章 106: The auction

While all the craziness was happening online, Rachel had no idea. She stood there nervously, watching the beginning of the bid take place while nervously tapping her fingers on her thighs. Once in a while, her gaze moved down to where Noah was seated in the crowd, but he never looked in her direction, even once, even though he wouldn't have seen her either.

The picture she had noticed the boys staring at before she left was revealed, and to her shock, her brother put in a serious bid for it.

The starting price was 20 bucks, but he jumped and called out "200," surprising all of them. Rachel looked at him in confusion. She didn't think he was buying it because he had a thing for artwork. So why was he buying it? 

With a smirk on Noah's face, he raised the bid, calling out, "300." Everyone was even more surprised and had to look back at the person.
