Michael sat on the sofa and looked through the viewing window as the auction began. The two ladies, with Kate seating on his left and Carol on another sofa next to his, watched the stage with interest.
Even though Kate was from a wealthy family, this was actually the first time that she was attending an auction. Therefore, she was curious about what would happen in the auction.
Previously, because of her obsession for revenge, she had not paid much attention to these things. So, although there were several auctions held in Brenton city over the years, she was clueless about them.
As the three looked on, the lights above the audience dimmed, leaving the stage as the brightest spot in the hall.
A middle-aged man in a dark suit walked onto the stage and stopped behind the podium.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to tonight's auction."
A round of applause followed.
"As usual, the first part of the auction is open to all guests."
