Grey raised his tag. “6.7 million dollars,” he announced suddenly. 

Everyone craned their neck backward to look at Grey. It was like they didn’t expect anyone to say anything. It looked like people were intentionally keeping shut. Though, Hattie didn’t turn back, including a guy in a black shirt that sat beside her. 

“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. 

Some guys got up from somewhere and walked out of the room. Somehow, the room was suddenly getting scanty.
