Selena stood there. Even if she was a little scared of Eric, she could not show it.
After settling her emotions for a while, Selena narrowed her eyes and walked in slowly.
She saw that the man was standing there motionless, so she could not help but say, “I was wondering who could be so rude to enter my bedroom uninvited. It turned out to be you, Mr. Ferguson. I’m not surprised by this. After all, no one but you will do this.”
Facing Selena’s derision, Eric did not get angry and yell back.
On the contrary, he was uncharacteristically calm. He squinted his eyes and looked stern.
“Who sent you back?”
Eric could see clearly from upstairs just now, but he just wanted to hear Selena tell him in person.
He had investigated everything about Zachary, so he naturally remembered what car Zachary drove.
Eric had come to apologize and reconcile with Selena, but when he saw that scene earlier, he was infuriated.
This woman was really restless!
Selena was puzzled by Eric’s indifferent attitude.
She frowned, walked in, and leaned against the wall languidly.
“Mr. Ferguson, don’t you think you’re being too nosy? How does it concern you who sent me back? On the contrary, I should be asking you why you’re here, and who allowed you to come into my room?”
The evening light was gorgeous.
It was as if the sunset was taking special consideration of Eric, shrouding him in a faint halo. It was so unreal, as if it was a camera effect.
After a while, Eric finally turned around. His cold and indifferent eyes swept over Selena, and his voice was deep as he said, “You even slept on my bed! You went in and out of my bedroom at will and kissed me proactively. I think our relationship is no longer limited to ordinary friends, right? So, what’s wrong with me coming into your bedroom?”
His righteous attitude made Selena speechless for a moment.
What kind of roguish logic was this?
Selena immediately stood up straight. Her face was glum as she corrected him.
“Don’t make it sound so ambiguous. I was your caretaker. That’s why I went in and out of your room at will. Even though we slept in the same bed, nothing actually happened between us, so it didn’t mean anything!”
“Hah! Why do you sound so regretful that nothing happened between us?”
The man’s voice was hoarse.
“I’m not! Don’t twist my words!”
Selena immediately refuted.
The man frowned and looked at her for two seconds. His throat moved, and his eyes were sharp and cold.
“Twist your words? Did I make up the fact that you took the initiative to kiss me? I didn’t know that you’re one to deny what you’ve done!”
Selena frowned. She heard some sadness in his tone.
What was happening?
She sneered. “I already told you that I didn’t do it on purpose, so just forget it! Can’t you take it as if you got bitten by a dog?”
“No dog dares to bite me!”
Selena looked at him irritably.
“So what? I’ve already apologized, so why are you still harping on this matter? Why don’t you publicize it everywhere, then? Anyway, I won’t be the one who suffers.”
Selena knew that Eric would not dare to make this known to others because he did not want people to know about his injury. He also did not want others to know that he had spent so many days with a woman.
He would not be able to explain himself.
Selena was on the losing end in this matter. If Eric dared to publicize it, her bar’s business might even get better!
However, Selena had a clear conscience.
Eric looked at her silently. His Adam’s apple rolled slightly, and the emotions in his eyes surged with forbearance and restraint.
He was furious, but he also knew that he was in the wrong.
Eric averted his gaze and looked at the delicate little white flowers growing on the balcony. He instantly calmed down.
