Chapter 2543 Fair Trade
The other party fell silent and glanced anxiously at Eric, who was on the side.
Eric’s eyes were cold and sharp. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
Selena had gotten over their breakup after not seeing each other for more than three months.
For a moment, Eric’s heart clenched tightly.
It was painful.
There was a moment of silence.
The young store owner could not help but ask, “Then can I also choose from $3 million and the new
location? I want to choose the new location.”
The negotiator smiled and shook his head.
“Although your shop and Ms. Nelson’s bar are facing each other, the size and style are different. Your
store isn’t within our new development scope, but we can give you an additional compensation of
$500,000 which is enough for you to buy a new space.”
The young lady nodded regretfully.
She also understood these differentiating factors, which made sense.
Half a million dollars more was better than nothing.
Another man sitting opposite them who had been silent this whole time seemed to be staring at Selena.
Seeing this, the negotiator immediately took out the young lady’s contract and handed it over.
“If you’re satisfied with the proposal, please sign here. However, it needs to be kept secret because not
everyone can get an additional $500,000 compensation like you. We just think that you have it harder
than others because you’re alone. You’re also honest, which isn’t the case for others.”
The young lady’s eyes flashed, and she nodded in a daze.
Then, she took a pen and signed her name.
Everyone went out one after another to go through the formalities.
In the end, Selena and Eric were left in the reception room.
Eric stayed back on purpose.
His face was cold and unfriendly.
Eric had always been like this. When he did not deliberately conceal his sharpness and sternness, he
seemed cold and unapproachable.
He was reserved.
Selena waited for a few minutes.
The negotiators did not come back with her contract.
She lost her patience and stood up with her phone.
Just when she was about to go out, the man behind her said in a nonchalant and deep voice, “It’s
impossible for you to buy a bar with the same conditions in the same location for $3 million, so just pick
the other option.”
This was his concession.
He would not cheat her, even in the past.
Selena glanced sideways. “We’re all adults here, Mr. Ferguson. I’ll make my own choices, and I’ll also
keep my promise.”
Just like when he told her not to regret her choice of breaking up with him.
Yes, she had no regrets.
However, Eric regretted it.
Eric’s expression became tense, and his lips were pursed into a straight line.
In the end, Selena chose to get $4 million in compensation.
That was because she was dissatisfied with $3 million, but Ferguson Corporation did not agree with $6
million.
This was what Eric was like when he was talking about business.
The biggest concession he could make was to tell Selena her best option.
However, he would not take any losses either.
Thus, both sides compromised a bit and finalized on $4 million.
It would take a week for the money to arrive in Selena’s account, but Selena was still cooperative and
went through all the procedures.
Chaz reluctantly wrapped up everything in the bar.
He packed the stuff and his bags.
On the other hand, Selena acted like everything was normal and tidied up her things in a leisurely
manner.
In the end, Chaz became a little anxious. “Boss, you don’t even have a home. Where will you put your
things?”
Selena glanced at him lightly. “What’s the rush? There’s still a month left before the relocation.”
‘You have to be prepared just in case. By the way, what about the employees’ severance pay? Also,
should we pack up these things and sell them so that we can recover some of the costs?”
Seeing Chaz chattering on, Selena could not help but smile.
“Chaz, I have my eye on a new location. The contract can be signed when the owner returns from
abroad, which will be about half a month later. So, you don’t have to worry.”
Chaz was startled and ran over happily. “Really? Will I still be the bar manager?”
“Certainly.”
Selena proudly raised her chin.
Chaz happily announced the good news to others.
Selena sighed.
She did not really like that new location because it was very close to the Nelson Residence.
If she opened her bar there, it would be easy to bump into the people she did not want to meet.
However, at this moment, that place was the most suitable one.
Ferguson Corporation.
Eric returned to the office. The project progressed smoothly.
Although everyone disagreed at the beginning, the negotiators were very professional and had done
research on different people.
Thus, they got through to everyone, and the results were promising.
When Eric returned, Mitchell saw Eric’s blank face and knew that he had made no progress with
Selena.
It would be weird if Eric made any progress!
Selena kept the skirt that Harvey signed and treasured it.
A few days later, Selena received a call from an unfamiliar number, so she hung up without thinking.
The number called again.
Seeing the caller’s perseverance, Selena reluctantly picked it up.
“Who is this?”
“Ms. Nelson, I’m Harvey Sage. I promised to take you out, remember?”
The voice over the phone was clear and pleasant.
Selena was both surprised and delighted. “I remember! I’m really flattered that you called me!”
Harvey laughed. “Shall we go golfing if you have time this afternoon? A few actors and directors will be
joining as well. They really want to work with you.”
While Selena was excited, she was a little apprehensive.
“But I’m not in showbiz, and I don’t plan to make a debut. Will it be awkward if I join you guys abruptly?”
Harvey’s voice was gentle, slow, and patient.
Selena could not refuse.
She did not ask Harvey to pick her up and drove to the clubhouse by herself.
Harvey informed the staff in advance, so Selena met with Harvey and his group without a hitch.
Harvey saw her and waved happily. Then, he dropped the things in his hand and walked over.
“Ms. Nelson, thanks for showing up!”
Selena was a little embarrassed. “You’re welcome, Harvey.”
Harvey took her arm smoothly, walked into the crowd, and introduced loudly.
“Our pretty lady is here!”
Everyone happily came over to say hello. They all looked casual and joyful.
Since Selena came across a good cast and script, she was hopeful for the new TV show.
Everyone was aware that Harvey had recommended someone to play a role in the TV show.
The forty-year-old actress was still popular, and everyone suddenly showed an interest in this kind of
self-reliant celebrity.
Moreover, she had good acting skills. Thus, she was not like the other dumb young actresses that had
investors as their backers.
