Ludwik’s face was etched with a frosty scowl as he watched the scene unfold before him. There was no doubt in his mind that the bewitching woman at Orion’s side was indeed her.
To think she had the audacity to sneak into the auction with Orion and Bryce…
When did she become so shameless, so brazen?
His irritation grew at the thought, but he was determined not to let them have the last laugh.
“Forty billion dollars!” Ludwik declared, his voice resounding like a gavel coming down.
The room filled with gasps, and just when everyone was resigning themselves to the staggering sum as the final bid, a sultry voice laced with a raspy laugh echoed from the back of the hall, “Mr. Lippert, I’ll bid 50 billion. Don’t compete with me, okay?”
Ludwik’s head snapped around.
Across the room, through the temporal divide, the way she said ‘Mr. Lippert‘ short–circuited his nerves in the most inconvenient manner.
In the business world, countless people had called him Mr. Lippert.
Plenty of flirtatious women had called him ‘Mr. Lippert‘ seductively.
But none had ever sent a jolt through his spine and electrified his entire being like she just did.
Damn that. woman.
Ludwik’s muscles tensed as he emerged from his daze, just in time to hear the auctioneer concluding the three calls and slamming the gavel down. “Fifty billion dollars! Skye Gem Ltd. goes to this lady. Miss, may we have your name? And your method of payment?”
“Whitney Valentine,” the woman stepped out from her seat.
Her chic velvet gown trailed to her ankles, with a daring slit up the front, seemingly torn in haste, revealing her porcelain–smooth legs.
With each step, the sway of her figure was enchanting, drawing the eyes of every man in the
room.
She slowly approached the podium, and as the lights illuminated her stunning features, the crowd caught their breath.
Removing her veil, she revealed her full visage, smiling flirtatiously at the auctioneer, “My name’s Whitney Valentine. And the payment will be taken care of by Mr. Orion Lippert and Mr. Bryce Lutz. Thank you!”
The room fell silent, then erupted in murmurs.
“Whitney, that’s Whitney? The former CEO of Skye Gem Ltd.?”
