Mitchell was puzzled. He wanted to say something, but someone approached them.
“Mr. Ferguson, long time no see…”
After Selena ate a few pieces of dessert, she could not stomach it anymore.
Thus, she slowly walked to the window with a glass of champagne in her hand. She sipped on it and became more sober as she drank.
It was not as dark outside, with neon lights sparsely scattered throughout the city.
It was simple and beautiful.
Unfortunately, she had no part in this.
The countdown to the end of her relationship had officially started. It had only been 24 hours.
No one progressed faster than she did.
Suddenly, there was a sound of high heels coming from the side.
Selena looked sideways at an unfamiliar woman. She was very beautiful and graceful.
The woman had a kind of noble and elegant beauty that was inborn in her.
“Hello, are you Mr. Ferguson’s female companion?”
With that question, she introduced her reason for coming over.
Selena understood in an instant and smiled.
“Yes. What’s the matter?”
“My name is Taylor Caldwell. I’m from CK Corporation, and I have a project that I’d like to present to Mr. Ferguson. Will you introduce me to him?”
The woman was eloquent. She spoke without the slightest bit of ridicule and sarcasm.
When she looked at Selena, her eyes were clear and serious. She wore light makeup, and she made one feel comfortable around her.
However, she was still unapproachable, just like Eric.
Selena glanced at Eric, who was the center of attention, and smiled.
“I’m not familiar with you, so I’m afraid I can’t introduce you. But Eric has always been interested in making money, so he won’t reject you if you go straight to him.”
The woman was obviously taken aback by Selena’s bluntness. However, she was not shocked or upset. She just smiled faintly.
“Okay. This is also my first time meeting him, so I don’t know Mr. Ferguson’s preferences. Since you said so, I’ll try it.”
Taylor nodded politely before she turned around and walked toward Eric.
Selena squinted her eyes. From a distance, Selena could see the two of them in the same frame.
They were really a good match!
That woman was capable and made Selena feel like there was a gap between them that she could not catch up to.
It seemed that only someone like Eric was worthy of her. Eric was well-matched to Taylor.
Selena drank the champagne in the glass and slowly walked toward Eric.
She tried to see if that woman took the initiative to cozy up to Eric or show any affection toward him.
However, Taylor did not do so.
She talked about her business and projects fluently as Eric listened solemnly.
They did not look like they were casually chatting.
Selena paused and hesitated whether to go over.
Eric saw Selena out of the corner of his eye and beckoned to her. He stretched out his hand and interrupted the woman apologetically.
“Wait a minute.”
Eric looked up at Selena and smiled gently.
“Are you full? Come here.”
He took a brochure of the auction items from the seat next to him.
“These are the auction items. You can check out what you like first. Then we’ll bid for it later.”
Selena took it over in a daze.
The gaze of that beautiful woman also landed on Selena’s face.
At that moment, Selena’s face felt a little hot.
Selena felt ashamed.
She maintained her superficial calmness, turned around, and sat down on a nearby sofa with the booklet in hand.
Everyone saw that Eric did not seem to care about his wallet, so there were fewer and fewer bids.
In the end, it was auctioned at a price of $22 million.
Eric looked at Selena happily. Her face was dull without the slightest hint of joy.
He reached out to hold her hand and said in a low voice, “Don’t be nervous. I’ll buy you whatever you like in a while.”
His doting and affection for Selena seemed to have reached an incurable point.
Selena smiled perfunctorily and was very cooperative.
If she had not met Cindy and had not heard that recording, Selena would have wholeheartedly looked forward to a future with Eric starting today.
She would even foolishly throw herself into this relationship.
Such a rational person like her would be destroyed by a man.
The second item was a calligraphy painting.
Of course, Selena was not interested.
Next was a diamond necklace, which she got.
There was also a forest sculpture carved from jade that she bought.
Selena also bought a wooden puppet.
One after another, Selena got whatever she liked.
Eric did not ask any questions and bid for everything Selena set her eyes on.
In the end, the whole venue was silent and became their private auction.
Everyone started to pay attention to the woman beside Eric.
After all, Eric had never spent so much to please a woman, except when he was crazy in love with Nicole a few years ago.
However, who was the woman beside him now?
No one knew the details.
Some people were not internet savvy, so they did not know that Selena had gone viral a while ago.
However, her fame soon died down.
