The Winner of The Lunch Date Auction

As Stell and Marci led their agenda for the night, Emma looked at her watch nervously. She didn't know if Marlowe had arrived at the venue or not. The lunch auction winner was about to be announced in a few more minutes.

[Professor, are you here?]

She waited for his reply, but Marlowe didn't send her anything. When he saw Emma look anxious, Therius leaned his body toward her and asked, "What happened?"

Emma pursed her lips and shook her head. "Nothing major… it's just, we are waiting for Professor Marlowe to come and present the auction certificate."

"Is he not here?" Therius asked again.

Emma shook her head. "No. He said he was in Aguilar Wilderness."

"What? That's very far from here."

"I know. But he said he will come."

"How?"

"Uhm.. the Space Master?" 

When he heard Emma mentioned the Space Master, Therius realized that she was right. Lucky bastard, he thought to himself.
