My Billionaire Mom

Chapter 187

The assistant followed behind and walked up the stairs. He had worked with Quinn for a year, but it was the first time he had the chance to dine with his boss. He couldn't help but imagine what it would be like.

He felt excited as he walked beside Quinn and took in her body scent.

Quinn surveyed the area and noticed a lot of restaurants that were doing well. She figured that the prospects of the plaza seemed promising and she was even more motivated to purchase the place.

"Hey, boss, look, isn't that Zabrina Yalden?" The assistant said as he suddenly noticed two people coming out of a restaurant.

He didn't know the man, but he recognised the woman with sunglasses as the celebrity, Zabrina Yalden.

Quinn looked over and realised that it was indeed Zabrina. Their company had once invited her to sing at their annual dinner party before she got popular. Hence, they sort of knew each other.

Zabrina turned and noticed Quinn at the same time. She was surprised and immediately recognised her. She walked over and said, "Hello, President Miller, what are you doing here?"

"Just looking around," Quinn replied simply. She figured that if she really purchased the plaza, she could invite Zabrina for the opening ceremony.

"You're filming here, aren't you?" Quinn asked after she noticed the advertisement.

Zabrina nodded. Some students nearby had recognised her and they wanted to take photos with her. She had no choice but to do so. It was one of the inconveniences of being famous.

"Well, the boss allowed me to film here." Zabrina turned around to introduce Wilbur Wendel, who was standing next to her.

Wilbur had just had dinner with Zabrina, and he seemed to be very fond of her. However, she only dined with him out of politeness. Therefore, when he tried to invite her for a drink, she refused with the excuse that she had to work the next day.

Wilbur felt helpless, but was still content that he had a chance to get to know her.

The assistant was delighted to see Zabrina. It was such a coincidence! However, he knew better than to say anything.

Quinn scanned Wilbur from head to toe, then asked, "Are you the owner of the plaza?"

She was a little surprised to see that the owner of the plaza was so young. No wonder he didn't answer his phone just now. Turns out he was dining with beauty here.

"Well, this square is registered under my name. Hello, I'm Wilbur Wendel." Wilbur greeted her and smiled. Quinn's temperament was appealing, which made him want to get close to her. If it weren't for Zabrina, he would've approached her right away.

Quinn frowned when she noticed Wilbur's disturbing gaze. She hated it when younger men looked at her with such an expression. It reminded her of how Chuck Cannon looked at her, and she felt extremely disgusted.

"Well, I have something to tell you," Quinn said calmly.

"Sure." Wilbur was surprised. This was certainly meant for Chuck, but if he was going to pretend to be the boss, he had to maintain his charade.

Quinn asked directly, "Have you ever thought of selling this plaza?"

She was already feeling very annoyed and frustrated because Chuck had peeked under her dress. Besides, she didn't want to talk to anyone younger than her.

"Selling the plaza?" Wilbur asked in awe. Was this woman trying to buy this place?

Even Zabrina was stunned. She didn't expect Quinn to make such an offer now.

"Yes, we can negotiate the price. I like this plaza quite a lot, so name your price," Quinn said calmly with no emotion in her tone. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Zabrina looked at Wilbur.

Wilbur was speechless. He didn't know how to answer her as he wasn't the real owner. Chuck was! However, he couldn't say that in front of his crush, so he was in a dilemma. Since Quinn had mentioned it, the offer must be attractive, but he didn't know if Chuck was willing to sell the place.

"The plaza is worth 700 million dollars, but I can pay you 800 million." Quinn made an offer.

Wilbur was shocked. The plaza was only worth 500 million dollars when his father sold it. How could the value have increased by 300 million dollars within such a short time?! That meant that Chuck had managed to make 300 million dollars in less than a month.

Quinn was expressionless. Wilbur's surprised look made her think that he was tempted. She was confident that no one would reject an 800 million dollar offer.

As for the assistant, he admired her straightforwardness. She was direct enough to make an offer during their first conversation.

