Eric lowered his eyes slightly. His eyes were dark and impenetrable.
“Are you still in contact with Zachary Salvatore?”
Selena paused, then shook her head. “No, I’ve made it clear to him.”
Eric’s brows relaxed. Good.
Then, there was no reason for Selena to reject him.
Eric paused. “Then what are you worried about?”
Selena suddenly thought of the way they left on bad terms the last time.
It was when Eric proposed for Selena to be with him.
Selena being with him did not mean that they were dating, nor did it mean that they would eventually get married.
She was expected to be with him without any labels, and their relationship was to be kept a secret.
Their intimacy last night made Eric think that they were already in this kind of relationship and that Selena was already his.
That was why Eric could openly ask her to move in with him.
Eric had no shortage of real estate, so he was not worried about what would happen after they break up in the future.
Selena lowered her eyes slightly and curled her lips. She went back to his side and leaned into him.
They were so close that she could smell his warm fragrance, mixed with the cocktail he had earlier.
It was faint and somewhat intoxicating.
It was really easy to get sucked into this trap.
Eric raised his hand and hugged her slender waist. He did not use any force and lightly placed his hand on her clothes.
If she raised her head, she could kiss his chin.
However, Selena did not raise her head. She just gently moved to his ear and said in a very soft voice, “It’ll be boring if we live together. You can come to me if you have needs, and I can come to you if I have needs. But we shouldn’t make it too obvious, don’t you think?”
Her words were gentle and considerate, like a spring breeze that blew on Eric’s face.
Selena felt that she knew him enough to know that this was the best choice for both parties.
She was happy with his body, and he was probably happy with hers too.
Other than that, they should not get too emotional.
They were all adults, so why bother?
Eric looked down at her with dark eyes. He was expressionless.
“When I have needs, huh? When may that be then?”
“It’s exactly as you understand it.”
Selena raised her head gently. Her eyes were delicate and glimmering as she looked at him, which made his heart melt.
Eric lowered his head. His eyes were deep, and her small and delicate face was reflected in them. She was so charming and beautiful.
Now, she was like a cunning little fox. He could see through her schemes at a glance.
However, Eric was not angry at all. On the contrary, he felt like a feather brushed through the tip of his heart. A warm current flowed through his body and soothed him.
There was tenderness on his face, but his eyes darkened a bit, and his throat moved slightly.
“Well, I think I have needs right now.”
Selena’s smile faltered slightly. She coughed and blushed a little.
“We’re not closed yet. Why don’t you go upstairs first? We can talk later.”
To men, this was a hint and an invitation.
Eric readily agreed.
Instead of sitting here and drinking in boredom, it would be better if he went upstairs and rested for a while.
Selena watched him go upstairs. The expression on her face tightened slightly.
She wanted to curse someone.
What a troublesome man!
After he went upstairs, Selena could not sit still anymore and felt restless.
Chaz, who came out of the private room, saw her in a daze, so he went over and nudged her.
“Boss, what’s the matter?”
Selena pursed her lips. “It’s nothing. Watch over the bar. I’m going upstairs.”
Chaz looked at her back thoughtfully and wanted to ask where Mr. Ferguson went.
