As the minutes went by, the audience chamber down below began getting filled up with people. The red velvet seats were taken one by one, and all the big shots settled into their VIP rooms. However, all the VIPs were unable to see one another's identities, since the glass covering the walls of one side of the rooms were darkened.
This meant we could see out through our room and actively participate in the auction, but people on the outside could only see a silhouette of us. As a result, our identities were protected — mostly, anyway. They could always simply follow us outside once the auction was over, but even then, we had masks on, so there was no worry there.
I appreciated the fact that this was the way things were set up. I always liked privacy and keeping my profile hidden, so this was essentially the most perfect VIP room I could imagine.
