Chapter 35 CH 35: Talk To Me

(Laura’s POV)

.

URGHH! Why must I see that pig here bidding for that one piece of work that I had always wanted from Roselle?

I stared at Vincent and kept on bidding with him outbid me every time. My eyes were focused on him and I felt more disgusted when he smiled at me as if it was all a game to him.

I had wished I was close enough to slap his face.

I wanted the painting not only for me but it was because the painting was something my late father wanted to own but never got a chance to purchase it. He had once approached Roselle directly but his offer was refused by her.

“Fifty million dollars to Mister Verdi. Anyone else would like to outbid his offer?” the woman on the stage asked and her question was obviously directed to me.

“Fifty million dollars is a lot of money, Miss Knight” Ray whispered to me and I knew he was right. It was a lot for a painting and definitely above my budget for tonight.
