Chapter 888 How Will You Tempt Me?
Later, Sebastian and Cherise’s grandmother became close, and her grandmother always brought him a lunchbox.
During those days…
Cherise knew she could never return to those carefree days.
“Can you bring me to pay respects to your grandmother when you’re free?” Sebastian looked at her and continued, “You and your grandmother were the greatest warmth I felt when I first arrived in Shawbury.”
Sebastian was telling the truth this time. Back then, he arrived in Shawbury as a new transfer student. As he was ugly, timid, and chubby, no one paid attention to him.
Cherise, his deskmate, was the only exception. She always cheered him on and helped him with his studies. Whenever Sebastian reminisced about his time in Shawbury, the only person he could recall was Cherise.
“Sure,” Cherise agreed earnestly. “But I might not have much time recently, as my husband needs me…..”
Sebastian chuckled. “You’re an inexperienced new employee. Damien can do without you. You won’t be given any important work to do.”
“That’s not true.” Cherise frowned. “I have an important assignment. I need to…
She immediately stopped herself before she could reveal anything further. Then, she looked at Sebastian and abruptly changed the topic. “I must help my husband the best that I can.” Sebastian and abruptly changed the to
“You have good business acumen.” Sebastian looked at her approvingly. “I hope you can be his best assistant. I also hope that Damien can solve the problem soon. Then, you can take me to see your grandmother.”
Cherise pursed her lips and looked at the man in front of her. She could never tell what he was thinking. In truth, there were many things she wanted to say.
After a while, Cherise finally gathered courage. “Sebastian, you know better than I do what crisis my husband is facing. If you truly want to end this crisis sooner… could you do me a favor and sell the shares that don’t originally belong to the Weiss family to my husband?”
Sebastian picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. “I have no intention of giving back the shares once they are mine.”
“But since you came to me about this matter…” Sebastian smiled at Cherise. “There’s still room for negotiation.”
Cherise’s eyes instantly lit up. “Really?”
“Of course.” Sebastian laughed. “However, Cherise, what are you planning to offer to tempt me to sell these shares to you?”
Cherise was momentarily stunned before vaguely understanding what Sebastian meant.
She took a deep breath and smiled at him. “I can have my husband offer you a higher price. You can state the amount you desire, and I’ll have my husband consider it.”
“Or you can keep a small portion of the shares. When Lenoir Group makes a profit, you will also receive dividends.” There was excitement in her crisp voice.
Sebastian smiled. He gracefully placed the coffee cup down, saying, “Cherise, you’re still too naïve. Do you think I care about money?”
Cherise blinked in astonishment. “But didn’t you just say businessmen are only in it for the money? If you don’t care about profits, what do you care about?”
Sebastian chuckled, “Of course, there are other things I want.”
But his phone rang urgently as soon as he finished speaking. He glanced at the name on the phone screen and stood up calmly. “I have something to attend to, so I’ll leave first.”
“You’re leaving just like that?”.
