Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 128

I got dressed in a simple little black dress, my feet were clad in nude heels with a matching purse. I part my hair in two and let each side frame my face. Lucas was finely tucked in a fine tuxedo - we decided to match colors so his tuxedo was black, with a nude shirt underneath.

My and Lucas' arms were linked as we walked to the entrance of the auction. The security at the entranceway searched us with a beeping machine before we were allowed in.

The auction house was already flooded by people when we got in and If Lucas had not specially had a seat reserved in his name at the VIP section in the front row, we probably would have ended up standing throughout the event. One of the ushers led us to our seats.

As we approached our seat, I felt Lucas' hold on my hand tightened. I had been slightly distracted by the beautiful artworks on display but now that I looked ahead, I saw that the seats that the usher was leading us to were side by side with Mark's.

Mark, whose attention wason an ugly ancient statue on display, was seated beside Sandra. There was a smug expression on her face as her eyes accompanied us to our seats.

Before we got there, I clutched Lucas' arm with my second hand, "You don't need to feel threatened by Mark," I said softly, "You know that right?" I added when he didn't say anything.

"I know," he simply answered.

"Here you go, sir," the usher smiled sweetly and left.

Mark suddenly turned and his eyes fell on us. Even though Lucas wasn't watching,I looked away from him but I felt his hot gaze in me. There was a sort of staredown between them before both of them tersely nodded at each other.

We took our seats. Sandra and I were seated in the middle, my left shoulder was almost touching Sandra's right shoulder while Mark and Lucas were seated on the other side of us.

"Hello, nemesis," Sandra whispered into my ear. When I ignored her, she hissed, "What now? We pretend not to know each other and ignore each other?"
