"Of course not, Mr. Catalina."
Tom said with a smile after he recognized who she was.
Catalina was alone. Butler Reagan stepped back.
"I heard that there is an auction here and I want to have a good time. When I wanted to borrow a private room, I heard that count borrowed it first."
Catalina explained why she was here first.
The other rooms had been booked, so it was not appropriate to let the dean of the Royal Academy go downstairs.
"I just want to see the fun."
Catalina greeted the person who led Tom.
Then she focused on the auction list in her hand.
She wrote and drew with a dipped pen from time to time.
The voices below gradually faded away.
The auction was about to begin.
The curtain fell.
"Don't be nervous, Cynthia."
Someone patted on the auctioneer's shoulder and encouraged her.
Although this was her last auction.
Catalina took off her glasses.
"Count is just here to watch the fun?"
"If there is something good, I will also consider buying it."
