I already knew who it was before I even turned. "My nephew wants it." From where I sat, I could see his jaw work as he grinded his teeth, his hands clenched into fists on the arm of the chair.

"Lucas" I cried.

There was this mischievous glint and playful smile on his lips as he spoke that silently assuredthat nothing could go wrong. Then he chuckled, "It always feels like teasing a puppy.
I relaxed and leaned into him, "Can you get any more childish?" I shook my head. "You guys are so childish but I think I like this game. How much are your willing to bid the highest?" He smirked and glanced above my head, "Let's see..." he chuckled. "With that look? I might have to let the puppy have its milk.
I turned and followed Lucas' gaze. Mark's knuvkes were almost white as he gripped the paddle and raised it. The rage and determination on his face had no borders. "Two million dollars." Even I gasped along with everyone else.
I felt Lucas' shift and I quickly turned to him. "You're not doubling that amount!" I glared at him and said sternly. "Con, I wouldn't do that." His gaze shifted fromand traveled to where Mark was seated.

I swallowed and turned to Lucas, the fear of his Mark's anger retuning to my body. "Lucas," I whispered, even though no one would hear us even if they tried. "I think he wants to hit someone." "That would be me," Lucas chuckled nonchalantly. "Well," I stuttered and lifted my shoulders in a nervous shrug. " could be me. You can never tell." "He wouldn't dare when I'm with you."
"Nah," I shook my head and resisted the urge to look his way, "I'd rather not sit here and wai forhim to make almove started to rise from my seat, "I'll just go hide in the restroom, okay?" I flashed him a sweet smile. Lucas laughed, "Sydney, that's ridiculous. He would do nothing." "See you at the end of the auction," I ignored his words and pressed a kissto his cheeks.
He smiled and gave my hand an assuring squeeze, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on him. Go ahead."
"Alright. This one is sold off at two million dollars!" I heard the auctioneer announce as I hastened my steps to the restroom. Thankfully, there was no one there when I got there so I do t have to worry that someone would bug me. I sat myself on the closet in one of the stalls and aimlessly scroll through social media. My lips would curve into a smile whenever any post of my company cup or reviews about our services.
