Katherine's heart was frantic before she started her presentation, and when she was up on stage, she was even more nervous but it didn't show on her expression. She looked calm, prim, and proper. She was elegant with the way she carried herself. And now that they were waiting for the result, she was both excited and anxious.
The room where all the bidders waited had round tables in the middle while food and drinks were on the sides. When everyone went back to their seats after greeting her, Katherine also headed to where her team was seated but just then, a woman's voice called her name.
Turning around, she saw Margaret Hara. "Congratulations," she said with a charming smile on her face.
Katherine looked at her waiting hand and then returned a sweet smile of her own, ignoring Margaret's extended hand. "Thank you."
