Bernard had no idea what Hera was up to this time but figured that if she wanted to play, he'd play along.

The next day, Bernard left early, stating he had business in Norburgh. He arranged to meet Hera that night at the Astral Nova Auction.

At 7:00 pm, Hera saw her last patient and sent Catherine and Everly back home. Then she asked Wayne to drive her to Astral Nova.

When they were almost approaching Astral Nova, Wayne saw that the area was jammed with luxury cars, and the parking lot was some distance from the auction entrance.

He told Hera in the back seat, "I'll wait for you in the parking lot. Call me when the auction ends, and I'll bring the car around."

At the sight of the cars moving slowly around the roundabout ahead, Hera said, "Just drop me off here. No need to wait for me. You can head back."

"Alright. Call me if you need anything."

Wayne parked the car.

Hera acknowledged him and got out. She walked toward the entrance.

As usual, a security guard checked her invitation card at the door, and then a female staff member in a Jadonish dress escorted Hera inside.

While waiting for the elevator, a familiar female voice sounded behind her.
