The Divorced Billionaire Heiress
Chapter 2454

Chapter 2454

Selena yelled, "Hah! I didn't count on you. I shouldn't have wasted my time at that dinner tonight. If I had dinner with my college junior, this matter might have already been resolved!" She was regretting joining Eric's dinner.

Although it was a rare opportunity to eat with such big shots, this did not affect the closing of her bar.

What did she gain from it?

Nothing at all.

Eric frowned. His face was extremely gloomy.

"Can he solve it for you? Hah..."

Selena turned her head away and refused to say another word to him.

The silence along the way made the driver in front extremely uneasy.

This was the first time the driver saw Eric sending someone home, yet that person dared to argue with him.

More importantly, Eric did not even kick her out.

It was really strange.

They finally arrived at the bar.

The driver stopped the car, and before he got down to open the door for Selena, Selena already pushed the door open and got out of the car.

The bar was closed for the past two days, so it was deserted.

On the other hand, the bar that was not doing so well before, had better business now.

That was why Selena was in such a hurry.

Eric opened his eyes and wanted to say a few words to Selena.

As a result, Selena slammed the door shut and left.

Eric's face was immersed in darkness, so his expression was hidden.

The driver asked timidly.

"Mr. Ferguson, shall we go back?"

It took Eric a long time to respond.

The driver let out a long sigh of relief.

The next day, the authorities passed on the good news to Selena. The suspension of business was lifted.

Selena could go about her business as usual.

Selena was shocked to hear this.

She excitedly called her employees, who took some time off, back.

Her regular customers were also excited to return.

To celebrate the reopening, Selena generously bought herself two flower baskets and placed them at the entrance.

With all the ups and downs, Selena could not help but be a little more ostentatious.

Chaz happily greeted the customers and went over to watch Selena finish singing a song. Then, he went over to Selena when she came down from the stage to drink some water. "Boss, another bar in the same situation as us closed for more than half a month back then. Our suspension was lifted so quickly. Did your college junior help you?" Selena paused.

She was so excited to start operations that she completely forgot about this.

"I don't know if he helped with this, but he helped to change out the fire extinguisher. We owe him a favor. Why don't I call him over for a drink?"

Selena looked at Chaz, who naturally had no objections. He shrugged and said, "Sure!"

She had saved Zachary's phone number, so she called him.

It took a long time for him to pick up.

"Hello?"

"Zac, the bar is open! Do you want to come over for a drink? It's on the house! I can thank you in the meantime."

Zachary paused for a few seconds before speaking.

"Selena, I can't right now because we're on strict orders not to go out at night. But congratulations!"

"Thanks! Well, if you have a chance next time, you must come over. Drinks will be on the house for you!"

Selena smiled. She was very generous.

Zachary responded casually and hung up the phone.

Selena thought that Zachary's lack of denial meant that he acquiesced to helping her.

Sure enough, it was Zachary who helped.

After all, Eric just told her last night to solve this by herself, so how could he be so kind as to help her?

Selena took a deep breath and continued to dance with the people on the dance floor.

A few days later, Chance came over and told Selena what sounded like good news to her.

"Daddy is sick!"

Selena was shocked, but she nodded understandingly.

"Well, with his crazy work habits, he'll die early anyway!"

Chance looked unhappy.

"It's the first time I see him so weak. He won't wake up, and no one is there to scold me when I get into trouble. Auntie, I feel a little sad..."

Selena felt that Chance was too kind.

Although Eric did not have much affection for his son. Chance did not consider Eric's harshness as a form of hatred. Chance just respected his father very much.

Thus, Selena swallowed the sarcastic words that she wanted to say and comforted him softly.

"It's okay. He'll be fine in a few days."

Chance raised his head and was hesitant to speak.

Selena pursed her lips. "Just tell me whatever you want. You know we're good friends!"

"Auntie, Daddy's at home now, but he's also worried about the company's affairs and needs someone to stay with him at home to help him handle the business. I can't do it, and Daddy doesn't allow other people to enter the study. Auntie, can I ask you to come over and help Daddy for a few days?"

Chance looked at the dumbfounded Selena with pitiful eyes. He was afraid that she would refuse, so he went to hold her hand.

"Please, Auntie... Daddy doesn't allow employees of the company to come to our house, and the servants don't understand his work. Only you can help..."

Selena did not know when she had become the "only" solution.

"Chance, you also know that I can't get along with your father. If I go over, I may just poison his food!"

Chance pursed his lips. "I know you won't. If you don't go,

I'm afraid they'll get Ms. Yeager or someone else to go. I don't like them. They'll just use me and bully me..."

As the child spoke, his eyes turned slightly red.

The worry and fear in his eyes were unveiled.

Selena did not know what happened.

She was distressed by Chance's tears, so she became softhearted for a moment and agreed to his request.

"Okay, but I have to make it clear that you're the one who asked me to go. If your father doesn't want me there, I'll leave right away, okay? I won't do anything else for him then." Chance nodded happily.

"Aunt Selena, don't worry. Daddy will be very grateful to you when he recovers!"

He waved his hand and said, "I'll ask Uncle Mitchell to pick you up tomorrow!"

Selena was still wondering how this was settled so quickly.

Did she agree to Chance too quickly before Eric agreed to it?

She pursed her lips.

Suddenly, she received a text message.

It was from Zachary. [Are you free tomorrow? Wanna have dinner together?]

Selena thought about it for a while before she replied to him.

[I have something to do tomorrow. Sorry.]

Zachary asked. [What about the day after tomorrow?]

Selena paused. Zachary helped her, so she could not keep refusing him.

However, she already promised Chance, so she could not go back on her word.

Thus, she typed.

[I'm afraid I won't be free during this time. I'll contact you after I've settled everything?]

In the end, Zachary never replied.

He probably thought that this was Selena's excuse to reject him. She started by refusing to meet him.

Selena wasted no effort in rejecting his pursuit, just like back then.

She felt guilty, and she panicked a little when he did not reply her.

It would be great even if he was just her eye candy.

What a waste of a great opportunity!

Selena cursed Eric again.

The next day, Mitchell came unexpectedly early in the morning.
