Chapter 11 The Charity Auction
The bidding was started at 5 million, shortly, 50 million.
"50 million as a bid, 50 million, 50 million..." Just as the auctioneer was about to lift the hammer.
"60 million."
In the mellow voice, there was an irresistible domineering.
Sophie Lopez's sight was moved on to the direction where the voice was coming from, she saw an arrogant look. Sophie Lopez's heart was beating faster, and she suddenly had a familiar feeling. Looking at the face again, she kept denying it in her heart. If it wasn't for his faint smile with estrangement, she would have thought that he was a pop star. She had never seen such a pretty face before. If she had seen it, she would never forget. Although he was smiling, she showed a sense of alienation. Those dark eyes seemed to be able to seen through people. Sophie Lopez instinctively avoided his eye contact which made her extremely uncomfortable.
Maybe it was her illusion. She felt like being seen through. This was the last auction was bid at the price of 60 million.
At the dressing room on the second floor of the hotel, Sophie Lopez was removing her makeup. She heard the door opening, and asked without even looking, "David, have you seen Carl?"
"Miss Lopez."
Sophie Lopez turned her head, and was very surprised to see a man who should not be here, it was him.
"Mr. Brown , what are you doing here?"
Seeing that the tall man was approaching, Sophie Lopez instinctively stopped what she was doing, and looked at Matthew with concerns.
The reason why she remembered his name was because he was the one who got the emerald necklace in the auction. But why was he here? What was he doing in the dressing room?
"I don't know why. At the first sight of seeing Miss Lopez, I felt like we had known each other. It seemed that we had known each other for a long time, so I have to come here." Matthew Brown said. He opened the delicate jewelry box with the precious auction and showed it to Sophie Lopez.
"Is there a problem with the necklace?" She was only the host. Even if there was something wrong with the necklace, it has nothing to do with her.
"No. I think this necklace is perfect for Miss Lopez to wear, I hope that you can have it."
Sophie Lopez's head was filled with question marks. "Am I hearing it right? Is it the way that Mr. Brown gets women?" She thought.
Looking at the precious, Sophie Lopez was more frightened than surprised. She was very sure that this was the first time she had met this Matthew Brown.
"What kind of man gives such precious jewelry to a woman he just met. Even if he is crazily rich, this is 60 million dollars we are talking about! And you just give it to a woman you just met? What if it's just a trick to pick up girls?" Sophie Lopez was having all these questions in her mind.
As Matthew Brown was trying to put the emerald necklace on her neck, Sophie Lopez took a few steps back and said, "Sorry I can't accept it without merit. It's too expensive."
