Chapter 2416 Attitude Reversal
“A-Are you talking to me?” Gerard asked as he carefully looked at Eric’s face.
Gerard was confused.
Eric clearly wanted to warn him with a cold face just now, so why did Eric suddenly change his attitude? It was so strange.
“Excuse me. Sorry to disturb you. Are you Mr. Ferguson’s friend?”
Avery gentle and pleasant voice came from behind Gerard, so he subconsciously turned his head.
Gerard saw a woman wearing a slightly exaggerated red dress.
Since Selena got divorced, she completely let loose. She no longer liked plain things.
Even the colors of her wardrobe were bolder and more exaggerated.
Obviously, such clothes were only worn by old ladies when they had dance lessons.
Selena was wearing a rainbow-colored dress with a belt around her waist.
However, she looked nice in it.
Selena looked lively, aloof, mature, adventurous, charming, and innocent, all at the same time.She did not have the prettiest face, but her facial features were delicate, and her skin was supple. Her eyes were clear and shrewd, and her voice was gentle and soft. It was tough to determine her character.
Gerard paused and looked dumbfounded.He was not used to staring at others so impolitely.
Eric’s cold eyes almost bore a hole through Gerard. In the end, Eric kicked him in the leg. i
The moment Gerard screamed, Eric retracted his leg, stood up, and looked back at Selena.
“It’s me.”
Gerard was stunned by Eric’s brief sentence.
Eric’s tone sounded as if it was an honor that he decided to patronize the bar tonight.It made Eric seem annoying.
Selena, who was at the back, took a step forward in surprise.
She offered the wine Eric requested with both hands and said in feigned excitement.
“Mr. Ferguson, it really is you! I was just wondering why the bar seems so bright today. Why didn’t you go upstairs? It’s not at all like you to show your face down here!”
Selena was sarcastic and flattering at the same time, which made Gerard want to laugh.
However, Gerard stifled his laugh when he saw Eric’s solemn face.
Selena did not seem to notice anything. Sne walked over and said hello to Gerard.
“My name is Selena Nelson. I’m the owner of the bar. You can call me if you need anything, but no discounts!”
Gerard smiled and stretched out his hand.
“I’m Gerard Lichman. Nice to meet you.”
Selena raised her eyebrows when she saw the wedding ring on his hand and nodded with a smile.
Eric’s expression was a little gloomy.
“Are you done here? We came here to talk business!”
Selena smiled speechlessly. However, she did not show her anger.
“Okay. I just came to ask if you needed a private room. It happens to be empty.”
“No need.”
Eric sat there impatiently.
Selena pursed her lips. “Help yourselves then.”
She smiled and waved to Gerard, then walked toward the bar.
Eric glanced at her arrogantly, then snorted lightly.
“She’s dressed like a giant rooster…”
Gerard burst out laughing.
“Ferg, you don’t need to insult her. You were obviously very happy to see her just now!”
“When was I ever happy?”
Eric’s tone was deep.He did not admit it.
Gerard was speechless.He could clearly feel that something was wrong with Eric at that moment.However, Selena and Eric did not seem that close or familiar with each other.Was Gerard wrong?
Gerard and Eric got down to business and talked about the situation abroad.
Suddenly, there was a cheer from behind, which attracted everyone’s attention.
Eric and Gerard subconsciously turned their heads and looked in the direction of the stage.
The “giant rooster” just now, walked on the stage gracefully with a cello, which was unexpected.
Everyone seemed surprised by the instrument Selena chose today, and the crowd whistled on in excitement.
Selena sat on the stage. She did not mind that the chair was slightly too high and casually started to play the cello.She played Bach’s Cello Suite 1 terribly.
Gerard’s expectations instantly plummeted.He anticipated a turning point.
However, it did not happen.
In the end, Selena stood up happily, and the applause was even more enthusiastic than before.
Everyone was completely immersed in the messy and out-of tune piece just now as if that kind of melody suited their appetite.Just as Selena was about to come down from the stage, the crowd shouted.
“Encore…”
“One more!”
For a while, everyone was incredibly enthusiastic.
Selena smiled helplessly and had no choice but to sit back. She stretched out her finger and said, “This will be the last one because I’ve only learned two pieces so far!”
Everyone roared with laughter.
Eric watched quietly from the side. The excitement over there seemed to have nothing to do with him.
Subsequently, the crowd gradually fell silent.
When everyone sat there in suspense and complete silence, the cello sounded again.
Only this time, Gerard’s expression gradually changed from contempt to admiration.
The tune that Selena was playing turned out to be” Bohemian Rhapsody”. Just listening to that tune made Gerard feel like singing from the heart.
Someone in the crowd started to hum along.
Gradually, more and more people sang along.
In the last chorus, everyone started to sing together.
Eric looked at the person surrounded by the crowd with a deep gaze.
Selena did not treat the musical instrument with any sanctity. It was as if she simply played a tune, and she did not care whether she was wrong or not.
She had a carefree smile, and her eyes were curved and radiant.
At this moment, everything around him turned silent, and Eric could only hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
His eyes were distant and longing, as if he saw someone else.
After the song was over, the drummer came up on stage and did a solo. The bar was lively.
It went very smoothly.
Everyone started to dance on the stage.
When Selena came down from the stage, someone handed her some flowers.
She took it with a smile, hugged the man, and drank with him.
Eric’s gaze was icy.
The waiter went over to deliver a fruit platter, which disturbed Eric’s thoughts.
Gerard did not miss this good opportunity and said, “Your boss is really talented. I was really shocked just now. She’s beautiful and can play the cello. I bet she has many admirers, huh?”
Eric’s face was cold as he glared at Gerard.
The waiter smiled. “Yeah! Although my boss used to be… Forget it. I won’t mention the past. Now, she has a lot of admirers!”
