#Chapter2
Irene Payton
/"Hey Vivian/" I hugged my friend Vivian , she's a writer and she's a fun girl to hangout with
/"You're so beautiful , you rock in red/" She said looking at me and I smiled
/"You're beautiful too../"
/"You got number 10/" I pointed at her number
/"I heard that there will be a lot of special people tonight but they're keeping it a secret though. Too bad I can't go back to the backstage to tell you guys/" Vivian said excited
/"So we're going with the bidder as soon as it finishes?/" Beth asked
/"Yeah , we're going to have dinner together. We're literally theirs for tonight/" Today's bidding is not only women but men too
/"The girls went up first right?/" Beth asked
/"Yup , I'm damn nervous. What if a creep bid on me?/" Vivian asked in a really worried tone and right.. I didn't think of that
/"Don't make me nervous!/" Beth said and Vivian chuckled
/"Number 5-10/" Apparently the 1-5 were done , that was fast. I'm so nervous. Vivian went away with the others. Why did I agree to this?
/"I'm nervous/"
/"Don't be../" Beth patted my shoulder
/"Why did I agree to this?/" I asked her and she chuckled
/"Hey don't be nervous okay? You will do fine/"
/"You're confident Beth , I'm not/" Why am I starting to get so nervous?
/"Chill , you might get a hot cute guy tonight/" She squealed and held my hand trying to calm me down. I decided to hear some music to calm my nerves down.
Bruno Mars with his latest song.. That's What I Like
/"Irene.. Our turn now/" Beth said and my breath got hitch
I put my earphone back to my clutch and walked to the real backstage. My hands are trembling right now, my body turned cold. Irene, it's just a bidding and why are you acting like this?
Number 16 already went up and damn.. after this it's my turn
/"Calm your heart down , take a big inhale and exhale/" Beth patted my back and I listened to her
/"This is a bad idea and I won't join this kinda thing again/" I hissed
/"Yes yes.. Whatever but calm your nerves down/"
I heard the number 16 bidding number went up to 13.000$ , she's beautiful. I saw her for a second and she might attract a lot of guys with her jet black hair.
/"Irene, it's your turn now/" I froze as they led me to the stage. I walked out from the back with number 17 attached on my dress. The light was so bright and it stung my eyes. I can't see the audience clearly
/"Number 17 Ladies and Gentlemen. Please introduce yourself/" The MC gave me the mic and I smiled to the audience without seeing them clearly
/"Good evening , My name is Irene Payton. I'm 22 years old/" I said simply
/"That's a short introduction Ladies and Gentlemen , we'll start the bidding now. Start from 5$/" The MC said
/"50$/" Someone raised their bidding number
/"75$.. 100$/"
/"150$.. 300$/" It got up slowly and I'm getting more nervous. I can't see the bidder very well. The lights were blocking my sight to see them clearly
/"400$.. 500$.. 1000$/" It was getting higher and higher. I heard a lot of different voice. A lot of people bidding on me making me nervous
/"2000$.. 3000$.. 5000$..20.000$/"
/"Whoa it's getting up quickly , so Ms. Payton can you give them a lot more about yourself?/" The MC said
/"I'm a baker , I love baking. I don't have special ability that I can show/"
/"She can sing/" I froze when Beth shout that from the back
/"Ohh someone said that , how about you should sing for us a little?/" The MC asked , I'll kill Beth later
/"Okay../" I smiled awkwardly and took the mic back. I decided to sing a short part of So Sick by Ne-Yo. The audience clapped and the bidding will continue
/"Starting from 20.000$.. let's go/"
/"25.000$.. 35.000$.. 40.000$.. 50.000$.. 65.000$/"
/"It's getting higher and higher.. Ms. Payton passed the highest bidder from earlier/" The Mc said and say what!
/"67.000$.. 70.000$.. 75.000$../"
/"75.000$ going once.. going twice../"
/"200.000$/" Someone said and I gasped , my eyes tried to find to person who bid on me that much amount of money
/"200.000$ by number 42 going once.. going twice.. Ms. Payton sold to the bidder number 42/" My eyes landed on the man who hold the bidding number 42. I froze as I realise who he is
/"Wait../" I turned to the MC and he raised his eyebrows
/"Can I reject him?/" I asked and the MC looked at me blankly
/"Can I?/" I asked and he turned to my bidder. I took the mic from his grip
/"Can we re-bid again?/" I asked bravely and the cold pair of eyes who stared at me look at me disbelief
/"300.000$/" He raised his bidding number again and I gasped. People gasped to be exact and I closed my eyes completely piss
/"Ms. Payton , you can't/" The MC said
/"Just end it quick/" I said quickly
/"Ms. Payton is sold to Mr. Cesborn for 300.000$ , you can go down and have a great time Ms. Payton/" I walked down from the stage and took my clutch that the staff handed me.
I walked towards the man that I have been avoiding and cursing for the past 4 years. His eyes were cold and so was mine. He stood there with his glory and all the 7 Gold Lifes kids’ eyes were all on us.
/"Fancy seeing you here Irene/" Joel said in a really cold and hurt tone and I scoffed sarcastically
/"Fancy seeing you bided on me for 300.000$/" I said with the same cold tone
/"Now let's have a nice dinner , shall we?/" He caught my wrist and pulled me out from the ballroom with a lot of people staring at us
I'm in double sh*t
