Chapter 490
Selena felt that it was good that she experienced this kind of life. As she thought about it carefully, it would be better for her to just be an actress.
All she needed to do was to memorize her lines.
"That's how business is, but you didn't want to listen to me. It's not too late to change your mind now," Everleigh said with a hint of playfulness in her voice as she leaned back on the sofa.
Selena looked down. She was more willing to face these things compared to facing Leon and Jorben.
Alastair saw Selena's distress and said calmly, "For business, you must be able to look far ahead. When you are in trouble, you need to promise us that you will calm down."
Selena and Everleigh looked at him. Selena's eyeballs almost rolled out as she stared at him in amazement.
"How do you know so much?"
"This is what Grandpa taught me. He said that I must be broad- minded," Alastair responded patiently.
Selena was shocked and thought that there was no way that a child was better than her. She didn't believe her eyes, so she quickly took out a file from the bag in her hand and handed it over to him.
"Alastair, take a look at this. If it was you, what would you do?" She asked.
He didn't hesitate. He took the file and looked through it; his dark eyes were serious.
Selena couldn't look down on him because of his serious attitude.
A few minutes later, he had thought of a solution, and had even pointed out a few areas that needed correction.
"Aunt Selena, take a good look at this. You must make sure that the amount of money is correct so that you won't be deceived. There are many traps in the contract," he said.
Selena was shocked. There was absolutely no way that this child was better than her. She had been studying this contract for an entire afternoon, but she still couldn't figure out what's wrong with it.
She turned around, looked at Everleigh, and said, "How about letting Alastair run the business of the Trevino family? I'll go and be an actress again."
"Since the very beginning I've already reminded you to focus on acting, but you didn't listen at all," Everleigh replied. She wasn't suited for business either so she did not want to comment much.
Selena sighed softly and said, "I'd better continue to be an actress. I won't go to the company tomorrow anymore."
"If you really want Alastair to run the company, you will still get more shares. You can be assured that Trevino Group will still be yours and it won't change," Everleigh said. Although she knew that Selena was not such a person, she still wanted to make things clear. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Alastair's aim for learning how to manage was not for the money, but he wanted his father to have a capable successor.
Selena raised her head and said, "It's not like I can't earn money."
"That's not the same. What's yours is yours. If I was the daughter of the Trevino family, do you think I'll let you have it?" Everleigh said as she almost burst out with laughter.
Selena knew she was joking.
She used to be concerned about it in the past, but after going abroad, she didn't care about it anymore.
Although she was rich, she still didn't have her family with her. So what was the value of her existence?
At that moment, Abraham, who was standing at the corner of the corridor, heard everything, and he was very satisfied in his heart.
He knew that Selena was not suitable for business from the beginning, so he did not stop her when she said she wanted to become an artist.
He wanted to rely on Everleigh, but he didn't expect that... He still couldn't do it.
It wouldn't be a bad thing if Alastair could take up the responsibility. At least the family could still be together.
Furthermore, the Trevino family's shares would not fall into other people's hands too.
He felt very comforted. He turned around and returned to the study. He took out his will and redistributed the shares.
The next day, Selena put on her favorite clothes and went straight to the company.
She needed to compensate for the rest she took before this and she took care of some matters.
When she entered, she saw Leon standing at the door.
The boss of the entertainment company was with him and nobody knew what they were talking about.
Selena was shocked. Leon turned his head and saw her standing at the door, staring at him.
His mouth curved into a beautiful arc.
"Boss."
"Selena, from this day onward, Leon is the boss of the company."
Her face froze. She looked at him and asked, "Why do you want to acquire the company?"
"Don't you already know it's because of you? Why do you ask again?" Leon said openly.
The previous boss widened his eyes when he heard this.
Was his own company being sold for such circumstances?
"Leon, how could you be so capricious?" Selena asked.
He raised his head proudly and said, "It doesn't matter what I do as long as I'm happy. Selena, do you still remember what I said the last time we met?"
She remembered the time when they met at the theater. She was annoyed by his physical contact. She told him directly that there was no possibility between them.
However, he still didn't give up. He also told her that he would do everything he could. She didn't expect that he would appear again before her eyes.
"Don't think that you can leave because your contract is in my hands now. If you want to leave, you have to prepare to pay for it," Leon said with his eyes full of amusement. He was sure that she would not dare to leave.
"Well, I'll continue to act. The contract is only valid for one more year. After one year, I'm going to leave," she spoke with a gloomy face. She'd rather leave and struggle alone than to stay there.
He nodded and said, "It's normal for you to have such a great idea."
She snorted and went straight out, not even bothering to protect her image.
When the previous boss saw this, he was embarrassed. Selena was not like this before. Why was she so different after she came back from abroad?
"Mr. Allen."
"It doesn't matter. I'm used to it. However, I would like to ask, is there a new play recently?"
"Yes, it's currently in the revision phase. It'll still need some time."
"Then let Selena be part of the cast. Is the editor still Jorben?" Leon asked as he gritted his teeth.
The previous boss said calmly, "Yes, Jorben is a good editor. Every play of his will surely become popular."
"Then let's use him," Leon ordered. He wanted to kill this guy in his heart so that he could stay away from Selena.
However, he also knew that once things had started, she would ignore him even more and she would also feel that he was a villain.
He had to endure everything slowly.
When Leon walked out of the company, he received a phone call from Theodore. "What's the matter?" He asked.
"Come and meet me. I have something to say to you."
Leon raised his eyebrows. Theodore wouldn't simply look for him unless it was for a special occasion.
"I'll be there soon."
Their companies were very near each other, just two streets away.
He drove to Theodore's company.
Then, he went straight to his office.
"What can I do for you? I'm very busy." Leon sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, acting like a dandy.
Theodore's eyes flashed. "Do you think you can stay with her just because you've bought the company?" He asked.
"How do you know about that?" Leon's face froze. He had just discussed and agreed on this matter. How could he find out so soon?
"Selena was studying management in the Trevino family and found out that acting was more suitable for her, so she went back to acting," Theodore explained.
Leon rolled his eyes at him. He really didn't want to listen to any nonsense.
"Why did you call me?"
"Take a look at this. You're a member of the Allen family, so you are the most appropriate person to look at it," Theodore said and threw some documents to him.
Leon reached out his hand to take the documents. He opened it and scanned through the information, then suddenly his eyes widened.
"When did this happen?" "I just received the news this morning."
