His Heiress Wife (Retika)

Chapter 10: To Negotiate 

Back at the Harrison's family manor.

Inside the luxurious living room full of exquisite furniture, two men with very different personalities leaned back on the sofa to rest.

Compared to Iven's crooked posture against his sofa, Seth's posture was better yet unusually bold.

Seth who was reviewing and typing his work through the computer on his lap, sat straighter than he did back then when he was in the army.

Iven couldn't help but shake his head at Seth's form.

Some people were born to be abnormal, and they couldn't think about it with ordinary people's thoughts.

A servant came by to announce something.

"Mr.Harrison, Miss Melody Sullivan is here to see you!"

After hearing it, lven turned over and jumped into the seat in front of him.

"Isn't that your fiancee? The Sullivan girl from the countryside?"

When Seth looked up from his computer to stare at him, Iven immediately shut his mouth.

After he stopped talking, Seth turned to the servant.

"Bring her in!"

Although lIven was extremely curious as to why Seth all of a sudden would let her be brought in, knew better than to test his temper.

He decided to avoid asking to save his life.

"I'm going upstairs!"

Just as lven left, Melody arrived in the living room.

After entering the ridiculously large room, Melody looked around and immediately found where Seth was sitting.She slowly walked over to him and stood in his opposite direction.

"Do you mind if I sit down?"

Her tone was cold, not particularly welcoming towards him.

Seth turned from his laptop screen to look at her.

Just like the day of the funeral, she was still wearing a white T-shirt, except that she changed her black casual pants into tight jeans.

The blue jeans perfectly hugged every curve of her legs, which made it look slender and kind of straight.

She was beautiful no doubt, but the aura that surrounded her was abnormally cold, and arrogance lied between her brows.

This made Seth feel that they were the same type of a person.

After Seth nodded, Melody slowly sat down.

"We're both smart people, let's not beat around the bush."

Seth drew back his gaze from her.

His voice was low, chilling but also a bit tired.

"What did you come here for?"

Melody agreed with his statement.She didn't plan to beat around the bush with Seth and got straight to the point.She took out a flash drive and then inserted it into the laptop that Seth had set down earlier.She showed him a document and proceeded to say the next words without any warmth.

"Take a look.Then sign if there's no problem."

[Engagement Agreement]

Seth read the title.

He looked through the contents of the document and suddenly smiled.He had signed all kinds of contracts in his life, but this was the first time he read a contract that would make him its own slave.

This woman had the audacity to make it.

She wanted to use 20 percent of the Sullivan's shares in his company to buy a one-year marriage.

‘'Who does she think she is?”

"What if I don't agree to this?"

He looked at Melody calmly, but his gaze was cold and could have chilled her to the bone.

But it didn't.

Melody didn't seem to be surprised by his reaction.

Her delicate face remained just as it was as if nothing could faze her.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

"Then I'll make you agree."

Her voice was filled with solid determination.

Finally, Seth relaxed onto the sofa and pressed his entire back against it.

He squinted at Melody with a subtle grin on his face.

"I'd like to see you try"

Melody nodded once, stood up, and then left the Harrisons residence.

A glint of playfulness appeared in his deep eyes as he watched her go.

After she left, lven came down from the stairs.

He saw the documents on the table, and then reached out to take them.

Seth grabbed a toothpick in his hands, and then in a second, he heard lven scream out in pain.

"Ah!"

The thin toothpick was flicked across from Seth and was now firmly stabbed into Iven's hand.

Iven drew it back away from the documents.

He nearly forgot about Seth's taboo.

Iven's curiosity literally almost killed him.

He turned around and smiled sheepishly as he walked forward to apologize.

"Seth!"

But before he could even finish his sentence, Seth already headed upstairs with his things in his arms.

As Seth disappeared into the next floor, he called over his shoulder.

"You can leave now!"

Iven stared at his retreating figure, and at the direction he went to.He silently stroked his chin in deep thought.

"It's so strange."

He mused to himself.

"Could it be that Seth is really interested in that Sullivan girl? Out of all the top socialites in California that chased after him, how could he have fallen for a girl from the countryside? What a strange world they lived in!”
