Chapter 2417 Several Suitors
Gerard was intrigued to hear this.
He also noticed the changes in Eric.
This was a good opportunity, so Gerard wanted to find out why Eric treated Selena differently.
“Yeah? So, what kind of man does your boss like?”
The waiter saw that Eric and Gerard were not ordinary men, and they looked like they had a good
temper, so he said a few more words.
“My boss hasn’t accepted anyone yet, but those admirers just keep coming for my boss. My boss
doesn’t want to lead them on either and made herself clear. She welcomes customers to the bar
regardless of whether she likes them or not. But she won’t give any discounts or open a tab because
we’re running a business.”
Gerard could not help but smile. He adjusted his glasses and looked at Eric.
“Interesting! Your boss is really eye-catching, huh?”
Eric snorted coldly.
“It’s because you don’t know her.”
The waiter did not like listening to Eric’s subtle insult, but he did not retort and only pursed his lips.
The waiter thought, ‘My boss is obviously the most beautiful boss ever! Is this man blind?!’
Gerard asked, “How do you know her? Why do I feel that a lot of things happened that I don’t know
about during my time abroad?”
“There are a lot of things you don’t know.”
Eric took a sip from the wine glass. The rich and spicy liquid entered his throat, which made his blood
more heated.
He thought that the woman sitting at the bar was becoming more of an eye-sore, especially when he
saw a man touching her. His eyes seemed to be frozen.
“That person looks familiar. Does he come here often?”
When Eric asked, the waiter looked over.
“Oh, that man is one of my boss’s fanatic suitors. I think he’s a trust fund kid. He’s quite generous, but
my boss never accepts gifts from him. Even after being rejected many times, he still comes over and
drinks until he vomits. Then, his friend will take him away. But he just refuses to give up. He’s been
here a lot of times. He doesn’t listen no matter what my boss says. Look, he’s starting to cry again...”
Gerard was shocked to hear this. He did not expect Selena to have such a great charm.
He glanced at Eric, who had already stood up.
Gerard looked in that direction and was about to walk over.
He paused and stopped Eric. “Why are you going there?”
Gerard let go of Eric after a while and smiled.
“Are you saving the damsel in distress? Go on then!”
Eric looked at him coldly. His lips were pursed into a straight line.
“Look properly! That idiot is Nathaniel! He said that he’s studying abroad, but he’s still trying to date
someone here?”
His every word was cold.
The corners of Gerard’s mouth twitched, and he did not know what to say as he watched Eric march
over coldly.
Gerard secretly mourned for Nathaniel.
Poor guy...
“Selena, can you please consider me? Every time I see you, I just feel like I’ve found the meaning of
life! Do you believe it? You’re the compass to my life…”
Nathaniel drank some wine, and he was clearly not thinking through his words.
Selena sat next to him with a half-smile. She obviously did not believe a word he said.
However, she still nodded so that he would not be so sad.
“I believe you.”
Nathaniel took a deep breath and felt motivated to work harder.
“Then can you please think about it? We’re a really good fit, don’t you think? I’m an explorer, but I’m
willing to change for you!”
Just when Selena was about to say something with a perfunctory smile, she saw Eric put a hand on
Nathaniel’s shoulder.
“What are you going to change? Are you going to change your habit of having a new girlfriend every
month? Aren’t you supposed to be studying abroad instead of picking up women in bars?”
Eric’s voice was extremely cold and deep.
Nathaniel’s whole body shuddered. He instantly sobered up and felt as if he was struck by lightning. He
was so shocked that he almost fell off the high stool.
He turned his head, looked at Eric’s familiar face, and suddenly turned pale with fear.
“Uncle Eric...”
Eric’s eyes were gloomy without a hint of emotion.
“What? Did you forget your last name?”
Nathaniel gulped and quickly explained, “Actually, I just got off the plane and came here for a drink to
beat the jet lag...”
Selena smiled to the side and did not expose the fact that Nathaniel also came yesterday.
However, Eric obviously did not believe his nonsense.
“Oh, really? Do you think I’ll believe that?”
“Uncle Eric...”
Nathaniel had a bitter face and pleaded.
“Please show me some respect in front of the woman I like!”
Eric sneered, glanced at Selena, loosened his collar, and said mockingly, “The woman you like? Did
you ask her if she likes you?”
The topic involved Selena.
Selena put down her glass and clapped her hands.
“Mr. Nathaniel, I’ve already told you that I don’t want to be in a relationship for the time being, so don’t
waste your time on me.”
After she finished speaking, she smiled and looked at Eric. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“Mr. Ferguson, are you satisfied with what I just said?”
Her smile wavered slightly. Eric was in a daze looking at those bright eyes.
Eric immediately looked away and calmed his pounding heart.
“Did you hear that?”
Nathaniel was extremely sad as he looked at Selena and pouted.
“I can impress you with my sincerity.”
“That won’t be possible.”
Selena smiled and mercilessly dismissed his thought.
Nathaniel did not admit defeat. “How do you know if you don’t give it a shot?”
Nathaniel was still defending himself.
Hearing this, Eric could not help but sneer.
“Sincere?”
Nathaniel still wanted to say something, but when he met Eric’s cold eyes, he could not say anything.

Thus, he could only compromise and surrender.
“Fine… Uncle Eric, don’t hit me, okay? I’ll leave now.”
Nathaniel looked at Selena with a little regret.
“Ms. Nelson, I’ll come to see you another day.”
The corner of her mouth twitched.
“Thanks for your patronage.”
Nathaniel was speechless.
He tossed his jacket over his shoulders.
“Shall we go, Uncle Eric?”
Eric glanced at him and did not intend to leave with him.
Nathaniel frowned and looked at Eric incomprehensibly.
