A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1275

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1275

“Jason, you and Helen should stay out of it for now since this bet is between Hannah and me,” Fabian advised.

Helen then grumbled unwillingly, “Okay.”

Then an idea flashed in Jason’s eyes. “Wanna make a bet with me?”

Helen instantly perked up at this suggestion. She cautiously leaned closer to Jason and asked, “I’m down, but what are we betting on? Do you intend to play the same guessing game?”

“Pfft, I’m not as skilled a guesser as Fabian. Let’s bet on who will win instead—Fabian or Hannah, what do you say?” Jason proposed.

His beady-eyed gaze locked on Helen, who responded with, “Sound’s good.”

At this moment, Fabian dialed a number on his phone and instructed in a low voice, “Tell the auctioneer to put the event on hold. I’m at table 15, come over. I have something to discuss.”

The auctioneer waved to command the audience’s attention. Right when she was about to reveal what the mystery item was, Bluebird’s general manager approached the stage and muttered, “The boss wants to see you backstage.”

“My apologies, everyone please give us a moment.” The auctioneer bowed politely before turning to leave.

“What the devil is going on? Why did she leave?”

“Yeah! Even if they’re trying to pique our curiosity, there’s no need to leave us high and dry like that.”

“They’re really going all out in building suspense.”

…

The room was in a state of chaos as the audience complained from every corner of the room.

In the meantime, the boss of Bluebird’s establishment stood before Fabian’s table and bowed. “What can I do for you, Mr. Norton?”
