It was an uncomfortable breakfast. Luckily, the head maid seemed to notice my mood and took my lunch in my room. Chowie stayed with me ‘till late afternoon. We played different types of games that involved a dog. Luckily, there was no time that I felt bored. I wish I could have a dog like Chowie. It’s a shame that I can’t wish for Chowie since it’s obvious that Gavin treasures this cutie and it may be because of that woman… I sighed and patted Chowie’s head for the last time. It’s been an hour since Chowie lay down and started to sleep so we decided to return him to Gavin’s room. I looked at the surroundings. We're currently here at the main garden where tea parties are hosted. Not far from here, I can see the guards’ base. This garden is really beautiful… but I will make mine more beautiful and unique since I’ll plant some veggies and fruit there. “My lady, Master has sent you a present!” I turned to look at Silv then wrinkled my forehead when I heard what she said. Gavin
After a while, the car stopped. Luckily there's no traffic or something that delayed us. I don't want to be stuck here anyway After the car stopped, I was confused at first because someone else opened the door for me instead of the driver, which is the creepy old man. I accepted the hand that was offered to help me get off but I immediately let go of it since it wasn't Gavin. Ehh? I mean, I don't know the guy and I thought Gavin will be the one who'll escort me inside. I was about to pull out my hands but.. But anyway, it wasn't Gavin. Even though he's wearing a mask. I know that this person is not Gavin. He's smaller than him and much skinnier. Gavin is really tall. Taller than anyone I knew. But this man? Is taller than me but smaller than Gavin. And! He doesn't smell like mint. I can always smell a fresh scent of mint whenever I'm with Gavin. "Who are you?" I coldly ask then looked at his hand that he was offering. I'm not stupid to go with someone I don't know. We're
I frowned looking at the cage. What the hell? Is this even legal? I looked at Bennedix. He glanced at me after noticing that I was looking at him. “Don’t look at me like that, Mrs. Morgan. This auction is certified legal.” He said raising his hands like surrendering. Is it legal that they are auctioning a human? “You see that?” He pointed down where a group of men were talking. “Those men are high ranking officials. And that woman there with a royal blue dress, is the first lady of our country.” He said grinning. I looked at the person that he pointed to last. The woman was clinging her hand to a man’s arm pulling it to her chest as she giggled. Disgusting. Bennedix placed his hand to my back but it didn’t touch my skin. What a considerate person. I would really feel uncomfortable if he crossed the line. He guided me to a seat where there were only a few people sitting. I sat at the nearest seat and examined the girl in the cage. Even from afar I can see her beauty but it
I frowned when the door burst open making the people, even in the other room almost have a heart attack. Standing in the doorway is a man wearing a black tuxedo with a champagne colored handkerchief placed in his right chest. The fck is wrong with this weird guy? I watched him walk to the room while looking around like he was looking for something. "Gavin!" I glanced at the man beside me when he stood up and shouted Gavin's name. When I looked back at Gavin, I saw that he was staring at me like he's looking at my soul. What? Don't tell me he's still mad for some sort of a reason that I don't know. I honestly don't want to remember his face at that time. It's fcking scary. "Hey, Ben." "Where have you been? We've been waiting for a long time, man." They greeted each other like some dude in the street having a boy handshake. I can’t believe that I’m seeing Gavin looking so carefree as he laughs with Bennedix. Even wearing masks, they looked so… majestic. “Who are those two?”
Damn it. I secretly glared at Bennedix as he laughed at what Venice said, which I didn’t quite catch. They were talking about something that I don’t know, making me feel a bit left out. You see this man? He dragged me here then left me out of their conversation. I’m the only one that’s feeling awkward. Looks like they know each other very well for them to talk and laugh like this. Maybe Gavin also knows these two? Possible. Since they know Bennedix. I looked at Jasmine and Venice’s appearance. Jasmine is wearing a scarlet colored spaghetti strap long dress that’s showing her perfect curves. It’s quite daring because it’s backless and has a deep V-cut in the front showing her healthy, big… uhh… chest… I looked away from there and looked at Venice’s dress that looks simple yet elegant. It was a black off shoulder with a slit showing her white leg. Her hair is straightened in her back matching her night black dress. It really is a small world anyway. To think they know Bennedix, I
Us three looked at Benedix when he suddenly stood up. We were staying in a room one room apart from Gavin. Jasmine suddenly pulled me here when they saw a product. I sighed thinking that I may look like a tag since she's been pulling me ever since we've met. "I'll just take this call." Bennedix said while walking towards the door. I looked at the man sitting in the room, one room apart from us. He's just sitting there, looking at the stage. I looked at the stage and saw they were auctioning some rare silk from a known tribe. I glanced back at Gavin and saw that he's looking at his watch and then his back. Huh... Is he waiting for me? Well, I do say that I'm thirsty. And I'm almost gone for… I don't know… What time is it anyway? I looked at the two girls that were talking about the silk being presented before standing up. They looked at me synchronously making them look like twins. "Oh. You're going back?" Venice asked. I nodded and picked up my bottled water. They waved goodb
I was a bit startled, Gavin was also startled. My eyes wide open looking at him, it was a bit funny seeing Gavin's eyes widen. "Uh... You... You're waiting for the last item... Right?" I asked awkwardly. "Y-Yeah." He said as he looked in front. I bit my lower lip to contain my laughter. I was scared witless earlier but after seeing Gavin like this... I can't! Ahahaha It's so rare to see Gavin being shocked or whatever. He always looked powerful and such but now, he looks like he doesn't know what he's doing. He's so cute-- No, I mean strange! He's so strange. Tsk tsk. He is strange indeed. I pretended like nothing happened as I looked at the stage where the last item was. I froze for a moment and I saw a cage covered in red clothing. It looks the same as the cage where the girl was earlier... I looked at the people getting wild before I glance back at Gavin. He was wearing an expressionless face as he stared in front. Was it another girl that's inside the cage? I unbeli
A Hundred... Million... US dollars... What... How... No. JUST HOW MUCH MONEY DOES GAVIN HAVE?! I looked at him unbelievably. In my existence, I haven't encountered a real person that would give a 50M easily and I haven't seen a person that'll give 100M to a person. To buy A PERSON. I... What The auction fell into silence as they looked at Gavin. I mean, who wouldn't? He just bid a hundred million dollars! Double to the VP downstairs. I looked in the direction where the VP and the first lady were and saw both of them looking here. One looking with awe while the other one is looking with envy and contempt. I unconsciously let out a smirk at the one looking with envy. She glared at me as she looked at the man beside her. She can't do anything since it's beyond their capabilities. It must be hard on her to lose into a competition that she started. It was nice seeing her looking like that. But I’m too shocked to curse and show my victory to her. Still in shock, I was startled
