The Deserted Rich Beauty novel Chapter 2487

It had only been a few days. Eric went abroad to deal with an urgent matter. He was afraid that Selena would feel distant and indifferent about him, so he dealt with a month’s worth of work as quickly as he could and came back as soon as possible.

As a result, Eric came back and saw this scene. How could he remain indifferent?

Selena’s face darkened. She took a deep breath.

“I’m not using him as a shield, and I’m not afraid of you. I’m choosing my relationships carefully and don’t want to be forced into another cage where I can’t be myself. I’m not interested in you, so you don’t have to waste your time on me. Trying to force my hand is useless!”

Selena took a step forward, looked at Eric coldly, and lowered her tone.

“Eric, I can kill Derek Norton. Do you want to be the next one?”

Her voice was very low and light as it floated in the air along with the wind.

Eric’s body was stiff, and his eyes trembled slightly.

He seemed taken aback by her words.

It was not because of her threat, but because she actually compared him with Derek Norton.

To Selena, was Eric the same kind of person as that scumbag?

Force her hand?

Was that what she thought of him?

Selena took a step back without saying anything, turned around, and got into Zachary’s car. She closed the car door and put on her seat belt.

Then, she turned to Zachary, who was looking at her with a smile, and said softly, “Let’s go. Aren’t we late?”

Zachary nodded and started the car.

Soon, they left.

Selena inadvertently glanced at the rearview mirror and saw that Eric was still standing there, motionless.

Hah! How dare he threaten her?

Did he think that she was an ordinary person who would surrender without a fight?

Selena’s gaze was complex for a moment, but that emotion quickly disappeared.

There was silence in the car.

Neither of them spoke at first.

In the end, Selena interrupted the awkward silence.

“Sigh… That bouquet went to waste…”

Zachary chuckled lightly and said lightly, “You didn’t like it anyway, so it’s not a waste.”

Selena said, “Who said that? I quite like it…”

This sounded a bit fake.

Zachary could not help but smile and glanced at her.

“It’s alright if you don’t like it. I only bought it because someone recommended it, and I didn’t think it would be nice to show up empty-handed. After all, it’s a special day today…”

Selena said that they were on a date.

Since it was a date, it meant that Selena was acquiescing to advancing their relationship.

Selena finally laughed and shook off the haze and unhappiness in her heart.

“That’s right. It’s Valentine’s Day, but the location you thought of is nice. I’ve heard some customers mentioning it several times before in the bar. The environment is great there. It’s spacious and a good place to stargaze. I’m looking forward to it!”

Zachary took a deep breath, stretched out his hand with a smile, and held Selena’s hand.

Selena struggled for a while on instinct, but Zachary did not let go.

He did not force her either.

He just gently squeezed her hand and gave her a gentle and considerate smile.

“Selena, can I not call you by your name after today?”

Zachary tilted his head sideways. He looked handsome and lazy.

Selena’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She endured the uneasiness in her heart and pretended to be calm.

“Then what do you want to call me?”

She felt that it was just a temporary discomfort and that she would get used to the intimacy after some time.

Zachary’s hair was scattered in front of his forehead, which covered his eyebrows. His deep voice was bewitching as he said, “Can I call you babe?”

Selena’s heart skipped a beat. She suddenly realized that her face was burning hot.

For a moment, she felt like she was overreacting.
