“A-Are you talking to me?” Gerard asked as he carefully looked at Eric’s face.
Gerard was confused.
Eric clearly wanted to warn him with a cold face just now, so why did Eric suddenly change his attitude?
It was so strange.
“Excuse me. Sorry to disturb you. Are you Mr. Ferguson’s friend?”
A very gentle and pleasant voice came from behind Gerard, so he subconsciously turned his head.
Gerard saw a woman wearing a slightly exaggerated red dress.
Since Selena got divorced, she completely let loose. She no longer liked plain things.
Even the colors of her wardrobe were bolder and more exaggerated.
Obviously, such clothes were only worn by old ladies when they had dance lessons.
Selena was wearing a rainbow-colored dress with a belt around her waist.
However, she looked nice in it.
Selena looked lively, aloof, mature, adventurous, charming, and innocent, all at the same time.
She did not have the prettiest face, but her facial features were delicate, and her skin was supple. Her eyes were clear and shrewd, and her voice was gentle and soft. It was tough to determine her character.
Gerard paused and looked dumbfounded.
He was not used to staring at others so impolitely.
Eric’s cold eyes almost bore a hole through Gerard. In the end, Eric kicked him in the leg.
The moment Gerard screamed, Eric retracted his leg, stood up, and looked back at Selena.
“It’s me.”
Gerard was stunned by Eric’s brief sentence.
Eric’s tone sounded as if it was an honor that he decided to patronize the bar tonight.
It made Eric seem annoying.
Selena, who was at the back, took a step forward in surprise.
She offered the wine Eric requested with both hands and said in feigned excitement.
“Mr. Ferguson, it really is you! I was just wondering why the bar seems so bright today. Why didn’t you go upstairs? It’s not at all like you to show your face down here!”
Selena was sarcastic and flattering at the same time, which made Gerard want to laugh.
However, Gerard stifled his laugh when he saw Eric’s solemn face.
Selena did not seem to notice anything. She walked over and said hello to Gerard.
“My name is Selena Nelson. I’m the owner of the bar. You can call me if you need anything, but no discounts!”
Gerard smiled and stretched out his hand.
“I’m Gerard Lichman. Nice to meet you.”
Selena raised her eyebrows when she saw the wedding ring on his hand and nodded with a smile.
Eric’s expression was a little gloomy.
“Are you done here? We came here to talk business!”
Selena smiled speechlessly. However, she did not show her anger.
“Okay. I just came to ask if you needed a private room. It happens to be empty.”
“No need.”
Eric sat there impatiently.
Selena pursed her lips. “Help yourselves then.”
She smiled and waved to Gerard, then walked toward the bar.
Eric glanced at her arrogantly, then snorted lightly.
“She’s dressed like a giant rooster…”
Gerard burst out laughing.
“Ferg, you don’t need to insult her. You were obviously very happy to see her just now!”
“When was I ever happy?”
Eric’s tone was deep.
