“6.7million dollars for Mr. fennel.” 

“7 million dollars!” Hattie announced quickly. Grey smiled again. Actually, it reminded him of the first day he met Aphrodite. They had to bid and he won her. Though, this time was going to be very difficult. “7 million dollars for Miss Hattie,” The auctioneer revealed. 

“7.1 million dollars,” Grey raised immediately.
