Sure enough, Mr. Griffin stood there with a pale and scrunched-up face.
He was stunned for a few seconds. Then, he gulped and quickly said, “Mr. Ferguson, don’t keep the time! I’ll leave right now…”
Mr. Griffin took his things and ran out as fast as he could.
“I left! I left!”
When the bar fell silent, Selena could not help but laugh out loud.
“Okay, he’s gone now. You can hang up.”
Selena said to the man on the phone.
“Wait a minute. Um, Selena, what color flowers do you like?”
Selena was speechless.
She thought she had misheard him and wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.
As a result, Eric asked again patiently, “What color of flowers do you like?”
Selena pursed her lips. “Why? Do you want to buy me flowers? Just get me any color. I guess it depends on what the old lady on the street sells.”
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Selena thought it was a little funny.
The flowers that Eric bought her last time were unsold leftover flowers from the old lady on the street. Eric bought them out of charity and said the petals could be used for a bath.
It was strange for Eric to buy her flowers because he was not a romantic person.
It was better to be more realistic.
Eric was speechless.
He looked at the phone screen in silence and felt frustrated.
It was all Mr. Griffin’s fault for affecting Eric’s mood.
A group of people in the conference room looked at Eric with trepidation.
They were just asking about the color scheme of the proposal scene. Why was Eric’s face so glum?
“Mr. Ferguson, what color does your fiancee like? White?”
“Too dull.”
“Pink?”
“Lame.”
“Red?”
“Typical.”
“Blue?”
“Boring!”
Eric retorted to their ideas impatiently.
Everyone had nothing to say. They all lowered their heads and fell silent.
Eric was such a difficult person to work for. Earning his money was not easy!
“Mr. Ferguson, what should we choose…?”
“Expensive ones.”
“The more expensive the better!”
Eric emphasized it again. He took a deep breath and immediately stood up.
“Get ready before 7:00 pm tonight. I will take her there. Don’t ruin my marriage proposal!”
Everyone was speechless.
They were all flustered.
Selena and Chaz were cleaning.
After Mr. Griffin left, Chaz received a call.
There was a storefront for rent not too far from their current bar. Thus, Chaz told Selena in surprise.
They checked before that there were no storefronts for rent, so they did not pin their hopes on it at all.
However, the surprise came too suddenly. The two of them took their things and went over to meet the agent, who was waiting there.
“I know that you guys wanted this area, so I contacted you first. This location is amazing, but it’s not as big as your current bar. It’s about 200 square meters. This used to be a private restaurant. Look, even the entrance is made of wooden double doors. If you don’t open the door and come in, no one will know what’s going on inside. The owner of the store is going abroad, but he doesn’t want to sell it, so he’s entrusting us to rent it out. However, there is one condition. The layout of this store can’t be changed or renovated casually. It’s because they might move back and restart the restaurant. But as compensation, they will ask for a slightly lower price.”
After the agent finished speaking, he opened the mineral water bottle and took a few sips.
Selena and Chaz went in to have a look. They were very satisfied.
