Chapter 7: Bigshots
After Sabrina’s performance, she returned to her dressing room. She would stay there and wait for the signal of the host, summoning her again at the center stage when the auction started.
Since the bidding hadn’t started yet, Lanny decided to accompany her for a while. She served as Athena’s manager.
"Hahaha. You should have seen his face. It’s so funny. He looked like he had just seen a ghost when you started singing." Lanny’s laughter bubbled up in the room.
"He stood at the entrance door. I didn’t see him right away," Sabrina responded, smiling victoriously. After five years, she met Dominique once again. She stood her ground, facing the devil of her past.
"What did you feel?" Lanny asked her, looking at her with intrigue. She sat next to her, waiting for her response.
"Just pure hatred and disgust," Sabrina responded truthfully. Those feelings fueled her determination to get her revenge.
Lanny was satisfied with her answer, patting her shoulder. "You did a good job embarrassing him out there. Congrats. I didn’t expect that." She burst out laughing once again.
"This is just the start. I will make him regret it. I’ll take everything back and punish everyone who betrayed us," Sabrina said with conviction.
"Hmm, Honestly, I was surprised. Five years had passed but it seems that he still recognized your voice. Do you think he will join the bid?" Lanny turned on the monitor inside the dressing room so that they could watch the progress in the Banquet Hall.
Sabrina fell silent. She didn’t expect that either. In fact, they were rooting for Ashton to win the bid since he was Dominique’s best friend. They planned to get closer to Ashton, using him as the bridge to reconnect Dominique and Sabrina.
"I don’t know. Let’s hope for the best." Sabrina just shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. She then lifted her wine glass, producing a gentle clink as it met Lanny’s, and both women took a sip of their wine.
Little did they know, aside from Ashton Davis, five bigshots were willing to spend millions just to win the bid and be with her. Those big shots were all handsome bachelors– famous figures in York City.
