The other party fell silent and glanced anxiously at Eric, who was on the side.
Eric’s eyes were cold and sharp.
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?”
