"Attlee, what are you spacing out for? Raise the sign, quick!"
Before Attlee even got a chance to react, Olga and Yolanda had grabbed his hand and raised the sign for him.
The auctioneer exclaimed in surprise, "1.2 billion dollars! It's the same gentleman again! Bidding 1.2 billion dollars! Any higher bidders? Anyone?"
Attlee snapped back to reality and, along with Olga and Yolanda, scanned the room anxiously. To their surprise, no one else was bidding! Even the McMillan Corporation had given up!
"Who would dare to go against the McMillan Corporation? This is unbelievable."
"The thing is, it looks like they're about to win."
"LY, the Collins group, and McMillan Corporation all gave up. This group is insane. What's their name? They managed to hang in there till the end."
"1.2 billion for the first time."
"1.2 billion for the second time."
"1.2 billion for the third time. Sold!"
