Preparing For the Auction

Rudy teleported to the pool house, where Maria was patiently waiting for him.

"I have come," he said as soon as he appeared in front of them.

Rias was reading a book, Niti was braiding Vriti's hair, Ruby was looking through her bag, and Jane was watching television while using a phone in her hand.

'I don't know what to say to her. She didn't even react when I teleported here. It's like the television and the phone is more important to her than me. Now I understand how the parents feel like when their kids neglect them.'

Angelica came out of Rudy's body and asked, "Wait, we are going somewhere?"

"Yes, to the auction."

"No one told me about it."

"Because you were sleeping. And I didn't ask you because I already know you are coming with me."

Angelica pondered while making various expressions on her face.

"I don't want to go," she said.

"..."

"I will stay here. You can go with the others."

"Why are you being dramatic?" Rudy sighed.
