Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 225 I've been waiting for you all day
"You came to see me now because you didn't make an appointment for the wooden floor earlier? Although I like you and should give you some, considering the face of Master Butler, you should understand that everything in my house needs to be reserved three years in advance. It's difficult for me to provide any wood on short notice."
Harrison's words were sincere, and Selena smiled.
"Mr. Rockefeller, I heard that in the past few years, some customers made mistakes in estimating the delivery date or had problems with their orders, resulting in returns. I don't expect you to give me someone else's order, but if there are any returns, can you give me the opportunity to purchase them? I will offer a good price." Harrison didn't hesitate this time.
"What is your name?" "Selena."
Harrison smiled, "Since you are Mr. Butler's disciple, and I you would owe me a favor, then please stay and help me finish a painting. Then, if there are any order returned in the future, I will contact you first." "Thank you in advance, Mr. Rockefeller."
The painting Harrison asked her to work on wasn't complicated. Someone had already started it but stopped for some reason. Selena wanted to continue it, by making it more lively, but she didn't know the original owner's intention, which made it a bit challenging.
However, her mind was filled with inspiration, and she added some interactive elements to the originally rigid content, making the painting come to life.
Three hours later, she completed the painting. During that time, a servant brought her tea.
Harrison's tea was quite exquisite, the top-grade Da Hong Pao.
Just as Selena was about to reach for it, she heard a sweet female voice outside.
"Dad, isn't Raymond supposed to come today?"
"What? I've been waiting all morning, why isn't it here yet!"
Selena's hand froze as she followed the voice and saw a well-dressed girl in her twenties walking towards the door.
The girl saw Selena and then glanced at the painting, her face filled with anger.
"You! How dare you casually touch someone else's things, so rude!"
She walked over in big strides, wanting to grab the painting.
Harrison scolded, "You are showing no respect for you elders. I asked Selena to paint this. It has been here for a month, meant to test your abilities, but you've been running around New York all day, and hardly started it!" "I did start! I've painted a few things, but you weren't satisfied!"
In an instant, Selena understood. The original content on the painting was the test, meant to challenge the imagination of the artist.
She had graduated from the New York Art Institute and had encountered similar tests in her previous classes.
The girl sneered at Selena, "Pretentious. At least I got into the New York Art Institute. The last thing I painted was exhibited at school."
She's also a student from the art institute?
Selena looked up and glanced at the girl. She wasn't from Mia's year, maybe she was Mia's senior.
Harrison felt helpless, rubbing his forehead with his hand.
"Come and see how someone else painted. I showed painting to your teacher and he gave it a perfect score."
"How is that possible? Our teacher always deducts points, never giving a perfect score. Is this person related to the teacher?!" Rosalind Rockefeller couldn't help but scoff, but then her eyes brightened as she heard voices outside. "Dad, Raymond is here!"
Harrison sighed, and then heard Rosalind teasing the newcomer outside.
"Raymond, it's been so long since you visited my dad!"
Raymond was followed by John, who had several gifts in his hands, and handed them to the servant next to him.
Inside the house, Raymond didn't expect Selena to still be there. The business talk shouldn't have taken this long. Either Harrison had rejected her directly, or Selena had told him that Raymond needed these floorings for his house and Harrison agreed.
Either way, the matter should have ended quickly.
Rosalind had already linked arms with Raymond and looked up at him with a smile.
"I've been waiting for you all day."
