Nagpasalamat siyang nagampanan niya nang maayos ang kanyang pagrampa nang makatapak siyang muli backstage. Pulos papuri ang mga naririnig niya mula sa kanyang mga kasama that made her feel even more better.
"Grabe si Mam Maggie hiyawan talaga yung buong crowd paglabas niya"
anang isa sa kanyang empleyado na siyang sinang-ayunan naman nang mga kasama nito.
"We all did our best guys, and they were all cheering for us"
pagtatama naman niya.
"Asus si Mam pahumble pa"
nagsitawanan na lamang sila sa sinabi nang isa pa niyang katrabaho.
The runway show was a success, hindi lang dahil sa kanya kundi dahil na rin sa galing nang kanyang mga empleyado. They could pass as professional models in real life and she is grateful for each of their efforts just to make sure that all goes exactly as planned.
Ginawa nang mga ito ang mismong hinihingi sa kanila and that is to do a great job in making sure that the bidders is entertained well enough to bid on who they want to bid on in the auction and the highest bidder gets his date for a night.
They were allowed to change into their formal dresses afterwards na siyang ipinagpasalamat niya lalo. Kasalukuyang nasa lounge area sila backstage, inaantay nila na matawag ang kani kanilang pangalan. Kinakailangan nilang muling iharap sa mga bidders one at a time para e auction.
Allison spearheaded the starting of the bidding. The starting bid started at 10,000php, each bidders were able to bid by simply pushing the handheld controller na siyang nakatalaga sa bawat kinauupuan nang mga ito. The device is connected through a system that directly transmits the outcome of each bid sa isang malaking electronic screen na siya mismong center point nang entablado.
As of the moment ay nakakalulang 12,000,000 php na ang nalikom nilang donasyon para sa Cancer Society Of The Philippines. Ito ang institusyong nais nilang tulungan ngayong taon. Nang malaman nang mga tagapangasiwa nang grupo ang kanilang hangarin ay sobra sobrang pasasalamat ang natamo nila mula rito.
Good thing that the bachelors who were invited are generous enough to spend their money on a date and for charity.
"Mam Maggie, tawag na po kayo sa stage"
she wasn't paying much attention kaya hindi niya narinig ang pagtawag sa kanya. Inayos niya ang sarili at tinungo ang platform kung saan sila eksaktong tatayo sa ibabaw ng stage.

She's wearing a simple black body hugging long gown that accentuates her body, matagal na itong nakatambak sa walk in closet niya and Allison insisted na ito na mismo ang kanyang suotin kaysa gumastos pa siya. Nakalugay ang kanyang may kahabaang buhok and she finished her entire look with drop earrings and a mix of pearl bracelets enclosing her left wrists.
"We have here with us on stage my business partner and co founder of Sirens Events, Miss Maggie Faye Montano"
pagpapakilala sa kanya ni Allie.
"She is 23 years old, 100% single and ready to mingle"
pinamulahan siya sa huling sinabi nito, agad namang nagpeace sign ang kaibigan sa gawi niya, wala talagang preno ang bibig nang isang 'to.
"Starting bid starts at 10,000 php"
she set her sights on the screen behind her. There were lists of well known names in one section that she assumes are the names of the bidders and the other column shows how much money each bidder is bidding.
A certain name stood out in the screen behind her, a name that she wishes na hindi kabilang sa mga taong nakikipag bid for a chance to date her... Kash Sanders.
Iginala niya ang paningin sa kabuuan nang buong lugar and searched for Kash. Prenteng prenteng itong nakaupo in his seat. They locked gazes, hers were full of questioning kung bakit nandoon ito vying for a date with her when they didn't end up in good terms nang huli silang magkasama while his gaze were clouded with amusement that annoyed her more.

"Highest bidder of the night for Ms. Montano, is Mr. Garrett Arellano of Arellano Law Firms"
nakaramdam siya nang ginhawa dahil sa tinuran ni Allison, she was about to be taken to her date by one of the ushers nang may lumapit kay Allison at may ibinulong rito.
"We have a slight misunderstanding here folks and I sincerely apologize"
nangunot ang noo niya sa sinabi nang kaibigan sa mikropono. Anong misunderstanding ang tinutukoy nito? E klaro pa sa sikat nang araw na mas malaki ang bid ni Mr. Arellano amongst those who were bidding for her as well.
"Mr. Sanders bidding currency is in Euros"
causing her to glance up the screen, nakalagay doon kahanay nang pangalan ni Kash ang 1,000,000 "php" na siyang na outbid naman ni Mr. Arellano. The bidders were using Philippine currency... except for Kash which shocked the spectators.
Hindi siya makapaniwala na handa itong magbayad nang ganoon para lang maka date siya na siyang ayaw naman niyang mangyari, mas nanaisin pa niyang wag na lang sanang muli magkrus ang landas nila na ipinagkait naman sa kanya ng tadhana and what about her baby? what if he finds out?...
Panic flowed thru her system suffocating her reserve, the place started to spun that cause her knees to unbuckle under her weight at unti-unting nilamon nang kadiliman ang kanyang paligid.
