Selena thought that Zachary was a rare gem among men.
Thus, she did not mind considering him.
After a while, Zachary’s colleagues, who were concerned about Zachary’s love life, quickly urged him to accompany Selena.
Fortunately, Zachary did not bring up the matter of Selena being his girlfriend again. Thus, Selena and Zachary got along quite casually.
Zachary was an easygoing person to talk to, so it did not feel awkward around him. He would share some interesting stories from time to time, which made Selena laugh uncontrollably.
“Two days ago when we were on the job to put out a fire at an old man’s house, he said his son was at home, so we went in to rescue him. But we searched several times and couldn’t find anyone. Even after the fire was extinguished, we couldn’t find his son. But guess what? His son was a cat. As soon as the fire broke out, the cat ran away. The old man saw that the cat was unscathed and got so angry that he beat the cat with a stick…”
These were just trivial things, but they became extraordinarily interesting coming from Zachary.
Zachary showed no impatience or disgust, as if such trivial things were the essence of life.
After the class, a young female homeroom teacher eyed Zachary from time to time. Naturally, she also noticed Selena, who was next to Zachary.
She could not help but ask others quietly.
The others did not know what the female teacher was thinking and explained with a smile, “That’s our captain and his girlfriend. Hehe… They’re a good match, right?”
The female teacher’s expression visibly fell.
They were indeed a good match.
Finally, they made it to the end of class.
Selena was finally able to leave with them.
Everyone was tactful to let Zachary drive so that Selena could sit in the passenger seat.
Selena’s refusal was fruitless, so she had no choice but to sit in the passenger seat apprehensively.
Fortunately, there were few people and cars on the road.
Zachary drove the truck back to the station first before he sent Selena back to the bar.
By the time they got to the bar, it was already evening.
Before the two of them got out of the car, Zachary’s phone rang. It seemed that there was something urgent in the station, and Zachary was asked to go directly to the site.
Selena did not dare to delay him, so she immediately opened the door and got out of the car.
“Be careful on the road and at work…”
Zachary smiled and nodded. “Goodbye! I’ll see you some other time.”
Selena waved her hand, and Zachary immediately drove off.
She chuckled and was in a pretty good mood. Then, she turned around and walked into the bar.
Chaz, the bar manager, did a good job. He came early every day to make preparations.
When Selena pushed the door open and went inside, she noticed something was wrong.
The normally lively bar was eerily quiet.
The waiters were in their positions, but no one spoke.
The lights were still bright and not dimmed.
Selena stood there and glanced around, feeling puzzled.
Suddenly, Chaz ran over from somewhere.
“You’re back…”
It seemed that something big happened.
Selena frowned in confusion. She was already very tired from being outside all day, so all she wanted to do was go upstairs and sleep.
She reluctantly stood there and asked, “What’s going on? Why is everyone so quiet?”
Chaz glanced upstairs and did not know what to say for a moment.
“Mr. Ferguson is here.”
Selena frowned and was shaken.
“Why is he here?”
They left on a bad note earlier, so Selena did not want to see Eric so soon.
Eric was not fully recovered yet either, so why did he leave the house?
Did he pretend to be weak just because he wanted her to serve him like a king?
Hah! What a great scheme!
Unfortunately, Selena saw through his schemes.
Chaz pursed his lips and gave her a meaningful look.
