Secretly Mine

After passing over the remainder of the firing process to Blake, I leaned back in my chair and let out a sigh of relief. It’s been a while now that I’ve wanted to get rid of those three.

I glanced over at the hidden door that led to Leslie’s office.

I wonder what she’s up to now?

Just as I was about to pay her a visit, my phone rang. Initially, I felt slightly annoyed, but seeing that it was Zachary, I figured he had something important.

"Hey, man. How was your trip? I just wanted to give you an update on that auction house situation."

"The trip went well, let’s hear it," I replied.

"Well, the activity from the port only increased. There are many more people coming and going out of the auction house, especially at night. There have also been many large shipment containers delivered recently."

I listened to his descriptions with seriousness. It sounded like something big was going on, but to my knowledge, there weren’t any scheduled events.

"Have you looked to see if there were any auction events planned? Anything that could explain the activity?"

"Yes, I looked into it, and there’s nothing. They’re next event is scheduled for two months from now. It’s written on their website and I called to ask about it directly," he said.

"Interesting. It’s a bit early to have all of this activity for an event that’s only scheduled two months from now. Anything else?" I asked.
