Chapter 2531 Fruits Are Expensive
Chaz said, “Fruits are very expensive now.”
If Eric was a scumbag, Chaz did not even want to give Eric a fruit platter.
Selena was speechless.
Eric went into the private room. No one followed him over for a long time.
He sat there, and his face turned darker as time passed.
When he heard what Selena said, Eric kept silent and then reflected on himself.
Did he do something wrong?
Everyone was speculating about his relationship with Taylor, but he did not respond.
Did Selena really trust him?
Or did she not care about him?
Eric’s mind was a mess from the time he came to the bar until now.
It was like a tangled ball of threads.
Eric felt anxious.
Why was Selena still not here?
Eric dialed Selena’s number, but no one answered.
The next second, someone knocked on the door and came in.
Chaz held a fruit platter and wine while he smiled perfunctorily.
“My boss asked me to send these up. Mr. Ferguson, you can tell me if you need anything.”
“Where is she? Ask her to come up.”
Eric suppressed the restlessness in his heart.
The anxiety he felt came rushing back.
Eric could not calm down.
He was desperate to see Selena to know what she thought about the matter.
Did she really think that Eric and Taylor were a good match, that they would get married?
Did she really think Eric and Taylor were already married?
How could he be such a person?
How could Selena calmly say that Eric was a good match for another woman?
Chaz smiled faintly and declined.
“Sorry, Mr. Ferguson. My boss is very busy. You can tell me if you have other requests.”
Eric’s eyes darkened. He looked at Chaz coldly.
“What did you say? Did she ask you to say this?”
Chaz took a breath and calmly met Eric’s gaze.
“I said it myself, Mr. Ferguson. I supported my boss to be in a relationship with you back then because I thought you would protect her and take care of her. But it seems that I was too naive. If you’re not serious about her, please don’t hurt her like this.”
Chaz really mustered up all his courage to say this.
After all, it was not easy to say these words in front of Eric.
Chaz would have to bear so much pressure to say this!
Eric’s face became tense, and he kept quiet.
……
Selena really thought that Eric had clients or friends coming, so she did not go up to see him.
Since there were a lot of people at the bar, she helped out and greeted some of her friends.
She forgot everything when she got busy.
Selena sipped on a glass of pomegranate juice slowly.
One of the people behind saw that she looked familiar and walked over to say hello.
“Sis?”
Selena was startled.
At first glance, Selena thought that the man was a stranger. He looked frivolous and mature, but his smile was very friendly.
“We’ve met before at Chance’s birthday party. I’m Keith Ludwig!”
Keith smiled. He did not expect this bar to be Selena’s.
“What a coincidence! I came here with my friends.”
Selena nodded and did not pay attention to the way he addressed her.
“Are you here to find Mr. Ferguson? He’s upstairs at Room 288.”
“Ferg is here?”
Keith was a little shocked and could not help but laugh.
“He has been shying away from hanging out with us recently and keeps saying that he’s busy. I guess he just wants to spend time with you. We’ll go up to him, so we don’t need another room.”
Selena smiled and nodded.
As soon as Keith turned around, he paused.
“By the way, a lot of Eric’s friends are here. Sis, do you want to go up and say hello?”
Selena took a deep breath and maintained her superficial calm and smile.
“Mr. Ludwig, Mr. Ferguson and I aren’t in the kind of relationship that you think, so don’t call me sis. There are too many people here, so you should watch what you say.”
Keith stood there in shock. His face turned red before it paled.
He did not expect it to be mistaken.
Was Eric not with Selena?
Keith’s mouth twitched in embarrassment.
“Okay. I’m sorry, Ms. Nelson. Just forget what I said. I’ll go up first.”
Keith left in a hurry and called his friends to go upstairs.
Selena glanced at him, then turned around and continued to work on her things.
She did not take this episode seriously.
With lingering fear in his heart, Keith led his friends upstairs.
He had a lot of questions.
Many of the people who came today were old friends, and Eric also knew them.
Thus, there was no need to get another private room.
Keith pushed the door open and went in.
He thought that Eric would not be alone and that Eric would at least talk to someone about business.
As a result, Keith found Eric completely alone in the private room.
Eric looked so lonely.
Eric raised his head and watched as a group of people came in.
His face darkened.
He seemed a little upset.
Keith pretended not to notice it and asked everyone to sit down. Then, he called the waiter to order.
He sat next to Eric and said nonchalantly, “Ferg, I asked you out for a get-together, but you kept shirking it off saying that you’re busy. What? Are you in the mood to come out for a drink now that the stock price of Ferguson Corporation is soaring today? But I don’t think you’re having fun drinking now. Are you alone?”
Eric’s face was gloomy. The corners of his lips were drawn into a straight line.
He was upset and did not want to talk.
However, with so many people present, it would be awkward if he kept silent.
The person he wanted to see did not come. Instead, many of those he did not want to see came over.
Eric glanced at Keith lightly and had a weird expression.
“Order whatever you want. Why are you guys here?”
Keith smiled and sat there.
“I followed your tips in investment and made a lot of money, so we came out to celebrate.”
Eric was stunned.
He felt inexplicably upset at the mention of the stock price.
That was because he felt it was better not to earn this money.
Chaz led a waiter to serve them wine. He looked polite and at ease.
However, Eric ignored him.
Eric obviously did not care about Chaz.
Everyone got up to toast with Eric, but Eric was not in the mood, so he just twirled his glass of wine and did not take a sip.
Fortunately, everyone’s attention was quickly diverted by other things.
Keith nudged Eric and looked at him sideways.
“What’s going on? Something feels off.”
“What?”
“I said, something about you feels off. What happened to you and Ms. Nelson? I thought you two were together the last time we played golf. But just now, when I called her ‘sis’, she didn’t care about me and acted like she’s not familiar with you. If it wasn’t her, who was it that called you that day? Was it Taylor? But… Did you know Taylor back then?”
Keith speculated on his own.
He did not even notice that Eric’s face had darkened.
Eric’s whole body was shrouded in cold air.
Bang!
Eric slammed the cup on the table.
Others did not pay attention, but Keith was taken aback.
Eric immediately stood up and walked out without saying anything.
