Semua Bab She's Out of Your League Now: Bab 361 - Bab 370

When Millie and Marvin arrived at the venue, they noticed everyone was wearing masks. They were only there for the auction and didn't care for socializing. Hence, they found a quiet spot to sit and wait for the long half hour to pass.Suddenly, someone called out, "William!"Millie swirled her glass of wine and looked out calmly. Everyone was wearing a mask except William. "Why isn't he wearing one?" she wondered.Then, she witnessed the person in charge handing the mask to William, who promptly put it on.At that moment, Millie suddenly noticed someone standing beside William. The man was impeccably dressed in a suit, radiating an undeniable elegance. Although his mask covered half of his face, it was evident that he was attractive. Millie narrowed her eyes, struggling to identify his identity.The man caught Millie's gaze and immediately turned toward her. Their eyes locked, and Millie was stunned for a moment.The man received a glass of champagne from the waiter while keepi

As Millie stepped into the auction hall, Marvin returned. "Boss, I have some bad news."Millie stared at him. "What is it?""We don't have an identification, and we came here suddenly today without informing them in advance. Our funds are restricted." Marvin frowned, feeling helpless.Millie was upset. "Why did you make such a basic mistake? Don't you know why we are here today?"They had come for the auction, which would undoubtedly cost a lot of money. If their funds were limited, they might not be able to outbid anyone for the Aspher. They had finally located the herb, but it would surely be troublesome if it ended up in someone else's possession."Boss, we rushed here too quickly. It's my fault." Marvin apologized, feeling ashamed.After a brief pause, Millie contemplated the Aspher's low bid, then calmly responded, "Let's see how this plays out."Nevertheless, they continued with the bidding. If the other bidders didn't know about the herb, Millie might just be able to win

Marvin was also taken aback. "What? William is competing with you for the bid? Why would a man like him be interested in purchasing a butterfly necklace?"Millie didn't respond. She considered it normal for someone like William, who indulged in one-night stands, to purchase a pricey necklace for a woman. She was confident that he must be quite a hit with women in Musbane.Millie couldn't help but smirk as William placed his bid. Without hesitation, she raised the price even higher. "20 million."William continued, "21 million."Millie was amused. "22 million."William called out again, "25 million."No one in the auction hall was bidding anymore. All eyes turned to room three and room six, where a blond man and a charming woman engaged in a fierce battle over a butterfly necklace. It was fascinating.Millie glared at William and scoffed. "He can have it."It was absolutely not worth spending 25 million on this necklace. The scoundrel got the short end of the stick.Marvin gave

"11 million!" William continued to raise the price. He was determined to win the Aspher.Millie noticed that William kept raising the price. This time, she increased it by only 500 thousand yewros. Millie wanted to wear out William's patience since she only had a budget of 20 million. She sighed, thinking that if she couldn't get the Aspher, she would have to negotiate with William. She knew that dealing with someone like him would be difficult, as he would likely be arrogant toward her.William increased the price once more. "12 million."Millie offered. "12.5 million."William shouted, "13 million!"Millie was agitated."Why does he need Aspher for?" Marvin wondered if William knew the benefits of Aspher.Millie found herself in a dire situation. While she was delighted to see that foreigners appreciated the Chirean culture, she also longed for valuable medicinal herbs to reach those who truly needed them. However, William remained stubborn, leaving Millie with no choice b

Millie heard the sound of water running in the bathroom. After peeping inside, she slammed the door shut in a deliberate move.The sounds immediately ceased.William asked from within, "Ms. Caldwell, is that you?"She answered him and made her way into the room, where she examined every nook and cranny.After confirming there weren't any security cameras or other people around, Millie finally confronted him, "Where's the Aspher?""My assistant is still getting it delivered after the auction," he answered hastily in Encerian.Narrowing her eyes, she watched as William emerged from the bathroom. He extended his arms with a huge grin. "Darling, thanks for showing."Millie felt repulsed by his action, but she concealed her feelings and waited for the Aspher. William poured them two glasses of wine. Then, he invited her, "How about we take a shower together?"Smiling, she tried to shift the topic of conversation, "Are you implying I'm unclean?"He immediately shook his head. He w
