Lexie's POV
"so mark, where exactly are we going?" i asked him. we were already walking for minutes and we haven't even rode anything yet. "relax, i can assure you, we're almost there", he replied. as we walked, i got a bit bored, so i started ask him some questions.
"um, mark?"
"what is it?"
"can i ask you about the auction that's gonna happen this afternoon?"
"well, what do you want to know?"
"well for starters, how long have you been making programs, anyway?"
"well, i don't know, maybe 2-3 years, i think"
"ok, so how were you discovered?"
"well, there was a contest for amateur programmers sponsored by top gaming companies that happened, and i, kind of joined and won, so now, those guys would pay me for my works."
"ok, so how much do they pay you for your works?"
"well, i really don't know about that because, well, it depends on them on their bid, but most of the time it's about $200-300,000"
"what?! so you're basically set for life! so why did you continue studying?"
"well, i want to have a diploma to make my parents proud, so the money i earn are used for my education."
"oh, ok. so, what game genre are you going to sell today?"
"well, it's only rpg and simulation-", he stopped, looked behind me and said, "well would you look how time flies, we're already here!"
as i turned, i was really shocked at what i saw.
