Chapter 31 Deadly Gentleness
In an effort to increase everyone’s enthusiasm, every time an auction item was successfully bid on at that evening’s charity gala, the staff would bring it to the bidder to pay by card while simultaneously handing the item to the bidder.
Because it was a charity gala, everyone who came did not pay any deposit. The organizer was also worried that some people might place impulsive bids and, in the end, could not afford to pay for them.
Hence, every auction item would be sold one by one. After the deal was done, the result for the previous item would be displayed on the big screen before the auction for the next item started.
In that way, everyone could see at a glance who spent how much money on what auction item.
Humans had always been competitive. No one wanted to be overshadowed by others, even when doing. charity work.
It was precisely because of their humanity that the organizer designed such procedures.
Soon, two staff in gowns walked over to Julian, one holding a card machine and the other holding the bottle of perfume.
Both of them were very polite.
Julian swiped the card and took the perfume.
Everyone kept looking at that side. They just wanted to see if it was Julian who swiped the card or Annalise.
Seeing Julian’s smooth and fluid motion, they felt that he was even more handsome and thought, “He must be the heir of a wealthy family!”
