Chapter 207
At half past seven, Vicky, Cece, and Mister Kirby arrived at the auction venue, which was a spacious event hall with two floors in total.
The first floor was for ordinary guests who would raise their number plate to bid for items, while the second floor belonged to the VIP rooms where the faces of the bidders were hidden and the staff who were situated in front of the rooms bid in their places.
The auction started at eight, and since they arrived early, there were not many guests in the hall just yet.
Cece had never been to an auction before; everything was new to her.
Though Vicky lost her memories, she had seen enough to know that the VIP rooms in the auction could not be bought with money alone.
She glanced at Mister Kirby, who happened to be looking at her as well.
She froze when their eyes met, and he smiled lazily. “What is it? Any questions for me?’
Mister Kirby was a mysterious man and up until this very moment, all she knew was his family name. Of course, everyone had the right to their privacy and secrets, so she did not intend to pry.
Vicky thought about it and said, “Nothing. Just curious. Are you here to bid for a particular item, Mister Kirby?’
He chuckled. “There is something I want.’
“What is that?” she asked curiously.
“You’ll find out soon.”
Since it was still early, they chatted and waited after entering the room.
10 minutes before the start of the auction, Cece stood to head to the washroom and Vicky was about to follow her, when Cece made a sharp turn and returned to the room almost as soon as she was out.
Her eyes darted around as she avoided Vicky’s eyes as she muttered, “I changed my mind, Vicky. Let’s just go after the auction ends.”
Vicky frowned. “But the auction is to last for three hours.”
“It’s fine. I was just going to wash my hands and touch up on my makeup. Since it’s about to start, I don’t think I want to go after all.”
Cece was never one who could hide her feelings, and since Vicky knew her all too well, she immediately came to a realization and turned to look outside the room with a dark expression.
The glasses of each of the rooms on the second floor had been processed in a way that the people outside would be able to see what was inside, but the people inside the room would get a clear view of the entire hall.
This way, the bidders’ privacy was secured and they would be able to view the items clearly.
A slender, handsome man was stepping into a certain room, followed by a curvy, beautiful woman. By the time Vicky gazed outside, she could only see their backs.
Vicky was extremely familiar with the two figures in the distance and instantly recognized that it was Tyler and Sheila.
It was not a wonder that Cece did not want her to go outside as they would have run into Tyler and Sheila.
If anyone from the press photographed them, the headline the next day would be [When the New Lover Met the Ex].
Feeling numb, Vicky said, “Alright. Let’s wait until the end of the auction, then.”
Cece was about to console Vicky but stopped when she noticed that Mister Kirby was looking at them.
Ten minutes later, the auction started.
