Irish did not know what had happened, and Joseph would not speak to her. Then, close by, Alston smiled a huge smile, and the people under the stage began to countdown.
"Joseph, are you really giving up?" Irish stared at him, unable to understand it.
Joseph said nothing, but in full view, he put his arm around Irish, and his arm blocked the faint red dot. Irish looked up and tried to look into his eyes. Joseph noticed it, then turned his head and smiled at her. "I had to give up."
Irish frowned, was the price over budget?
She only felt that her body was hugged more tightly, so tight that she was almost breathless. Why was he doing this? Joseph had always maintained a very meticulous public image. Last time he only reluctantly hugged her after she tried all kinds of coquettish behaviors and acted cutely.
The host on stage announced the current bid, 2 billion dollars.
No one continued to raise the price.
