Chapter 95 You Can’t Expect Me to Take A Loss
Curtis Hart looked at Sylvia Grant’s radiant smile.
For a moment, he genuinely thought she was just an innocent and carefree girl.
But according to the information he had gathered, this woman was anything but innocent and carefree.
Curtis pondered for a moment and decided not to dive straight into the topic of signing the
contract.
He figured he might not get another chance to have a nice meal with her, so he didn’t want to miss this opportunity.
He decided to push everything back and talk about business after they finished eating.
Sylvia had been waiting for Curtis to speak up, but after a long wait, he still hadn’t made a
move.
This made her quite curious, but she also instantly felt less anxious.
She just wanted to see how long he could hold out.
The dishes were soon served.
Curtis picked up a piece of salmon belly and placed it in Sylvia’s bowl.
“Their sashimi is really good, Miss Grant. You should try it.”
Sylvia loved sashimi, so Curtis’s gesture hit the mark perfectly.
She glanced up at Curtis, genuinely feeling that he was quite considerate, which made her like him a bit more.
She hated discussing business over meals, so Curtis not doing so made her very happy.
Sylvia picked up the salmon belly, put it in her mouth, and savored it slowly.
Indeed, as Curtis had said, the salmon belly was excellent.

She even felt a bit regretful for indulging Emiliano Rogers and Otis Frank.
She should have come here earlier to enjoy this feast.
After trying every dish, Sylvia’s focus returned to the salmon belly.
Although many people would find it cloying after a few pieces, to her, it was the best thing
ever.
Seeing her enjoy the salmon belly like a lovely cat, Curtis asked, “Would you like to order another plate?”
Sylvia thought for a moment, considering that it might not be easy to get a reservation in the future, and said, “Sure.”
Soon, a second plate of salmon belly was brought out.
Sylvia had no intention of sharing it with Curtis and ate piece after piece.
Finally, after finishing the second plate of salmon belly, Sylvia patted her stomach, feeling truly full.
Curtis then poured her a cup of tea.
Sylvia took a sip of the tea and then said seriously, “Mr. Hart, you really have a lot of patience. You haven’t mentioned the contract at all, making me think you might not actually want to sign with me.”
“I sincerely want to invite Miss Grant. I just don’t know if Miss Grant will give me this honor,” Curtis said.
Sylvia smiled and said, “I don’t understand. We only met last night, and Mr. Hart shouldn’t have a good impression of me. Now you want me to give you this honor. Do you think you are very special to me?”
This question left Curtis momentarily speechless.
Indeed, given their interaction last night, it didn’t seem like they would be doing each other any favors.
He suddenly felt a bit regretful, even wishing he could turn back time.
That way, at least last night, after quickly weighing the pros and cons, he might have given

her the five million she asked for.

Then, he would have more confidence in signing her and making more money off her.
Just thinking about it made Curtis feel like he had lost out.
Normally, Curtis was a very deep thinker, and it was impossible for anyone to see through his thoughts.
But Sylvia Grant had dealt with many people like Curtis over the years, so she had long since figured out their mindset and naturally understood their thoughts.
Just a change in his expression was enough for her to guess what Curtis was thinking.
So, Sylvia didn’t beat around the bush and said to Curtis, “Actually, I don’t lack money. Entering the celebrity circle isn’t that tempting for me.”
Hearing this, Curtis didn’t rush to persuade her. Instead, he waited for Sylvia to continue.
Sure enough, as he expected, Sylvia’s tone changed, and she said, “But it is a field I’ve never ventured into. I have to admit that I’m very curious, and this curiosity makes me want to give it a try.”
Hearing this, Curtis secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
This was good.
At least this way, he could make some money off her.
Seeing the undisguised calculation in Curtis’s eyes, Sylvia chuckled and said, “Mr. Hart, is it really okay to be so opportunistic?”
“I believe I’m being honest with Miss Grant. This shows that I’m straightforward with you and have no ulterior motives,” Curtis said.
Sylvia chuckled and said, “Mr. Hart, don’t you think that by explaining this so eagerly, you’re actually revealing that you do have ulterior motives? Otherwise, why would you be so quick to tell me you don’t?”
Having navigated between different men and women for so long, she often understood their inner thoughts better than they did.
So, Curtis’s words were not convincing to her.

At least, not to her.

Especially since the look in Curtis’s eyes didn’t suggest he had no ulterior motives.
Curtis was at a loss for words and fell silent, thinking carefully.

After a while, he said, “Maybe I haven’t realized it myself, but my eyes have already betrayed me. However, Miss Grant, don’t judge me so quickly. I need time to prove myself.”
Sylvia nodded, indicating her understanding.
In that case, it wasn’t so hard to accept.
She didn’t continue the topic but circled back to the issue of the contract.
Sylvia said, “Mr. Hart, you should already know from last night that while I don’t lack money, I love money. So, if you think you can squeeze money out of me, I advise you to drop that idea. Otherwise, if you make me unhappy, it won’t do you any good.”
Curtis looked at Sylvia in surprise, not expecting her to be so blunt.
He chuckled and said, “Miss Grant, you can’t expect me to take a loss, can you?”
