I was a little speechless. "Mr. Milton, why are you playing with fire? You had a proposal prepared in advance, then me to make another one. Now that it's almost time to present it, you've given me yet another new one. Do you think I can memorize everything within a few minutes?"
He said calmly, "You won't know unless you try."
I had nothing more to say.
I glared at him in resentment. I really didn't want to talk to him anymore. I looked down at the auction plan and was particularly surprised.
I looked at him, stunned and asked, "Did you do this? Or Linda?"
He glanced at me but ignored my question. "It's your turn next."
I pursed my lips and went back to studying it carefully. I had no choice but to do my best now.
"The next bid is from the Milton Group. Please get ready," said the emcee on stage.
I couldn't help but panic a little. The new proposal looked good, but I'm not prepared enough. It was too last minute.
I broke out into cold sweat, and my hands started to shake uncontrollably.
Out of the blue, a large hand suddenly covered mine. I blinked at it for a moment then looked up into Sebastian's dark eyes.
The man said indifferently, probably in an attempt to console me, "Don't be nervous. Even if the bid fails, you can still continue to work for the Milton Group."
I pursed my lips and glared at him before I pulled my hand away. "Oh please, don't pretend to be merciful now. Please just let me know in advance next time?"
He smiled charmingly, his voice clear, "Okay, I'll inform you in advance."
