His voice was deep and pleasant, like the sound of a cello.
Louis Caesar glanced around at the guests present. In the end, his eyes fell on Martha, who was in an off-the-shoulder evening dress.
He smiled.
A sentence was enough to introduce himself.
Then the auction officially started...
Miss Manners brought the first item on the stage. The host announced, "The first lot is a piece of inkstone that Louis obtained accidentally abroad. The starting price is 500, 000. "
Many people instantly bade.
"600, 000."
"800, 000."
"1, 100, 000."
...
In the end, the inkstone was bought by a real estate owner at 2, 000, 000 dollars.
"The second is very precious. This bracelet is the last work of the late Master Mona. The starting price is 1, 000, 000."
As soon as the host finished speaking, those people sitting under raised their bidding paddles and call out their ideal price.
"1, 500, 000."
"1, 800, 000."
...
People were bidding.
Martha looked at the lots on the auction stage with little interest... She was not interested in any of them. She came here tonight just to get acquainted with Louis and see if there was a chance of cooperation.
Just when she was bored, she raised her eyes inadvertently to meet an affectionate gaze.
Martha noticed that Louis, who was sitting not far away, seemed to be staring at her.
The man's eyelashes were very long, and his blue eyes were very beautiful. He looked at her as if she was a treasure.
Martha's heart skipped a beat. The man's facial features seemed to be carved by God himself. He had no flaws. She couldn't help admiring his perfection in her heart.
Suddenly, he smiled at her gently. Her eyelashes fluttered slightly, and she felt that the world became brighter.
She was amazed by his beauty.
She smiled politely at him.
It would be a good thing for her if she could leave a good impression on Mr. Louis.
Later, she focused on the auction again.
There were only ten lots. The competition was fierce for each one. They were all auctioned for a much higher price than then their value.
Two hours later, the auction came to an end. The host was introducing the last lot.
"The next one is the last lot today. It's Blue Ocean Necklace."
