Auction.
The live auction was going to be held on a dance floor that was separated by a long and narrow stage. Jennie thought they were going to display the pieces of jewelry that would be auctioned on that stage.
Tables were placed surrounding the stage in a U position. Jennie assumed that all high-bidders would be seated at the front. Of course, this included Lisa and his private 'bodyguard'.
And just like what she expected, someone asked Lisa to join the high-bidders on the front part of the seating chart. In response, he just nodded and followed the attendant to his designated seat.
Just like him, the other CEO's and prominent individuals were also invited to their designated seats.
Since this was a jewelry gala, a lot of the items that were going to be auctioned, were ancient and elegant pieces of jewelry.. In fact, the ambiance of the whole auction venue screamed elegance and class.
At this point, Nancy was already waiting for an opportunity to see Jennie's face. She had already had a hunch that Jennie was Lisa's bodyguard for the night. Nancy inwardly chastised herself for missing this very important point.
How could have she missed Jennie? No... it was not her fault. Who would have thought that Jennie would become lisa's bodyguard and dress this way to avoid people from noticing her?
Did she know that Nancy was planning to use this opportunity to get close to Lisa?
"Hey, are you alright?" Nancy's CEO asked her.
"Yes, I just noticed that Lisa's bodyguard is a girl," she answered. The CEO of Nancy's agency was an extremely lewd person, who would attempt to bed every girl that he wanted. Of course, this included his personal favorite-Nancy. Even his wife was aware of this.
And just like what she expected, the CEO's eyes almost bulged out of their sockets when he looked at the woman next to Lisa. Her tall and slender frame instantly attracted his attention.
What a pretty silhouette.
At this moment, Lisa felt the licentious gaze and looked at the CEO, who was ogling Jennie. His face instantly turned darker, as his gaze pierced through the old man.
The CEO shivered when he noticed Lisa's glare and was forced to divert his gaze elsewhere.
This interaction did not go unnoticed by Nancy and with this, she was able to confirm that the bodyguard was indeed Jennie. She gritted her teeth in annoyance as another plan started forming in her mind.
Nancy watched, as Jennie followed Lisa around to the seat that had already been reserved for them. It was two seats away from Nancy and her CEO's seats.
At this point, Jennie had already noticed Nancy's glare, but she refused to acknowledge it. Her guess was originally right. Someone wanted Lisa to attend this event without her. And that someone could be Li Qiang and Nancy. Too bad, she was going to ruin their plans for the night.
Jennie watched as the auction manager made his way to the stage, her lips curling into an evil smirk.
The auction started with the least valuable pieces of jewelry, however, for the common people, these types of jewelry were already very expensive.
It was a beautiful bangle made of white gold and diamonds. Although this type of item was fairly common, this one had been around for hundreds of years, making it unique and expensive.
People started placing their biddings as Lisa silently slid the bidding paddle to Jennie, a silent signal that she could do the bidding instead of him.
Still, this action had not gone unnoticed by Nancy. Just how much did Lisa dote on Jennie, to give her the right to use millions of dollars the way she wanted to?
The jealousy in Nancy's heart was almost making her dizzy. She hated this woman for being so lucky. Nancy once again stared at Jennie before an evil glint flashed in her eyes.
It's showtime.
