Arrogant President Dotes on Me

Chapter 85 The Auction Items

“Ok, I will convey what you have said to her.” The man in the suit smiled, “However this time I really

hope that you will follow through with what you said and prepare to return home.”

“I will, now please leave.” Baron lowered his head and picked up the wine from the table and looked as

if he didn’t wish to speak anymore.

The man in the suit seemed to have long ago been accustomed to his behaviour since he seemed to

have no reaction to this. After a slight bow he then disappeared into the crowd.

As the banquet went on Andrea could clearly feel that Baron was really not in a good mood.

After she thought about it for a moment, she then quietly said to Baron, “How about we leave here

soon.”

Baron returned to his senses and then looked at her rather doubtfully, “You have something else you

need to do?”

Andrea shook her head, “No, I just feel you are not very happy so I want to take you out for a walk.”

Baron’s expression relaxed, he stroked her hair and then said, “Don’t worry; in a while there is

something I want at the auction.”

“Oh, ok.” Andrea understood that Baron had other things he needed to do so she stopped attempting to

persuade him.

After approximately one hour the auction finally began.

Baron took Andrea’s hand, left the corner of the room and walked towards the queue.

The people on the way consciously spread open a wide path for them.

After she received the full attention of everyone around her Andrea’s mouth revealed a perfectly

practised smile. This time she seemed completely unfazed by the attention, to put it short, she was

already used to this now.

Baron however was not happy with this many people looking at Andrea.

His cold eyes looked around at everyone with a clear warning in his gaze.

After Andrea noticed this she then used her little finger to gently stroke Baron’s palm.

Baron’s eyes lowered and he pinched Andrea’s hand a little hard, “Andrea, what are you doing? Trying

to seduce me?”

Andrea went quiet, “No, I just want you to seriously pay attention the auction, didn’t you say there was

something you wanted here?”

Baron had nothing he could respond to this.

Andrea originally thought that the thing Baron wanted was some kind of rare treasure, so when the

famous paintings, antiques, jade hairpins and rings appeared at the beginning she kept on taking

glances at Baron and thinking was this the item that he wanted.

But the items were all being auctioned off one after the other. She thought that the auction was nearing

to the end now, but Baron still hadn’t said a word.

Could it be that what Baron wanted was not here? Andrea thought quietly to herself.

Until finally the host in front of them said, “Next up is this necklace which was designed by the famous

jewellery designer SIRE, named the Seablue Heart and is the only one in the world. The concept of this

jewellery piece has been projected on the big screen so you can take a look. The starting price of this

product is 10w.”

Baron who hadn’t moved this whole time finally got ready to start bidding as soon as the host said to

begin.

He immediately said, “150,000.”

The crowd that was in an uproar suddenly went quiet; they didn’t expect that the item Baron wanted

was this.

Therefore something unusual occurred during this auction, after the host called the price going once,

no one stepped forward to bid a higher price.

The host understood that no one was willing to go up against Baron just for the sake of this small item

so he smiled and said, “150,000 going once, going twice, and…”

“200,000!”

Before the host could announce the final price for the third time, a voice was suddenly heard from the

corner of the room.

Everyone turned their heads to see who it was, in the end it turned out to be Matthew.

Matthew raised a wine glass at Baron and said, “I also like this necklace very much so I’m afraid I will

be robbing Mr Howard of what he desires.” He glanced at Andrea beside him as if he was implying her

in his words.

Andrea said nothing when she caught him looking at her, but just thought that Matthew seemed to

always be around.

Baron’s expression remained unchanged, “250,000.”

Matthew said, “300,000.”

Baron said, “350,000.”

Matthew said, “400,000.”

…

The whole audience was watching back and forth at both Baron and Matthew continually bidding higher

and higher. Anyone could smell the strong scent of gunpowder between them. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

In the end Baron had the highest price of 600,000 and won the Seablue heart necklace.

Everyone saw that Baron more than doubled the price.

When the host felt the awkward atmosphere at the scene he then came forward and said to round

things up, “At the start I said that following the request of the organizers of this auction, all the proceeds

from the event will be donated to charity. I will stand in for the people who have received donations and

therefore would like to thank Mr Howard for his for his generosity and would like to ask everyone to

give Mr Howard a round of applause.

A big round of applause was heard all across the room.

With this the farce successfully came to an end.

After the dinner, Baron held Andrea who wanted to leave with everyone else and motioned her to sit

down again.

“What is it? Is there still more you need to do?” Andrea moved closer to him as she thought that Baron

still had some more things he wanted to say.

However she didn’t expect that Baron just wanted to put the Seablue heart necklace around her neck.

The dark blue gem reflected the coldness of the night.

When it touched her fair skin, it emitted a mysterious blue light.

“You want to give this to me?” Andrea touched the necklace in disbelief.

Baron nodded his head, “Yes.”

“The necklace is too valuable, I can’t accept this.” After it was confirmed that he was giving this

necklace to her, Andrea hurriedly reached to take it off her neck and return the Seablue heart to Baron.

She really didn’t know that he was getting this item for her; if she knew then she would have stopped

him immediately.

Baron held her hand, “I have never been able to take items back once I have given them out to

someone.” After he said this he took Andrea’s hand and they both walked outside together.

Andrea had no choice but to just let him lead the way.

As they walked past Matthew, Andrea clearly felt Matthew’s gaze on the necklace around her neck for

longer than what was normal.

He then smiled and said, “You really suit this item of jewellery Andrea.”

Andrea paid no attention to him and continued to walk right past him.

Matthew didn’t seem to care about their slightly rude behaviour.

He was left behind them watching the backs of them when a sudden light flashed in his eyes and his

mouth began to curve upwards. He then silently said, “A good show is coming soon, hope you will

enjoy it.”

After Andrea left the banquet hall she stood by the entrance waiting for Baron to bring the car around.

There was then a sudden gust of wind which made her subconsciously flinch; she then wrapped her

arms around her chest trying to keep herself warm.

As she saw the darkness of the night in front of her, her heart suddenly thumped quickly and a sense of

foreboding spread within her mind.

“Why hasn’t Baron come back yet?” Andrea mumbled softly, “How about I go find him.”

As she said this she took out her phone and was about to give Baron a call.

However she didn’t notice that a black figure appeared suddenly behind her.

“Ah –“

Her phone smashed to the floor and as she was knocked unconscious everything slowly plunged into

darkness.

She didn’t even have time to react.
