The Divorced Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 2493 Can’t Keep Up With the Praise

Eric was so angry that he could not speak. He did not want to quarrel with Selena because of this matter, so he

threw the blanket back to its original place and took out his phone to send a message. Then, he sat down to eat.

Selena was sitting next to him, so how could Eric sit down and eat in peace?

Selena's feet were roaming around and rubbing against Eric’s legs. Thus, Eric was irritable during the meal.

However, he could not lose his temper.

That was because he knew that he went too far last night. Since he felt guilty, he became more tolerant of Selena.

Selena ate a vegetable salad and looked to be in a good mood. She did not feel uncomfortable at all.

Eric also looked gentler.

Soon, a car entered the driveway.

Mitchell and the driver came in with several bags of branded clothes.

When Mitchell saw Selena, he raised his eyebrows slightly.

He knew that something happened between them when Eric asked him to bring ladies' clothes over. This was his job

as Eric's assistant.

"Ms. Nelson, try this dress to see if you like it. If you don't like it, we won't cooperate with this brand in the future.

We'll work with someone else!”

Selena greeted Mitchell happily and said with a smile, "I don't have to try it. I trust your tastes.”

Mitchell smiled and asked the servants to take everything upstairs.

Selena almost finished eating, so she went upstairs to change her clothes.

At least Eric was thoughtful enough to get people to send some clothes over. i

Otherwise, it would be somewhat indecent for her to go out wearing his shirt.

Of course, Selena did not care about what others thought about her. However, she was afraid that it would affect

the business of her bar.

As a result, almost no one in the living room paid any attention to Eric. His face was dark and glum.

Selena was not a picky person. She chose a simple and elegant beige dress to change into and went downstairs

quickly.

"Isn't it nice?"

Selena walked around the living room and looked at Eric and Mitchell.

Eric paused and was about to speak when Mitchell complimented Selena.

"Oh my goodness! Did a goddess come down to earth?" 2

Selena covered her mouth in embarrassment and chuckled lightly.

Eric was speechless as he thought, 'I made a mistake... I shouldn't have let Mitchell come over.’ 1

Eric looked at the two people, put down the things in his hands, and coughed lightly.

'That’s enough. It's time to go back to the office."

Mitchell quickly put away his smile and put on a serious expression.

"Yes, sir."

Selena quickly caught up to them.

"Hey, take me back to the bar!"

Eric glanced at her with complicated eyes and pursed his lips.

"You should stay here and rest. Why do you want to go back to the bar?"

There was no business in the bar during the day, so it was pointless to go back.

Moreover, Selena was exhausted from last night, and her leg injury was not healed, so she could not walk around.

Selena raised her head with a puzzled look on her face.

"I'm going back to rest, of course! I'm very busy in the bar. It can't operate without me!"

Eric was speechless. He could obviously hear her exaggeration, but he did not say much.

Selena was probably not used to this unfamiliar environment.

"Fine. Let's go."

Eric would pick her up when he got off work in the afternoon.

Selena quickly followed.

After walking a few steps, she suddenly bumped into Eric’s hard back.

Selena clicked her tongue and covered her forehead.

Eric suddenly turned around and looked at her legs.

"Do you want me to carry you?"

He almost forgot that she had trouble walking, so he kindly asked her if she needed help.

Selena hurriedly took a few steps back.

"No need. I'm much better now. I can walk without problems."

Eric nodded thoughtfully.

Mitchell watched this scene from the side and suddenly felt that they were so sweet.

Everyone got into the car. Selena sat next to Eric.

Before the car started, Eric held Selena’s hand naturally.

It was as if it was his instincts.

The driver in front and Mitchell were tactful enough not to look back.

One of them drove carefully while the other handled some company emails on his phone.

No one noticed the small movements behind.

Selena glanced at Eric sideways and flashed a bright smile.

However, Selena was thinking that if she had not gone to the study and seen that photo, she might have really been

infatuated with Eric because of his series of actions.

In their current state, one of them was pretending to be intimate while the other was pretending to be happy.

Both of them were terrific actors.

Selena enjoyed being immersed in this relationship with her reason intact.

This gave her the illusion of being loved, but she was rational enough that she could withdraw from this at any time.

1

Selena did not want anything from Eric, so she was relaxed.

Thinking of this, Selena moved a little closer to Eric. She took his arm and leaned her head gently on his shoulder.

With her gentle and soft breath beside him faintly resounding in his ears, Eric felt like someone brushed a feather

over his heart without leaving any traces. However, he could feel it deeply.

The man was a little tense and stiff at first, but he soon relaxed and gently caressed her fingers. His heart and mind

were a mess.

Eric did not think about anything along the way. In a blink of an eye, they arrived at the entrance of the bar.

It was so fast!

The softness next to him vanished in an instant as Selena quickly got out of the car. She looked down at them,

smiled, and waved.

"Goodbye!"

Before Eric nodded, Mitchell waved.

"Goodbye, Ms. Nelson."

Then, the driver started the car.

Eric did not even get the chance to speak.

He took a deep breath and thought that he had never seen his driver this enthusiastic.

Eric intended to raise the driver's salary because he was sensible last night, but now, Eric completely gave up on

this idea.

When the car drove away, Mitchell looked back at Eric.

"Mr. Ferguson, why didn't you say goodbye to Ms. Nelson just now?"

Mitchell thought, 'Shouldn't they be inseparable now?’

Eric glanced at him coldly.

"You already said everything, so do I need to say more?"

Mitchell touched his nose and wondered if he made any mistake earlier.

What did he say?

He had only politely bid farewell to Selena!

Mitchell pursed his lips and changed the subject.

"By the way, there was a small earthquake in the west mountains last night. A group of people was trapped, but

their lives were not in danger. I heard that Zachary Salvatore rescued them quickly and led them away from the

danger zone. Now, everyone online is praising him for his bravery. He has now become a national hero." 2

Mitchell consciously followed the latest updates of Eric’s love rival. 1

He thought Eric would react, but Eric only smiled lightly after he heard this.

"As it should be. Zachary Salvatore is righteous and brave. He deserves all the glory."

The glory belonged to Zachary, but Selena belonged to him.

That was right.

Eric smiled. "I’m really happy for him from the bottom of my heart. How about this? To publicize his heroic deeds,

we should buy him a few more days of headlines so that everyone knows about it."

Mitchell paused and asked hesitantly, "Mr. Ferguson, are you being sarcastic?"

"You can take it literally."

'Yes, sir."
