That's how it was in Calbery. Good news might not spread, but bad news would be all over the city.
When I arrived at my seat, I found Harper and Grace sitting beside me.
"Isn't it a surprise to see you at the auction, Zelda? Where's Axel?" Grace had this kind of charm that, the moment she spoke, made me feel disgusted.
"Zelda, when someone doesn't love you, it's painfully obvious."
Harper was just as sickening.
I rolled my eyes and turned my attention back to the auction.
The items being auctioned were mostly unremarkable and everyone was just waiting for the final piece, the pigeon blood red.
As expected, when the pigeon blood red appeared, everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.
“No matter who it is today, don't compete with me! This pigeon blood red must be mine!” Harper said confidently.
Although I also liked it, I wasn’t willing to spend a high price to compete with them.
“Thank you, honey!” Grace kissed Harper on the cheek.
It seemed that Harper quite enjoyed it.
At that moment, a voice interrupted. “Miss Frost, Mr. Knight said that the pigeon blood red will be given to you as a gift!”
It was only then I noticed that Axel's assistant had been by my side the entire time.
