Thus, regarding his assistant’s question, Harvey just smiled slightly and hid his thoughts and emotions.
Harvey did not want anyone to see that he had feelings for Selena because he was not sure that he could steal her away from Eric.
“What feelings? Ms. Nelson is just Ms. Nixon’s friend, and Ms. Nixon asked me to take care of her.”
His voice was slow and languid.
He sounded indifferent as he answered casually before he lowered his head to play with his phone.
Upon hearing this, the assistant nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Sorry, I was overthinking it. Turns out it’s because of Ms. Nixon. That’s good. But you should also find a girlfriend. The manager said that you’re living the life of a robot.”
Harvey smiled, stretched his back, and replied helplessly, “Forget it. I’ve been married once, so I’m scarred for life. I really have no interest in dating anyone.”
After he finished speaking, he took out the blindfold to cover his eyes and take a nap.
The assistant smiled embarrassedly and did not continue to ask.
It was good to know that Harvey did not have romantic feelings for Selena.
After all, they witnessed what Eric Ferguson was capable of after this incident.
Even an A-lister like Lara was blacklisted at his command. To Eric, the entertainment circle was just kid’s play.
No one could tell what tomorrow would bring.
Thus, it was better if Harvey focused on his career!
——
In the ward, Selena was packing her things.
Eric went out for a while and did not want to stay in the hospital any longer.
He insisted on going home tomorrow.
Selena thought that the conditions at home were not any worse than the hospital and even had a better environment, so she readily agreed and started to pack up their things in the room with the servants.
Eric was sitting in the living room, still wearing sunglasses. He was quietly listening to Mitchell’s report about the company.
Selena forgot where her phone was.
She looked for it but could not find it.
“Mr. Ferguson, have you seen my phone?”
Eric took the phone out of his pocket. “Is it this one?”
Selena took a look and breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh, it’s with you.”
“Well, I pocketed two phones in the car. Since our phone model is the same, I can’t tell the difference.”
Selena nodded and did not care.
After all, Eric could not see, so it was normal for him to take the wrong phone.
Selena glanced at it and did not see any new messages, so she turned off her phone and continued to pack her things.
Eric smiled and continued to listen to Mitchell with his head down.
After Mitchell finished talking about the company’s affairs, he changed his tune.
“Also, the person you asked me to keep an eye on has arrived at the airport today.”
Eric’s smile froze, and his voice turned indifferent.
“Alright.”
Eric hung up the phone.
After a while, Selena came over, sat down, and drank a glass of Amaretto.
She sighed. “I’m exhausted. We can leave in a while.”
Eric hesitated and said, “Why don’t I take you to a party later?”
Selena paused. “I’m not going.”
“It’s just a private dinner party for a friend that came from abroad. I should’ve gone to pick him up, but it’s inconvenient for me now. He’ll probably forgive me, but he invited me to the dinner party since he knew that I could leave the hospital. It’ll be rude not to attend.”
Seeing that Selena remained silent, Eric said patiently, “Don’t worry. There’s nothing else you need to do. There won’t be many people at the dinner on the cruise ship, so you can just go there and eat.”
Selena pursed her lips. “I don’t want to go. Why should I waste time?”
“I know. But will you accompany me? In my current situation, I can’t go alone. Don’t you still want to be my assistant? How can my assistant just give up and quit?”
Eric coaxed her nicely.
Selena was actually not that stubborn.
After all, Eric just helped her to vent her anger.
