Bab 88: I'll Bid, Wanna Bet?

🅹🆄🅳🆈

After some grumbling and jeering, Isabella had calmed down again and in the end even renewed her offer of buying me a new outfit which I had accepted this time.

Considering there will be people present at the auction who for some reason are fighting against my safety, I wish to not stand out.

Wearing a pair of high-waisted dark grey pants and an elegant black velvet blouse, decorated with small white stars, I look like I'm on my way to a job interview at the next best publisher but Olivia does look nice in this outfit, her red hair burning on top of the muted sea.

A pair of simple stilettos rounds off the look and I think I've never felt more like an adult.

Two or 3 hours have passed since the registration and preview period and now we are back at the convention center to attend the auction.
