"50,000 dollars!" Keira shouted excitedly and startled the crowd.
Denise, who was also shocked, commented, "Woah, that’s quite high for a start. Hmm, seems like our young General here has a very generous admirer?"
Zach massaged his nape and smiled shyly at Denise’s words. He looked at the crowd to see who was the generous woman but the club lights directed at him were hindering his eyesight.
He couldn’t even bear to see the crowd.
Keira smiled widely when Denise winked at her.
"Isn’t it a bit high? Geez, they usually start at 1,000 and you drop a bombing 50,000 dollars. Who would dare beat you up I wonder." Lana whispered as the crowd gone quiet.
May giggled and muttered, "Yeah, she just killed off the fun. Taking the opportunity from others to participate in the bid."
Then, Denise spoke, "Oh, alright, going once, goi..."
"55,000!" Said another woman at the back who was wearing a hoodie.
"Who the hell is that?" Keira burst out as she looked at the woman.
"Obviously, that woman is in disguise... Look how well she has covered herself." Lana murmured.
"Is she a celebrity or someone famous?" Lana mused as she tried to check the woman with her sharp eyes.
Keira bit her lip and shouted, "60,000 dollars!"
"Ahhh..." the crowd gasped.
Denise shook her head and smiled. She smelled something fishy...
She looked at Zach and said, "General Zach, congratulations... You just broke up the Guinness book of records of my bar..."
"Ladies, at 60,000 dollars going once... goi..."
"65,000 dollars!" Shouted another woman and the crowd looked at her area.
"Isn’t it Brione?" Someone from the crowd murmured.
"Oh yeah, she is Brione, the new uprising star!" One of the men exclaimed as excitement filled the air.
Torin, who ended up watching, felt sulkier. "Damn, what a wasted opportunity," he whispered annoyingly. Three beautiful women were fighting to date Zach while his bro only stood there like a statue with his usual expressionless face, without making any effort at all.
And he must admit, Zach was really amazing. Then, he shook his head as he looked at each woman closely.
The last one who bid was the new idol whose name was currently rocking the entertainment industry, the other one...
Torin frowned because the other woman had a mysterious vibe. "Who would go out to a party in a hoodie and shades. So weird. She’s like a stalker." He murmured and suddenly hoped that Zach wouldn’t end up with the weird lady.
Then, he looked at the generous lady who started with a high bid. He could almost marry that woman if she bid on him like that.
But then his eyes widened and his mouth ended up open wide in shock. "What the hell. Is that Field Marshal’s daughter?" He exclaimed as he blinked several times. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.
"Damn! Lucky, bro!" Torin hissed as he covered his face with his palms, pitying himself for being so unlucky when it came to women.
"Woah, ladies... Three ladies are competing head to head for our General, I’m so speechless..." Denise continued.
"What is this, Lana!" Keira exclaimed as her eyebrows started to crease with annoyance.
"I told you... You will spend a lot tonight, Keira, so you better make the best out of it once you claim your prize." Lana said teasingly.
Keira was the wealthiest among them all. She could spend money into anything without a problem at all because her parents didn’t have the heart to go against their one and only precious daughter.
"70,000 dollars!" Keira shouted.
"75,000 dollars!" The woman in a hoodie followed.
"80,000 dollars!" Brione shouted next, as her eyebrows arched, looking at Keira and the woman in a hoodie simultaneously.
Zach, on the other hand, was already sweating all over because of nervousness.
He was not sure if he should feel proud or anything else for being auctioned at a high price like that. ’Wait, do I need to do more than having a date with them?’ The question started to plaster on his face and Denise noticed it.
Denise laughed when she saw Zach’s uneasy expression.
"Ladies, you are scaring our General, bidding like that," she said in her mic, then looked at Zach.
"Don’t worry, General... You will only date them for tonight. Of course, it’s always up to you if you want to be taken home or not. But I bet it would be you who will be taking home one of these beautiful ladies that are trying to claim you." Denise said jokingly and she was obviously teasing Zach who reddened hard out of embarrassment.
Zach cursed inwardly as he felt like backing out already but it was too late. A date was not bad for a great cause, besides, he was a General. Why would he feel nervous? The ladies should be the ones who should be nervous about him.
Without his knowing, a beautiful smile curved his lips because of his own thoughts, which made all the ladies gasp...
"Ohhhhh..." gasped every woman inside the bar. That smile was so precious. It was manly and striking. There was softness in his eyes and gentleness in his smile.
Without a second thought, a loud and clear voice roared inside the bar.
"100,000 dollars!"
Denise smiled at the sudden silence and said, "Going once, going twice, SOLD!"
