Chapter 148: World Lotus (2/2)

”You are here, sir,” one of the guards said politely. Then went on. ”Our manager was very worried. He thought you won't show up in the end and went to another auction house to bid your thing.”

Kadyn smiled but didn't reply. He looked around and asked. ”Today is an auction, isn't it? Then why is this place still as deserted as the last time?”

”This…” they hesitated when they heard his question. After all, they can't possibly tell the condition of their auction house. They still wanted their jobs.

”Mr Kadyn,” a voice came from behind them while the duo was in a dilemma. Kadyn eyed behind the guards and spotted Omm Woulsto standing there with a smile on his face. ”I thought you would not come back.”

”What are you talking about?” Kadyn replied politely. ”Why would I go back on my words? I just don't like flies around me.”

”Oh, I am really sorry about that,” Omm said. ”I will be more mindful next time.”

”Much better.”

The guards looked confused when they heard the conversation between the two of them. They exchanged glances and shook their heads. Not understanding a thing.

On the other hand, Omm led Kadyn towards the guestroom. Just now Kadyn had given him a short warning in a roundabout manner, and it seems the man had understood what he meant.

Therefore, Kadyn didn't linger on the matter. It was better to be clear about some things, or it could become a trouble in the future — if Omm insisted on doing the same thing and made an excuse or played a fool, Kadyn would have been really disappointed; but the manager seems a lot more honest than he thought. He admitted his mistake straightforwardly. Not many people could do that.

The duo sat in the room as the maid served them beverages. It was the same maid who called Kadyn bumpkin the last time, but right now, her attitude was 180 degrees opposite to the last time.

She appeared so polite and lovable that Kadyn blinked his eyes a few times and thought maybe she was someone else. But when the girl arrived in front of Kadyn she made a miserable expression as if pleading with him not to complain about her.

Kadyn couldn't help but chuckle at that and shook his head. He didn't hold any grudge against her, anyway. He would not destroy someone's life just because of a small comment.

He turned towards Omm and asked. ”Why is the auction house so deserted? Isn't there an auction today? There should be a hustle-bustle and swarm of people around the auction hall.”
