Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 47

“ S ! Mr.

Flynn ! Toast ! Toast someone shouted enthusiastically , their voice brimming with excitement .

“ S ! Mr.

Flynn ! Cheers ! Cheers ! ” everyone was shouting .

The crowd followed suit , their cheers echoing through the lively room .

Yet , after a while , someone noticed an awkward truth

“ Wait , where’s Mr.

Flynn ! ” a guest asked , puzzled

“ Yeah , where is he ? I don’t see him anywhere ” another chimed in , craning their neck to search the room

It was only then that the crowd realized the main attraction of the evening – Mr .

Flynn – was nowhere to be found .

“ Hey , Manager Wu ! ” A guest teased , raising a brow “ How can Mr.

Josiah be the star of the right if he isn’t even here ?

“ Hey , Mr.

Whiter someone teased , raising an eyebrow .

“ How can Mr.

Flynn be the star of the night if he isn’t even here ? ”

“ Exactly ! Are

you trying to trick us ? another guest added , their tone skeptical

“ Maybe S is too much of a treasure – a pearl so precious that he’s been hidden away , someone joked , eliciting a few scattered chuckles ,

Henry White , the manager , hurried to calm the room , waving his hands nervously .

“ No , no , it’s not like that Let me explain – Mr .

Flynn couldn’t make it tonight , but he left us a message .”

Henry hesitated , a cold sweat forming on his brow .

He couldn’t possibly reveal the secret agreement an arrangement ensuring Mr.

Flynn’s perpetual position as the top bidder , secured by 100 thousand dollars .

If he let that slip , he’d risk offending the other guests .

The Flynn family may be powerful , Henry thought anxiously , but these people arent to be trifled with either

“ What messige ? ” soncone pressed , suspicion creeping into their voice .

Such an explanation clearly lacked persuasiveness .

“ Come on , Mr.

White , How can someone bid if they’re not even here ? ” another voice prodded .

Someone asked , “ Isn’t the rule at Maze that you have to be present for it to count ? ”

The comment struck a nerve , sparking a wave of agreement .

“ That’s right I Absolutely ! ” Among the most vocal was Adrian , the CEO of the Grandeur Group who had been second to Josiah in tonight’s bidding .

Over the past few weeks , Adrian had spent a fortune supporting 5 and naturally assumed he

would take the top spot tonight

However , Mr.

White had suddenly announced that Mr.

Flynn had won .

Adrian hadn’t dared to challenge the decision – until now .
