Inside VIP Room No.1, Ethan sat with his legs crossed, eyes calmly scanning the auction floor through the one-way glass. The rest of the group,Natalie, Jasmine, Rhea, and Alistair were seated behind him on the velvet couches. A man in a sharp black suit, wearing white gloves and an earpiece, stood silently beside Ethan. He was the assigned auction advisor.
The advisor had originally expected Alistair Hayes to be the one leading the bidding tonight. After all, he is The Alistair Hayes. But when he turned to Alistair for confirmation, the older man simply gestured at Ethan.
"You're here to assist him," Alistair said casually, leaning back in his chair.
"Him?" The advisor blinked in mild surprise, then quickly corrected his posture. "Of course."
He didn't press for details. It wasn't his place. His job was just to support the client. And if Alistair Hayes said this young man was in charge,then that was all the answer he needed.
