At this time, Angeline approached them and spoke in an icy tone. “The auction is about to start, Zay. We’ll sit over there.”
Angeline wore a pale green gown paired with a white velvet coat. She had on delicate makeup, and she was holding a vintage purse.
Gwendolyn nodded at Angeline. “Mrs. Surrington,” she greeted.
Angeline tipped her head back in response before pulling Zayden away.
Zayden was unhappy at that. “Mom, I was talking to Gwen. You can go ahead first.”
I haven’t seen her in a while. I wonder what she’s up to. She was never around every time I went to meet her. It’s as if she’s avoiding me. Now that she’s right in front of me, I have to talk to her.
Angeline replied coldly, “Don’t forget why we’re here today, Zay.”
Right then, Patrick walked over to Gwendolyn and called her, “Don’t lose your way, Ms. Ashton.”
With that said, he grabbed her hand and dragged her to the second floor.
Zayden watched as Gwendolyn was taken away by Patrick. As a man, Zayden understood other men well, and he knew Patrick had feelings for Gwendolyn.
Isn’t he getting engaged next Saturday?
Tugging at Zayden, Angeline chirped, “See, Zay? She climbed up the social ladder.”
On the other side, Gwendolyn followed Patrick to a private room on the second floor. Kevin and Lucas sat together, leaving two other seats beside them.
Pointing to a seat, Patrick uttered, “You sit here. When you see something you like, tell me.”
Gwendolyn initially walked behind Liam. After she heard Patrick, she pondered for a moment before taking a seat.
The view of the stage was pretty clear from their room. Although there was a giant screen behind, things looked more real when seen with the naked eye.
Meanwhile, Patrick was sipping on some coffee. He did not spare a look at the stage at all. Nothing caught his attention, as expected.
Feeling a little thirsty, Gwendolyn picked up her cup to drink some coffee.
The coffee tasted fresh and aromatic, so she took another sip. The fragrance lingered within her mouth.
Right then, Lucas suddenly raised his plate, and the host on the stage announced, “Number fifteen is bidding six hundred thousand. Are there any other bids?”
At that, Patrick and Kevin looked at him simultaneously. “That’s for women, Luke. Are you getting it for a woman?” the latter inquired.
Pausing for a while, Lucas simply smiled and replied, “It’s a secret.”
The host waited for a moment. No one else was bidding, so he concluded, “Congratulations to number fifteen for winning the bid.”
