Chereads / Ruthless Goddess / Chapter 2 - Bidding

Chapter 2 - Bidding

A brown skinned overly handsome, Silver-eyed and black haired man with little black sexy beard sat in his office with his eyes glued to his tablet with an amused look on his face. Suddenly, a handsome brown haired and blue eyed man walked in.

"well, it seems like you have no intention of putting this away anytime soon." the man who walked in said.

"I will, Matt. But I am still curious to see till were it is going" the man told Matt still having a playful smirk on his face.

"I thought you would be in another kind of mood, because that company is on par with yours, Eder" Matt said with a slight frown after having taken his seat on the cushion chair in front of Eder.

"I have been at the beginning. But now, I am more and more intrigued by the owner of that company." Eder replied still watching the variation of the lines on the graph.

" Despite all, it is like she is determined to out pass you" Matt noticed also looking at the graph on his phone.

"well, that will not happen." Eder said with a little smirk on his handsome face. "though I admire her tenacity. She is really relentless and I look forward to finally meeting her at the bidding tomorrow" a small smile curved on his lips again as his eyes shone with interest.

"then before we get there, you might as well take care of other things" Matt said keeping his phone back in his pocket. Eder raised his head and looked at him. His whole demeanor and expression changed from playful to serious.

"what is it?" then they started to talk about their business.

The evening quickly came and Dahlia was home with her sister. They sat in the parlor with wine glasses. Dahlia had her eyes glued to her tablet still on the graph, while Freya was busy chatting.

"I heard the bidding was taking place tomorrow and you are going" Freya spoke.

"yes" Dahlia replied.

"why?" Freya asked causing Dahlia to raise a brow.

"what do you mean why? I decided to attend it"

"I want to go also"

"why?"

"because I want to attend it" she replied. Dahlia narrowed her eyes. She knew her sister all to well, their was something motivating her to go to that gala. "don't look at me like that. You always say I should learn right?"

"yes, you should" Dahlia replied still suspicious.

"then don't look at me like that" Freya said standing up. "I will go look for a fine dress"

"I suppose from my dressing?" Dahlia asked behind but Freya did not reply and rather disappeared from their. Dahlia sighed. She knew Freya would definitely go to her dressing when looking for a fine dresses, even though she has beautiful ones herself, since Dahlia bought dresses she never wear so she did not care.

The next day went by as usual until it was time to go to the party. The sisters had made themselves ready . Freya was wearing a blue silky evening gown straight sexy gown that was at the same time hugging enough to reveal her body curve and loose enough to not reveal much and it reached her knees. Her hair was beautifully made, she looked regal.

While Dahlia was wearing a black evening gown with long sleeves. It reached her knees and the dress was hugging her body perfectly to show her every curves. Simple elegant just like she liked. She wore a golden chain on her neck and her short hair was tied in a loose bun with strands falling over her pretty face.

As the sisters sat in the car, Dahlia was feeling that Freya was a bit nervous. This made her suspicions to raise again.

"what is making you so nervous?" Dahlia asked her sister.

"me? Nervous? No I am not. What makes you think that?" Freya blinked innocently but under the stern gaze of her sister she gave up. "okay, I am looking forward to meeting a man"

"which man?" Dahlia narrowed her eyes.

"I will tell you more when we reach" Dahlia did not probe more. She would wait and see.

After a short while, they stopped at the venue. The driver came down and opened the door for Dahlia while the valet that was standing there opened Freya's side. The sisters then walked into the place. As soon as they walked in, murmurs died down and all the gazes were magically attracted to them. Most especially to Dahlia. But none of the sisters minded. They went to their designed place and sat down. A short while later, the murmurs which had risen again, died down and the gazes traveled to the brown skinned handsome man walked into the place. He was dressed in a fine black suit with no tie. He had a golden chain on his neck which was revealed due to the fact that his buttons were opened. He had a very relaxed demeanor and at his arm a pretty brown haired white-skinned woman dressed in a sexy black revealing evening dress. They walked in the place and to their designed place. Which was on the opposite row to which Dahlia and her sister were seating.

"look sis, he is here" Freya said nodding to somewhere behind her. Dahlia turned her head sideways to see who her sister was talking about and her green eyes met his silver ones. She narrowed her eyes at him as a small smile curved on his lips. Dahlia removed her gaze and glared at her sister.

"you are not serious?" she asked.

"why not?" Freya said.

"don't you see he is with someone?"

"so what?"

"Freya!have a hold on yourself." Dahlia scolded sternly and Freya cleared her throat

"what? I can feel it. He is just like us"

"that's not the point here. This man is-" Dahlia was cut off when the lights went out suddenly and the MC walked on the stage.

"we will talk about it later" Dahlia whispered. Freya straightened in her chair and gave her sister a curious look.
