Eric glanced at Selena with a deep gaze and quickly looked away, like a gust of wind that disappeared before it touched her skin.
“Chance wants to get close to you. Haven’t you thought about why?”
Selena shrugged and boasted. “It must be because I’m beautiful and kind-hearted. Everyone loves me because I’m adorable!”
Eric looked at her strangely.
“Have you looked in a mirror recently?”
“No, will you piss on the floor so I can look at my reflection?”
Selena restrained her smile and looked at him angrily.
She finally understood that when facing Eric, it was quite a test for her to maintain her composure.
It only took less than a few minutes for her to lose her composure.
The man stared at her silently and solemnly. He said in a low voice, “Are you really a woman?”
“Yes, but I don’t know if you’re a man or not!”
Selena immediately retorted.
Eric took a deep breath. The veins on his forehead were bulging from anger.
“Aren’t you leaving? Are you waiting for me to see you off?”
Selena spoke impatiently.
After that, she turned around and planned to go back to the bar.
She really could not stand talking to him.
If she stayed any longer, she felt that she might not be able to control herself and fight him.
She paused.
Before she reached the entrance of the bar, she heard heavy footsteps coming from behind.
Selena looked back subconsciously.
Eric’s eyes flickered. Then, he tugged at his drenched clothes and sneered.
“Okay. I’m not here to look for you. I’m here to find that woman so that she can pay for my clothes.”
Selena’s expression changed slightly, and her eyes flickered as she thought, ‘How did I forget about that $300,000 so quickly? I’m so careless! If Eric finds out that I used him to solve my problem, he’ll probably stomp all over my dignity again! Why am I so unlucky?’
She turned around stiffly and slowly smiled.
“That woman… Ran away.”
Eric snorted coldly.
“I can still catch her even if she ran away. Don’t you have surveillance cameras?”
Selena paused and quickly said, “The surveillance camera is broken.”
Eric looked at her deeply. His eyes were as dark as the night sky.
A gust of wind blew by, bringing a sudden chill.
Eric’s face was indifferent. “Did you arrange for that woman to approach me? Is your bar really so poor that you need to use this kind of method to continue operating?”
Selena thought, ‘I think he’s missing the point…’
She frowned and immediately retorted.
“I didn’t. I’m innocent! I don’t need to sell drinks like this. How could I ruin my bar’s reputation?”
“Then why are you protecting her? You seem guilty.”
Eric could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Selena.
That woman running away, and the broken surveillance cameras were all excuses to fool him.
However, he was not easy to fool.
Selena was tongue-tied for the first time and couldn't find any excuses.
“I’m not protecting her, and I’m not guilty. I just… Well, you’re drenched. Why don’t you go to my place and change first?”
Eric glanced at her, snorted coldly, and walked in.
Selena was momentarily relieved when Eric went inside and stopped pursuing that woman’s problem.
