Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 505 The Disregard of Sentiments

His brow furrowed in thought, then suddenly relaxed into a chuckle. "Alright, one hundred and fifty million it is. I'll cast Austin as the lead. But can you really come up with that much money?" he asked. Selena nodded confidently, her voice steady, "As long as Mr. Alex agrees, the money will be transferred by tomorrow."

He probed further, "Do you like Austin?"

"It's merely admiration," she replied, her gaze unwavering.

Alex found the situation even more amusing. He had always enjoyed watching the complicated entanglements between men and women unfold.

"Deal," he said, leaning back in his chair. "Transfer the funds to my account by nine tomorrow morning. Once the money is in, I'll immediately notify Austin to take on the lead role."

A wave of delight spread across Selena's face, her lips curving into a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Alex. May I invite you to dinner as a token of appreciation?"

Alex reclined casually, waving her off. "No need, you can leave now. I need to continue with my companion."

The frustration was still unbearably palpable.

Selena stood up rapidly, as if set on fire, quickly nodding and then hastily departing.
