Steve, was the one who had called out the initial bid of one million dollars.
He wanted to set the bar high right off the bat, to intimidate any potential competitors and ensure that only the big players would be left in the game, that was his reason for being a co-organizer.
But before the auctioneer could even acknowledge Steve's bid, another voice rang out from the crowd.
"1.1 million dollars!"
The bid had been raised, just like that.
Suddenly, the room erupted into a frenzy of activities. Bids started flowing in fast, each one higher than the last.
"2 million!"
"2.5 million!"
"3 million!"
The numbers climbed higher and higher, until finally, the entertainment mogul raised her paddle.
"4 million dollars."
she declared, her voice ringing out clear and strong.
Upon hearing what she just said the room fell silent, everyone turning
to stare at her with a surprised look Written in their faces.
