The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric) novel Chapter 2469

The air was still for a moment.

Selena came back to her senses and realized that she was too close to Zachary.

She quickly moved her toes to push the swing back.

However, Zachary suddenly pulled the chain forward. He looked persistent and stared at her without blinking.

He seemed to be exploring the answer on her face.

“Selena?”

Selena coughed, looked away, and calmed down her beating heart.

She pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, and regained her composure.

“Zach, don’t be impulsive. You shouldn’t be hung up on me because I rejected you back then. I know exactly what I’m worth.”

Zachary was a firefighter, but he was not from a simple family.

In that dinner with Eric, Zachary was able to sit among the big shots and maintain his composure with ease as if no one else was there. This showed that he would return to his original position after all.

Even if he was in a relationship, he would have to find someone who matched him.

Selena did not want to be chucked aside after being played with.

She was not that stupid.

Selena was mostly moved because she had not been with a man for so long. Thus, her hormones caused her palpitations and tremors when such an eligible bachelor confessed his love to her.

However, after she calmed down, she knew that they were not well-matched.

Selena just came out of a failed marriage, so she must not fall into this vortex of feelings.

However, Eric’s face appeared in her mind at this time.

It made her frustrated.

Thinking of the way they parted ways earlier, Selena felt suffocated.

She felt that she would never step into Eric’s territory again.

What the hell!

Zachary’s words pulled her back from her thoughts.

His voice was light, but his dark eyes were very serious.

“Hung up on you? I am indeed, but you’re so beautiful like a goddess. I feel blasphemous even when I think about you. You also have your own business, which is a hundred times better than me as a firefighter. In terms of qualifications, I am indeed not good enough for you. But I have a good figure. I hope you won’t look down on me. I’ll be devoted to you and worship you, and I’ll never toy around with you.”

Selena did not expect that Zachary would say this.

She froze.

How did she become a goddess?

However, being worshiped was a nice feeling.

Selena suddenly changed her mind and examined Zachary. He was serious and sincere, and he did not look like he was lying.

Right, lying.

Selena suddenly thought of another thing.

She coughed calmly and said, “But didn’t you hide something from me? I will consider your proposal, but you’re not honest enough!”

When he helped her with the bar back then, she thanked him many times.

However, it was all Eric’s efforts.

She thanked the wrong person, and Eric ridiculed her for it.

Selena did not forget about this.

If Zachary did not come clean, it meant that he was too good at acting.

Then, his pursuit was just part of his act.

He paused.

Zachary was silent for a moment. Then, he raised his dark eyes to stare at her again.

His voice was clear but tinged with a bit of guilt as he said sincerely, “Are you talking about the reopening of the bar? I must admit that someone else told Mr. Cohen about it and lifted the order of suspension. That person wasn’t me. I can only help you within my limits, which is to purchase the equipment and ensure that your bar passes the inspection as soon as possible.”

After he finished speaking, he bowed his head and chuckled.

“I’ve been pressured because of this lately. When you thank me every time, it feels like I’m sitting on pins and needles. It wasn’t my intention to take someone else’s credit, but I thought that it was worth it because you’d think about me more.”

Zachary put himself in a very humble position.
