The Divorced Billionaire Heiress Boss

Chapter 2553 She’s a Caregiver

Just as Selena was about to speak, Lara, who was next to her, could not help but said, “How could it be? You can see by the number of people that Mr. Ferguson has here that Ms. Nelson is doing well. I think it’s a blessing in disguise, right? So many people wish for a chance to take care of Mr. Ferguson.”

Selena was slightly taken aback by Lara’s sincere and serious words.

She turned her head with a smile, looked at Lara, and said politely, “Lara, if you wish for it, I can tell Mr. Ferguson to let you stay and be his caregiver.”

Lara was slightly taken aback.

The situation instantly turned awkward.

Lara did not expect Selena to talk back to her.

At the moment, Lara was in the limelight on the internet. Everyone praised her when she returned to showbiz.

No one dared to be so blunt to her.

How could Lara work as a caregiver for Eric?

Lara’s face turned pale.

It was not that she did not want to, but if news got out, her reputation would be gone.

Harvey heard the tension between the two women and remembered that Lara came over to him after he taught Selena to play golf.

Could it be that these two women had a grudge?

Harvey paused, and Mr. Griffin interrupted them.

“That’s enough. Why are you arguing? How could you be Mr. Ferguson’s caregiver? If he’s willing, I will be the first to volunteer!”

Selena could not help but laugh.

Mr. Griffin was really interesting.

Selena took a few quick steps and arrived next to Mr. Griffin.

Mr. Griffin asked in a low voice, “Did Mr. Ferguson make things difficult for you? Did he mention the divestment?”

Selena did not want to reveal her relationship with Eric.

She paused and said, “No, he didn’t make things difficult for me. He just asked me to take care of him as a caregiver. Otherwise, he would sue me. I can’t afford the compensation!”

Mr. Griffin nodded. His doubts about the relationship between Selena and Eric were instantly dispelled.

He confirmed that they had no relationship.

Sue?

Mr. Griffin sighed. Eric probably did not want to let Selena go so easily and wanted to punish her.

Rich people were petty!

When they got to the door, bodyguards stood on both sides.

Seeing Selena, they nodded politely and opened the door to let her in.

Selena went in and came out soon after.

“Mr. Ferguson invites Mr. Griffin in.”

The others did not have to go in.

Eric hated being troubled.

Letting Mr. Griffin into the ward was already a big concession.

Mr. Griffin nodded happily and looked back at his male and female lead.

“You two can wait for me outside. I’ll convey your blessings.”

Harvey and Lara were speechless.

They had no good wishes for Eric.

When Mr. Griffin went in, he noticed that the ward looked like a small suite in a hotel.

Such wards were not common in the hospital. Mr. Griffin praised, “Mr. Ferguson, you’re really rich and powerful!”

Mr. Griffin liked this investor even more.

He had more expectations now.

Mr. Griffin saw Eric lying on the rocking chair, donning a light gray shirt, trousers, and sunglasses.

Eric’s casual and languid posture made people think that he was on vacation.

As soon as Mr. Griffin entered, he took a breath and started crying.

“Mr. Ferguson, are your eyes okay? I’ve been very worried since you got hurt. I wanted to visit you earlier, but I was afraid of disturbing your recovery. I feel so distressed…”

Selena was pouring a glass of water. When she heard that, her hand shook, and some of the water spilled out.

She looked up in shock and watched as Mr. Griffin pulled out a chair to sit beside Eric.

Mr. Griffin even held Eric’s chair to keep him from rocking.

“Mr. Ferguson…”

With tears in his eyes, Mr. Griffin began to express his worries and sorrows.

Eric’s face turned gloomier when he heard this.

The most obvious thing was that Eric was starting to exude his authoritative vibe again.

Eric seemed to be on the verge of anger.

Mr. Griffin’s talent was wasted being a director. He should be an actor!

Eric’s face was tense. His fingers were on the edge of the armrest, and he was holding back his anger.

Selena hurried over and interrupted Mr. Griffin’s crying with a smile.

“Well, Mr. Griffin. Do you want to wipe your face? Mr. Ferguson can’t shed tears during his recuperation, and I was almost moved to tears by what you said.”

Mr. Griffin raised his eyes. “Really?”

Selena nodded sincerely.

Mr. Griffin sniffled and held back his tears.

“Mr. Ferguson, I have already prepared the investment contract. Without your participation in this movie, it’ll just be mediocre, like a drop of water in the vast ocean. But if you’re involved, it’ll win awards…”

Mr. Griffin was praising Eric.

If it had been someone else, that investor would have been in high spirits.

However, Eric was so calm. These words went in one ear and went out the other.

Eric could not bear it anymore and finally stood up.

However, Mr. Griffin was leaning too far forward, so Eric bumped into him.

Eric’s face turned pale from the pain.

Selena stepped forward in an instant and pulled him back. Then, she bent down to rub his knee.

As soon as Selena’s hands touched him, Eric pulled her up.

Eric looked in the direction of Mr. Griffin with a gloomy expression. His tone was cold as he said, “Mr. Griffin, I have handed over this cooperation to Mitchell and will tell him that you’ll see him to sign the contract.”

Mr. Griffin pulled himself out of the shock and looked at Eric in surprise.

“Really? Mr. Ferguson, you’re the best! Your decision will affect the future development of the entertainment industry…”

Mr. Griffin wanted to keep talking, but Selena coughed.

“Mr. Griffin, it’s time for Mr. Ferguson to take his medicine…”

“Oh, okay. I won’t bother you anymore. I’ll come to visit Mr. Ferguson another day!”

Of course, that would be around the time for the second round of financing.

Mr. Griffin happily left.

Only the angry Eric and the helpless Selena were left behind.

“This old geezer! I’m not dead yet, but he cries as if he’s mourning me.”

Eric kicked the chair in front of him.

However, he was wearing slippers, so he kicked his foot.

He froze in pain. His whole body was covered in injuries.

What a pity.

Selena moved the chair away and let him sit down again.

“Don’t think like that. Mr. Griffin is just here for business. He’s afraid that you’ll implicate him, so he tries to flatter you. It turns out that being a director is so difficult!”

Eric was speechless.

He put up with Mr. Griffin for so long, but Selena only felt sorry for the director.

Eric was too angry to speak.

Selena leaned forward slightly. When she was about to get past him to get something, she suddenly felt a hand on her waist.

Eric hugged her and pulled her onto his lap.

Selena froze for a moment and subconsciously looked outside the door.

Fortunately, no one was there.

Eric did not do much. He just held her in his arms and touched her.

“I can’t see you, so I just want to hug you.”

Eric touched her slender waist that was outlined by her slim dress. The delicate touch could easily arouse his dark thoughts.

However, he had to bear with it for now.

He did not want Selena to feel like he could not leave her because of sex.

Eric restrained his thoughts. His throat moved, and Selena’s supple skin made him feel that he would lose control.
