The Deserted Rich Beauty (Nicole and eric)

Selena went to get Eric's laptop and needed to enter the password.

Eric told her without hesitation. When she turned on the laptop, he paused and added, "This is also the password to my safe. You have to remember it." Selena was speechless.

"Would you tell your caregiver or assistant the combination to your safe?"

She was clearly not interested.

Eric recalled that Selena had mailed back his unlimited credit card.

Why would she be interested in these things?

He looked desolate. Fortunately, his eyes were covered with gauze, so Selena could not see the emotions he inadvertently revealed.

"Of course not. I only tell people I trust."

The man's voice was deep and powerful.

Selena smiled and opened the mailbox.

It had a few unread emails in English and French.

Fortunately, Selena had been abroad before, so French was not a problem for her.

However, the content....

Selena sighed.

She recognized the words, but she did not know what they meant.

Thus, she could only read and could not translate.

Although she stumbled while reading, Eric looked serious and dignified. He did not look disdainful at all.

Eric did not ask Selena to reply to his email. Instead, he called Mitchell, who understood what Eric wanted.

Some were business secrets, but Eric still spoke without avoiding Selena.

Selena felt a little awkward.

She did not want to know.

She clearly remembered the reason for their breakup.

It was because she looked at his phone, which had business secrets in it.

It seemed that there were more business secrets on his laptop.

Was he not afraid that she would see it?

However, Selena did not want to ask.

She did not want to bring up that incident again and embarrass everyone.

They were all trying their best to forget about it.

It took less than two hours for Eric to finish the phone call and deal with the matter.

The silence in the room was a little too obvious.

Eric suddenly noticed why it was so silent.

He also recalled their most serious argument.

Eric was not actually afraid that Selena would see the business secrets in his phone.

He just felt uncomfortable with her behavior of peeking at his phone.

Eric did not want them to become a couple with no personal space.

Even if they were very close, they should still respect each other's boundaries.

This sense of boundaries was based on mutual trust.

Selena obviously did not trust him. Back then, she did not have such a tacit understanding with him.

Selena suddenly laughed and turned off the laptop.

Eric walked over slowly. Selena was afraid that he would fall, so she got up and helped him.

"The sofa is behind you."

Eric sat down obediently.

He felt the need to clarify what happened earlier.

Eric took a deep breath.

"Selena, I shouldn't have said what I did last time when we quarreled. It's normal for a girlfriend to check her boyfriend's phone." Selena paused slightly.

She did not expect him to take the initiative to bring up this matter.

"Have you seen what happened to Taylor?"

Eric had put pressure on CK Corporation so that Taylor's father could find a marriage partner for her quickly.

Due to this, Taylor even went to Ferguson Corporation and asked Eric why he did that.

At that time, Eric was calm as he said lightly, "You contact me too often, which makes my girlfriend upset."

In order to get rid of the rumors, Eric could only ask Taylor to get married as soon as possible.

This way, the scandal between Eric and Taylor would resolve itself.

Taylor had been trained since childhood and was good at controlling her emotions.

Even though she had always been gentle and calm, she suddenly lost control when she received this news.

She just cursed at him with restraint and turned to leave.

Even if this would make Eric's follow-up cooperation with CK Corporation less smooth, it was better than continuing to keep up the peace.

If he had to sacrifice someone, he could not and would not sacrifice Selena.

Thus, he could only sacrifice the third party.

Eric knew that he had always been an egoist and did not care about outsiders.

The biggest concession he made was to give up a few percent of his profit in the cooperation to express his apology to Ms. Caldwell.

Selena lowered her head and stared at the floor.

She felt that going back into that struggling relationship was a risk.

However, Selena was a risk-taker.

She had always been at high risk all her life, right?

"I really have nothing to do with her. I admit to allowing the news to spread that I have a close relationship with Taylor for the benefit of the company. But I never thought of being with her when I was with you." He chuckled lightly, with a bit of helplessness and coldness.

"Selena, I'm not that much of an *sshole."

Eric was selfish, but he had a bottom line.

Selena was his, so he would not put her in an awkward situation.

Eric breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his hands nervously as he waited for Selena's reaction.

The ward was strangely quiet.

A few minutes felt like a long century.

Selena chuckled and sat there.

"I saw it. I also reflected on my behavior. I shouldn't be suspicious of you, but Eric, you have to admit that you have never given me a sense of security in our ridiculous relationship. That's why I overthink things. I didn't want to care about the rumors out there, but I could only do that if we weren't in a relationship. I still have the same stance. If we find our other half, there's no need for an explanation. Our relationship will automatically be over."

Selena approached him slowly and kept her gaze on his face.

"Can you understand this?"

The corners of Eric's lips were pressed into a straight line.

There were a few seconds of silence.

His voice was clear as he said, "Yes."

It felt like a prisoner on death row was suddenly acquitted.

That restraint disappeared instantly.

Her ability to say this meant that she was giving them another chance.

Whether it was out of sympathy or guilt, Eric did not care anymore.

He just wanted her to be by his side.

That was enough for him.

Selena raised her eyes and smiled. Her smile was pretty and relaxed.

She looked outside at the flickering light. Then, she sat there with her back straight, looking like a beautiful swan.

This was how she looked when she was happy.

It was a pity that Eric could not see it.

Selena did not want to feel exhausted in a relationship.

If they had to date, she would just enjoy the pleasure that he brought her.

In the past, Selena thought and wanted too much from their relationship.

However, she suddenly figured out that she had problems from the very beginning.

Thus, she wanted to continue in another way.

Eric showed a rare smile, stretched out his hand, and asked for something she could not refuse.

"Although I can't see you now, can I hug you? Selena, I'm very glad that you're here."

Selena walked over and hugged him, feeling his warm chest and violent heartbeat.

"I'm glad too."

Eric felt that his eye injury was worth it!

The specialists arrived in the afternoon.

As soon as they arrived, they began a comprehensive checkup.

Selena went out to wait, stood at the door, and walked back and forth a little nervously.
