The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss

Chapter 2494 Did Not Accept Immediately

Chapter 2494 Did Not Accept Immediately

Mitchell thought, ‘Did Eric take the wrong medication today? Why would he spend money on his love rival? Back then, he was not so tolerant toward Clayton!’

Mitchell was puzzled and did not dare to pursue this further, so he could only do as he was told.

Eric went to the office and was in a particularly good mood that day.

He patiently comforted some subordinates who made a mistake and let them off with a warning.

The subordinates left the President’s Office, apprehensive and confused. Their footsteps were light as they thought that they were dreaming.

Mitchell also thought that it was a little strange that Eric did not get him to kick people out that day. The bodyguards he had prepared were idle. Eric even gave them another chance.

This was very uncharacteristic of Eric!

It seemed that Selena’s influence was quite significant.

Mitchell was thinking about this when a department manager who had done something wrong came over anxiously. He grabbed Mitchell’s hand and would not let go.

“Mr. Crawford, what do you think Mr. Ferguson is doing today? Why does he keep smiling at me? I made a mistake in the proposal, but he didn’t scold me. He even asked me to change it and not to worry about it. Is he trying to force me to resign? Why do I have a bad feeling about this?”

Mitchell smiled. The department manager was not the only one who was anxious. There were rumors about Eric throughout the whole company.

Eric’s complexion had never been so good.

Mitchell said a few words of comfort before he let the department manager leave to correct the numbers on the proposal.

He took a deep breath and shook his head.

Mitchell did not expect this.

No matter what, this was a good thing. Eric could finally let go of Nicole and start his life anew. This was simply the best result.

In the bar, Selena yawned as she walked in. She saw Chaz, who came up to her, and Zachary, who had been sitting there waiting for her for who knew how long.

Zachary was still wearing yesterday’s clothes. He looked wretched and his face was a little glum.

Chaz watched as Selena walked in. He raised his eyebrows slightly and heaved a sigh of relief.

“Boss, Zachary has been waiting here for a long time. He came at dawn, saying that he has something to tell you in person.”

Selena glanced at him. She did not have time to look at her phone, so she clicked on it, only to find that Chaz had already reported it to her.

[Boss, Zachary is here again. He refuses to leave if he doesn’t see you! Are you going to hide outside?]

Selena turned off her phone, glanced at Zachary, who was walking over, and smiled politely.

“Sorry for the wait.”

Zachary pursed his lips. He could not conceal the tiredness on his handsome face.

However, he still shook his head.

“Selena, I…”

Selena stretched out her hand, interrupted him, and glanced at Chaz.

Chaz tactfully left to give them some privacy.

Selena crossed her arms, took a deep breath, and leaned on the sofa next to her

“Zachary, is there something you need from me?”

When Zachary saw that the group of people was safe last night, he began to worry about Selena.

However, at that time, Selena’s phone was no longer reachable.

Zachary suddenly felt that he had lost someone within his reach.

That feeling was so painful that he could not breathe.

“Selena, were you okay yesterday?”

Selena looked at him quietly and smiled.

“Aren’t I standing here now?”

“I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have left you alone yesterday. When I went back to look for you, I couldn’t find you. I’m sorry…”

Zachary was defeated.

He did not allow himself to leave that group of people who needed help, but he allowed himself to turn a blind eye to the dangers that might befall the people around him.

Zachary clenched his fists tightly. Regret was written all over his face.

He did not even attend the award ceremony this morning.

He just wanted to apologize and explain to her as soon as possible.

Selena looked at his guilty face, sighed softly, turned sideways, and smiled lightly.

“It’s okay. I forgive you, Zachary. You didn’t do anything wrong, so you don’t need to apologize.”

“But...”

Zachary did not fail to hear the alienation in Selena’s tone.

He still wanted to explain, but Selena interrupted him.

“I know I was selfish for putting myself above others and causing you such trouble. I’m the one who should apologize. Your profession requires you to help in disaster relief. You just did what you were supposed to do, so you didn’t do anything wrong. Escape with one person or save a group of people whose lives might be in danger. I believe your professional judgment will let you make the best choice.”

Selena looked at Zachary calmly and smiled. She could understand Zachary’s dilemma at that time.

She was in no position to blame him for anything.

Zachary’s shoulders relaxed slightly. Seeing her sincere smile, Zachary could not say anything for a moment.

Her explanation was indeed sensible.

Zachary pursed his lips. He recalled that Selena had not returned all night and had changed her clothes when she came in.

His gaze became a little complicated.

However, Zachary quickly covered up the discomfort he felt and did not let it show.

He just wanted to make sure whether she was still willing to choose him.

Zachary pretended to be relaxed and smiled.

“Selena, I’m today. Shall we make up for yesterday’s date?”

This was a tentative question.

Selena smiled. Her eyes were dull and distant as she slowly shook her head.

Zachary’s smile suddenly froze, and his body tensed up.

Selena smiled and sighed.

“Zachary, you know that I’ve been divorced and even hurt my ex-husband. The first half of my life wasn’t pleasant, so I especially hope that the second half of my life will be the best. I don’t mind not getting married, but if I do get married, I will definitely want my husband to always revolve around me and stand firmly by my side. I want to always be his number one priority. If I hate someone, he can’t like them either. If I said we’re going left, he can’t go right. If I tell him I want to see him at 8:00 am, then he can’t show up at 8:01 am. I’m a very controlling person, and I admit that I’m selfish. You’re a good man, but we’re not suitable for each other.” novelbin

Selena was not so selfless or tolerant.

Zachary’s face gradually turned cold.

“Then what you just said…”

“I understand you, but I don’t accept you.”

Selena spoke bluntly and turned her head away.

“Also, you were the one who reported my bar, right?”

Zachary’s face turned pale.

Only his bosses knew about this matter. Selena could not get in touch with them, but Eric could.

“Eric told you?”

Zachary sneered.

What a petty person!

Selena smiled. “No. I was quite angry at the time, but Eric said you did the right thing and solved this future problem for me, which is not a bad thing.”

Zachary frowned slightly.

He looked weird.

Why would Eric be so kind?

“But if you told me upfront, I would’ve been more grateful to you, not in this way.”

Selena smiled helplessly and glanced at Zachary.
