Reject The CEO Decisively novel Chapter 31

"Maybe that was too much information." She said with humor laced in her tone. "Anyways, she's the perfect package. Beauty with brains, witty and loves kids!" She said with a wink.

Fudge cake? Virgin, loves kids. What was she suggesting.

"Let's start the bidding, shall we?"

"100K!" Yelled a cute, blonde guy while my eyes widened in shock.

"Oh wow, the bid starts with 100K! Let's see who gets the last gem."

"$150K"

"170K!"

"200K!"

I didn't think anyone- including Vincent would bid on me after my humiliating scene but here I already reached the same bid as Lilly.

Speaking of Vincent... I turned to look in his direction but my hypocrite eyes went towards the figure standing behind him.

He was leaning against the wall casually, looking as handsome as ever. His eyes turned towards me and once again he caught me checking him out. This time he smirked. I just scoffed and turned my gaze towards Vincent who was giving me a confused look. I smiled as I looked at him, he returned the smile along with a wink.

The bid went on for a long while and I nearly fainted when someone announced "$400K."

Holy macaroni.

I turned towards the guy as did everyone else. There stood a guy in a black suit, who looked no older than 19.

Umm what?

"Can't anyone here take a joke." The teenage guy said with a shrug and embarrassed laughter. "I didn't expect anyone to hear me." He muttered and left the hall to save himself from further humiliation.

His exit was followed by a moment of awkward silence before someone announced "$500K."

This someone being Vincent.

My eyes widened for a fraction of time and I waited for him to confess that this was a joke as well, except he didn't.

Even Mrs Burette seemed shocked. Probably not expecting her step son to bid at all.

Silence again.

Mrs Burette cleared her throat in the mike. "I guess noone's going higher than that."

I bit my lip and my eyes turned towards the direction of Adrian again. Except this time, he wasn't standing there. I searched the crowd. No sign of him.

He left.

What did you expect Emily?

"$500K it is. You may now lea-" before she could complete her sentence, she was interrupted by one of the waiters who gave her a piece of paper that was folded in half.

"What is this?" The waiter whispered something in her ear and she replied with a 'very well.'

I turned towards Vincent who was giving his mother and the waitress an annoyed look while she opened the piece of paper, her eyes going wide.
