Chapter 36.1 Do You Think I Have No Heart?

Imogen followed Troy to the front row. On a certain seat in the first row, Sarah turned around and waved to Troy.

“Troy, this way.”

Troy glanced at Imogen and walked over with a raised step. Imogen felt stiff all over, and the smile on her face disappeared. She had thought that Troy would sit alone with her. She had hoped to win Sarah over, but it seemed like Troy had other plans.

“What are you standing there for?” Troy turned around and asked Imogen. Imogen lowered her eyes, took a deep breath, lifted her feet, and walked forward. She sat down next to Troy, saying, “I didn’t expect Miss Page to be here too.”

Sarah turned pale, bit her lower lip, and said softly, “Imogen, I’m sorry. The agent asked me to come, and I didn’t know you would be here. If you don’t like it, I can sit in the back.”

As she spoke, Sarah stood up and started to walk towards the back. However, Troy grabbed her wrist and said, “No need, you can just sit here.”

Sarah glanced at Imogen hesitantly and said, “But…”

“It’s okay, she won’t mind,” Troy reassured her.

Imogen tightly grabbed her skirt with her hands on her legs, feeling heartbroken and unable to breathe. She couldn’t help but wonder how Troy knew that she wouldn’t mind. Did he think she had no heart? With her emotions in turmoil, she closed her eyes and tried in vain to calm herself down.

Seeing Troy gently coaxing Sarah by her side, Imogen’s heart was consumed with jealousy.

Imogen picked up the booklet, an introduction to all the auctions that would take place that night, complete with names, pictures, and materials. She urgently needed something to divert her attention; otherwise, her emotions would get the best of her.

As she flipped through the pages, her mind struggled to concentrate.

“Do you like this?” Troy suddenly said in her ear.

Imogen regained her composure and looked at the open page of the booklet. It displayed a stunning jade bracelet with a clear blue glass background, named Heart of the Sea, which perfectly matched her skirt.

Imogen nodded.

“I will give it to you,” Troy said.

“Thank you.”

Initially, Imogen was curious and excited about the charity dinner. However, now her interest had waned, and she felt drained.

Meanwhile, Sarah was quietly discussing the auction items with Troy.

“This tooks good,” Sarah pointed to a jewelry item on one of the pages.

“Want it? Okay.”
