Chapter 2554 Guest Role
Soon, Selena only stayed there for a few seconds before she jumped off Eric’s lap.
Her phone rang.
Selena picked it up and heard Mr. Griffin’s voice come through.
“Selena, we’ll start filming next month. I’ll arrange your cameo role to be the first to shoot, so remember to come over when it’s your turn.”
“So soon?”
“Yes. You can finish the shoot early and go back to take care of Mr. Ferguson. I specially arranged this time for you. Is it convenient?”
How could she say otherwise if she just had a cameo role?
“Sure. I’ll go then.”
“Okay.”
Selena hung up the phone.
Eric sat there.
The rocking chair did not move.
His face was serious, but he quickly regained his expression.
“Do you really want to join showbiz? The entertainment circle is complicated. With your character, you might get ousted.
Eric just did not want Selena to be corrupted.
Compared with those women in the entertainment industry, Selena was a goddess.
Even though he said this, he still made the investment.
However, he would not tell Selena that he was only investing in Mr. Griffin’s movie because of her.
Although Selena was annoyed at Eric’s undermining attitude, she also knew that she did not have the talent.
“I know. I’m just a cameo. My idol got this opportunity for me, so I must go. This is probably my last guest appearance in the entertainment industry. Anyway, I have nothing to do since the bar will be closed soon.”
As Selena spoke, her emotions did not fluctuate much.
On the other hand, Eric was slightly taken aback. He stretched out his hand.
“Selena.”
Selena walked over and sat on his lap gently this time.
“Are you blaming me for closing your bar? It was a plan by the government. Or are you unhappy with the compensation amount? $4 million is the highest amount they can offer. If you’re not satisfied, I’ll make up the extra $2 million for you, okay?”
Eric took her hand, put it to his lips, and kissed it gently. He was coaxing her patiently.
Selena blushed, and the back of her ears felt a little hot.
Eric did not tell her that they did not agree with the original $4 million either and would only increase by 30% at most.
Selena’s request was somewhat unreasonable.
However, he came forward and made a final decision of $4 million.
Eric knew that Selena’s price was actually not as high as $6 million, but he did not call her bluff.
Selena paused, sighed, and gently leaned on his shoulders, sitting there quietly.
“Forget it. In fact, I only planned to ask for $2 million at the beginning. $4 million is more than enough!”
Eric was speechless.
He reached out to pinch her chin, then lowered his head and kissed her.
Their lips and teeth collided, and both of them trembled slightly.
They always got along well physically.
Eric could not see, so his movements were a little unorthodox, and he could only kiss her outline slowly.
Both of them were a little emotional.
Eric could not see Selena’s misty eyes, but he was a little aggressive.
He had not kissed her for a long time, so he really missed her.
The two of them kissed for a long time. In the end, Selena was almost out of breath.
She patted him on the shoulder and stopped.
They sat quietly for a while.
Eric spoke in a low and hoarse voice.
“Why don’t you want a new bar? The newly planned bar might be better than your current one. If you buy another one, the location won’t be as nice as your current one.”
Selena paused.
She came to her senses.
She just did not want to have anything to do with him anymore.
Thus, he did not want his handouts.
She wanted to brush this off and got off his lap to get some fruit.
“How will I know it’ll be better than the current one? Before I see the real thing, I might as well ask for money!”
Eric understood, smiled, and nodded.
“Okay. Then I’ll give it to you after it’s completed. I’ll keep the contract for you first. If you’re satisfied, it will still be yours!”
Selena curled her lips. “Are you planning to give it to me?”
Eric said, “I’ll sell it to you at cost price. $4 million should be enough, so don’t rush to spend your $4 million.”
Selena was speechless.
She still had to pay for what she was given.
“Thank you!” Selena kissed him and said sarcastically.
Eric was very satisfied.
His ears were reddish.
The two of them were chatting and laughing. Occasionally, the doctor came in to check on Eric, but that did not disturb them.
They might have guessed who Selena was to Eric, but no one really asked.
Mitchell occasionally came over to ask Eric to sign documents and brought him some clothes.
Selena and Eric lived like they were in paradise.
Their relationship was better than expected.
While they were on a walk, Selena sometimes felt that Eric walked too slowly, so she pushed him with a wheelchair.
As soon as she let go, the wheelchair would roll away.
Eric almost fell to the ground several times, but he skillfully put his feet on the ground and saved his life.
Selena laughed loudly from behind. Eric sat back in the wheelchair helplessly and asked her to push him properly.
In a blink of an eye, a month passed.
Selena occasionally went out to get some fresh air.
In fact, Eric was also bored, but he enjoyed it.
Selena was not a phony person. Since they had reconciled, she held no grudges.
They were just as passionate in bed as before.
That day, Selena went out to get Eric’s clothes and went to the bar first. The business was still booming.
However, news of the demolition had already spread.
As soon as she entered the bar, everyone called her, “Rich woman!”
Selena laughed. “Demolition woman!”
Her bar was about to be demolished.
Everyone went in chatting and laughing. Chaz went over mysteriously.
“Where have you been during this time? Why didn’t you show up here? Are you planning to run away because you feel that you’re going to get rich?”
Selena rolled her eyes at him and sighed.
“I’ve been with my boyfriend, of course.”
“Boyfriend? Have you found a new boyfriend?”
Chaz asked excitedly.
Selena coughed. “It’s still the same one.”
Chaz’s face suddenly collapsed.
“You women have love brains and can be easily conned with a few words. You’re not at all determined!”
He rolled her eyes and left with contempt.
Selena smiled guiltily, caught up to him, and explained the situation. Chaz’s expression softened a little.
She talked about the relocation of the bar and asked Chaz to think about it.
“Actually, I have also visited that place. Although the location isn’t as good as it is now, it’s not bad. This place is about to be revamped, and it’ll be a commercial area. It’s hard to say whether it’ll affect the business of our bar. So, I haven’t decided yet. We have the money. When the planning and design are completed, we can still stay if it’s up to standard. If it’s not good…”
Selena hesitated.
Chaz said the rest for her, “If it’s not good, we’ll miss out on the other bar. Aren’t they already in a hurry to sell it?”
Selena nodded. “This is what I’m worried about. I can only choose one of them with the money I have.”
