Selena had just finished swiping her card.
Eric frowned and looked at her.
“You paid?”
Selena nodded. “Yeah. Isn’t it my treat? I’m not that shameless.”
Of course, Selena believed that even if she did not take the initiative to pay, Eric would pay.
However, she did not want to owe him more. It was just a meal, and she could afford it.
Eric glanced at the waiter with a glum expression.
“I said I’d pay later...”
Eric felt embarrassed.
The waiter stood there awkwardly.
“The lady insisted...”
“Alright, don’t get angry over such a trivial matter. Mr. Ferguson, it’s fine that Ms. Nelson wants to express her gratitude.”
Cindy smiled to the side. Her eyes flickered, and she subconsciously sized up Selena.
Seeing that Selena’s face was pale and her clothes were quite ordinary, Cindy felt more confident and arrogant.
Selena could not compare to Cindy.
With the way Selena dressed, she would not be able to enter this restaurant without Eric.
So what if Selena paid?
It was just for her ridiculous self-esteem.
Selena should not have come here if she could not afford it.
On the surface, Cindy looked generous and capable.
“Ms. Nelson, do you mind if I join your meal? I made an appointment before, but the restaurant manager canceled it at the last minute. I was really disappointed, so I wanted to come and see who canceled it. But seeing that it’s Mr. Ferguson and his guests, I’m reconciled. I shouldn’t bother you all.”
Eric’s expression was calm, and he did not react too much.
“Ms. Yeager, you’re too polite. You can come whenever you want.”
These words sounded like Cindy had some kind of special privilege over others.
Cindy could go wherever Eric went.
Selena could discern what Eric implied.
Back in the hospital when Selena was discussing Chance’s condition with the doctor, Cindy came over to criticize her.
Cindy did not swear at Selena, but her words were harsh.
Cindy had a sense of superiority that was evident in those in power.
Selena never had a good impression of this kind of person.
She acted as if nothing happened when she met Cindy again.
Selena did not want to play along with Cindy.
Selena raised her eyebrows and stood there silently.
Cindy smiled meaningfully and deliberately provoked her.
“Ms. Nelson, you don’t seem to welcome me, huh?”
Selena blinked. When she smiled, she was a bit reluctant to admit defeat.
“Ms. Yeager, I don’t welcome you. After all, I still remember the way you scolded me last time in the hospital. I was scared to death when you smiled at me like that earlier!”
Selena shrugged and ignored Cindy’s stiff and glum expression.
Cindy panicked for a moment and turned to look at Eric.
Before she could speak, Selena laughed.
Selena looked at Eric and said calmly, “I settled the bill. Ms. Yeager, if you don’t mind, you can finish our leftovers. If you don’t want to, you can pay at your own expense. Now that we’re done eating, I’m going back to take a rest. I won’t disturb your date.”
For the first time, Selena felt that this couple was a good match when they stood together.
A b*tch and a b*stard.
Of course, they matched each other!
