The image Cindy had maintained for a long time finally collapsed.
As soon as Eric turned around, Cindy became flustered. She took a few steps forward and said, “Eric, did you deny that we have ever dated because you only love Nicole?”
Eric paused slightly.
Mitchell’s face changed. He had a bad premonition about this.
Eric’s side profile was sharp and angular. He looked indifferent and unapproachable.
Cindy’s focus suddenly shifted from business to feelings.
The tabloid reporters suddenly found a new purpose.
Eric was silent for a few seconds, said two words, and left immediately after.
After hearing these two words, Mitchell changed his expression before he followed Eric out.
Eric said, “Of course.”
Of course, Eric only loved Nicole.
Others would not think much about it and might even praise him for being so affectionate.
However, Mitchell was the only one who knew that Eric was with Selena. Eric was obviously in love with Selena, but he still did not realize it.
If Selena heard the answer to this question, Mitchell wondered what she would think.
At this moment, Eric did not even understand why Cindy asked such a question.
Mitchell and Eric got into the elevator.
They were separated from everything outside.
Eric’s eyes were cold and gloomy.
Mitchell pursed his lips. “Mr. Ferguson, you didn’t have to answer that last question.”
He felt a little uneasy about it.
Eric rubbed the bridge of his nose and felt a bit sullen and tired.
He did not know why he wanted to answer that question.
It was as if Eric was forcing himself to confirm his own feelings.
Eric’s heart swayed for another woman that was not Nicole. This was torture for him, and it was painful and uncomfortable as if someone stabbed him.
Selena’s name appeared in his mind more than once.
In his heart, Selena was starting to occupy more space and time.
However, Eric did not want another woman to replace Nicole.
Eric looked down on his change in heart.
Selena was like a drug. As long as she stood there without saying anything, Eric just felt the urge to get close to her.
That was why he was so powerless.
Eric really wanted to give up on Selena and return to his original self.
However, he could not.
Thus, the reply just now was more like his persistence about his feelings.
Seeing that Eric did not speak, Mitchell did not continue to ask.
Mitchell tried to remember who the reporters were just now as he wanted them to omit Cindy’s question and Eric’s reply from their news reports.
Otherwise, Selena would suffer the most.
As soon as the two of them arrived upstairs, they received news from the bodyguard downstairs.
“They have already left, and the reporters have dispersed. We have also deleted all video recordings from the reporters.”
It was cleaned up well.
The group of reporters returned without any success.
Mitchell relayed Eric’s message. Eric did not care about these trivial matters. He immediately started a meeting with the heads of the departments.
Eric put pressure on the bank, so the Yeager family was probably getting impatient.
The Yeagers already stepped on Eric’s toes with that fuss earlier.
How could he still give the Yeager family a chance to breathe?
Mitchell thought about it and felt that today’s matter was resolved properly.
At least, word would not get out. Those reporters were not so stupid to take the risk of offending Ferguson Corporation.
......
Eric worked overtime until 9:00 pm.
When he came out of the office, it was already pitch black outside.
The street lamps flickered.
The text message on the phone was from two hours ago.
