At this moment, Kathleen felt that all of her plans and rhythm had instantly been disrupted by Charlie's sudden invitation.
She did not even know what Charlie's purpose was.
Was it just that he simply wanted to invite her to participate in the auction, or had he detected her motives long ago and so, he was deliberately taking advantage of the situation?
Hence, she suddenly did not know how to react for a while.
Just as she was at a loss for words, Charlie then asked a follow-up question, "Miss Jane, are you not interested in this kind of auction? In truth, you don't have to worry too much. I’m not helping the auction to
attract customers, but I just think that this auction might be more interesting and so, I wanted to invite you, as a guest who came from afar, to come over and enjoy it. You could also kill some boredom and pass time there.”
As Charlie spoke, he laughed and said," After all, I am also married. It would be more or less inappropriate if I invited you out to watch a movie. However, it does not matter if you are not interested, Miss Jane. You don’t have to feel any psychological burden."
Charlie's words eased Kathleen's nervousness a lot, and she hurriedly said," No, no, I am still quite interested in this kind of occasion."
As she spoke, in order not to show that she knew something about this auction, she even pretended to be curious and asked, "M
r. Wade, may I ask what is this auction that you're referring to all about?"
Charlie knew that Kathleen was acting and so, he casually laughed and said, "Most of them are some antiques, painting, and calligraphy. Other than that, there is also a rather niche medicine with very miraculous effects. I wonder if Miss Jane would be willing to come?"
Kathleen felt very conflicted in her heart. This was because her grandfather had already brought Jarvis into Shangri-La with him and so, Kathleen was originally mentally prepared to not be able to participate in this auction.
