Despite having repeatedly gone through the details again and again, Selena failed to find anything strange with the auction. Nonetheless, she insisted on standing her ground and opined that there was something fishy about the auction. Everything looks normal on the surface, but this is exactly where things can go wrong.
“I’ve just wired 1 billion from our local account. Do you think that’ll be enough for you to bid for your bracelet?” Pierre smiled in mischief and added, “Consider it a gift if you manage to win the bid.”
Selena shot a gaze at him haughtily and said, “I wouldn’t have any problem winning the bid anyway even without your help!” How dare he look down on me! I’m not as broke as he thinks.
“Oh, wow! Did I just hear the powerful voice of a wealthy corporate president with a fortune worth billions?”
“Hmph!” Selena complacently chuckled.
“Well, will I have the honor to taste your precious cooking tonight, President Yard?” Pierre asked mischievously as he proceeded to caress Selena with his wandering hands.
Oh, man. This guy just never gives me a break! “Alright, cut it out! Let’s talk about our important business!” Selena then shook off Pierre’s hands. “Do you remember the last auction that we attended back in Astoria? Three people, including myself, competed for a bid at that time.”
Pierre swirled the red wine in his glass and replied, “I wasn’t there, so I’m not too sure what happened.”
“During the auction, I remember competing with the other two representatives. While one of them was your man, I had no idea who the other one was, yet he wouldn’t stop bidding for my mom’s bracelet. I knew it was extremely valuable, but it made no sense for him to bid for it at a sky-high price.” Selena then bit her lips and wondered. “Could that mysterious bidder have anything to do with my mom?”
“Let’s just sleep on that for now. We’ll play it by ear tomorrow, and if everything goes right, the bracelet will be ours!”
