Each one moved like royalty, fingers stretched slightly, wrists relaxed, as if bidding on a million-dollar dress was just part of their usual Tuesday evening.
Immediately eyes shifted toward them in admiration and curiosity. A few murmurs flowed through the audience like soft wind. These weren't just random rich people. These were names, names that sat on business boards, that influenced markets, that wore wealth like it was stitched into their DNA.
