Selena thought that her messages were probably in the trash.
Eric was in a meeting when his phone beeped twice.
He was originally in a good mood because the performance of all departments exceeded expectations.
However, when he saw the text messages that Selena sent, he became infuriated.
[Thank you, Mr. Ferguson.]
He thought, ‘Is this Selena’s number? Heh. Did she send me the last message to mock me? She’s repaying my kindness with vengeance?’
Eric put down his phone with a gloomy face.
The temperature in the conference room dropped several degrees.
Eric’s mood changed so quickly that his subordinates started to tremble and did not know what to say.
In the afternoon, Nicole and Clayton took Julie to see the male model at the set.
Julie was so excited that she immediately changed her clothes and left Kai, who was still dying on the hospital bed.
Clayton thoughtfully hired a caregiver and asked her to take good care of his brother-in-law.
The caregiver thought that Clayton was the best brother-in-law one could ever have.
Kai had no choice but to swallow his grievances.
Kai was itching with anger, but he could not do anything.
However, Kai finally understood that no other man besides Clayton would be able to get close to Nicole.
Clayton seemed gentle and generous, but he was actually so petty and must get his revenge.
Kai felt bad for his sister and himself.
He also resented his heartless wife, Julie.
After a while, Nicole and Clayton sent Julie back to the hospital.
Julie waved her hand and watched the couple leave.
......
At night, Selena sat at the bar and mixed a glass of cocktail. She learned it by herself. When she tasted it, it was bitter and spicy, but the aftertaste was rich and sweet.
As soon as she swallowed it, she saw a man and a woman walking in one after another. Her eyes widened immediately.
When the scar-faced man glanced over, Selena instantly lowered her head and added ice cubes to her glass.
Soon, the couple went upstairs to a private room, led by a waiter.
Selena’s heart instantly tightened.
She still remembered Eric’s violent reaction to this incident.
Did he not confront his mother yet?
Right… It was just awkward to confront one’s mother about such a scandal no matter how one put it.
After some thought, Selena called Eric.
Eric rejected her call.
She called him again, but he rejected it again.
Thus, Selena sent him a text message.
[They’re here again.]
In less than a second, Eric called back.
Selena picked it up.
Eric’s voice was deep and cold with forbearance.
“Is it the same guy?”
“Yeah.”
“Alright.”
Eric hung up the phone.
Selena had a feeling that the man on the phone was not as calm as he sounded.
She wrote down the private room number and felt uneasy.
This was her repayment to Eric.
She also knew that the surveillance footage in the bar would be deleted again.
Less than fifteen minutes passed before Eric came.
As soon as he came in, he attracted the eyes of many people.
Eric was handsome, noble, tall, and strong. He was wearing black trousers and a smoky-gray shirt. It was clear that he was not here to have fun.
He swept his gaze around coldly and settled on Selena.
Selena was wearing a smoky-gray dress that reached below the knees. It was not revealing as only her fair shoulders were exposed.
In this bar, Selena was dressed decently compared to the other women who wore skimpy dresses on the dance floor.
Selena gave off a familiar and comfortable vibe as she stood there.
