Theo was in booth number 1, and Ellinor was in booth number 7.
After a few ordinary antiques were auctioned off, several oil paintings, the main attractions of the auction, were brought onto the stage. The auctioneer professionally introduced the era and the value of these paintings, before starting the bidding at a million dollars!
“1.5 million!”
“2 million!”
“3 million!”
Eventually, these paintings were won by a mysterious buyer from booth number 1 for a whopping 1.8 million dollars, causing a stir among the spectators!

“Number 11 bids $700,000!”
“Number 5 bids $750,000!”
