"Did you just say you reserved VIP Room One for him? Who is he, anyway? Why would you reserve for him a room that even I can't go in?" Jeremy kicked up a small fuss when he heard what Caroline said. He considered himself to be an upper-class person second only to a prince or a commander's son. He was a big shot, at least in Oolong City.
Jeremy felt that it was an affront to the rules that Severin had been invited in before the auction started!
Caroline glanced indifferently at Jeremy and said icily, "Our senior director made this arrangement, Mister Jeremy. You may take it up with her if you have any objections."
After finishing speaking, Caroline smiled warmly at Severin and said, "This way, please."
Everyone else looked on with envy as Severin and his group were led in by Caroline.
A man from a second-tier family came up to Jeremy with several of his bodyguards. "What's going on, Jeremy? This is the first time a guest was brought in before the auction started."
Jeremy looked at the man and said, "Beats me, Tom. Maybe that guy is on very good terms with the senior director?"
Jeremy sounded rather displeased. The sons of all those upper-class families knew that the senior director was a very attractive woman. They all wanted an opportunity to treat her to a meal and win her favor, but she never accepted any of their requests. Nothing they did could pique her interest in them.
