Orion's face flashed with anger at Larry's comment, but he forced a smile and said, "I'll have a word with Selena."
He glanced at Selena. "Come outside for a moment."
Selena responded simply, "Okay."
Her calm demeanor left Orion with no outlet for his frustration, only making him more furious.
Once they were outside the private room, he grabbed her arm and pulled her to the end of the hallway, his expression livid. "What are you trying to do?"
Selena pulled her arm free and coolly asked, "Mr. Watson, I should be asking you that what are you trying to do?"
With one hand on his hip and the other pointing toward the private room, Orion struggled to keep his voice in check.
"Do you understand how important this deal is for the company? You're being so impatient! Can't you just properly explain the proposal to Larry? You're still just a small fry, Selena. You're not in a position to act like you've made it!"
Selena calmly replied, "Is it really that important? Because I get the sense that he's just an amateur. The questions he's asking are so basic that even a child on the street would know the answers. How does he even have the nerve to ask them? He's just stirring up trouble."
Orion was livid. "You need to get it through your head-he's the client! We have to beg him to work with us. I really don't know what goes on in your head sometimes!"
"Is that so?" A faint, sarcastic smile appeared on Selena's face. "Do we really need this deal? Because I'm starting to think otherwise."
Her words had a pointed edge.
Orion's expression froze for a moment, his eyes flickering. "In any case, we have to secure this deal tonight. If we don't, it'll be on you!"
With that, Orion stopped wasting his breath and turned back to the room.
Selena stood there, her expression colder than ever. She took out her phone and made a call.
Five minutes later, she returned to the private room.
Orion and Larry had been in the middle of a conversation, but they stopped talking as soon as they saw her. Larry's face still looked displeased.
Thinking that Selena had come to her senses, Orion said, "Mr. Dean, I had a chat with her just now. She has some additional thoughts about the deal. Why don't you let her explain them to you in detail?"
Larry gave a slight nod, his gaze falling on Selena.
"Don't rush," Selena said with a smile. "Mr. Watson, Mr. Dean, you've been here for a while and haven't had a bite to eat, have you? We can discuss the cooperation while we enjoy some food. I've asked the waitstaff to bring in a few of the signature dishes here. How about we take our time and savor them while we talk?"
Orion frowned, wondering what she was up to.
Larry, however, thought Selena had come around, and a smile spread across his face. "It's always nice to have a thoughtful young lady around to take care of things."
At that moment, the private room door opened, and the waitstaff entered. Leading the way was one server, followed by others carrying trays. The servers, dressed in sleek, tailored uniforms, were all strikingly elegant, with poised figures and undeniable charm. Two of them placed dishes in front of Larry and then sat on either side of him.
Larry's expression changed instantly. "What is this supposed to mean?"
Selena smiled and said, "These are the signature dishes, Mr. Dean. Are you satisfied? If so, we can continue talking about the cooperation-what do you think?"
Larry's face darkened immediately. He stood up abruptly and shouted, "Do you think I'm that kind of person? Mr. Watson, I think we can forget about this deal. I don't see any sincerity from your company at all!" With that, he stormed out in anger.
