Camila White’s voice floated through the phone, soft and calm, steadying Eric Bailey. “You’re overthinking it. We’ll deal with problems as they come. We got past the first hurdle, and we’ll handle the next one too. What matters most right now is that you find out everything about that woman, and help me get officially engaged and married into the Ramirez family. That’s what’s important, okay p>
Eric was still uneasy, but he knew Camila was right. They needed to focus on the biggest issue first.
“We haven’t seen each other in ages. Let’s meet up soon p>
Camila’s patience was wearing thin, but she hadn’t seen Eric in over two weeks, and she still needed him on her side. She had to keep him close for now. Thɪs chapter is updated by.net
“Fine. Once you get the info on that woman, we’ll meet p>
Before leaving, there was still one last auction at Billy Firth’s place.
Ava Thompson handed Natalie Watson the guest list. “Mr. Ramirez is interested in a few porcelain pieces this time. He’s coming too,” Ava said.
Alexander Ramirez’s name was right at the top, followed by Samuel Thompson and Bruce Ward.
Natalie nodded and closed the folder. “How about giving this auction a try yourself?” Ava’s eyes went wide in shock. “Wait, you want me to be the auctioneer p>
“You’ve trained with me for so long, and I know you watch all those auction videos in your free time. It’s not enough to just study. You have to try for real Think of this as your shot Natalie could see Ayas passion for the job, and she believed in her talent. She wanted to help her grow.

Cabinda’s two
most powerful
families-watching from the
audience.
Natalie gave her shoulder a reassuring squeeze. “I believe in you, and you should believe in yourself too. After this auction, I’ll send in the request to officially make you an auctioneer p>

Since the main items were ancient Kaston porcelain, the place was packed with both pro and amateur collectors. The room buzzed with excitement until the media’s attention swiveled to the entrance.
Alexander Ramirez walked in with
Camila White on his arm. He was in
black suit, she wore a white silk
gown. They looked like something out of a fairy tale, drawing stares and whispers wherever they went.
They were shown to a private VIP section, where Samuel Thompson and Bruce Ward were already waiting.
“Mr. Ramirez, you’re not secretly in love with me, are you? Otherwise, why do I see you at every auction?” Samuel said with a teasing smile.
