Lord Of Succubi:Transmigrated As A Dual Cultivator In Isekai Of Magic

Chapter 362 362 The Atmosphere

When Mary Kay entered Selina's Manor she was greeted by the butler, "How can we help you ma'am" the butler asked. "I am here to see Selina, I have a very important business to discuss with her," Mary Kay said. "Alright ma'am, Please take your sit while I relay your visit to ma'am, she is in a meeting right now."

The atmosphere in Selina's manor shifted as the news of Mary Kay's unexpected visit reached Selina's ears. As Mary Kay settled into a plush seat she was offered a drink and snacks, the housekeeper went on to convey the purpose of her visit to Selina, who was currently engaged in crucial negotiations with Reaves over a sizable order of hemostatic ointment.

At that moment, Selina found herself in a delicate balance, torn between the ongoing business discussion and the impending interaction with Mary Kay. Her thought unfolded as she contemplated the reasons of Mary Kay's visit.

"Mary Kay, the formidable rival, gracing my manor voluntarily. This is a rare occurrence. I wonder what business she has with me, especially in the midst of negotiations with Reaves. Timing is everything, and Mary Kay has a way of choosing the most intriguing moments."

While Selina was thinking, she gained astute awareness of the strategic nature of Mary Kay's actions. Selina recognized that Mary Kay's arrival was not a mere social call; it carried a purpose that could potentially impact the dynamics of their business competition.

"Is she here to discuss a truce, a partnership, or perhaps to find a way to coexist in this new landscape dominated by the vitality elixir? Whatever her motive, I need to handle this with tact. The last thing I want is to compromise the negotiations with Reaves. Business comes first."

Selina's thoughts had unveiled her commitment to prioritizing the ongoing negotiations while preparing herself for the impending conversation with Mary Kay. "Reaves is here for a significant deal, and I can't afford any disruptions. Mary Kay can wait. I'll wrap up the current negotiations smoothly, and then we'll address whatever agenda she brings to the table."

As Selina and Reaves continued their negotiation, the room was filled with a sense of anticipation. Reaves, leaning back in his chair, spoke earnestly, he expressed his urgent need for a substantial supply of medical supplies, "Selina, you must understand the urgency of our situation. We urgently need these hemostatic ointment supplies and hope to get them as fast as possible and besides, our staff is clamoring for the Vitality Elixir, and we need a substantial supply to meet their demands. Can you expedite the production?"

Reaves was originally not planning to source his medical supplies from Selina but found himself compelled to do so due to the overwhelming demand for Vitality Elixir among his staff. In an effort to secure a reliable source, he decided to engage in this negotiation, realizing that a large order could potentially strengthen his future supply of the sought-after elixir.

Selina was aware of the increasing demand, but she knew that she could fulfill his request, though it would take a few days for the order to be ready, maintaining her composure, she responded, "Reaves, I appreciate the urgency of your request. Rest assured, I'll do my best to expedite the production process. However, with the vitality elixir quality is paramount, and I won't compromise on that, so I won't promise you high supply in its quantity."

Reaves as a seasoned business man could recognize the delicate balance between urgency and quality and nodded in agreement. "Of course, Selina, we understand the importance of maintaining standards. We're willing to wait a few days, but we expect a reliable and efficient supply."

Though, Selina's housekeeper had informed her about Mary Kay's unexpected visit. Selina had managed to keep her focus on Reaves and internally prepared herself for the upcoming discussion with the rival pharmacy owner.

As the negotiation progressed, Reaves couldn't help but inquire about Selina's other products, trying to create more connection with her. "Besides the Vitality Elixir, what other medical supplies can you provide? We're looking for a comprehensive solution for our healthcare needs."

Selina, seizing the opportunity to showcase her range, began detailing the various medical supplies available in her inventory. "Reaves, we offer a diverse range of medical supplies, from Zicao to herbal remedies. If you have specific requirements, we can tailor our offerings to meet your needs."

The conversation continued, with both parties actively engaged in shaping a mutually beneficial agreement. Selina skillfully navigated the negotiation, emphasizing the quality and reliability of her products, while Reaves sought to secure a favorable deal that would not only address his immediate needs but also establish a long-term partnership with Selina's True Potion.

After almost an hour the butler returned, and Selina's composure wavered, her brows furrowing with irritation. The butler cautiously whispered the news of Mary Kay's impatience, emphasizing her urgency. Selina was in no mood for delay, she erupted in a sudden burst of frustration.

"What do you mean she's been waiting?" Selina snapped, her voice cutting through the air. "Reaves is my most honored guest, and his business here takes precedence. Everyone else must wait, regardless of who they are, go and make that clear!" Selina declared sternly, her tone leaving no room for argument.

The butler, not accustomed to Selina's outbursts, nodded nervously and scurried away. Selina's annoyance lingered, visible in the tension etched on her face and the terse gestures she made.

As Reaves observed this exchange, he couldn't help but acknowledge the intricate dynamics at play. The unspoken hierarchy, where priority was granted based on status and importance, was evident.

She turned her attention back to Reaves, and continued addressing him, she said, "Thank you for your understanding, Reaves. We should continue to finalize the details and delivery schedule." Reaves, appreciating Selina's commitment to their partnership, reciprocated with a polite smile.

Reaves who has a keen perceptive and was well-versed in the unspoken conflict between Selina and Mary Kay, deciphered the tension in the air. As Selina directed her frustration toward the butler, Reaves grasped the underlying motive was a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for Mary Kay.

Inwardly, he mused, "This is more than just a scheduling conflict. Selina is using my presence as an excuse to assert dominance over Mary Kay. Their history has always been quite tumultuous."

Feeling no desire to be caught in the crossfire of their unresolved conflicts, Reaves decided to gracefully bow out of the situation. Rising from the couch with a diplomatic smile, he addressed Selina, "Thank you for your time, Selina. I understand the need for priorities, and besides I had to go back to my business I have some other important meetings to attend. We can continue our discussion at a more convenient time."

Selina, momentarily caught off guard by Reaves' unexpected departure, quickly composed herself. "Of course, Reaves. I appreciate your flexibility. We'll pick up our conversation at a more opportune time.."

As Reaves wanted to make his exit, he couldn't help but marvel at the intricacies of the power play he had just witnessed. Selina, despite her strategic prowess, couldn't completely conceal the brewing storm of personal animosity beneath the surface of her professional demeanor.
