Could it be that he has already left?
Just as Summer Shawcross was feeling extremely anxious, trying to peek through the curtain to see if Noah Drexler was there, the voice she had been hoping for finally came through.
"Two million." The calm, cold voice sounded slowly.
"Oh, it’s Mr. Drexler!" The host showed a surprised expression the moment he heard the voice.
It’s important to know that in tonight’s auction, besides expressing interest in that bracelet, Noah Drexler had not shown interest in any other items or matters!
The moment Noah Drexler’s voice sounded, Wendy Linden’s face on stage turned pale. She angrily glanced at Summer Shawcross behind the curtain, her face turning white.
Behind the curtain, Summer Shawcross was also taken aback.
Two million?
Her heart suddenly sank; she had planned to rely on Noah Drexler to win tonight, but she hadn’t expected... This man truly was a shrewd businessman, clearly not willing to spend an extra penny for her.
Thinking this way, Summer’s heart felt a bit stifled. It wasn’t that she cared about the amount of money, but in this situation tonight, she must win!
"I am willing to bid three million for the lady behind the curtain. From the music just now, I could hear the emotion she put into it. I believe such musical talent shouldn’t be buried," said a man wearing glasses, raising his sign with a smile.
Seeing someone stepping up to compete, Noah Drexler raised an eyebrow, glanced at the anxious figure behind the curtain, lightly curled his thin lips, and then patiently spoke.
"Four million."
"..." Sean Morgan, standing nearby, was a bit confused. Usually, the boss was never stingy with his wife; her food and clothing in the villa were given the best standards by the steward.
Even if the expensive furniture in the villa was ruined by her, he never cared and immediately replaced it with a new one.
Yet today, he unexpectedly changed his usual generous style and suddenly became... cautious and stingy?
Moreover, the boss always disliked wasting time, resolving everything with the most decisive means, yet today he patiently increased the bid by one million at a time.
Sean Morgan couldn’t understand Noah Drexler’s intentions until he saw the relaxed, playful look on his handsome face, suddenly realizing something...
Was the boss intentionally... teasing her by stringing her along?
Thinking this, Sean Morgan’s expression became even more astonished.
Over the years, he had never seen the boss so relaxed at an auction, nor had he ever seen him interested in teasing someone...
"It seems Mr. Drexler is very interested in the lady behind the curtain." Seeing Noah Drexler bid again, the host was somewhat surprised. He looked at the time on his watch, then proceeded to remind everyone.
"There are three minutes left until the auction ends. If anyone else is interested, please place your bids soon."
...
Behind the curtain, Summer let out a long sigh.
Only three minutes left...
It seems she is going to lose today, with Noah Drexler being so stingy, making her feel a bit indignant!
But thinking about the bet she made with Wendy Linden, her heart felt even more conflicted.
Tonight, the bet Wendy Linden wanted was the opportunity to spend time alone with Noah Drexler, her current boss.
She originally thought with Noah Drexler present, she wouldn’t lose, so... she agreed.
