Chapter 28

: The Auction

“Please,” the manager continued in a sober voice.

“You have to collect this card or I will lose my card,” he pleaded softly. Grey sighed and moved closer to
him.

” Alright, give it to me,” he said with a smile. The manager stretched out the card and as Grey accepted
it, he smiled as well.

“Thank you so much sir, thank you. I really appreciate it!” He expressed his joy.

Grey nodded severally. “Someone from Alfred is going to come looking for me, lead the guy in when he
arrives.”

The manager nodded.” I will do that. Is there anything else you want?”

“Yes,” Grey nodded and moved to sit. “I‘m famished. So, just find me something great to eat. Also, will
you help me to get something from the car?”

The manager laughed.” Mr. Grey, you can send me anywhere and I will gladly go. If it wasn‘t for you, I
would be sacked already.”

Grey saw that he was really appreciative and didn‘t regret forgiving him.

The manager soon went out after Grey sent him to get the suit in the car. Grey was going to take a
shower and get ready for the auction evening. The door soon opened and several waiters walked in,
with different kinds of food.

Grey phone started ringing the moment the waiters had walked out. It was Alfred. “Hello, Alfred.”



“Is everything alright over there?” He inquired. “Are my workers treating you nice?”

Grey smiled. “Fine, Alfred. I‘ve settled already.”

“Good. Also, I received a call from one of Don‘s men this morning. Don doesn‘t have my contact, so I
wonder how his man got my contact,” he expressed his surprise.

” Anyways, he wanted me to pay for his hospital bills and I have. He said someone told him to come to
me for it and I kept thinking it could be you.”

Grey nodded severally, as he remembered his encounter. His men needed him.

“You were right. I sent him after beating him up. Though, he didn‘t know I‘m Hercules. I only told him to
come to you.”

Alfred laughed. “You have to give me the full details when we meet. We will talk later then,” he declared
and the phone went off.

Grey delved into Cioppino.

A soft knock sounded on the door and Grey looked up to realize it was the manager. Though, he
looked unsettled and bothered.

He moved closer to Grey with the suit. “Here it is,” he stammered. Grey regarded him for a moment.” Is
anything wrong?” The manager shook his head. “Everything is fine, I brought your suit,” he safely
placed it on

the seat and rushed out before Grey could say anything else. He looked frightened and Grey wondered
why.



After eating, he called the manager to clear the dishes. Then, he moved to shower. He soon dressed
up. When he was done, it was already six in the afternoon and almost time for the auction.

A soft knock came on the door. “Mr. Grey, it‘s Ken and Saint.”

“Yes, come in,” Grey invited. The door opened and Saint walked in while Ken went back.

“Mr. Grey, I‘m here to take you to the auction.”

Grey nodded and stood. “I was expecting you already. Let‘s go,” he uttered and proceeded outside.

They entered the car and soon arrived at the auction ground. Saint walked in with Grey. Grey adjusted
his suit and settled down beside Saint. There were more than twenty people in the big hall and it looked
like the auction had started already.

“50million! Goes to the first bidder?” The auctioneer announced.

Grey‘s gaze searched around quickly as if he would see Aphrodite or Giovanni. “Where‘s Aphrodite?”
He whispered to Saint.

Saint looked around the hall quickly. “She‘s in the third row, and a column from us,” he explained.

Grey followed his direction and stared at the back of a richly dressed woman. He couldn‘t see her face
but he knew that she was a pretty woman. She was flawless and she sat with a leg crossed over
another.

“The next is a carpet. And it‘s going for 33 million dollars,” the auctioneer explained.

“I will take it,” a man from behind Grey said.

“Are there any bidders in the house?” The auctioneer expressed and when no one spoke, he hit his
table.” Sold to the first bidder.”



“The next is the jewelry,” he said and a picture of the jewelry was displayed behind him.” 14.62 carats
Fancy vivid blue diamond. Who will this rarest gem go to?” The auctioneer grinned in anticipation.” The
opening bid is fifty million dollars.” Aphrodite raised a bid quickly. “Fifty–five million dollars.”

“Fifty–five million dollars to Miss Aphrodite?” The auctioneer inquired but the hall went silent. Aphrodite
was a scary woman and no one wanted to get on her nerves. Only Giovanni has ever done so. And
Well, these two have been on loggerhead. “Ok, this jewelry will”

“Fifty–six million dollars,” Grey said quickly, interrupting the auctioneer.

Aphrodite looked back at Grey, allowing him to see her pretty face. Grey smiled but the glare that
Aphrodite threw his way was enough to show that he had already upset her. He was there because of
her anyways. Gregory told Grey what Aphrodite doesn‘t like Actually, he was going to use what she
doesn‘t like to get her.

“Fifty–six million dollars to Me Grey,” The auctioneer announced happily.

“Sixty million dollars,” Aphrodite said quickly.

Grey smiled. “Sixty million and one hundred dollars.”

“What the fuck!” Someone said from behind.

“Sixty million and one hundred dollars for Mr. Grey,” the auctioneer repeated. “Are you trying to upset
Aphrodite because she is already,” Saint said.

Grey nodded.” I know what I‘m doing.”

Aphrodite looked back at Grey again.” Mr. Grey, how about you let serious people have the fun?”

Grey smiled. ” Sure, I will do that. I‘m sorry,” he apologized.



Aphrodite nodded and looked back at the auctioneer. “Seventy million dollars.”

“Seventy million_,” the auctioneer started.

“Seventy million and one dollars,” Grey cut in quickly.

“Mr. Grey, the bidding starts from one hundred dollars,” Saint corrected quickly but Grey wasn‘t even
listening to him. “Eighty million dollars!” Aphrodite bid, now clearly upset. She looked back at Grey.”
You should back off now, silly brat!”

Grey smiled. “Miss Aphrodite, eighty million dollars is a lot of money,” he winked.” For someone like
you.” He looked up at the auctioneer. “Two hundred million dollars.”

Someone hit the table quickly. “Sold to Mr. Grey.‘‘ Aphrodite looked back at Grey with hatred.
