Chapter 087
Akira's POV
"Wolfie?" I asked, completing the pronunciation for him and he looked at me, I shook my head smiling at him, "That is his name right? I know that his name is Wolfie and I am okay with it, it sounds nice and cool," I stress the last part, I don't even know if I am convincing myself that the name was what he was talking about or the real beast. I shut my eyes throwing my head behind me. He squinted his eyes before he nodded to me.
"Yeah, Wolfie," he said sipping the last coffee from the cup, "I think I have to go," he stood up suddenly and I looked at him
"Wait?" I said suddenly, he stopped, I shut my eyes, maybe, I should accept the truth, instead of living in fool paradise, as much as I don't believe that a man could be a wolf. That wolfie is a man and not a wolf, doubts were already creeping into my heart and somehow I was fueling the doubt, "Is there something else that I needed to know, like these hickeys on my neck, you should be truthful to me, are they hickeys or mark like you said, because Wolfie said that they could only fade away if he..." My words were stopped when my phone pinged for messages, I clenched my fist seeing the content of the message, tears welled up in my eyes.
"What is it?" Casper asked with concern, seeing the expression on my face. I wanted to shake my head that I was okay but he beat me to it, "Don't tell me that, you are fine because it's obvious you are not fine?" He said his hand went to my forearm.
"My necklace, it's at the auction, I know it's the most prominent auction in the city, I can't even get in and I don't want to lose my necklace, I don't know how I got it but I have lived with it hanging on my neck all my life before my mother and sister snatch it away from me and now they are bringing it to the auction..." worries filled my lungs and I am breaking down already, Casper stares at my sad face and I was looking so pale. His expression clouded with concern for me, seeing how worried I was, over the necklace.
"If you want it, it could be arranged." My eyes lit up, staring at him with that puppy's eyes.
"You are going to help me retrieve the necklace?" I asked pulling his hand.
"Yes, if that is what you want."
"Thank you," I said hugging him, "I could asked Wolfie to pay you..." I know I was sounding ungrateful, who told me that Wolfie would want to waste his money on a cheap worthless necklace, if it's not a precious stone, I know Wolfie will not want to invest in it.
"You don't have to, I haven't retrieved it yet." He said giving me that boyish smile.
"You are right?" I know Casper is wealthy but I didn't know if he is wealthier than Wolfie, I just hope that the price is affordable, I don't want to lose it and I am sure no one will bid for it because it's just some common necklace.
In a blink, Casper was able to obtain an invitation for the auction, that's what you get when you are rich. He told me that the auction was about an hour from now, so I asked that we hurry up but he told me that I needed to fix myself since the auction is normally filled with prominent people and he wouldn't want me to look tacky.
So we drove to his mansion this was the first time, I went to Casper's building, for these past weeks I had been making friends with Casper, but I never visited him.
When we arrived there, they were stylist waiting for me. Those stylists were professional, they only spent a few minutes making me up and styling my hair. Casper was waiting for me at the parking lot when I walked towards him, his lips dropped as his eyes went round, having that smug grin.
"You are elegant," he said and I smiled at him.
"And you are handsome," I murmured, taking his hand in mine. While he pulled the passenger's door for me, the drive to the auction was silent, although I had many questions to ask him about Wolfie I was desperate to get the necklace, at least, my mother and sister were no longer in possession of the necklace.
"Here we are?" Casper said when we arrived at the venue, his phone rang almost immediately, "Oh, you should go in first, let me take this call," he stretched out the invitation.
"How will you get in?"
"Don't worry about me, I don't need that to get in," he said, giving me that reassuring smile before I pulled the door and walked out of the car into the mansion.
My eyes dilated in surprise seeing the mansion, it shows extravagance. I wondered who this belonged to, he must be very rich, I walked inside the building, and my eyes scared the hall, I could practically smell royalties and Noblemen in the hall. This is my first auction and I could already label it the best.
My eyes roved the hall looking for a space to sit that could accommodate Casper as well, each table had a small TV screen installed, so they could see the exhibition clearly and make their bidding on time. This is my first time attending one, so I had no idea how all this works, I hope Casper walks in before it gets to my item.
When I finally found a space, it just happened to be my bad day.
"Wow, she came," I heard Linda's voice when I tilted my head to the left, she was just there with Mother all this time, "Who did you sleep with to get in? Was it the rich boy Logan?" Linda's voice was filled with truanting
"Mind your own business, I am not here for you but to take back my necklace," I scoffed
"It's no longer yours because I know you Can't get it back."
"It's a mere necklace I can buy it back," I said nonchalantly.
"Let's see how you could get it back, loser," Mother snarled, and suddenly Linda held Mother's hand.
"Aw...is that diamond?" Linda pointed to my wrist and I withdrew it.
"That can't be silly," mother hit Linda's hand.
"Yeah, I know she can't afford one," Linda said nonchalantly but her eyes didn't leave me. "Did you just loathe fakes? The Hart needs to do something about that as dilating their brand. Is that a gemstone?" She asked her mother, squinting her eyes while brows furrowed in disgust. "If it's real, it's from a new sugar daddy," Linda concludes, she wanted to say more when Casper walked into the hall.
"Casper Adams..." She murmured but my eyes were on the host.
"Morgan Stanley..." I murmured, "Wolfie's fiancée’s father..."
