The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2418

Eric’s voice was cold as he said, “I came here to talk business, unlike you. You can go back first. Come and see me at the office tomorrow morning.”

The corners of Nathaniel’s mouth froze as he thought, ‘I still need to book an appointment to get scolded?’

However, Nathaniel had no other choice because Eric called the shots in the Ferguson family.

Nathaniel sighed, shook his head, and left.

Eric watched as Nathaniel completely disappeared at the door.

Only then did he retract his gaze and look dubiously at Selena, who was sitting there.

Selena tilted her head and looked at Eric with a faint smile. Her eyebrows were raised, and her cheeks were slightly flushed because of the alcohol.

“Mr. Ferguson, are you satisfied with my attitude?”

Eric stood there. “Why aren’t you curious about my relationship with him?”

Selena pursed her lips. “He told me a long time ago that his second uncle is the president of Ferguson Corporation. He showed me his trump card as soon as he came here, so why should I be surprised?”

Eric frowned. “You already knew? Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“Hah! I’m not your babysitter, so why should I keep an eye on where your nephew goes? Come on, he’s almost thirty. He has a mind of his own.”

Selena sized Eric up and secretly thought that Eric was being unreasonable.

The bar was noisy and rowdy.

Seeing Selena roll her eyes, Eric knew that Selena must be holding back an insult.

After a few seconds of silence, he said in a deep voice, “He has always been a wild child, running all over the world. Back then, he dated someone for almost a year, but after that woman remarried her ex-husband, Nathaniel completely let loose. So, don’t believe in his sweet talk. They’re all fake.”

Back then, everyone knew about what happened between Nathaniel and Livia.

Livia remarried Keith Ludwig because of an unexpected pregnancy.

Nathaniel looked fine, but he was not doing well during that time. Since then, he kept having flings.

Eric told Selena so that she would not be swayed by Nathaniel.

Selena frowned slightly and looked at him strangely.

Her gaze was complicated when she said, “Mr. Ferguson, I don’t know him very well, so you don’t need to explain in such detail. After all, this is someone else’s privacy. It’s very disrespectful for you to say this about your nephew!”

Eric’s face darkened a little. His eyes were dark.

“You really don’t know how to appreciate me. I was just afraid that you’d fall head over heels for him and agree to date him. Then, you’ll get dumped. If that happens, don’t come to me because I won’t meddle in your own business again or help you in another divorce.”

Hearing him mention those unpleasant things in the past, Selena was infuriated.

“I ought to thank you, then! Honestly, nothing good ever comes out of your mouth. Your nephew is good at flattering me, so maybe I’ll agree to date him for a while. If only you’d have an inkling of his sweet-talking skills, you wouldn’t be so lonely!”

Eric’s eyes were deep as he stared at Selena sternly.

Just when Selena thought Eric was going to get angry and say something nasty, Eric took a deep breath and looked speechless.

“I really have nothing to say to you.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of his booth.

Selena clicked her tongue and continued to drink her wine with her head down.

The waiter at the side just served Eric a fruit platter.

He was a little flustered when he saw his boss talking to Eric like that.

The waiter could not help but step forward. “Boss, that person doesn’t look like someone we should mess with. He won’t get back at us, will he?”

Selena paused. Suddenly, she felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on her head. After some thought, she said, “I don’t think so… He won’t have time to get back at us, right? I just said that in a drunken fit!”

The waiter looked at Selena and sighed.

“You finally got out of trouble, and we finally got on the right track. We can’t afford to offend a big shot at this time. Why don’t you go and apologize?”

Selena reluctantly put down her wine glass.

She felt good yelling at Eric earlier. It would be too forceful for her to apologize to him now.

Suddenly, Selena panicked and felt a little awkward.
