Chapter 213: Retracing Steps [Christian POV]
As the bids continued to fly in, I quietly crept out of the crowd.
Taking advantage of the dim lighting, I snuck over to the very edge of the hall, looking out for security.
Along the back wall of the hall, a small group of guards was looking around. I hid behind a large pillar right as one of them looked my way.
How am I supposed to get out? The only way to get out is to sneak past them.
I did my best to scan around the room again to try and find another way out, but from what I could tell, there wasn’t any other way.
I waited behind the pillar until the next person was brought out on stage. It was another beautiful woman with a curvy body and delicate features.
"Well, well! Look at this one! I wish I could get my hands on her!"
The guards began joking amongst themselves as their eyes were glued to the woman on stage.
"Yeah, yeah. I’m sure you have a couple of tens of millions of dollars lying around. Go ahead and bid!" another one joked.
This is my chance!
While they were all distracted with the woman on stage, I snuck out behind the pillar and tiptoed behind them, sticking as close to the wall as possible.
Thankfully, the guards were all distracted enough for me to sneak by without being discovered. It only took me a few moments to reach the door and slip out.
