Your Guise Is Slipping, Miss Pearl romance Capítulo 25

Pearl turned him down as she had something important to do. She left the party and got into a car, where Wanye was waiting.

"Are you all better now, Miss Pearl?”

Pearl laughed. "I've long recovered. Let's go. Step on or it’ll be over before we get there.”

Wayne nodded and stepped on the gas.

They headed to an underground market. There was an auction for an advanced computer there tonight. It was said that it was a computer once owned by the world's top hacker, and there was only one such computer in the whole world. Pearl liked fiddling around with these kinds of things, so had to get her hands on this computer.

When they arrived at the scene, they were just in time for the climax of the auction. The computer was the last item to be auctioned. The starting price was 1 million and 3 hundred thousand dollars. Everyone was taken aback. Pearl remained quiet. When the voices subsided, she started to bid for the computer.

"16 million dollars. Any other offers?"

Wayne slowly raised his paddle. "17 million."

"Any other offers? 17 million dollars going once. 17 million going twice..."

"27 million."

Pearl's face stiffened. She looked around and spotted a familiar figure. Unfortunately, many people here were wearing glasses, so it was hard to tell a person’s real identity.

"41 million." Wayne continued to increase the price.

41 million dollars was a high price for a computer. No one else offered a higher price except that strange man in glasses. He raised his paddle and said, "54 million."

54 million dollars?

Wayne tilted his head and asked Pearl if she wanted to keep going. She shook her head and said helplessly, "Let him have it."

After she made up her mind, Wayne stopped raising his paddle. At last, the man walked away with the computer.
