Selena instantly regretted coming over. She also had the urge to pour the entire bottle of wine on Eric’s head.
However, she kept telling herself that this wine was too expensive.
Gerard, who was sitting on the side, smiled gently and looked at Selena.
“You’re not bothering us, Ms. Nelson. We were just talking casually. It’s not very important. What’s the matter?”
Selena’s complexion improved slightly. She looked at Gerard and smiled.
“Since Mr. Ferguson is our regular customer and brought you over as a new customer, I’d like to welcome you here with this bottle of wine as a gift…”
Gerard’s eyes lit up, and he took it over with a smile.
“Thank you, Ms. Nelson. How do you know that this is Mr. Ferguson’s favorite wine?”
Selena’s face froze slightly. She glanced at Eric dumbfoundedly.
“Huh?”
Gerard laughed and said, “You probably inquired about it in advance, right?”
Selena was speechless as she thought, ‘No, I didn’t!’
Gerard patted Eric on the shoulder.
“Look at Ms. Nelson’s sincerity! I’m so grateful for this. We made the right choice by coming over tonight. Ms. Nelson is considerate, meticulous, and gentle. She’s really different from others.”
Gerard was singing praises for Selena.
However, it had a different meaning to Eric.
Eric raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, “She is indeed different.”
He thought, ‘She can swear better than anyone!’
Selena did not stay any longer for fear that she would lose control and get into another fight with Eric. Then, that good bottle of wine would go to waste.
Thus, she left with a smile on her face.
She went back to the bar and saw that Jayla had not left yet. Instead, Jayla looked at her in shock.
Selena did not intend to strike up a conversation with Jayla and turned to look at the dancing crowd on the stage.
How vibrant!
The woman next to her suddenly interrupted her appreciative mood.
“Um… Selena…”
Selena turned her head.
She saw Jayla’s anxious expression. “Were you calling for me?”
Jayla nodded and pointed in the direction Selena came back from.
“Is that really Eric?”
Selena snorted lightly:
“It’s not like you haven’t seen him before. You’ll know if you go and see it by yourself.”
Jayla wanted to go over, but she was afraid that if she went there rashly, Eric would get upset. If that were the case, Jayla would just make him irritated, then her task would fail.
“Can I ask you for a favor?”
“No. We’re not friends, so why should I help you?”
Selena stopped Jayla’s thoughts of asking her for help.
Jayla was silent for a few seconds, but she did not give up easily.
“What if I paid you?”
Selena finally looked at her square in the face and smiled meaningfully.
“Sure. If you want to catch a big fish, I’ll charge $10,000 for a rich man’s number, but Eric Ferguson’s number is worth $100,000.”
“What?! Are you robbing a bank?!”
“It’s fine if you don’t want to. Of course, Eric’s number is worth a lot. I’ve already given you a discount. His net worth is way more than that, right?”
Selena smiled.
Jayla hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, she agreed and took out her phone.
“I’ll transfer the money to you.”
Selena was slightly surprised.
She had underestimated Eric’s charm.
However, she did not say much and just accepted the money.
At least, she could recover the cost of that bottle of wine earlier.
Selena was elated.
“Go and ask for it then!”
Jayla urged Selena.
Selena pursed her lips, found Eric’s number in her phone, and showed it to Jayla.
“Here.”
“You… How do you have his personal phone number? You’re not fooling me, are you?”
Jayla’s face was full of disbelief.
