Flirting With My Ex-husband -
Chapter 50
Scarlett wanted to buy her stocks, but many people were interested in her stocks at the same time. To show her sincerity, Scarlett needed to get the piano "the Eternal Love".
Scarlett's aim was clear. The piano was the most valuable item in this auction, so it would be demonstrated in the end.
The others items were jewels and antiques. Scarlett neither knew how to appreciate them nor was interested in collecting them. Thus, she even didn't bother to pay any attention to them but played a game all the time.
"The Eternal Love" wasn't demonstrated until 9 p.m.
Scarlett exited the game, looked at the black piano on the stage and twirled the bidding paddle in her hand.
The starting price of "the Eternal Love" was 1,000,000 dollars. The bidders needed to add 100,000 dollars each time.
Hearing that, Raymond opened his eyes slowly and looked at the piano.
He was reluctant to waste any time and wanted to get the piano as soon as possible. He took a bidding paddle and planned to make a bid of 3,000,000 dollars.
However, someone offstage was faster than him. The auctioneer pounded his gavel and said, "3,000,000 dollars! This lady makes a bid of 3,000,000 dollars!"
The lady made a bid of 3,000,000 dollars at the beginning! The offstage guests burst into an uproar.
Alexander sat beside Raymond and said in surprise," Who made the bid offstage? She is so generous!"
Alexander said as he looked at Raymond gloatingly.
Raymond glanced at Alexander calmly.
The auctioneer said, "3,500,000 dollars! The gentleman in the NO. 2 private room makes a bid of 3,500,000 dollars!"
Scarlett raised her eyebrows and raised the bidding paddle to make a bid of 4,000,000 dollars.
Many people were interested in "the Eternal Love", but Scarlett and Raymond raised the price to 4,000,000 dollars.
To be honest, the piano was not worth 4,000,000 dollars.
Many people, who wanted to bid the piano, all put down the bidding paddles and saw the battle between Scarlett and Raymond.
As soon as Scarlett made a bid of 4,000,000 dollars, Raymond made a bid of 5,000,000 dollars.
He added 1,000,000 dollars at once. Who would be able to afford it?
Although Scarlett could afford it, she was reluctant to buy a pig in a poke.
The price of the piano was less than 10,000,000 dollars when it was a household name. If she continued to compete with the man upstairs, the price of the piano would be more than 10,000,000 dollars soon. It was not worth that much money.
The auctioneer said, "5,000,000 dollars once! 5,000,000 dollars twice! 5,000,000 dollars... This lady makes a bid of 6,000,000 dollars!" Raymond thought that he could get the piano with the bid of 5,000,000 dollars, but the offstage woman continued to compete with him. He frowned and doubted if the auction house hired the woman.
Alexander said, "The offstage woman is generous! She is willing to spend 6,000,000 dollars on the piano!"
He sat with his legs crossed and saw the battle between Scarlett and Raymond with obvious relish. If there was popcorn, he would be happier.
He had known Raymond for a long time. It was his first time to see someone compete with Raymond. It was exciting.
Suddenly, Raymond stopped moving. Alexander felt disappointed. He patted Raymond and said, "Don't you plan to give the piano to the president of the Hreegronia Corporation? If you give up, the offstage woman will get the piano!"
Raymond stared at Alexander coldly as he raised the bidding paddle of 7,000,000 dollars with a poker face.
The guests burst into an uproar. The staff of the auction house almost wept tears of joy.
The auction house only spent 800,000 dollars on the piano, but Raymond made a bid of 7,000,000 dollars for the piano!
The auction house would make a fortune!
Scarlett compressed her lips. She held the bidding paddle and hesitated. Finally, she put it down.
'Forget it. It's not worth that much money.'
