Her words were like a wakeup call for Selena, and she immediately regained her composure. “I have to find out who the other person is.”
Thereafter, she stood up and went out. Chasing after her, Linda said, “President Yard, this is against the regulations. If the organizers of the Royal Auction finds out about this, we’ll be blacklisted.”
“I can’t be bothered about that. I have to find out who bought my mother’s jade bracelet so that I can negotiate with that person after this. Or else, I’ll lose track of the bracelet again.”
Leading Linda to the washroom next to room number one, she first pretended to use the washroom before secretly spying on the movements in the next room.
While they waited anxiously for the person in room number one to leave the room, someone suddenly came out from the male washroom next to them.
“Ms. Yard? What a coincidence.”
Spinning her head around, Selena saw that it was Niall who had greeted her.
“What are you doing here, Niall?” she asked, startled.
With a pained look on his face, he replied, “Don’t bring it up, Ms. Yard. I’m here on an errand for President Fowler.”
Eyeing him suspiciously, she knew that he had to be here to buy something as an errand since this was an auction. “What kind of errand?”
As he already knew that she was in a relationship with Pierre, Niall didn’t think it would be a problem if he told her the truth. Moreover, this wasn’t considered a secret, either.
“I’m here to bid for a bracelet on his behalf. This is a very pricey bracelet, and I had to bid for it with one hundred and ten million. My goodness, I didn’t expect so many to fight for it with me, and I almost couldn’t complete my task.” Sighing, he continued, “Do you know who are the people in room number eighteen and number three? The one in number eighteen is especially aggressive!”
