"Here's the earrings, Mrs. Sebastian." A woman approach her holding the priced earrings inside a glass box.
"Thank you." Pormal na pasasalamat niya at inilahad ang cheke saka tinanggap ang dala nito.
"It's beautiful." Magnus said.
She glance at him and he saw her looking at her before he move his gaze to the earrings.
"Of course, it's beautiful. It's worth a million." Sabi niya at binuksan ang takip saka dinama ang diyamanteng hikaw.
Jewelries. She likes shiny things. She like things that worth money. If anything shit happens, she can sell her assets and get her money back.
"Royal white gold wing-shaped earrings. Price starts at 2 million!"
Kumunot ang noo niya at pinanood sa projector ang hikaw. It's simple. Like for a casual wear and two million is already a huge amount for that.
But maybe it'll suit her?
"Three million." Sabay na bigkas nila ni Hover.
Kumunot ang noo niya at nagkatinginan sila ng kapatid. Naglipat-lipat na rin ang tingin ng mga pinsan nila sa kanilang dalawa ng kapatid.
"Four million." Taas niya sa presyo.
Maybe Hover just said it in mistake. Bakit naman ito bibili ng hikaw?
"Familiar ang design... I think that's the same design for the 25 million necklace that you bid yesterday? Kanino mo binigay ang kwentas?" Usisa ni Homer.
Mas lalong kumunot ang noo niya. Hover bid for a 25 million necklace? Just for a necklace? Anong masamang hangin ang nalanghap ng kapatid niya?
"Ibibigay pa lang." Hover said coldly before raising his hand.
"Six million." Hover said that causes whispers around the hall.
His brother can't be serious. He'll waste that huge amount of money for a simple earrings?
"Seven mil." Pagkokompetensya niya sa kapatid at inoobserbahan ang itsura nito.
Hover's jaw clenched and stare at her coldly. Mukhang nauubusan ito ng pasensya sa pakikipagkompetensya niya dito.
"10 million." He said firmly.
Akmang magsasalita siya ng pisilin ng asawa ang kamay niya kaya napatingin siya dito.
"Let your brother. He's so eager to have that earrings." Magnus whispered.
"Why? Anong gagawin niya diyan? Wala siyang babae!" She hissed under her breath.
"You're not sure." Magnus said and move a little away from table so she can see what is Hover doing, on his phone, beside her husband.
Stalking someone on facebook. What the hell? Nagtagal pa ang titig ni Hover sa isang litrato ng dalaga na nakangiti sa camera.
A girl with a facebook. Surely isn't from the underground. And she seems angelically innocent. And his brother is a heartless beast. He'll just break that girl's heart. Just like her, Hover isn't made for love.
"I know what you're thinking. Just let him." Magnus said.
"For now." She added coldly.
Bumaling na lang ang atensyon niya sa patuloy na auction. Dumating na rin ang hikaw ni Hover at pagkatapos ibigay ang cheque ay umalis na ito.
"Where is he going?" Tanong niya kay Heazen dahil sinundan din ito ng tingin ng kapatid niya.
"To another party. Heixon's mother-in-law's birthday."
