You’ll Fall For Me, Today Or Tomorrow Chapter 272

From far away, Luke beamed at Clarissa. There was a lot of courage behind that smile.

Clarissa had barely reacted when someone else offered a higher bid, “Eight hundred thousand.”

The bidder was none other than Joshua.

Clarissa’s companion got smug again. He lifted his chin and looked at Luke, deliberately provoking him.

Oh, honey. I can’t beat Rissa’s husband, but I can surely beat a player like you. Don’t you want a show? I’ll give you one!

Yaala put on a mysterious grin and cast a curious one at Clarissa, who rubbed her forehead in exasperation.

It was then that someone else offered an even higher bid.

“One million.”

It was Ryler.

He wanted to stir the pot.

Clarissa’s eyelid began to twitch as Luke went on to increase the bid.

“One point five!”

“One point eight!” Joshua called out.

“Two million!” Ryler went a step further.

The scene might be incomprehensible to many, but some members of the audience were beginning to get what was really going on. A few seemed to have spotted Clarissa, and they vaguely recalled her as someone’s fiancée some time ago. Moreover, she was a beauty!

The host kept going, “Two million! Pretty ladies do get special treatment, it seems! Does anyone else want to raise the bid?”

Did he say “pretty lady”?

That seemed to be the case. Other than Yaala, the award-winning actress, there really was another beautiful woman in the hall.

Is that Clarissa?

Some people were surprised to meet the real deal. They never really pictured how she looked like. A few of them even started taking pictures of her.

Two point one, two point two…

More and more people joined the bidding.

Eventually, Luke and Joshua were not the only ones competing for the manuscript. Clarissa simply could not understand what was going on. Initially, she thought that a hundred thousand for a manuscript might already be stretching it a little too much, so she definitely did not expect the bidding price to go up to five million.

Of course, unbeknownst to her, the tycoons were rolling in money, so to speak. Most importantly, they would do anything to please a pretty lady.

The bidding gradually became an intense bidding session. The host liked where this was going. He thought of inviting Clarissa to come onto the stage. Her presence would surely encourage the men to bid more. As the host, it was his job to get these people to loosen up their pockets.

“Hold on, ladies and gentlemen. Since everyone has been so generous today, why don’t we invite Ms. Quigley to come up here and say a few words? We can resume the bidding after that.”

“Sure…”
