Secretly The Billionaire Boss by Debbie chocolate novel Chapter 385

Chapter 385: Funny

Grey, Charles, and Aphrodite got down from the car. Grey put on his face mask before getting down.

They walked towards the entrance which was guarded by two hefty and strong-looking men.

"There were men before them. So, they had to wait as the security guards took the invites before they allowed them inside.

Grey brought out the two invites and stretched them out to one of the men. Charles gave out his as well.

One of the men regarded Grey for a moment. "Who are you and why do you use a nose mask?"

"He's Hercules," Charles revealed.

The guy’s eyes twitched but they were gone from his eyes as quickly as they had started. Instead, he stepped aside for them to enter.

Grey, Aphrodite, and Charles entered the spacious hall and realised that it was almost filled up. And the auction has already started.

Aphrodite did tell him that only a few do attend the auction but seeing how many people were, Grey was shocked.

They walked to their seat, and though Charles turned away he soon returned with a bidder card for Grey.

"The Artemis and the Stag go to Giovanni!” The auctioneer announced.

"Giovanni is always an early bird," Aphrodite muttered in annoyance.

"I bet he's the only one that has been bidding," Charles whispered.

Charles was sitting on the left side of Grey while Aphrodite was on the left side. So, Grey was in the middle.

Grey looked at Charles. "What do you mean?"

"Giovanni has always been the only one bidding in places like this. No other people had the boldness to go against him unless he let go of the antiques from his heart," he confessed.

"That's nonsense. Isn't this place supposed to be for everyone?"

"I don't think so. If it is, then why do we need an invite?" Aphrodite wondered aloud.

Grey reasoned it for a moment. "So, why are there so many here if they wouldn't be bidding?"

Charles shrugged slightly. "Maybe they hoped that Giovanni wouldn't show up. But the moment they are inside, there's no going back," he explained. "It's the rule of the place."

Grey groaned inwardly. "Why are there so many rules?"

Charles laughed softly. "I bet Giovanni is stacking the antiques for the future."

Grey looked at Charles again. "I don't understand that. Why would he spend his money on antiques?"

"Well, that's why there's an auction. Giovanni could always make a lot of money on it later on. He's obviously stacking them up Incase disaster occurs," he muttered.

"Just like the one we went to weeks ago. Giovanni wouldn't have expected to see me here but I will spoil plans for him this time as well," he said with determination.

"This Persian Rug will go for 20 million dollars," the auctioneer started. "Who's going for it?"

"Are you getting this?" Charles inquired.

Grey nodded once. "Yes but not yet."

Silence descended for a few minutes.

A man raised his bidder card. "I will take it for 21 million dollars."

"Alright. Is there anyone? Or the Persian rug will go with Mr. Parker!" The auctioneer stated.

"Giovanni isn't saying anything again. Does he know you are around?" Aphrodite observed.
