Kathleen had long known of the process and requirements regarding the auction for the Rejuvenating Pill.
However, she still pretended to be surprised in front of Charlie as she listened to his explanation.
Charlie was also playing along with her, deliberately pretending to be convinced that she was Kylie Jane from France, not Kathleen Fox.
Charlie had no intention to expose Kathleen’s identity. He wanted to go along with her act, and wait for her to take the initiative to explain the truth to him.
With these thoughts in mind, the two soon arrived at the security inspection channel a t the entrance of the ballroom.
Charlie handed a VIP invitation to Kathleen. "Miss Jane, take this invitation and give this to the staff when you go in. The staff will take you directly to the private room on the second floor.”
Kathleen asked in surprise, "Mr. Wade, aren’t you going in together with me?"
Charlie laughed. "I have a VIP invitation, but my status here is not as a VIP. Rather, I'm a consultant for this auction. So, I'll be sitting in the monitoring room later and I won't be participating in the auction."
"So that's how it is." Kathleen nodded gently in understanding, though was a little disappointed that Charlie wouldn't be going in with her. On second thought, Charlie was the boss in charge of the auction. Naturally, he wouldn't join her in the VIP room and would instead be somewhere that enables him to monitor everything in real time.
Thus, she said, "In that case, I'll go in first. I will contact you immediately after the auction is over, Mr. Wade.”
Charlie nodded. "The security check for the auction is very strict. You’ll have to give your cell phone and all of your belongings t o the security guard, who will place them i n a temporary storage before the auction starts. The security guard will return them t o you when the auction ends, so there's no need to worry.”
