Everyone: "???"
Jared Roe was almost furious enough to pass out; he figured out that Ava Kent was deliberately teasing him.
"You, you, you... you little girl are really not cute. I really don't know what Young Master sees in you, aside from your face, there's nothing worth looking at."
Of course, besides her face, everything else is only for her Julius to see.
If it weren't for maintaining an elegant and dignified image, Ava would have rolled her eyes.
She turned her head to Lucas White beside her, "Are all your Splendor Pavilion employees this lively?"
Lucas smiled helplessly. Describing someone over thirty as lively, only she could do that.
"They just like to joke around."
Everyone chuckled, bold in thought but timid in action.

The sealed bids were submitted the same day, and the results announced the next day.
Ava wasn't joking when she said she wanted that big black stone; she really asked Lucas to bid for it, and submitted bids for several others as well.
