As soon as Eric went upstairs, he was stunned by the brand-new furniture.
He was silent.
The furnishing was much better than before. The several bedrooms were designed to be spacious and bright. The furnishings outside were also unique.
Moreover, the space upstairs was well-insulated. Once he was upstairs, he could not hear what was going on downstairs.
Eric saw the master bedroom and went in. The sound insulation was even better here. The noise would not affect Selena’s sleep at all.
He seemed disappointed and distressed.
Selena stood there and said, “Look around then. Go downstairs after you’re done.”
Eric was silent. He looked up at her.
“Will you consider what I said?”
Selena wanted to dismiss him quickly and nodded perfunctorily.
Eric went to the small balcony of the bedroom and sat there in a rocking chair.
Selena was speechless.
The man said without changing his expression. “Then you can think about it and follow me back when you’ve considered. I’ll wait for you here if you can’t reach a decision.”
“You’re being a scoundrel!”
Selena looked at him incredulously.
Eric raised his eyebrows and sat there without fear.
His sharp face showed a bit of warmth, and he looked nonchalant.
Selena laughed in exasperation.
She turned around and left, not wanting to continue talking to Eric.
Anyway, he would leave after he gets bored from waiting.
The sky was getting darker. More people were coming to the bar. Some people began to order songs, and the musicians sang slow ballads to start out the night.
Selena regulated her mood and went downstairs to greet the guests.
It was almost 9:00 pm.
Selena figured that Eric should have left.
She was humming a song and sitting on the bar counter to sort out the drinks when a man who drank a little too much wobbled to her.
“Boss, another glass of brandy.”
Selena glanced at him and smiled. “I think you can save it for next time. You’ve had enough to drink. Should I ask your friends or family to take you home?”
It was common for people to create trouble in bars.
Of course, there were quite a few people making trouble at the bar, but Chaz knew martial arts, so he was not afraid.
Moreover, they had 360-degree monitoring without any blind spots.
The man put one hand on Selena’s shoulder and exerted some force.
“Don’t worry. Give me another drink. I’ll leave after this.”
Selena was helpless. She was about to pour him a drink with a slightly lower alcohol content when she suddenly heard him wailing from behind.
She quickly turned back and saw Eric pinching that man’s hand. Eric’s eyes were cold, vicious, and furious.
The man broke out in cold sweat from the pain.
Selena hurried over to stop him. “Eric, let go of him.”
“He’s drunk, and he tried to take advantage of you. Don’t you know?”
The man’s dirty hands were placed on Selena’s shoulders. Eric felt that they were an eyesore.
How dare this man touch his woman?
“He didn’t do it on purpose.”
Selena was helpless. That man was just drunk and leaned on her casually. He did not touch her recklessly.
Moreover, that man was a regular. How could Selena have a fall out with him because of this?
Eric gritted his teeth and squeezed hard before he let go.
However, that was enough to make the man sober up completely.
The man was dripping with cold sweat from the pain. Selena calmed down and said, “That’s enough. Don’t make a fuss.”
Selena frowned.
The man did not dare to settle the score with Eric and ran away.
Eric stared at him coldly for a few seconds before he looked away.
“I’ve helped you to get rid of a hooligan for the second time. There are quite a lot of people like this in the bar. I don’t think it’s interesting to open the bar.”
