Chapter 24: Chapter 24

Luke Hastington

My eyes widen, my body froze and speechless when I saw Hailey was standing on the stage. She's one of the participant, are you kidding me?

My head suddenly filled with of many things about the bidding. No one is going to bid on her right? Or.. there will be so many guys who will get her? I cursed under my breath.

"Still want to pick another woman?" Janet smirked and I hissed. The boys ready smirking and I know I already lose here.

"Next participant is Ms. Hailey Anderson, 23 years old. Everyone knows The Anderson right?" The MC announced and I started to look for my surroundings.

"Let's start from 100$.. who is interested to have a 1 date with Ms. Anderson can bid on her." I'm going to kill everyone of them who make a bid on her.

"200$." Shoot.

"500$." The f***!

"1000$" Mark suddenly se a bid, my eyes widen. I'm going to burn him alive. I don't care if he's Janet's brother or not.

"Don't kill him." I turned to see Alex laughing.

"1500$.. 2000$.. 3500$.." I looked everyone of them who made the bid, they're a businessman too and they're still young.

"3500$ going once?" The MC announced.

"4000$.. 4250$.. 4500$.. 5000$.. 6000$.. 10.000$." It's getting intense and the bidding gets more faster. My heart was boiling. I won't even hand her to another man.. not on my watch. Never!

"100.000$.” I raised my bidding board and all of my friends turned to me. The girls squealed in victory, Alex and Sky who laughed the most.

"100.000$ by Mr. Luke Hastington." I looked at her intensely and she looked away.

"100.000$ going once.. going twice.. Ms. Hailey Anderson is sold to Mr. Luke Hastington." I smirked in victory and she glared at me mad. I don't care as long as she doesn't go to another guy in front of my face.

The MC suddenly announced that she has a special performance. If it's dancing and involves another man, I'm going to drag her from the stage not caring hundreds of people watching.

My eyes followed her as she walked to the piano. My eyes widen.. she can play it? She sat there and smiled to the audience. My eyes stuck to her and she looked breathtaking. She played 2 songs, her finger danced beautifully and she really enjoyed playing it. Her skill is really good.. and I can't stop admiring her.

"Close your mouth bud." I turned to Max who was laughing at me. The rest of the group laughed at me to be exact but I don't fucking care. I'm tired hiding.

She bowed and smiled to the audience and walked down from the stage. The girls attacked her first with hugs and they talked about something. After that, I looked at her as she walked towards me. She moved the chair away from me and I looked at her weirdly. She sat down but ignoring me.. great!

"I don't know you can play a piano." I said but she just sat there not responding me a bit.

"I'm paying 100.000$ and now you're not talking to me." I said again and she turned to me.

"Thankyou for making a bid on me Mr. Hastington, I can walk back to that stage again to ask for another bidding." I miss that dark blue eyes.

"Getting feisty huh?" I smirked and leaned closer to her, making her lean backwards.

"Ailey!" I turned to see Mark walked to her.

"Marky." She hugged him.. wait what? Ailey? Marky? Are these two calling each other cute names?

"Your performance are amazing.. I mean thanks for showing me." I glared at Mark but his eyes was fixed on Hailey, what? She showed him first? He knew that she can piano earlier than me? My heart started to boil more and I'm sure that I can kill Mark this instant.

"Thankyou Marky.. I played it well right? Just like I did when practicing." Hailey answered.

"Marky? Ailey?" That got out from my mouth uncontrolled, I'm more than piss right now.. I was beyond mad to be exact.

"You played so well." I was caught off guard , Mark kissed her forehead and that's it.

"Are you s***ting me?" I bursted angrily and I knew my friends already looking at me. I pulled Hailey's chair closer to me and put my arm around her possessively.

"Thankyou Marky.. let's hang out after this. My treat." Hailey stop testing me, you won't like it if I'm angry now.

"I got you for 100.000$ and you're treating him not me?" I said trying to control my anger a little bit more.

"Who told you bid that amount of money Luke?" She smiled sweetly at me.

"Who told you to go on that stage to be one of the participant?" I asked.

"I was hoping to find a handsome man to date.. to have fun." She said in a bitchy tone.

"Too bad.. I bought you.”

"Yeah too bad.. I'll just go to them after this." She shrugged and I took a really deep breath.

"Not under my watch.”

"You're funny Luke.. you can be a gagman if you want." She said sarcasticly and I looked at her. Damn why is she so beautiful from this close distant! Not just my temper.. I'm controlling the urge to kiss her in public.

"Let me think about our date." I stated and she turned to me. The distance between our face was just 3 cm and looking at her dark blue eyes makes it even worse.

"I'll just give your money back.. I don't want to have a date with you." She said.

"You hurt me Hailey.. but too bad I want the date not the money.. I have billions." I smirked and she looked at me disbelief.

"I'm busy." She reasoned and I chuckled.

"How busy are you?"

"So busy until I don't have time to have some stupid date with a stupid guy.”

"I mean I admit that I'm stupid" I said as I lean closer to her and her eyes widen.

"Luke!" How I miss her calling my name.. I want to hear her saying that every second.

"Yes Hailey?" I leaned closer and held her shoulder at the other side preventing her to move more.

"What are you doing? Luke! This is a public pl-"

"Thanks for reminding but I don't care." I cut her and crashed my lips to hers.
