Auction ( Part 1 )

"Thank you. It's been a while, senior."

Wallace greeted Vanessa in return.

"I'm also here, you see?" Tristan said pointing his fingers to himself. 

"Haha... Of course, Tristan. Thank you for inviting me here." 

Vanessa and Tristan were very welcoming to him as they chatted for a moment. They then led Wallace to a VIP entrance as they accompanied him to the fifth floor of the building. 

Since the crowd was not able to hear their conversations, this made them create their own assumptions about Wallace's identity. 

"Did you see that? They escorted him!"

"Yes... He doesn't look that important at first glance."

"Who was that guy? Anyone recognized him?"

"He wasn't even in presentable clothes."

"He's young, maybe he was Miss Vanessa's classmate?"

"Mostly likely or maybe a relative... Anyway, it shouldn't be necessary to escort him like that unless he's an important individual."
