Love in Prime Years novel Chapter 49

He immediately disappeared and she couldn't find him. Amelia thought that she must have an illusion. Lawrence must be busy with Lillian. He couldn't be here now. She hoped that he didn't come here. Although he made her heart broken, she still didn't want him to look down her.

She was really like a clown.

The auction today totally had six women. Before auction, every woman had to perform a dance. The manager liked beautiful ladies so she put the best Amelia to the last. As a matter of fact, dancing was really a simple thing for Amelia. But recently, she was so sick that she was worried that her body will not be able to bear it. So, when making up, she sat quietly in front of the dresser, closed her eyes and let the work make up for her.

The makeup artist has been surprised at her beauty. He never had seen such a beautiful woman. She was very excited. But she also felt pity for her. Such a beautiful woman had to sell herself to those rich men as a lover. If she was lucky, she may meet an ordinary man or she would be the old and ugly man's lover.

Amelia was good at classical dance. According to her specialty, the manager prepared a retro dress for her. Amelia took a look at the dress. She thought the manager should have spent a lot of money. It was a white wide fairy skirt, with a ring of ruby around the waist. She looked both pure and striking. There were rubies on the forehead ornament, necklace and anklet. She looked like a fairy falling from the sky. Her innocence and charm made those men crazy.

Waiting until almost ten o'clock, Amelia finally could go on the stage. She heard that the highest price of the five girls was five million. But, the foreign businessman who bought her first dance was more than seventy years old, obese and bloated. She didn’t know whether the girl was lucky or not.

Amelia went out from the dressing room and happened to see the foreign businessman embracing the little girl in the dance floor. The businessman actually just moved a few steps since he was too fat to do any flexible movement. The little girl smiled in his arms but she looked helpless and sad

The music had already started. It was a classical moving music. Amelia listened to the screams of the men and felt annoyed. But in order to make money, no matter how much she hated this place, she had to dance. Her every move was charming and fascinating. She was so soft that they thought she didn’t have bones. Her mouth was small and delicate. She originally was a classical beauty. And her dress made her more charming. Her wrist and feet were both beautiful. Those men even wanted to have a taste.

Torrey stared at her slender waist and feet and even didn’t blink. He held his breath like other men. They were afraid of bothering the fairy.

Lawrence felt strange that it was too quiet. He remembered that there was noisy before. He thought the girl may be so ugly that those men didn’t want to talk. He smiled sarcastically and thought those guys were willingly to spend money on that. Even Torrey had said that he must get a first dance of a Chinese girl. He really wanted to know whether he would pay for an ugly woman. He glanced at him and found him in a daze. But clearly, he was fascinated by that girl. Torrey almost had a nosebleed. He noticed that Lawrence was looking at him and he became more excited. He held his arms and said, “Lawrence! It seems that I have met my goddess！She is very pretty.” Hearing that, Lawrence finally looked at the stage and he paused. He became very annoyed.
