There was silence for a moment. Everyone was very surprised. Did Hawk Monsanto just bid for a girl?
Every businessman present knew of his reputation as a woman evasive bachelor and also of his recent engagement with ballerina Feather Han. Because of this, they had reservations into believing the rumours going around that he had taken some like on another woman that isn't his fiancee. Was the rumors after all true?
As much as they couldn't believe it, they had heard him all loud and clear. He wanted the girl and for twenty million worth! What the F? Is he out of his mind? They all ended the bid at ten million because as much as they all wanted the girl, as good businessmen, they all thought ten million was already a ridiculous price for someone's company. However, Hawk Monsanto set the price ridiculously higher than it ever was!
