Jessica then added, “Now, before the charity auction, I have prepared a little social

session for everyone.”
She certainly gained everyone’s attention upon that announcement. Every pair of
eyes were on her as she continued, “We’ll be pickingdies present at random and
auctioning her first dance for the night. As with other proceeds, proceeds of this dance
auction would be donated to the charity organization under Stuart Holdings.”
The ballroom grew a little restless-it was the first time they heard about auctioning a
dance!
Bute to think of it, this was a charity ball,1he more the proceeds, the better it was.
Inparison, how said proceeds were obtained was certainly secondary in
importance.
Moreover, those who were taking part weren’t here for the auctioned items-they were
just donating for the sake of glorifying themselves and their businesses.
“Is there anydy who would like to volunteer?” Jessica asked onstage.
Thedies below stage were whispering amongst each other. Some were raring to go,
but they wouldn’t dare to step up for the sake of propriety.
At the same time, Patrick whispered into Cordy’s ears, “Are you going? I’ll bid without
a limit.”
“You’re mental.” Cordy rolled her eyes at him, but he simply shrugged.
Two minutes passed, but nody was going onstage, perhaps having been waiting for
each other to do it first.
“Since there are no volunteers, I’ll pick by random,” Jessica said, not letting things
cool off. “Now, I’ll pick two so that thedies won’t feel awkward being singled out. And
since everyone present has their own auction number for the night, I’ll call out two
numbers at random. If your number is called, I would like you toe forward. Your
first dance would hence be auctioned.”
“Alright!” Someone from the crowd eximed in approval, and most agreed with the
idea.
Jessica then said, “Well then, let’s go with…Number 36?”
Everydy in the ballroom looked down to check their number; soon, a small voice
could be heard saying, “Here.”
Everyone and the spotlight turned towards the direction of the voice where Noel
stood, looking shy.
However, her chest gown was baring every part of her that could be bared, a rather
calctive getup that was a stark mismatch for her naive, innocent demeanor.
“Oh, it’s Noel!” Jessica eximed chipperly, and beckoned at Noel. “She’s a friend
who traveled today all the way from North City. Please, give her a warm round of
apuse to encourage her!”
Noel was blushing as she went on stage and stood at Jessica’s side.
In reality, Noel was already raring to go when Jessica announced the dance auction,
since she knew that going onstage was the only way she would make an impressionespecially after
she waspletely ignored so far in the ballroom.
But in the end, she wasn’t that thick-skinned and worried that she would cheapen
herself if she appeared overeager. Therefore, she could only bear it.
She certainly didn’t expect herself to get so lucky to be chosen, and worked hard to
repress her excitement so that she appeared very bashful.
The harsh truth, however, was that no one noticed her until she went onstage.
Some of the guests had merely heard about her, but others had no idea at all.
However, her shy, alluring look actually stirred the juices of some of the men present.
Noel, in turn, noticed their gazes. She understood that even if she was no
breathtaking beauty, the maidenly presence she projected would draw the eyes of
men towards her regardless.
She was naturally gleeful on the inside, thinking that she must’ve captivated a good
number of men. In fact, she nned to seduce one tonight…
They were all rich or powerful anyway, so she would be
pleased with any who came.
Beside her, Jessica announced the second number.” Number 62!”
Cordy’s fingers clenched over her auction paddle.
