Meeting The Neighbors 2

Jenny served the tea to the two individuals who were both looking serious and professional before taking her seat while looking at both of them without any intention of interfering in the conversation.

She knew that she was not in a place to intervene even though she was Selena's P.A, She is not good at handling people, and she only gets the post because she was Selena's best friend, She gets nervous at the sight of influential people and mostly because she felt inferior to them most times.

" Mr. Cole, please help yourself with some tea," Selena said with her usual professional smile as she picked up the cup of tea served by Jenny gracefully.

Albert picked up the tea as of courtesy, he took a sip of the tea and commented "Nice tea"

"Thank you," Selena said still wearing a professional smile on her face.

"Miss Green, we would love for you to give up this house because it's not for sale and we are willing to compensate you for the stress we cause you and give you another house in the estate, We are sorry but the salesperson that attends to you is new and yet to have an idea of how things work here," Albert said calmly looking at Selena's face for the sign of any emotion but unfortunately Selena still maintains that calm look on her face as she places the teacup down gracefully.

" Mr. Cole, why don't I just pay you guys more money and allow me to keep this house, I won't lie, I like this house best among all the houses that are up for sale, it's not the biggest but it gives out a warm and cozy feeling like that of a home so I'm not willing to give it up," Selena said calmly not minding the troubled look on Albert's face.

"But Miss Green, this house belongs to my boss and he's also not willing to give it up and I don't think there's any amount you can give to my boss to my boss that can astonish him except if you think that you are richer than him" Albert was said calmly still looking for the sign of any reaction from Selena but she still not faze even though his last sentence might sound a little sarcastic.

"Well you're right Mr. Cole, Your boss is richer than me but I don't think any businessman can throw away the chance to earn extra for a commodity that he can always get the same type because every penny is important to a businessman so why don't you stop making decisions for you boss and let him consider my proposal," Selena said with a hint of mockery in her tone as she can not take the insult of someone talking to her rudely in her house.

"So those that mean no deal, Miss Green," Albert said sternly with a frown evident on his face

"Yes Mr. Cole, no deal, I am not willing to give up my house," Selena said calmly.

" Are you sure of the decision you are about to make, Miss Green? " Albert said sternly hoping he could intimidate her a little but unfortunately he was bound to be disappointed because Selena did not show any reaction.

" I'm sure of my decision so I don't need you to worry about me, Mr. Cole," Selena said calmly.

"Then I hope you won't regret it, Miss Green," Albert said sternly still hoping that she would change her decision but Selena has proven to be even more stubborn than Thalia.

"Seems like all the Greens are born stubborn, " Albert thought to himself.

"Don't worry I won't, Mr. Cole, I'm sorry I won't be able to see you out because as you can see I'm planning to go out soon so can you kindly be on your way now," Selena said with a polite smile on her face even though her words are not polite.

"Seems like Miss Green is starting to grow impatient if that's the case then I will be on my way," Albert said as he got up and brought a card out of his pocket.

"But in case you reconsider my offer, here is my card, You can call me and tell me what you want as compensation, Good day," Albert said calmly before leaving.

Has Albert gets to the gate, he looks back once more and shakes his head slightly before saying to himself, "I knew that it's going to be hard to get the house back, I just hope she reconsiders my offer" he then leaves the estate to report of the result to his boss.

Back in the house.

"Selena, why did you refuse his offer, it's not like you are losing from the deal he wants to make with you and the whole thing will only benefit you," Jenny asked as she was quite curious about her friend's decision.

" Jenny this is why I told you to pay more attention when making deals with people because sometimes what you want to give out may be more valuable than what you thought it's worth," Selena said calmly.

Looking at her ignorant friend's curious look made her chuckle softly as she finds her quite cute currently like a child that is waiting for her mother to tell the next part of a story.

" I only did that to find out how valuable the house Is to the V.L C.E.O. so I can know the type of compensation I will ask from him because I don't think the house that V.L C.E.O wants to get back is an ordinary house, it might signify or hold some important secret to him so I don't want to lose such a great opportunity," Selena said calmly but her eyes hold a cunning glint.

"Wow, Selena, you are so smart but wait, what if he decides to give up the house Don't you think you are losing an opportunity then," Jenny said with a confusing look on her face yet her face held worship for her best friend like that of a fangirl seeing her favorite idol.

"Well I don't think I will lose either way because I like the house a lot but I doubt that Mr. Campbell will be willing to give up the house because most rich people don't put much importance on their properties except for their ancestry home so for you to see his P. A then he's definitely coming back" Selena said as she picked up the teacup.

"So that's it, you've always been the smarter one, I don't even think of that," Jenny said feeling slightly ashamed of herself.

"It's not that I'm the smarter one it's just that you are most times lazy to think so don't faze about it because you are also extraordinary in your way," Selena said giving her friend a charming.

" Now let me be on my way, There is some food packed in the refrigerator so heat it and eat if I'm back late, No eating of junk ok?" Selena said sternly

"OK boss," Jenny said jokingly and waved to Selena as she walked out of the house and made her way to the garage.
