Selena shook her head. “I don’t know either. It’s random, and you won’t see it until you open it.”
Chance could not stop moving his fingers, and he seemed a little excited.
“I must open it!”
The tension in the car subsided.
Selena lowered her head and chatted and laughed with Chance, gradually getting to know Chance better.
Soon, the two got along well.
Chance looked sensible and cautious. He resembled Eric, but he was much more likable than Eric.
For whatever reason, Chance was wary of everyone.
Chance could keenly feel someone’s kindness or malintent.
He was willing to approach anyone who was nice to him.
Selena smiled, looked at Mitchell, and said, “Mr. Crawford, just send me back to the bar. That way, it won’t be so troublesome.”
Mitchell paused and glanced at Eric.
Eric snorted coldly, closed the document, and said in a deep voice, “Are you treating us as your driver? After doing you such a favor, you must treat me to dinner!”
“You must treat me to dinner!”
When Selena heard that, she was infuriated.
However, it was just a meal, and it was not an unreasonable request. In front of Chance, Selena had no reason to talk back and refuse Eric’s request.
“Fine! I was going to do that anyway. What an honor… Heh…”
The corners of Eric’s mouth twitched. He knew not to expose her true intentions.
Sure enough, they were both two-faced.
However, Selena underestimated Eric.
Eric’s “meal” was not any ordinary meal.
They went to a high-end restaurant, and no one was there.
Mitchell went to the office to work, so only Eric and Chance stayed back.
Chance was not as timid as before. He obediently followed behind Eric and sat down on the chair.
Selena clicked her tongue twice and shook her head.
“Rich people really are a different breed! You’re not spending money to eat. You’re spending money to buy an ambiance!”
The restaurant was nicely decorated. Selena even suspected that the few antique sculptures placed at the entrance might be real.
Even though Selena was pampered by her grandfather since young, she really did not have the chance to witness such opulence.
Eric and Chance sat there with a menu in their hands.
They finally looked more like father and son.
Selena sat down and looked at the iPad, which also had a menu on it.
The waiter came over and bowed to introduce a few specialties to them.
Eric casually ordered two dishes. He did not speak, but his presence was so strong and intimidating.
Then, he looked at Chance, who ordered a children’s set meal.
Selena casually ordered a salad.
When the dishes were served, it was not only the ones they ordered. The restaurant gave them a few more dishes on the house. They all looked appetizing.
Chance ate obediently and quietly with a fork.
Selena looked at the father and son and felt that it was really awkward.
What was going on?
Eric was willing to stoop to her level and eat with her.
However, this meal was tasteless to Selena no matter how delicious the food was.
None of them spoke.
It was downright awkward.
While eating, Eric also noticed something.
It was unusually quiet.
Eric looked up and saw Chance eating properly, so he could not pick faults with him.
Selena did not seem to be paying much attention to what she ate. However, her delicate facial features seemed to glow in the soft light.
The pallor on her face faded a bit, and her neck was thin and slender.
Selena subconsciously raised her eyes. The moment she met Eric’s gaze, Eric seemed to see his reflection in her dark eyes.
She was so feminine and fragile as if he could strangle her with one hand.
