Selena did not pay attention and sat on Eric’s lap all of a sudden.She was startled. Just as she was about to stand up, a pair of large hands wrapped around her waist from behind. Her body tingled all over as if an electric current passed through her.Her face turned completely red in an instant.“Eric, let me go!”If he had not said that, she might just hit him, but he was still injured because of her.If she hit him again, the wound might be bigger, and Eric would not let her go.Eric leaned into the back of her neck. His warm fragrance instantly enveloped her, but he did not seem to be forcing her to do anything.On the contrary, he sounded a bit relieved and tired.He said in a deep voice, “I didn’t say this to frame him. He must have said bad things about me, right?”Selena chuckled and endured the numbness behind her ears. She forced herself to escape from such seductive masculinity.“You’re so petty. Zach didn’t say a single bad word about you and even praised you for

Eric felt a little distressed.Was Selena scared of his threat?Eric lowered his head and buried it in the crook of Selena’s neck. He remained that for a few minutes, but Selena did not dare to move. He even hoped that time would stand still like this.However, it would not.He slowly got off her and straightened his messy clothes.He glanced at her and pursed his lips. His chiseled face was somewhat unapproachable, and his voice was low and cold.“I don’t want to threaten you with anything. I don’t care about the bar or that boy toy. It’s best if you can think through it by yourself, but if you can’t, I can help you.”He was hinting at her coldly.How could Selena not understand his warning?“You’re despicable!”Selena quickly jolted up and punched the bed to vent her dissatisfaction.“What’s the difference between you and a robber?”Eric smiled, but his eyes were a little cold.“The difference is that the robbers will just do it without warning, and I’m asking for your o

“What would you guys like to eat? I will prepare it right away.”Everyone told the boss what they wanted.Burritos, pancakes, bacon, eggs, coffee...Selena noticed that they were all down-to-earth and felt comfortable around them, so she chatted and laughed with them.Zachary sat at the same table with Selena, but the others were tactful and did not join them.Zachary was an easygoing person. They talked and laughed so that Selena felt extremely relaxed and at ease.When his gaze fell on Selena’s face from time to time, Selena was reminded that he had coveted her for a long time.Selena was excited, but she also had mixed feelings about it. After all, this was the first time that such a wonderful thing happened to her.She also intended to try it out with him.However, she did not want to rush it. After breakfast, she mentioned that she was going back.Zachary did not say much because they also had to hurry back to the station.They parted ways, and Selena walked back happil

Selena desperately wanted to live and did not want to sacrifice her life for anyone.She was selfish, hypocritical, and mean. She was only willing to do some good deeds within her ability if she had a comfortable life, not because of pure kindness.Selena ran away from her marriage to survive. She killed Derek Norton to be free, and she opened a bar to make money.She would not sacrifice her life for strangers.It was a great possibility of being in danger if she stayed here, so she did not want to stay.Therefore, Selena did not show any calmness and reason as she said bluntly, “You have to send me down first. The aftershocks may come at any time. I don’t want to be put in any danger because I’m waiting for you here.”Zachary was in a dilemma, and he said with some difficulty, “You heard it too. Those people are in danger…”“Yes, I heard it, but they’re already in danger. You’re not a doctor, so it’s pointless for you to go. I need to be in a safe place too.”Selena pursed her

Eric mercilessly shut Chance out the door.Selena could vaguely hear Eric say impatiently, “Are you done with your homework? If that man is that great, why doesn’t he just float up to space?”Chance said in a low voice, “I thought only astronauts are able to go to space?”......Bang!The door closed.Eric came back by himself.Selena frowned at him and shook her head.“Do you know why your son never complimented you?”Eric raised his eyebrows slightly and looked indifferent.“That’s because I don’t have to pretend to impress others.”He implied that Zachary was putting on a show and trampled on him.Selena was shocked by Eric’s thick skin.Eric sat next to her and opened the first aid kit. When he saw her injured leg, his eyes darkened, and his face tightened.Some gravel was embedded in her knees. The blood had dried up, and the wounded area that was as big as his palm was mottled and bloodied.Eric paused. His eyes were as calm as a deep lake.“Why don’t we go to the
