Zachary paused. He looked a little annoyed and helpless.
“My boss saw me, so it’ll be rude if I don’t go.”
Right.
Selena thought about it and nodded.
Just as she was about to leave with her bag, Zachary suddenly reached out to stop her. He asked with
probing eyes.
“Selena, what’s your relationship with Eric Ferguson?”
“He’s just an acquaintance.”
Zachary nodded and smiled.
“Right, it’s quite amazing that you get to know such a big shot. I heard that Eric Ferguson is the most
eligible bachelor in the elite circle. His minimum standard for a partner is a Ph.D. holder. Some can’t
even make the cut!”
Selena listened and felt slightly uncomfortable.
Zachary glanced at Selena and smiled.
“But he’s not good enough for you, Selena. Everyone knows how beautiful and smart you are!”
The gloom in Selena’s heart was swept away, and she nodded happily.
When the two of them went into the private room, everyone was already there.
There were two other empty seats reserved for them.
One was next to Eric, and one was next to Mr. Cohen.
Selena thought about it and did not want to sit next to Eric.
Thus, she smiled and targeted the seat next to Mr. Cohen.
“Mr. Cohen, I…”
Eric’s face was gloomy as he coughed.
Mr. Cohen immediately realized what was going on and hurriedly pulled open the seat next to him and
said, “Zac, come here! I reserved this seat specially for you!”
Zachary glanced at Selena before he walked over to sit down with a faint smile and a somewhat
nonchalant look.
He did not seem nervous in this gathering of big shots.
The others also kindly told them to sit.
Selena glanced around. She did not know anyone except Eric.
After she sat down, Eric thoughtfully introduced her to everyone.
Beside Mr. Cohen was another internet tycoon, Marquis, whose only hobby was fishing.
In the eyes of the media, Marquis basically lived at sea.
There was also a bigwig in the investment world and a well- known politician in this city.
For the first time, Selena felt that it must be tiring to be Eric because he always had to entertain
bigshots even during meal times.
Fortunately, these bigwigs were nice. Their conversation revolved around their family and leisure
matters.
Only Zachary sat there indifferently as if he was just there to make up the numbers.
Eric looked at Zachary more than once and thought that he was a young, arrogant, and handsome guy.
Sensing Eric’s gaze, Mr. Cohen introduced him with a smile.
“Zachary is Silas Salvatore’s son. Silas asked me to train him in the fire department for a while. Zac is a
good
firefighter. If not for Silas’ objection, I really want to keep Zac in the fire department forever!”
Everyone nodded in understanding.
“No wonder! So, he’s Silas Salvatore’s son.”
Selena was dull, but she also knew who Silas Salvatore was.
He used to be the mayor of the city, who had recently been promoted to governor.
Silas was a bigwig in politics.
No wonder Zachary was not at all intimidated by such an occasion.
Zachary must have been to many such dinners since he was young.
Selena shrank her neck. She was the only small fry among everyone present.
Eric suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice, “Are you nervous?”
Selena pursed her lips, pursed her lips, covered her mouth, lowered her head, and said, “No. The
people here don’t prevent me from earning $3,000 a month…”
Eric let out a low chuckle, glanced at Selena with a faint smile, and whispered again, “Good. You’ve got
character.”
The waiters served the dishes one after another. They were professional and did not stare at the
guests. They knew that they should not let their eyes wander.
Selena suddenly remembered her situation and thought that she only knew Eric here.
Thus, she could only approach him reluctantly.
“Um… When do you think it’s okay to mention my bar?”
Hearing this, Eric raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his lips.
“If you beg me, I can speak for you.”
Selena was speechless as she thought, ‘This b*stard! I knew there was no free lunch in this world!’
Everyone was relaxed after the meal.
Zachary barely said a word and only ate.
The others talked and laughed cordially.
Eric only interjected a few words from time to time. He did not talk much, but he chatted with Selena
throughout the dinner.
However, it was clear that everyone respected Eric and included him in almost every topic.
Only Eric would choose to continue the topic or leave it be.
Thus, it was clear at a glance who was the leader of this group.
Selena was not in the right state of mind, so her meal felt tasteless.
She did not want to rashly bring up her bar’s problem in front of all these bigwigs, but she did not want
to beg Eric either.
Just like that, time passed.
Everyone was done eating.
Selena listened to their conversation and thought that they did not talk about anything serious.
Did they come here just to eat?
After dinner, everyone left one after another.
Zachary turned to look at Selena.
“Selena, I’ll send you back…”
Just as Selena was about to speak, Eric stopped her.
“Don’t want to hear about your bar’s situation?”
Indeed.
That was what Selena wanted to hear.
She looked at Zachary, smiled, and waved at him.
‘You can go first! I’ll see you next time.”
Zachary glanced at Eric meaningfully and left without saying anything.
Eric narrowed his eyes.
How could he not sense Zachary’s hostility toward him?
How childish.
Eric’s car arrived, and the driver got out to open the door for them.
Eric bent down and went in, waiting for Selena.
Thus, Selena followed him.
The car was much warmer than the outside. There was also a nice sandalwood fragrance from Eric’s
body.
Selena thought, ‘This is the smell of money.’
The ceiling above her was dotted with stars.
Selena clicked her tongue and could not help but look at Eric.
Eric felt a little uncomfortable after drinking two glasses of wine, so he rubbed his temples.
When he heard this, he thought that she was restless.
“Why are you clicking your tongue?”
Selena replied, “I can click my tongue whenever I want!”
Eric took a deep breath and tried not to get angry.
“I guess you’re not that worried about your bar. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have time to eat out with
another man.”
Selena paused and shrugged.
“Isn’t there a saying, if I lose money, I’ll gain love? Since my career is hindered, my love life is
blossoming!”
Eric’s face sank slightly. He glanced at her with gloomy eyes.
“Hah! Love, huh? How old are you that you still believe in this nonsense?”
“I’ll believe in love no matter how old I get! I also believe that some love can’t be obtained!”
Eric knew that she was mocking him about losing Nicole.
His face turned glum, as if she had touched a taboo subject and poked at his sore spot. He could not
even maintain his superficial calmness.
“I guess you’re really not worried at all. In that case, you can just figure out what to do about the bar
yourself!”
