    “Let’s go.


    Speaking to someone like her is just a waste of time,”

    ”


    “Ouch!” Dwayne groaned exaggeratedly, rubbing his forehead in difort.


    Their banter was interrupted by the start of the bidding.


    Representatives from variouspanies made their way to the main hall.

    Lucinda headed straight to her spot in the front row.
