Chapter 2537 Check His Phone
The bar was pretty quiet during the day.
Since it was already evening, everyone was getting ready for business.
As soon as Eric entered, someone saw him.
“Where’s your boss?”
Eric asked.
The waiter pointed upstairs, and Eric nodded.
Selena was resting in her room, preparing for the overtime work at night.
She did not expect Eric to come over quietly.
However, she did not have much of a reaction. She just glanced at him and lay back down.
“Why are you so free to come over?”
Her voice was still a little languid.
Eric walked over, took off his coat, and hugged Selena from behind through the quilt.
At that moment, his originally empty heart was filled in an instant.
Eric closed his eyes. He was familiar with her body and her scent.
That feeling made him feel more nostalgic that he got to be with her again.
Selena sensed something was wrong with Eric, but she did not bother to pursue it.
She felt that it was better not to know him too well.
The greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment.
Eric was silent for a few minutes before he recovered from that sense of loss.
“Selena, today I…”
Eric wanted to talk to her about what happened earlier.
Selena must be worried for him.
She had always been a soft-hearted person.
She might even praise him for being smart because he predicted what would happen.
As a result, Selena interrupted him before he could finish speaking.
“Eric, I’ve been busy all day today and didn’t get to sleep well. I have to get up later and continue to work. Can you stop talking? We can talk about it later if you have something important to tell me.”
Selena was so sleepy that she could hardly keep her eyes open.
Her mumbled words made Eric stiffen.
He swallowed all his words.
Eric loosened his grip on her waist for fear of disturbing her.
“Okay, I won’t talk anymore. Go to sleep.”
He stroked her head, then lay beside her with his clothes on and kept quiet.
After a while, Selena keenly heard the sound of the drums downstairs and opened her eyes.
The sound insulation upstairs was good, but Selena was so used to the environment that she would notice even the slightest sounds.
When she got up, she saw that Eric was lying beside her, sound asleep.
His brows were sharp and cold, and he looked so handsome. He did not seem so cold and oppressive when he was asleep, but he was still good-looking.
Selena stared at him blankly for a few seconds. Suddenly, Eric’s phone lit up. There was an incoming message.
Fortunately, his phone was muted, so there was no sound.
Selena did not mean to look at it, but her phone was also placed next to his.
When she took her phone, she glanced at Eric’s phone unexpectedly and saw the message.
It was a message from Taylor Caldwell.
[I heard that you got in an accident today. My father asked me to check on you on his behalf. If you need any help, we will try our best to assist you.]
The short and concise message distracted Selena.
Eric looked like he did not want to share his number with Taylor when they were at the hotel entrance. However, he already added her on WhatsApp behind her back.
That day, Eric explained to Selena that the scandal between him and Taylor was just a public relations gimmick.
However, the public relations department only came up with this plan because Eric and Taylor were well-matched for each other.
Eric was in an accident today…
Selena thought about it for a while and recalled that Eric wanted to tell her something, but she interrupted him.
It turned out that he was in an accident.
If Eric was in danger, Taylor and CK Corporation could go all out to assist him.
What about Selena?
Selena was not even in the mood to listen to him.
She suddenly felt that their relationship was meaningless.
Somehow, Selena picked up his phone. She knew his password.
She knew she should not do this, that it was a petty and despicable act to peek at other people’s privacy.
However, she just wanted to find a reason to make herself give up on Eric.
The moment she unlocked Eric’s phone and clicked on WhatsApp, Taylor’s name came into view.
The man on the bed suddenly sneered.
“Is it interesting to read?”
His voice was clear, hoarse, and somewhat cold.
Selena was startled. She dropped the phone on the spot, which clattered on the table.
In fact, Selena did not get to see anything clearly.
She just felt guilty for being caught.
Eric put one hand behind his head. His posture was languid, and his eyes were probing and indifferent. He squinted his eyes slightly and glanced at her coldly.
“Selena, when did you start doing this kind of thing?”
This kind of roguish, impetuous, and suspicious thing that only insecure women would do.
Selena’s heart clenched. She pursed her lips and knew she was in the wrong, so she did not refute.
“I’m sorry.”
Selena had nothing else to say but sorry.
She was not Eric’s wife, so she had no right to check his phone.
Such a relationship was too shameful.
Eric looked at her quietly for a few seconds before he slowly picked up his phone.
After unlocking it, he took a look. His eyes flickered slightly.
Finally, he clicked on his chat with Taylor and handed his phone to Selena.
“Here. Didn’t you want to see what I was talking about with her? I added her on WhatsApp a few days ago because of business. We don’t talk much.”
The only sentence in their chat was what Selena saw just now.
Eric and Taylor had not spoken to each other before.
Had they not spoken, or did he delete the messages?
Selena would not question Eric’s character.
She was forced to read his messages, so her expression was glum, and she could hear the displeasure in Eric’s voice.
Eric was a little cold, but it was enough for Selena to notice it.
“That’s enough. I don’t want to read it anymore. I won’t read your messages in the future.”
Selena took a deep breath and said calmly, “I wasn’t in my right mind just now and did something stupid. I apologize for that.”
She could accept his displeasure.
She admitted that she was wrong.
To Eric, Selena had overstepped her bounds.
She was overconfident and failed to recognize her own identity. This thought made Selena feel ashamed.
Eric took a deep look at her.
There were complex and deep emotions in his eyes.
Some emotions were indescribable. He was indifferent, and he quickly covered it up.
“Selena, I don’t blame you for looking at my phone behind my back. It’s just that there is a lot of confidential information on my phone that cannot be shared. You’re aware of how many public figures get their reputations ruined online because of their partner’s carelessness. Although I won’t be ruined, the image of my company is still very important. Don’t you think so?”
His voice is warm, soft, and gentle.
Eric wanted to talk to Selena about this matter.
He did not want her to be suspicious like other women. It would make the two of them very tired.
Eric wanted their relationship to be pure and clean rather than mixing too many other factors.
He could declare her identity to the public, but he would not marry her, especially at this time.
