Love or Die CEO’s Daily Dose of Swoon
Chapter 139
Chapter 139
Ballaster wasn’t looking to make a scene, he was there on a mission. So he tucked himself away in the back corner, the last row where no one knew his face.
The auction items up till now had been a snore–fest. He and Naylor, both art aficionados, exchanged frowns. This kind of gathering was beneath them.
He was itching to leave, but he couldn’t–not until he’d seen the painting.
Finally, the painting from Mrs. Delaney appeared. But Ballaster was too far back to see it clearly. He caught at blurry glimpse and didn’t think much of it.

The digital image was a tad distorted, so he stood up and made his way to the front. It wasn’t long before he found himself in the first row with a clear view. And there it was–the painting in all its glory!
Just as the auctioneer was about to declare the painting unsold, Ballaster cut in, “Hold on a moment!”
The auctioneer paused, looking bewildered, as Mrs. Collins shot a knowing glance to silence him.
And now, Ballaster could truly appreciate the artwork up close.
