Chapter 160 He’s Needy
They talked, updating their bids.
Janet raised the bid to 1.8 million dollars, and Nathaniel immediately raised it to 2 million dollars.
Nigel felt his heart tighten.
He told Janet, “Actually, the base price we set for this APP is 300 thousand dollars. It will be ten times higher than that price now. Don’t
waste money.”
Janet raised her eyebrows slightly. “You should say this to Nathaniel. As I said before, I am determined to get this APP. No matter how
much it is, it is not a problem.”
Nigel didn’t say anything more.
She was too rich.
Until the price Increased to 3 million dollars, neither of them had any intention of stopping. The organizers finally called to stop the bidding.
If they continue bidding, it wouldn’t end even if it got dark.
Earl went on stage to take the microphone and eased the atmosphere. “It can be seen that both of you really want to get this APP, but we don’t have enough time left. The bidding will end here. Next, we will discuss and decide the final winner.”
After that, he winked at Nigel below the stage and asked him to hurry backstage.
“Sorry, Jill. I have to go. I’ll come back soon.”
After Nigel left, Janet felt that the venue was a little stuffy. She suddenly remembered that Nigel said that there was a balcony in the southwest corner of the venue. The weather was also good, so she got up and walked out.
There was a breeze blowing on the balcony, giving a bit of freshness to the hot weather. Janet walked to the balcony and propped her arm on the edge, looking at the scenery with her chin propped up.
Just as she was lost in thought, she suddenly heard the sound of the door behind her. When she looked back, her face immediately became gloomy. She turned back to ignore the person who came.
The fresh air seemed to have become turbid because of this person’s appearance.
Janet wanted to leave, but she stopped.
They would inevitably meet again at business parties, and she didn’t do anything wrong. Why should she hide from him?
Nathaniel walked slowly to her side and stood still. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it up. When he saw Janet
frown slightly, he subconsciously put the cigarette back.
After separating, some memories about the past often emerged, becoming clearer and clearer.
He remembered that Janet didn’t like the smell of smoke, but she never said that. She would frown like this when he smoked.
It was just that he never cared about it.
At this moment, he suddenly cared about her feelings.
For a long time, they did not speak.
The scene became silent.
Nathaniel had his hands in his pockets, leaning against the edge of the balcony. He was not far from Janet, and even his breathing was
very clear to her.
Janet thought that as long as he didn’t break the silence, she would pretend that he wasn’t there.
Unexpectedly, he spoke.
“I’m sorry for last night.”
She didn’t expect him to mention what happened last night. She was slightly stunned. When she came back to her senses, she said seriously, “Nothing. I’ve forgotten about it.”
It was embarrassing..
He saw Janet leave the venue. When he came back to his senses, he had already followed her to the balcony.
This was not a topic that could be continued, so Nathaniel changed the topic to the competition.
“I didn’t expect you to have such a deep understanding of software operation and new media,” he said.
“You have changed, which surprised me,” Nathaniel praised her sincerely.
“I haven’t changed. It’s just that you don’t know me too much.” Janet replied calmly.
