Afraid of attracting the servant’s attention, Mitchell and Easton left after a short while.
In Eric’s room, Selena and Chance looked at each other.
Chance was happy and acted like a good host.
“Auntie, don’t worry. When Daddy wakes up, I’ll explain to him and ask him to thank you. Daddy is rich! You can get him to share some of his money with you.”
Selena could not help but smile. She pinched Chance’s little face, which was soft and bouncy.
“Why would your dad share his money with me? At most, he would just give me a smidge of alms.”
Chance frowned slightly, but soon, he looked at her with a smile.
“If he doesn’t share with you, I will!”
“You’re a good boy.”
Selena casually smiled and walked around the room to check it out.
There were all kinds of wine on display in the expensive wine cabinet, some of which she could not name because her bar could not afford to buy such expensive wine.
They were astoundingly expensive!
There were also porcelain vases randomly placed around the room. They did not look special, but they were nice on their own. They seemed to be bought from an auction.
Eric really had nothing but money!
Selena shook her head and heard slight footsteps outside.
Chance’s expression changed. He seemed a little nervous.
Selena frowned slightly, patted his head, and walked out.
There was another door between the bedroom door and the outer door.
Outside the bedroom was a small living room, which Eric usually used for work.
Thus, this bedroom was layered and had great sound insulation. It was designed to be as such.
Since the outer door was open, Selena and Chance could hear footsteps outside.
Before the sound of footsteps approached the inner door, Selena opened the door.
She saw a startled servant outside and twitched her lips expressionlessly.
“What’s the matter?”
The servant seemed a little nervous. “Ms. Nelson, since you just arrived, I wanted to ask if you need anything. We’ll prepare it for you right away. What do you and Mr. Ferguson want to have for lunch?”
When Selena was not smiling, she actually looked aloof.
At this moment, she could not smile.
Selena remembered clearly that when she first arrived, Mitchell had informed the servants that no one was allowed to come upstairs unless she ordered them to.
However, the servant came upstairs anyway.
Selena thought about the fact that Eric was still in a coma as well as Mitchell’s and Easton’s worries, so she was also anxious.
Thus, she could only pretend like she was someone not to be trifled with.
“Didn’t you understand what I said just now? Without my order, you’re not allowed to come upstairs. Have the Ferguson Villa’s servants always been so unruly?”
Her words made the servant shudder.
The servant panicked.
“I’m sorry, Ms. Nelson. The sound insulation of the room is too good, so I was afraid that you wouldn’t hear me yelling downstairs. It might even disturb Mr. Ferguson’s work, so I decided to come upstairs…”
Selena paused and said in a cold voice, “I hope this doesn’t happen again. It’s rare that Eric can take some time off to accompany me these days. So, I ought to adapt to the feeling of being the lady boss around here. I have the final say here, so I can fire you at a whim.”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Nelson. I wasn’t thinking straight. I hope you will give me another chance.”
The servant was flustered as she did not expect Selena to be so stern.
Selena twitched the corners of her mouth. “There should be an internal phone connecting upstairs and downstairs. If anything happens, just call us. Don’t disturb our precious time together.”
When Selena said that, she felt very ashamed.
Fortunately, there were not many people around. Otherwise, she would not know what to do if word got out.
Selena turned around, entered the bedroom, and slammed the door shut.
However, she did not leave immediately.
After she heard the sound of the servant running downstairs in a panic, Selena was slightly relieved.
Soon, Chance came over as he was also paying attention to the movement.
