Chapter 70: Bidding Wars

Not wanting to make a scene, Laina walked back over and grabbed Kol by the hand, and pulled him away. By the time they finally found their new seats, the auction was just about to begin. 

The lights dimmed as the auctioneer walked up on stage. He first introduced himself to the attendees before introducing the first item of the day to be auctioned. For the first few rounds, Laina observed how the bidding went down. 

Through her observation, she learned the different tactics different people used to bid for the items they wanted. She noticed that the three women particularly enjoyed bidding on pieces with glittering gemstones. 

Laina grinned as she came up with a brilliant idea. 

The auctioneer brought the next item up for auction. Under the spotlight, the art piece sparkled as all the gemstones capture the light rays at all the right angles. There was a lot of buzz amongst the spectators.
