Gerard was intrigued to hear this.
He also noticed the changes in Eric.
This was a good opportunity, so Gerard wanted to find out why Eric treated Selena differently.
“Yeah? So, what kind of man does your boss like?”
The waiter saw that Eric and Gerard were not ordinary men, and they looked like they had a good temper, so he said a few more words.
“My boss hasn’t accepted anyone yet, but those admirers just keep coming for my boss. My boss doesn’t want to lead them on either and made herself clear. She welcomes customers to the bar regardless of whether she likes them or not. But she won’t give any discounts or open a tab because we’re running a business.”
Gerard could not help but smile. He adjusted his glasses and looked at Eric.
“Interesting! Your boss is really eye-catching, huh?”
Eric snorted coldly.
“It’s because you don’t know her.”
The waiter did not like listening to Eric’s subtle insult, but he did not retort and only pursed his lips.
The waiter thought, ‘My boss is obviously the most beautiful boss ever! Is this man blind?!’
Gerard asked, “How do you know her? Why do I feel that a lot of things happened that I don’t know about during my time abroad?”
“There are a lot of things you don’t know.”
Eric took a sip from the wine glass. The rich and spicy liquid entered his throat, which made his blood more heated.
He thought that the woman sitting at the bar was becoming more of an eye-sore, especially when he saw a man touching her. His eyes seemed to be frozen.
“That person looks familiar. Does he come here often?”
When Eric asked, the waiter looked over.
“Oh, that man is one of my boss’s fanatic suitors. I think he’s a trust fund kid. He’s quite generous, but my boss never accepts gifts from him. Even after being rejected many times, he still comes over and drinks until he vomits. Then, his friend will take him away. But he just refuses to give up. He’s been here a lot of times. He doesn’t listen no matter what my boss says. Look, he’s starting to cry again...”
Gerard was shocked to hear this. He did not expect Selena to have such a great charm.
He glanced at Eric, who had already stood up.
Gerard looked in that direction and was about to walk over.
He paused and stopped Eric. “Why are you going there?”
Gerard let go of Eric after a while and smiled.
“Are you saving the damsel in distress? Go on then!”
Eric looked at him coldly. His lips were pursed into a straight line.
“Look properly! That idiot is Nathaniel! He said that he’s studying abroad, but he’s still trying to date someone here?”
His every word was cold.
The corners of Gerard’s mouth twitched, and he did not know what to say as he watched Eric march over coldly.
Gerard secretly mourned for Nathaniel.
Poor guy...
“Selena, can you please consider me? Every time I see you, I just feel like I’ve found the meaning of life! Do you believe it? You’re the compass to my life…”
Nathaniel drank some wine, and he was clearly not thinking through his words.
Selena sat next to him with a half-smile. She obviously did not believe a word he said.
However, she still nodded so that he would not be so sad.
“I believe you.”
Nathaniel took a deep breath and felt motivated to work harder.
“Then can you please think about it? We’re a really good fit, don’t you think? I’m an explorer, but I’m willing to change for you!”
Just when Selena was about to say something with a perfunctory smile, she saw Eric put a hand on Nathaniel’s shoulder.
“What are you going to change? Are you going to change your habit of having a new girlfriend every month? Aren’t you supposed to be studying abroad instead of picking up women in bars?”
Eric’s voice was extremely cold and deep.
Nathaniel’s whole body shuddered. He instantly sobered up and felt as if he was struck by lightning. He was so shocked that he almost fell off the high stool.
