why are you here? Is it for money? Or some other purpose? But I do admire your means. Not everyone can climb into Eric’s bed, let alone a divorced and abandoned woman.”There was a dead silence in the living room.The two servants had already retreated quietly.Selena appreciated the servants for this. At least, she would not feel embarrassed since they did not stay to watch t
Selena was not afraid of others watching her. She stood there righteously and said with a smile, “Ms. Yeager, go home. Mr. Ferguson doesn’t want to see you.”“Whatever you say isn’t credible. I don’t believe that you conveyed the message. How about this? Ask Mr. Ferguson to come out and tell me in person.”Cindy lifted her chin with a haughty look. She would not give up until she reached her goal.Selena raised her eyebrows nonchalantly.“Ms. Yeager, don’t you understand? You’re being rude for coming here uninvited. Is this what the Yeager family is capable of? To tell you the truth, Eric can’t come out because he’s still lying in bed naked from having too much sex last night.”“You… You’re shameless!”Cindy yelled.Selena laughed. Her slender neck and shoulders were straight, and she was a charming woman. When she stood there, she looked more like an arrogant little temptress.“You’re even more shameless than I am!”Selena was not the type to just let someone scold her.She
“I knew you’d been coveting me for a long time. Don’t try to stay by my side through crooked ways. I’m not interested in a woman like you!”Eric said coldly.He tried his best to suppress the strange feeling in his heart.He told himself to be calm and rational.It must be because he had not touched a woman for so long.Selena nodded seriously.“Okay. It’s my fault. Just take it as I’ve lost my mind. It’s not like I haven’t seen a man before!”Selena rolled her eyes speechlessly and thought, ‘So what if I kissed him? He sounded like I stole his virginity! It’s not like I kissed a married man or a monk. Was he that great? I was just confused for a moment!’Eric casually looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly.“Oh, of course you’ve seen it before. Did your heart beat faster when you were with Derek Norton?”This question made the temperature in the room drop to a freezing point.Selena’s good mood completely crashed.With a shocked expression on her face, she slowly turne
Eric stood there motionless.His pride would not allow him to keep a woman who had nothing to do with him.Moreover, there was an ambiguous tension between them.Eric could not see through his own heart, nor could he see through hers.Thus, he dared not take a step forward.That was because he could not promise that he would give her everything as his wife.Eric was helpless.He stood there like a sculpture, cold and stiff.Then, he heard the car engine downstairs.Selena had probably asked the driver to take her home. With her temper, Selena had already gotten the servants to listen to her only after a few days here.Eric pursed his lips. His eyes gradually became indifferent.......In the bar, there was no one there during the day. Thus, when Selena went back, no one was around.At last, she was back on her own turf and did not need to walk around eggshells anymore.Selena went upstairs, threw her things there, and went back downstairs.She was not angry because of Er
Perhaps due to their professions, everyone had a straight posture and great build, which was pleasing to the eye.The boys were interested in the truck and excitedly wanted to climb up to take a closer look.The girls only surrounded the good-looking firefighters and asked for hugs.Seeing this, Selena felt that having a thing for good-looking men was a bad habit that developed since young.Zachary’s colleagues saw the woman behind Zachary and looked at him with a playful smile. Then, they greeted her as if they already knew who she was.One of the youngest smiled naively and asked, “Zach, is this the owner of the bar that you helped to buy fire-fighting equipment for?”Everyone else pricked up their ears and listened.Only Selena was a little shocked and thought, ‘So many people knew about this?’Zachary lightly reprimanded him with a carefree smile.“Fortunately, she is. If not, you would’ve ruined my chances!”The others chuckled.Selena also stood up and said with a smil
The air was still for a moment.Selena came back to her senses and realized that she was too close to Zachary.She quickly moved her toes to push the swing back.However, Zachary suddenly pulled the chain forward. He looked persistent and stared at her without blinking.He seemed to be exploring the answer on her face.“Selena?”Selena coughed, looked away, and calmed down her beating heart.She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and regained her composure.“Zach, don’t be impulsive. You shouldn’t be hung up on me because I rejected you back then. I know exactly what I’m worth.”Zachary was a firefighter, but he was not from a simple family.In that dinner with Eric, Zachary was able to sit among the big shots and maintain his composure with ease as if no one else was there. This showed that he would return to his original position after all.Even if he was in a relationship, he would have to find someone who matched him.Selena did not want to be chucked aside after being