"Well..." Wilbur regretted it. He was even more unsure if Chuck was willing to sell. Even if Chuck was rich, he would be interested in earning an additional 300 million dollars.

"Not satisfied with the price? I can add another 50 million dollars," Quinn blurted.

Wilbur was completely stunned and wondered, "She is willing to add more?!"

He was confused. Was this plaza worth that much? How did he not notice that before?"

"Are you serious?" Wilbur said as he swallowed his saliva.

"Yes. If you agree to the terms, I can transfer a deposit of 50 million dollars to you now."

Wilbur felt that he shouldn't be saying anything else anymore before seeking Chuck's consent. However, he didn't know how to invite him over. If he called Chuck over, Zabrina would find out his identity.

He felt particularly conflicted. He quickly came up with an excuse and said, "Why don't you talk to the plaza manager? I'm busy now."

"I've already talked to her."

"You have?" Wilbur was speechless. He could only smile and said, "In that case, you can speak to my other manager. He will go through the details with you."

"Okay then." Quinn nodded. By the looks of Wilbur's expression, the deal was more or less sealed.

Wilbur heaved a sigh of relief and he immediately called Chuck. After a while, Chuck answered and Wilbur said, "Manager Cannon, someone is here to speak to you about the plaza. Can you come here? We're on the third-floor dining area."

That phone call assured Wilbur that Chuck was going to meet them.

Zabrina was curious. Manager Cannon?

However, Quinn raised her eyebrows and frowned when she noticed someone she detested walking towards her. Was he the manager here?

Chuck was also surprised. What was Quinn doing here? However, since Zabrina was next to Wilbur, he didn't plan to say anything. He figured that it would be best to talk to her as a manager.

Zabrina's beautiful eyes widened as she wondered the same question. Was he the manager here? That was impossible. If he was the manager here, why would a five-star hotel welcome him with the highest treatment? Or why would he be able to invest in movies?

"He's the manager of the plaza?" Quinn stared at Chuck, her voice chilling people to the bone.

"Yes, he's our manager," Wilbur told her. Then, he walked over with a smile and whispered, "Chuck, this person wants to buy the plaza. She offered more than 800 million dollars, so you'd better talk to her yourself."

Chuck thought that Quinn was strange. She was just bidding for a building a while ago, and now she wants to buy the plaza?

"Well, I see. You and Zabrina carry on." Chuck glanced at Zabrina.

Quinn must've realized the value of the plaza since she offered such a high price. However, since Chuck wasn't in need of money, he was unwilling to sell the plaza. He was excited to hear that he could earn an additional 300 million dollars, but he was determined not to sell it.

"Thank you. My treat tomorrow." Wilbur gave Chuck a look that only a man could understand. Chuck nodded speechlessly. He would not go into that kind of place.

"Ask him to leave," Quinn demanded. Of course, that sentence was directed at Wilbur. She didn't want to see that disgusting person who had peeked under her dress.

Wilbur was stunned. What had happened? "This......"

"How could you hire such a person to work in the plaza? It's such a disgrace," Quinn said as she shook her head. She immediately understood why Chuck didn't tell her who his parents were. It was because he was just a normal employee. The apartment was probably purchased by Wilbur, and Chuck was only his helper.

How dare a man like this peek under her dress?

"Is there some kind of misunderstanding?" Wilbur asked. Zabrina also wondered what was going on.

Quinn shot back, "Misunderstanding? It's not a misunderstanding. It was you who asked him to purchase the building, right?"

"What building? What are you talking about?" Wilbur was completely confused.

"There's no need to pretend. You have the capability to buy that building. And now, I have the capability to purchase the plaza. Ask him to leave and I'll talk to you."

Wilbur didn't know what was happening. Chuck just bought a building? What building?

"There's nothing to talk about with you," Chuck said.

"You do not have the right to speak with me. Get out of here!" Quinn said as she glared indifferently at Chuck.

"Well, you don't have the right to stay here," Chuck glanced at her and said.
