This was my first time attending an auction, so naturally, I did not know anything and was intrigued b y everything.
My phone vibrated in my purse. I took it out and saw that it was a call from Keith. I answered the call and asked, "Are you inside yet?"
Keith said, "Come and sit in the front row, Mrs. Grant.”
I looked in front and saw Keith looking this way. I said, "I'll just sit here."
Keith said, "Mr. Grant said that you’ll have a better view if you sit in front."
I pursed my lips and looked at Heidi.
She saw Keith standing in front as well and said a little excitedly, "Not only will you get a good view if you sit in front but you can get to know the rich tycoons there."
I softly sighed. "You just want to get to know the tycoons in front, huh?"
"What choice do I have?" Heidi blinked her eyes. "It’s hard to get acquainted with those tycoons. My work will be easier if I can get acquainted with them."
I had no choice but to agree after what she said. I
spoke into the phone and asked, "Can I bring Heidi to the front with me?"
Keith replied, "Yes."
I thanked him and hung up the phone. I then got up and said to Heidi, "Let's go."
If it were not for the fact that we needed to remain quiet, she probably would have screamed in excitement at this point.
She quickly covered her mouth. After five to six seconds, she suppressed her voice and said excitedly, " You’re simply the most gorgeous woman in this world, Wanda."
I helplessly smiled. "Let's go."
Heidi gave him a thumbs up and complimented him, " Awesome.”
Looking at the two of them, I was a little speechless." Stop it. I have no use for this card. I’m just here to take a look and have no plans to bid for anything."
Items in this auction would start at a price of a million. Not only was I not interested in these expensive artworks, but neither would I spend so much money to buy something that I could only place at home and admire.
I wanted to return the black card to Keith but he refused to take it. "Mr. Grant wanted me to hand this card to you, Mrs. Grant. Besides, what's his is yours. You can't give it back to me even if you don't want it."
I softly sighed. Knowing full well how stubborn Keith could be, I had no choice but to hold the black card for the time being.
The host of the charity auction got on stage and said a bunch of pleasant-sounding words. Then, the charity auction officially began.
The first item up for auction was a piece of artwork carved by a famous carver. The starting price was 5,000 dollars.
