Seeds Of Suspicion

Gritting her teeth, the woman opened her mouth and spoke, "$13,100!"

Before her words had a chance to land...

Zane's voice boomed across the room as he fiercely bid, "$13,400!"

The woman was utterly astonished, her eyes widening in disbelief as she fixed Zane with a sharp stare.

$13,400! Who in their right mind would spend such money on a Personal writing notebook?

Even though the notebook was invaluable, she was already at her limit. Spending more than the current bid price was a waste of money.

Like the previous bid, the woman reclined in her seat and sighed in defeat. She was genuinely unlucky to encounter two wealthy individuals at such an event.
