Chapter 2497 Omnipotent Boss
Eric scanned the bar and did not see Selena. His face was a little solemn.
Chaz came down from the private room with a waiter, saw the man standing at the door, and immediately beamed with joy.
“You can get to work first!” Chaz turned his head and said to the waiter.
Then, he happily went to Eric.
“Mr. Ferguson, what a rare guest! You haven’t been here for a long time!”
Eric glanced at him and frowned slightly.
“Do you have a bad memory? Didn’t I just come here yesterday?”
Chaz raised his eyebrows. “I meant you haven’t come here to drink in a while. Are you alone or with friends? Should I get a private room for you?”
Eric paused. “No. I’ll just sit around here.”
Chaz smiled, touched his nose, and coughed.
“Okay. Do you want to sit at the front? Shall I get you a drink?”
Eric followed and walked to a seat not far from the bar.
Chaz handed over the drink list. “What would you like to drink?”
“Whatever.”
Chaz smiled. “You haven’t been here for a while, so you might not be aware that we have a new regulation here. If you order a house brew, our boss will make the drink by herself. You can’t choose,
and it depends on the boss’s mood for the day. A lot of people like this!”
Eric frowned slightly.
“She knows how to make drinks?”
Chaz said seriously, “Of course! My boss knows everything!”
Chaz glanced at Eric speechlessly and thought, ‘Mr. Ferguson can grasp the point!’
Was the focus on whether Selena could make drinks?
The focus should be that Selena would make the drinks by herself!
Eric glanced at the price, and his eyebrows raised slightly.
The price was not cheap.
One glass was worth $20,000.
Selena was planning to fool rich people.
Eric suddenly laughed.
Chaz was even more puzzled and looked at him with disbelief.
In the end, Eric closed the menu and said in a low voice, “Sure. Ask her to come and make me a drink!”
Eric was not short of this money.
Chaz immediately watched as Eric scanned the payment QR code. He had a happy smile as he walked out of the bar.
“Wait a minute. I’ll call her!”
“Where is she?”
Eric frowned. Was she too busy all day? Was that why she did not call him?
Chaz paused. “She’s upstairs. She ate a little too much in the afternoon, so she’s doing yoga to aid digestion!”
Eric was speechless.
Chaz paid no attention to Eric’s expression and ran upstairs happily.
Selena slept too much during the day, so she was not at all sleepy.
She was tired after practicing yoga, so she sat on the ground and watched TV.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Selena was still a little displeased from being disturbed.
“Didn’t I tell you not to call me if there’s nothing important?”
Chaz smiled. “Someone ordered the house brew, so you have to go downstairs and make it in person!”
Selena looked back at him in shock.
“Who’s so stupid to order that? Someone actually ordered a drink for $20,000?!”
Selena was initially unhappy when Chaz came up with this idea because she had to do the work.
Thus, Selena deliberately increased the price to something outrageous, thinking that no one would order it.
She did not expect someone to be so weird to buy it.
Chaz touched his chin.
“Why would you go against money?”
Selena stood up immediately and clapped her hands righteously.
“Of course not! Money is my king!”
As she spoke, she brushed her hair and excitedly went to greet her “king”.
Chaz followed with a smile.
Selena was great at this. She would never go against money for the sake of dignity. Thus, no matter what ideas they came up with, Selena would try her best to cooperate.
She even learned how to mix drinks.
Due to the short segment of the film that Selena participated in, she became popular, and many people came here to admire her.
Selena gradually became overwhelmed and ran upstairs to hide.
However, the business was indeed getting better. She admitted that she gained popularity online, so she gave discounts as much as possible and sometimes gave out free drinks.
Selena went downstairs while humming a tune. She greeted some passers-by until she got near the bar. That was when she saw the man sitting there. It turned out it was Eric.
Chaz followed, smiled, and approached her.
“Look, Mr. Ferguson really likes you. He didn’t hesitate to spend so much money just to see you. It’s hard to find such a rich fool!”
Selena rolled her eyes at Chaz speechlessly.
Did Chaz only care about money?
Selena was not avoiding Eric. After all, she was not someone who would ditch someone after sleeping with them.
The two of them had a passionate night last night. Eric did his best and took care of her feelings. He did not traumatize her in any way.
Selena thought that they were in a purely physical relationship, so there was no need to catch feelings.
Eric was in love with someone else, so he was still hung up on her. That way, no one would lose anything.
If they maintained superficial politeness, everyone would be happy.
It was impossible to act like nothing happened, but they did not have to make things so clear between them.
Selena thought about it for a while. She walked over, sat opposite Eric, and looked at him with a smile.
“Mr. Ferguson, I’m surprised you have time out of your busy schedule to come here for a drink!”
Eric was still thinking about the company’s affairs, but Selena’s sudden appearance interrupted his thoughts.
Looking at her gentle and sly smile, Eric felt like a lot of his troubles dissipated.
His heart felt like it had been doused by light spring rain, so every pore of him felt moisturized.
Eric’s face was gentle as he said, “I’ve already paid, so let me taste how good this drink is.”
“No problem!”
Selena smiled. She preferred talking about business.
She lifted her foot and went to the bar to prepare the drink.
Eric also followed. He sat there and watched her silently so as not to disturb her.
Selena’s movements were methodical and quite professional. She poured pomegranate juice at the bottom, and when Eric wasn’t paying attention, she put a few drops of lemon sour into it.
She placed a gorgeous strawberry at the bottom of the glass, which looked like red-hot lava, and gently shook it. The layers were separated.
From a distance, it looked like a sweet cocktail.
It was not Eric’s preferred type of drink.
Then, she placed the drink in front of Eric. Before Eric picked it up, a young man who was paying attention to the bar, came over.
“Selena, what kind of drink is this? Can you make me one too?”
Selena glanced at him. He was young and had delicate features. He looked like he had just come of age — childish, youthful, and cute.
She raised her eyebrows.
“Can you drink?”
The young man sat there, dissatisfied. “Of course! I’ll drink whatever you give me.”
Selena did not suspect that he was underage. After all, Chaz would check the IDs of young men like him.
Fortunately, there was still half a glass of cocktail in the canister. Thus, she simply poured it into another glass and handed it over to the guy.
Eric snorted lightly and swirled the glass in front of him.
“It’s $20,000 a glass. Did he pay for it?”
