Chapter 140
“I brought you your porcelain plates.” Jace fulfilled his end of the promise and pass the plates to Sage. Sage gleefully accepted the plates. She opened up the box, and carefully wiped her hands with wet wipes. She then daintily picked up a plate in her hands and observed it.
You could tell if someone is truly passionate about antiquing by looking at their gesticulations.
Under the warm lights, Jace asked Sage gently, “You like it that much?”
Sage answered, “Obviously,” without looking up,
Sage tried to keep her excitement down about these little porcelain plates back then at the auction. She wanted to bring these plates home so badly. Never did she know Jace was going to bid the plates too.
She knew Jace was an obsessed antiquer. Wealthy people loved collecting antiques, which was commonly known. But she didn’t know he was such an avid antiquer,
She also knew if they bid against each other, they would ruin the market rate for these plates and the media will surely make a big hoo-ha about their competition.
She can’t risk spoiling the market rate,
Finally, these plates are back in her hands. Her eyes were filled with the sight of the plates, from the pattern to the color; from the top to bottom, she wanted to take it all in,
Jace looked at Sage as she took a sniff at the plates, she resembled a Bichon Frise puppy, Jace laughed out loud.
Sage felt unfazed at Jace’s mockery. This was common practice for an avid antiquer like her. She carefully placed the plates back i n the box and said, “Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Yuriel.”
As Jace was about to say that she was welcome, Sage took the cheque out from her bag and placed it in front of him, and said, * Please take this five million dollars.”
