Selena did not know if she would have such a good opportunity in the future.
She hurriedly caught up to Harvey and said excitedly and politely, “Will you give me an autograph first?”
Harvey froze for a moment. Then, he smiled with squinted eyes and nodded.
He took out the pen he carried with him and gestured.
Selena paused. She suddenly realized that she did not have any paper, so she looked at her white skirt with pity and stepped forward.
“Sign this. I’ll keep this skirt!”
Harvey nodded politely, lowered his head, and signed his name on her white skirt.
Selena smiled in satisfaction.
The elevator arrived and the doors opened slowly.
Harvey put the cap on the pen, stood upright, and smiled.
“Let’s meet again next time. Julie gave me your phone number because I wanted to ask you to do a cameo in a movie.”
“Me? You’re too kind. It’ll be my pleasure!”
Selena said excitedly. It was a rare opportunity to be able to appear on the same screen as her idol.
Harvey waved his hand and walked into the elevator with a smile.
Selena looked over and saw another man standing in the elevator. The man’s gaze was icy.
Eric looked at Selena with dark eyes. His figure was tall and straight, and he looked indifferent and noble.
Just standing there, Eric gave off an oppressive vibe.
He always had a lofty seriousness about him.
It made people feel distant from him.
When they were together, Selena was patient with him, but there was no longer a need for that.
They had broken up for three months, and Selena was doing better than she imagined.
To be free meant she had to give up on their relationship.
However, this price was worth it.
Four bodyguards stood behind Eric.
After Harvey got on the elevator, two bodyguards pushed Harvey aside to make way for Eric.
Eric walked out of the elevator without changing his expression. He withdrew his cold gaze from Selena and walked toward the large conference hall.
Selena regained her expression and looked toward Harvey.
Harvey waved at her, signaling that he was fine and that he would not take it to heart.
He went into the elevator without seeing who was inside earlier.
Afterward, Harvey vaguely felt that the man at the back looked familiar.
The elevator doors slowly closed.
Selena turned around and left.
She went back to the big conference hall.
Unexpectedly, Eric stood at the door and made a phone call before he went in.
The cigarette smoke at his fingertips drifted upward in wisps.
Eric responded to the person on the phone with a low voice, but his gaze landed on Selena.
He did not expect Selena to walk into the hall without raising her head.
It was as if she had not seen him at all.
Selena subconsciously rolled her eyes, but she had turned away from him, so she was sure that he did not see it.
However, the door was reflective.
Thus, Eric noticed how Selena rolled her eyes.
Eric was speechless and furious.
He stopped in his footsteps and did not follow her inside.
She was halfway to success as long as they agreed to think about it.
As soon as the negotiator left, the young shop owner could not help but sigh.
“Selena, you’re amazing for being so tough! My store is the only thing my parents left me. If I agree with such a cheap compensation, how would I find such a good location to open another store?”
Selena glanced at her and smiled.
“Don't worry, this kind of negotiation is actually not that scary. This is about your own interests, so why do you care about being polite? I’ll even act like a shrew if needed!”
The shop owner nodded in appreciation.
Five minutes later, the negotiators returned.
The person walking at the back was Eric.
The person in front still sat in the main seat and looked at Selena with a smile.
“Ms. Nelson, we have discussed your request. Since you have just finished the renovation, and the cost is relatively high, we are willing to pay an extra $3 million.”
Selena twitched the corner of her mouth.
She was clearly dissatisfied.
The man spoke again.
“However, we have two proposals for you. The first proposal is to add another $3 million to your compensation, but you will not be compensated for other matters in the future. The second proposal is that we won’t pay you the $3 million. Instead, we can design a bar for you on the new site drawings. Ferguson Corporation will also undertake the reconstruction and renovation costs of the bar. Of course, we can also guarantee that there are no competing businesses. What do you think?”
Selena glanced at Eric casually. At a glance, she saw that Eric was looking at her.
The emotions in his eyes were indistinct.
Naturally, Selena was not so presumptuous to think that this was for her benefit.
She did not hesitate and said, “I just want money. Don’t mention anything else.”
The other party was obviously taken aback and wanted to continue to persuade her.
“Ms. Nelson, you have a regular source of customers, and your business is also very good. If your bar is rebuilt by our designer, it will definitely be on a higher level. It’s not a loss for you to stay here.”
Selena’s eyes were cold. “I said, I want money.”
