Chapter 24

　　Jessica came to the event only because of the bet. She wasn't interested in anything at the auction.

　　Terry remained quite silent as well. It seemed that nothing had caught his attention, either.

　　Yet Terry kept gazing at Jessica. His Terry was impossible to ignore and thus made Jessica quite uneasy. She then turned around and asked, "Anything you fancy?"

　　"Sure."

　　Terry narrowed his deep eyes. He picked up the bottled water, slowly unscrewed the cap, and took a sip. With a sly smile, Terry turned to Jessica. "But the one I fancy cannot be bought."

　　Jessica could tell the suggestive meaning behind Terry's words, yet she pretended not. "That's a pity."

　　"What about Miss Hall?"

　　Terry asked as he fiddled with the bidder card in his hand.

　　Jessica was about to say no when a painting on the wall caught her attention.

　　"That Frida Kahlo's artwork looks nice," said Jessica.
