Chapter 404

Jessica then added, “Now, before the charity auction, I have prepared a little social

session for everyone.”

She certainly gained everyone’s attention upon that announcement. Every pair of

eyes were on her as she continued, “We’ll be picking ladies present at random and

auctioning her first dance for the night. As with other proceeds, proceeds of this dance

auction would be donated to the charity organization under Stuart Holdings.”

The ballroom grew a little restless-it was the first time they heard about auctioning a

dance!

But come to think of it, this was a charity ball,1he more the proceeds, the better it was.

In comparison, how said proceeds were obtained was certainly secondary in

importance.

Moreover, those who were taking part weren’t here for the auctioned items-they were

just donating for the sake of glorifying themselves and their businesses.

“Is there any lady who would like to volunteer?” Jessica asked onstage.

The ladies below stage were whispering amongst each other. Some were raring to go,

but they wouldn’t dare to step up for the sake of propriety.

At the same time, Patrick whispered into Cordy’s ears, “Are you going? I’ll bid without

a limit.”

“You’re mental.” Cordy rolled her eyes at him, but he simply shrugged.

Two minutes passed, but no lady was going onstage, perhaps having been waiting for

each other to do it first.

“Since there are no volunteers, I’ll pick by random,” Jessica said, not letting things

cool off. “Now, I’ll pick two so that the ladies won’t feel awkward being singled out. And

since everyone present has their own auction number for the night, I’ll call out two

numbers at random. If your number is called, I would like you to come forward. Your

first dance would hence be auctioned.”

“Alright!” Someone from the crowd exclaimed in approval, and most agreed with the

idea.

Jessica then said, “Well then, let’s go with…Number 36?”

Every lady in the ballroom looked down to check their number; soon, a small voice

could be heard saying, “Here.”

Everyone and the spotlight turned towards the direction of the voice where Noel

stood, looking shy.

However, her chest gown was baring every part of her that could be bared, a rather

calculative getup that was a stark mismatch for her naive, innocent demeanor.

“Oh, it’s Noel!” Jessica exclaimed chipperly, and beckoned at Noel. “She’s a friend

who traveled today all the way from North City. Please, give her a warm round of

applause to encourage her!”

Noel was blushing as she went on stage and stood at Jessica’s side.

In reality, Noel was already raring to go when Jessica announced the dance auction,

since she knew that going onstage was the only way she would make an impressionespecially after she was completely ignored so far in the ballroom. novelbin

But in the end, she wasn’t that thick-skinned and worried that she would cheapen

herself if she appeared overeager. Therefore, she could only bear it.

She certainly didn’t expect herself to get so lucky to be chosen, and worked hard to

repress her excitement so that she appeared very bashful.

The harsh truth, however, was that no one noticed her until she went onstage.

Some of the guests had merely heard about her, but others had no idea at all.

However, her shy, alluring look actually stirred the juices of some of the men present.

Noel, in turn, noticed their gazes. She understood that even if she was no

breathtaking beauty, the maidenly presence she projected would draw the eyes of

men towards her regardless.

She was naturally gleeful on the inside, thinking that she must’ve captivated a good

number of men. In fact, she planned to seduce one tonight…

They were all rich or powerful anyway, so she would be

pleased with any who came.

Beside her, Jessica announced the second number.” Number 62!”

Cordy’s fingers clenched over her auction paddle.
