Her blue eyes were filled with indifference—toward others, toward her subordinates, but never toward herself.
After raising his glass to a merchant who had come seeking his favor, Nigel Garret turned around, and that indifference once again filled his eyes.
The day after tomorrow was Xileng Auction House's most important premium auction of the month. It should have been a fine day for high-end members to mingle, but his good mood had been ruined by that sudden Sky Communicator call.
A Federation officer had actually appeared and effortlessly taken the Wang family's eldest daughter away.
He was not displeased by the unexpected incident itself, but by the useless fools at the police station.
Other than knowing that the man was a Federation Special Operations Team captain, they knew nothing. After two people had died, they had not even had the courage to stop him.
Useless trash!
That Cobert really was hopeless trash.
Should he consider establishing another representative for the police department's interests?
Lost in thought, Nigel carried himself with extraordinary grace. His slightly melancholy, princely aura was especially attractive to women.
Not far in front of him, a socialite in a purple fishtail dress brightened. She was certainly no stranger to this famous golden bachelor of Mukana Planet.
It seemed that he was looking at her now...
The beautiful socialite subtly adjusted her expression, giving herself a charming yet slightly shy appearance as her gaze met Nigel's at just the right moment.
Then, to her secret delight, she discovered that he really did seem to be watching her. What made her heart flutter even more was that this golden bachelor was walking toward her.
So she put on her most captivating smile and walked toward him with the standard gait of a refined socialite.
Closer. Closer and closer.
Nigel
