The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2453

Zachary paused. He looked a little annoyed and helpless.

“My boss saw me, so it’ll be rude if I don’t go.”

Right.

Selena thought about it and nodded.

Just as she was about to leave with her bag, Zachary suddenly reached out to stop her. He asked with probing eyes.

“Selena, what’s your relationship with Eric Ferguson?”

“He’s just an acquaintance.”

Zachary nodded and smiled.

“Right, it’s quite amazing that you get to know such a big shot. I heard that Eric Ferguson is the most eligible bachelor in the elite circle. His minimum standard for a partner is a Ph.D. holder. Some can’t even make the cut!”

Selena listened and felt slightly uncomfortable.

Zachary glanced at Selena and smiled.

“But he’s not good enough for you, Selena. Everyone knows how beautiful and smart you are!”

The gloom in Selena’s heart was swept away, and she nodded happily.

When the two of them went into the private room, everyone was already there.

There were two other empty seats reserved for them.

One was next to Eric, and one was next to Mr. Cohen.

Selena thought about it and did not want to sit next to Eric.

Thus, she smiled and targeted the seat next to Mr. Cohen.

“Mr. Cohen, I…”

Eric’s face was gloomy as he coughed.

Mr. Cohen immediately realized what was going on and hurriedly pulled open the seat next to him and said, “Zac, come here! I reserved this seat specially for you!”

Zachary glanced at Selena before he walked over to sit down with a faint smile and a somewhat nonchalant look.

He did not seem nervous in this gathering of big shots.

The others also kindly told them to sit.

Selena glanced around. She did not know anyone except Eric.

After she sat down, Eric thoughtfully introduced her to everyone.

Beside Mr. Cohen was another internet tycoon, Marquis, whose only hobby was fishing.

In the eyes of the media, Marquis basically lived at sea.

There was also a bigwig in the investment world and a well-known politician in this city.

For the first time, Selena felt that it must be tiring to be Eric because he always had to entertain bigshots even during meal times.

Fortunately, these bigwigs were nice. Their conversation revolved around their family and leisure matters.

Only Zachary sat there indifferently as if he was just there to make up the numbers.

Eric looked at Zachary more than once and thought that he was a young, arrogant, and handsome guy.

Sensing Eric’s gaze, Mr. Cohen introduced him with a smile.

“Zachary is Silas Salvatore’s son. Silas asked me to train him in the fire department for a while. Zac is a good firefighter. If not for Silas’ objection, I really want to keep Zac in the fire department forever!”

Everyone nodded in understanding.

“No wonder! So, he’s Silas Salvatore’s son.”

Selena was dull, but she also knew who Silas Salvatore was.

He used to be the mayor of the city, who had recently been promoted to governor.

Silas was a bigwig in politics.

No wonder Zachary was not at all intimidated by such an occasion.

Zachary must have been to many such dinners since he was young.

Selena shrank her neck. She was the only small fry among everyone present.

Eric suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice, “Are you nervous?”

Selena pursed her lips, pursed her lips, covered her mouth, lowered her head, and said, “No. The people here don’t prevent me from earning $3,000 a month…”

Eric let out a low chuckle, glanced at Selena with a faint smile, and whispered again, “Good. You’ve got character.”

The waiters served the dishes one after another. They were professional and did not stare at the guests. They knew that they should not let their eyes wander.

Selena suddenly remembered her situation and thought that she only knew Eric here.

Thus, she could only approach him reluctantly.

“Um… When do you think it’s okay to mention my bar?”
