HOW TO SURVIVE MY ENEMY'S LOVE
ch/05~
I stepped into my office, barely giving the place a glance as my assistant followed behind, telling me today’s schedule. Meetings. Contracts. The usual grind. Then, she mentioned the auction.
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
Cancel it!!
I had no interest in sitting through hours of people overpaying for worthless stuffs
VANESSA VOLKOV (Noel's PA)
There’ll be some important faces there. It could be useful for networking.
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
I don’t need to network. Not with them....And I've enough networks
VANESSA VOLKOV (Noel's PA)
...
The rest of the day passed quickly, meetings, going through the pile of files and many more, it's my daily life thing and I had no complaints, I prefer to over work myself rather than step down from first place in the Business world
And the day came to an end and the annoying part was Vanessa kept maintaining the auction frequently
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
(sighs) okay, tell me what's it's about?
VANESSA VOLKOV (Noel's PA)
(smiles) you must have heard about the royal palace which was locked all these years, today's bidding is on historical things they got from the palace and the money from the auction will be used for building an orphanage in that palace
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
Fineee, but you'll be working overtime this weekend (walks past her)
VANESSA VOLKOV (Noel's PA)
No issues, Boss ☺️
When I got there, the place was full of wealthy people from the city. I found a seat, faded into the background, and watched as the usual people threw their money on paintings and old objects. Nothing I was interested in.
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
(shaking his drink) tell me if there is anything that catches your eyes ~
VANESSA VOLKOV (Noel's PA)
I'm flattered, but boss I don't think I'm in a place to receive such expensive gifts from you
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
That's up to me to decide (take a sip)
Then they brought out a necklace. It wasn’t the necklace that caught my attention, though. I saw a sudden excitement in the atmosphere, They started naming price... quite too much for a mare necklace
Then a voice came from my back, sharp and heavy... I instantly turned back off course I recognised the voice... it's him-
TRISTAN CAVALLARO
15 million ❄️
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
(smirk) Vanessa, let's play a little
She quickly understood my motives, and I'm sure she thinks how childish I'm but it's just how I'm....
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
20 million
TRISTAN CAVALLARO
30 million
I glanced at the necklace again...is he blind?? 30 million for this little piece? Whatever
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
45 million
VANESSA VOLKOV (Noel's PA)
boss!!
TRISTAN CAVALLARO
(after a little pause) 50 million
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
(raise his card again) 60 million
It's not about bidding anymore, it's competition between me and him....
TRISTAN CAVALLARO
65 million
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
80 million
I turned back again, he was glaring at me..... I smiled and sat straight again
It's the only competition I didn't started to win
TRISTAN CAVALLARO
100 million
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
(puts back his card) what do you think? I donated enough for the orphanage?
VANESSA VOLKOV (Noel's PA)
You're unbelievable, he must be pissed off...you raised the price too much
NOEL DE VORTEXIS
(shrugs) like I care...
