Chapter 8
Rosalind Taylor was a professional perfumer after all, she was very clear about the situation in the industry.
Young Master Miles White, a famous perfumer who never showed his face or revealed his gender. There were rumours that he was a man over fifty, mysterious and solitary, who never actively interacted with the outside world or held any position in any company; hence, the perfume he crafted was genuinely unique.
His perfume not only captured hearts with its scent, but more importantly, it also had medicinal effects. So his reputation quickly spread in the industry. Even those who knew nothing about perfume knew of Young Master Miles White, and respectfully called him the "Great Miracle Worker of the Fragrance Industry".
Such a significant figure actually sent his work to an auction!
And the starting price was ridiculously low!
Compared to her daughter's starting price earlier, Rosalind Taylor suddenly felt as if she was slapped in the face by all the glances cast her way.
Not to mention her daughter, whose pale face dared not lift again.
As for her husband... she didn't dare to see his complexion, knowing his concern for saving face, she and her daughter would surely be scolded when they get home tonight.
As expected, there were many bidders for this perfume.
The price quickly rose from 200,000 to 6 million.
In a matter of three seconds, it had gone up to 10 million.
Heijii chuckled behind his hand.
"Boss…." he carefully called to the gaming girl and said, "Your dad's face has turned green, look at him."
Chloe Collins ignored him.
The bid was still rising—
"13 million!"
"18 million!"
"100 million."
With the clear male voice, the fervent bidding noise suddenly subsided.
Chloe Collins's game snake hit a wall again and died.
She finally looked up at the back of Alexander Foster's head.
She smirked.
He must be mad, this guy.
Heijii's mouth dropped open, and then he slapped his chin up saying, "Boss, Alexander... that's... does he really want this perfume that bad?"
Chloe Collins remained silent, quietly raising the sign, "200 million."
In an instant, everyone's head turned towards her.
It's that same girl again!
Raine Nolan bit her lip, incredulous that Chloe Collins was attracting admiration and curiosity from these powerful and influential people.
Those gazes were supposed to be hers!
At this moment, Alexander Foster made a bid—
"300 million."
Chloe Collins smirked and nonchalantly said, "500 million."
The crowd was dumbfounded. It was just perfume, there was no need for this.
Just when everyone thought Alexander Foster wouldn't take the hit, he raised his sign again: "800 million."
The venue was so silent that everyone's breath could be heard.
They all knew that it wasn't just perfume on offer now but face.
No matter how outrageous the price, it wouldn't be surprising anymore.
Yet, at this moment, Chloe Collins suddenly fell silent and stopped raising her sign.
The perfume eventually fell into Alexander Foster's possession.
A completely stunned Heijii, moving woodenly, approached Chloe Collins: "Boss, you're so evil."
She never intended to buy it in the first place. She was raising the price to toy with Alexander Foster, wasn't she?
What's more ridiculous was, Alexander Foster knew this and still jumped into the pit!
Heijii utterly failed to understand their actions.
Chloe Collins was staring at the back of Alexander Foster's head, deep in thought.
Her eyes lit up with interest.
The auction ended smoothly, Chloe Collins completed the payment procedure, picked up the pearl earring and left.
The two of them went to the parking lot, and suddenly, Chloe Collins stopped, her ears perked up, her eyes half-closed.
"Boss, what's wrong? "
Chloe Collins gave him a glance: "Go to the supermarket across the street and get me some food."
After sending Heijii away, she slowly lifted her eyes, and a person appeared around the corner.
"Young lady, the gentleman wants to see you, please come with me."
