Chapter 2461 Devious

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.

Selena sat there and began to eat strawberries. She paused and suddenly said, “Eric.”

“Hmm?”

“I suspect you're belittling me!”

Selena said word by word.

Eric looked at her with a stiff face and twitched the corners of his mouth.

“You...”

Selena stretched out her hand, interrupted his words, and said righteously, “I’m good enough. We both shine in different areas, so I don't think that I’m lacking just because I can’t understand your meeting. You don’t know how to operate my bar either, so what you said isn’t valid to me. Don’t look down on me!” She made up her mind that Eric was belittling her with ill intentions.

Thus, no matter what Eric said, she felt that he had ulterior motives.

Eric’s face was rigid and sharp. He frowned and wanted to say something, but he held back. He wanted to explain himself, but he was also afraid that it would just make it worse.

Never mind.

Selena was so confident in herself.

Afterward, Selena’s phone rang.

Zachary, who she had not contacted for a few days, called her.

Selena felt a subtle emotion in her heart.

After all, Zachary helped her with the bar. She left him hanging for so long, so she felt guilty.

She took her phone and went to the balcony to answer the call.

Eric's gaze inadvertently followed Selena.He noticed that her smile was very cheerful, bright, and gentler.His heart clenched, and he let out a cold snort.He could vaguely hear her voice.

They were talking about a bar, some help, then dinner, and something else.

Eric lowered his dark eyes.

After she hung up the phone with a smile, Eric suddenly raised his head and looked at her with a faint smile.

“Ms. Nelson, what you said just now isn’t right.”

Selena suddenly became vigilant. “What's wrong?”

“you said that I don’t understand how your bar works. I don’t think so. 1 think 1 did a good job. Didn’t your bar start operations the day after we went for dinner? You didn’t even thank me for that. How could you say I don’t understand how to operate a bar?”

There was a bit of playfulness and indifference in Eric’s words as he stared at her expression.

Sure enough, Selena was completely shocked by his words.

“It was you? You helped to reopen the bar?”

Eric smiled nonchalantly.

“If not? Among the people you know, how many people can do it as easily as me? What, did you thank the wrong person? Do I need to call Mr. Cohen personally and ask who he did a favor for?”

Selena gulped and felt suffocated.

Her mood was fluctuating.

After hanging up the phone just now, Zachary casually used this incident to mention having dinner with her again.

She could not refuse, so she agreed to it.However, Eric told her the truth right after.

Selena chose to believe in Eric without hesitation.

That was because she knew that it was really a piece of cake for Eric.

What should she do? She was grateful to the wrong person.

Selena felt like she had swallowed a fly. She also seemed a little repulsed by Zachary.

“No need, Mr. Ferguson. I believe in you. Thanks for helping me.” She lowered her head and spoke.

She should not be ignorant.

If she delved into it, it would just be awkward for everyone.

The corners of Eric’s mouth twitched. He felt bored again.

If she did not believe him, then he could carry on with what he planned to do.

However, she believed him, so there was no need for it.

“Did you think it was because of that Salvatore guy?”
