The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)
Chapter 2495 Not With Him

Zachary pondered and said in a low voice, "Sorry..."

Selena did not want to hear his apologies.

Apologizing meant that she had to compromise and forgive him.

Selena could forgive him, but she would not compromise.

She did not even want to continue this topic.

Zachary stood there powerlessly. His complexion was glum as he tried to convince her.

"Selena, I've liked you for a long time..."

"Thanks for liking me. I know you liked me for a long time, and I was really happy. That's because when I didn't know what my future held in those dark days and wanted to die with my ex-husband at any time, someone still liked me, which meant that someone in this world would miss me. I am really honored and happy that you liked me, and I sincerely wanted to try being with you. But I'm sorry. I can't persuade myself to compromise. This is my bottom line, so please forgive me."

Selena looked at Zachary sincerely with clear eyes. She had no intention of leading him on.

She had always been serious and respectful toward Zachary.

Zachary looked at her for a few seconds and slowly relaxed his stiff face.

He felt suffocated.

Zachary knew that she was not joking, nor was she really blaming him for abandoning her.

If they were really together, such a thing might happen more than once.

Out of his job responsibility, Zachary would have to repeatedly leave her behind.

However, Selena should not be treated like this. She had always been a proud and bright person. She struggled out of the mud to be reborn, not to compromise.

Selena wanted to choose an easy life and someone who would not leave her behind. She was worth it.

Zachary's throat moved slightly. A bitterness spread all over his body.

Perhaps God was mocking him, giving him hope and depriving him of it.

Zachary quietly lowered his eyes. After a long time, he smiled stiffly.

"Okay, I understand. I won't bother you in the future."

He looked at her, pursed his lips, and asked, "Was it Eric?"

The person who picked her up last night.

Selena lowered her eyes lightly and nodded.

Zachary exhaled lightly and left the bar quietly without saying anything.

It was good that it was Eric.

Judging from Eric's attitude and reaction last night, Zachary felt that Eric cared for Selena.

Selena sat quietly for ten minutes after Zachary left.

Chaz came out after a while and saw that Selena was the only one there.

"Is it settled? Did you give up on Zachary?"

Selena glanced at Chaz, sighed, and stood up.

"You're right. The question has always been to live or to dream..."

Chaz suddenly understood the meaning behind her words and immediately beamed with joy.

"Boss, I haven't seen you wear this dress before. You look beautiful! It suits you very well. Oh, right. This brand is worth as much as the most expensive bottle of wine in our bar!"

Selena looked at him with disdain.

"What? Can't I wear a counterfeit?"

Chaz paused and thought, 'How could Mr. Ferguson allow his woman to wear counterfeit items?'

Selena flicked her hair and went up the stairs gracefully.

"Don't disturb my sleep. Wake me up for dinner later."

Selena had not eaten much in the morning. Those few slices of bread and salad were not enough to fill her stomach.

She was better off eating a burrito.

Chaz was speechless.

Selena fell asleep as soon as she lay on her bed.

The exhaustion from last night overwhelmed her, so she had no energy to think about anything else.

She would just have to deal with whatever came her way day by day.

Ferguson Corporation.

Eric checked his phone every five minutes.

He saw that his phone battery was almost dead.

There were quite a few calls, but none of them were from that woman.

All day, Eric's mood was like a roller coaster, from joy, to calm, to dissatisfaction, and anxiety.

Even he did not realize that Selena had him wrapped around her finger.

He was getting more and more restless.

The manager who had done something wrong earlier said that Eric seemed to be a different person and was much nicer.

Thus, everyone took the opportunity to go upstairs to complain and report their problems, wanting to take advantage of Eric's good mood to erase their faults and do things that could not be done normally. As a result, when it was almost time to get off work, Eric scolded them mercilessly before they finished talking.

Eric's scolding was sharp and ruthless. That complexion and attitude were even worse than usual!

Was there something wrong?

Mitchell stayed in his office, not daring to try his luck.

Even if others did not know the reason for Eric's mood swings, Mitchell was aware.

Eric's office was adjacent to Mitchell's, and Eric liked to make phone calls on the balcony.

As long as Eric went to the balcony to make a phone call, Mitchell would be able to hear some of the content from his office.

Eric answered the phone with a businesslike tone for every call.

It seemed that Eric never received a call from Selena all day.

Was that why Eric was so frustrated?

Mitchell was hesitating whether to call Selena to remind her about her relationship with Eric and not to give Eric the cold shoulder so soon.

With that in mind, Mitchell made the call.

Selena picked up quickly and sounded like she was eating.

"Mr. Crawford, what's the matter?"

"Ms. Nelson, have you been busy all day? If you need my help, don't hesitate to ask me directly!"

Selena smiled. "Don't worry. I wasn't busy. I slept all day and just woke up to eat. I'm about to open the bar!"

Slept all day...

Mitchell smiled dryly. "Well, since you and Mr. Ferguson just got together, why didn't you call him to chat? He was so busy that he didn't even eat lunch..."

Mitchell just wanted to remind Selena not to forget about Eric!

Selena laughed.

The sound engineer in the bar was adjusting some equipment, so Selena's voice was a little loud. She spoke frankly.

"Who told you that we're together? It's not the first time I've stayed in his house. A one-night stand doesn't change anything! Mr. Crawford, don't make a fuss about it. Mr. Ferguson and I are single and definitely not a couple, so even if your boss starves to death, it's his own responsibility. Alright, I'm busy now. Goodbye!"

Before Mitchell could react, Selena hung up the phone.

He sat there and felt an eerie chill.

Did he hear it correctly? To Selena, Eric had nothing to do with her, and they were both single?

In the villa, Selena was clearly wearing Eric's clothes that could not even cover the marks on her body.

When they were in the car, Mitchell clearly saw Eric and Selena cuddling from the corner of his eye like a couple in love!

Why were they still single?

Did Eric sleep with Selena before they became a couple?

Now, Selena did not want to admit it?

Mitchell suddenly regretted making the call.

It was time to get off work.

Mitchell thought that everyone could leave work early and that they did not have to work overtime.

In the end, Eric had no intention of leaving.

If Eric did not leave, Mitchell would have to stay here with him.

Mitchell let out a long sigh. He did not want to go to Eric and get scolded, but Eric called him over.

Thus, Mitchell could no longer hide and had no choice but to go to Eric's office.
