That one sentence quelled Selena’s excitement.
Oh, she forgot that the other party was Eric Ferguson.
Selena chuckled. “I was just joking. How could I do such a devious thing?”
Eric looked at her meaningfully as if he was saying, “Is there anything you can’t do?”
Selena was speechless.
All afternoon, Selena was busy helping Eric get his laptop and documents to prepare for a video conference.
Eric simply used her to the fullest.
Even during the meeting, he asked her to stand by with a glass of water, as if he was ready to drink water at any time.
There were also a variety of imported fresh fruit and snacks.
What a precious mouth this capitalist had!
Selena endured it all.
Seeing how enthusiastic Eric was about work, Selena thought that Eric probably would not spend too much time in bed.
He would get up on his feet in two days, so she should just put up with him.
At that moment, Eric was conducting a video conference with a stern expression.
Selena, who was next to him, picked a grape and handed it to him from time to time.
However, Eric did not eat it. Thus, she impatiently grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.
Eric choked and started coughing. Everyone on the other side of the meeting froze.
After he stopped coughing, he glanced at her in a warning and reminded the people in the meeting as if nothing had happened.
“Continue.”
Selena could not understand the content of their meeting. She just thought that it was very boring.
At some point, she stopped feeding Eric and started feeding herself.
After Eric realized that she had given up feeding him, he was a little displeased.
At the end of the meeting, Eric coughed.
“Ms. Nelson, is the food delicious?”
“It is!”
“The doctor said that I’m the one who needs to recuperate. If you’ve eaten all of my nutritious snacks, how can I recover?”
Selena pursed her lips. “Then should I spit it back out for you?”
Eric was speechless.
Selena laughed. “I’m just kidding, Mr. Ferguson. You were in a meeting just now. After the grapes were picked and washed, they would oxidize in 30 minutes and wouldn’t have any nutritional value, so it would be a waste if I didn’t eat them.”
Eric could not help but laugh out loud.
“You really know how to spin the situation, huh?”
Selena took a deep breath. “Shouldn’t I avoid listening in to your meetings? Isn’t your meeting high-level and confidential?”
Eric glanced at her.
“You understood what was going on?”
“No, I only understood the word ‘confidential’.”
Selena told the truth.
Eric chuckled. “There you have it. It’s not a secret to those who can’t understand.”
Selena suspected that he was humiliating her, but she had no evidence.
“It doesn’t matter. As long as you’re diligent, I think you can still be saved. Although it’s too late for you to start learning now, I don’t mind teaching you if you really want to understand what I’m talking about.”
Eric thought that Selena might have realized the gap between them.
Thus, she probably had a sense of inferiority in her heart.
It was normal for her to want to fit into his world.
Although there was a large gap between them, Eric was very tolerant of this woman.
He did not want to marry her, but he did not mind training her to be a successful career woman.
Eric suddenly felt a hot sensation in his heart.
It seemed that he would only feel better if he put up with her hot temper.
He thought that he was just a magnanimous person.
Selena frowned at him.
After a long time, neither of them spoke.
