Chapter 2512 Whose Bag Is It?
Selena kept promoting her bar, and everyone nodded repeatedly.
Finally, Selena quietly went to tell Harvey, “If you come, I’ll give you a 50% discount!”
Harvey was polite and asked for her business card. “I must go some time, then.”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
None of them noticed the commotion at the door.
Unexpectedly, Eric came.
Thus, there was a big commotion.
The organizer and crew went up to greet Eric.
Julie was on the phone with Kai at that moment. She inadvertently glanced at Eric and finally looked at Selena meaningfully before she turned away.
She smiled and continued to speak with her head down.
“Alright, I’ll go home when the event is over. There’s about to be some drama, so I have to go!”
As soon as Eric came in, his gaze fell on the two people who were still talking.
His eyes seemed to be frozen.
Harvey spotted Eric while he was talking to Selena. He was hesitating about whether to go over to say hello when he suddenly remembered that Selena was involved in a scandal with Eric just a while ago.
Suddenly, Harvey’s mind was in a mess.
“Why did Mr. Ferguson show up here all of a sudden? Is he here to look for someone?”
Selena’s smile faded. “How would I know?”
She looked away as if she did not know Eric.
Selena was not surprised that Eric would show up at a movie premiere. However, since they were now the subject of rumors, they would not be able to explain themselves if they were photographed by the media outside again.
She tried to find a reason to leave first, but Eric walked over to them.
Harvey greeted Eric with a smile, and Eric nodded back.
Eric’s attention was obviously not on Harvey.
Eric looked straight at Selena, and his lips were pursed tightly.
Harvey could tell there was something between the two of them, so he was sensible enough to find a reason to leave.
Selena stood there and glanced at Eric.
“What are you doing here?”
“Can’t I come?”
“Don’t talk to me. Otherwise, people will think we know each other!”
Selena said in a low voice.
She was thinking of him.
If they were in another scandal, her explanation last time would just be a joke.
Eric glanced at her speechlessly, looked around, and noticed that everyone was looking at them.
Everyone already knew that Selena and Eric were acquainted.
Selena was just deceiving herself.
“What were you two talking about just now?”
Eric was straightforward.
“You looked so happy.”
Selena pursed her lips. “Of course, I am! I invited my idol to visit my bar.”
“Your idol?”
Eric gritted his teeth and chewed on these two words.
He inexplicably felt a burst of jealousy.
Selena raised her eyebrows and felt that she should not talk to Eric for so long in public. Thus, she went over to Julie while Eric was still in a daze.
“I just remembered that I have something to do. I’ll head home first, okay?”
Julie knew that Selena was looking for an excuse to leave, so she nodded.
“Sure! This premiere was a success. If you want to come to another event like this again, please let me know.”
Selena glanced at Julie gratefully, straightened her dress, and walked out calmly.
Fortunately, Eric did not chase after her.
Selena walked through the back door and left in a hurry, so almost no one saw her.
However, when Eric noticed that Selena had left, he was already surrounded by people.
The directors definitely would not let go of such a generous investor.
Everyone took turns to toast, and Eric toasted everyone with a glass of wine, but in the end, he did not drink a sip of his drink.
Julie knew that the banquet would not be over for a while. She saw that Selena had left her bag behind, so she smiled and walked over to rescue Eric.
“I have a project that I’d like to discuss with Mr. Ferguson in private. Mr. Ferguson, shall we?”
Eric heaved a sigh of relief and followed her.
Julie handed him the bag.
“Ms. Nelson left this behind. Will you please take it back for her?”
Eric recognized the bag, squinted his eyes, and took it over.
He did not know what to say for a moment.
Eric did not mind making his relationship with Selena public, but it was just troublesome.
However, Julie was aware of what happened between him and Nicole back then.
Thus, Eric felt awkward now that he was in a relationship with another woman. He felt a bit like a scumbag.
He could forget about his true love so soon.
Back then, he even said that he would love Nicole all his life.
Even Eric thought that he was absurd.
However, he was sure that a small part of his heart would always be with Nicole.
Eric kept silent. Before he had time to say anything, Julie turned around and left.
He did not stay any longer and walked out with the bag.
Selena could never change her habit of losing and forgetting things.
Eric did not go out through the back door. He thought that the media had already left, so he went out through the front door.
The media, who thought they would return with nothing tonight, captured this scene just as they were about to pack up and leave.
Eric looked worn out. He was exuding a cold vibe, but he was holding a woman’s bag.
When has he ever taken a bag for a woman?
Never!
Of course, everyone would not let go of this good opportunity and went up to Eric.
“Mr. Ferguson, did you also attend the premiere? What do you think of this movie?”
“Mr. Ferguson, who does the bag belong to?”
“Mr. Ferguson…”
……
Eric frowned in annoyance and walked out with a glum face.
Although he did not have a good attitude, the media could not do anything about him.
Eric was not from the entertainment industry, so he would never be canceled.
It was not until Eric got to his car that his surroundings became quiet.
Eric threw the bag on the seat.
“Go to the office.”
Suddenly, he saw a text message on his phone.
[Mr. Ferguson, Julie told me that you helped to take my bag. Thank you!]
Eric replied. [I don’t talk to idiots.]
[F*ck off!]
The two of them quarreled, but the awkwardness in Eric’s heart disappeared.
Eric let out a low laugh and touched his forehead.
He was so impulsive today that he came here as soon as he got off the plane.
He did things that should not be done.
Eric carrying a woman’s bag at the premiere made it onto the hot topics.
However, Ferguson Corporation sent out a response to this.
“This is the president’s personal affairs, so we will not comment on it. Please stop paying attention to this matter. Thank you.”
It was obvious that Eric was not as careful and prudent as the actors in showbiz.
When the car arrived at the entrance, Mitchell called.
“Mr. Ferguson, why don’t you come to the office first? The Yeagers…”
“Why? Did the Yeagers come again?”
During this time, apart from Cindy, other members of the Yeager family also came to Ferguson Corporation one after another. They pleaded for mercy, acted miserable, and spoke harshly.
To no one’s surprise, they were all kicked out.
“Mr. Ferguson, Larry Yeager was carried to the first floor of our company. He’s making a fuss and refuses to leave. Now, he has gathered a lot of reporters as well.”
Larry was such a scoundrel.
The bankruptcy could have been resolved within half a month, but Larry dragged it on because he thought he had a chance of survival.
