My Billionaire Mom novel 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.

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.
