Chloe shot him a grin before swaggering up to the stage.
"Gimme that Yours Only!"
Chloe demanded immediately as she stood up on stage.
"Yours Only?" The host looked puzzled, but Chloe just shot him a frosty glance.
The host jumped, backing up a couple of steps, then he noticed Chloe eyeing the perfume bottle on the table, and quickly got the hint.
"But this..."
This was the thing Mr. Harper had just shelled out two hundred million for! How could they just hand it over like that?
But before he could say anything more, the auctioneer had already handed the perfume over. Chloe took it, popped the cap, took a whiff, and started grinning.
The crowd watched, feeling sick to their stomachs. The perfume had a bit of alcohol in it, which evaporated super-fast. And this was a two hundred million perfume! Every second it was evaporating was money down the drain.
This kind of thing should be sealed and preserved as a work of art. But Chloe didn't even bother to put the cap back on. Instead, she raised the bottle towards the crowd and said, "This Yours Only. I heard, was the winning piece from Star's first prize at the Fragrance Frenzy. There's only one bottle in the world, isn’t there?"
The crowd murmured in confirmation.
Chloe nodded, then turned to Lance. "Star's work should be leagues ahead of Rosanna's, am I right? At least in terms of status, Rosanna's got nothing on Star! And I bet more customers would prefer Star over Rosanna. Right, Mr. Olson?"
Lance frowned, but nodded in agreement to Chloe's assertion. "Star is a Fragrance Frenzy International Contest champion, while Rosanna only came in fourth. There's a clear gap between them. In every aspect, Rosanna can't compete with Star."
