Chapter 107 Sapphire Ne
Chapter 107 Sapphire Ne
"Mr. Webster..." Ranita leaned closer towards Chris, "why don''t we stop bidding... this is too
expensive! The starting price is 500, 000 dors but now it has already gone past 1 million dors!"
Auction prices rising slightly was normal but mainly because Ranita saw how determined Brendon
seemed to win this particr item - she didn''t want to waste money fighting over something
unnecessarily!
"Are you sure you don''t want me to keep bidding?" asked Chris leaning towards her - from certain
angles they almost seemed like they could be whispering sweet nothings into each other''s ears -
very intimate yet full of warmth!
Holly sitting on their opposite side gritted her teeth in frustration wishing desperately that she could
just walk up there herself and pull them apart, but she instead found herself being held back by
Shannon who whispered lowly "Holly don''t do anything rash!"
"Shannon! I can''t take it anymore!" Holly''s heart felt like exploding with anger inside her chest.
"Calm down! Your brother is still here!" Shannon was happy to see Ranita getting closer to another
man, which pushed Brendon further away.
"I overheard Ranita saying she wanted this ne earlier..."
"Really? Don''t let her have it, Shannon!" Holly was immediately fired up.
Shannon smiled. "When I buy it, I''ll give it to you."
Holly was even more satisfied now. She would definitely wear the ne in front of Ranita and
make her jealous!
But Ranita didn''t think too much about it. She frowned at Brendon as he bid again and then turned
to Chris. "Let''s not bid anymore."
She had nned on buying the ne as a gift for someone else, but if she couldn''t get it, she
could choose something else.
"No need topete with Brendon."
Chris said candidly, "If you really like it and are under financial pressure, I can pay for it first and you
can pay me backter."

"My bottom line is 1. 5 million. If the price goes over that amount, forget about bidding," said Ranita.
"I''ve seen the catalog before; this sapphire is of good quality. I think we can get it within 2 million.
Are you nning on giving this as a gift?" Chris asked again.
Ranita had participated inrge auctions before but never bought anything herself.
"Well... it''s for an older rtive." She smiled without saying too much; Chris also wisely refrained
from asking more questions and suggested, "This would be perfect for an older female rtive!
Since we''re already bidding anyway, let''s add another 500k and make the final price 2 million. If it
goes over that amount then we won''t bid anymore."
Ranita had been eyeing this ne since seeing its listing in the catalog beforehand-not because
there weren''t other gifts avable but because she didn''t know what else to buy-and now having
found a suitable sapphire ne made things easier for her decision-making process.
"Okay! Thank you so much." Ranita whispered into Chris'' ear with bright eyes and a smile on her
lips-she seemed very happy indeed!
Brendon had been ncing at them several times throughout their conversation; when they
reached a price of 1. 5 million, his eyes darkened as he suddenly grabbed onto Ranita''s arm tightly
while pulling her away from Chris towards himself...
"Mr Stuart? Is something wrong?" Thinking that Brendon might have some urgent matter at hand or
needed help with something important, Ranita pulled back slightly, but saw his handsome face turn
serious and cold as he slowly approached her...
His erged face collided with hers...
Breathing became closer, and the cold winter breath of the fir trees wrapped around them. The
delicate light shone on his sharp jawline, and Ranita''s heart seemed to brighten up with it.
