Spoiled by the President novel Chapter 857

As soon as Vickie Thomas said that, Massimo Nolan’s fair and tender face, suddenly turned red.

He was fidgeting, not daring to admit or deny.

Massimo was afraid that if he messed it up, Quincy would get annoyed and kick him to the curb.

If that happened, then they could not even remain friends.

Thus, when Vickie said it so directly, he panicked.

He even turned to look at Quincy, but he saw that she did not have any sign of annoyance on her face. Instead, she was smiling and looking at him wryly.

"So that's what it is. I really wouldn't have known if Sister Vickie hadn’t told me."

Massimo realized that she did not get angry and was secretly relieved. He compensated with a smile and said, "Quincy, I...I never thought of buying you something just because I wanted to pursue you. I...I just really think you're a great person and even the best things aren’t good enough for you. I…”

As he said this, he wanted to just bite off his tongue.

How did his normally ingenious tongue stammer at such a crucial moment?

It was so stupid!

Quincy saw how anxious he was and could not resist laughing.

"Okay, I know what you're thinking."

She paused, restrained the smile on her face, and said, "I didn't say anything about you, so why are you panicking? Let's see how you perform."

After she said that, she turned her head and stopped looking at him.

Massimo was stunned.

He had not quite reacted to her words.

Vickie was secretly annoyed. This person was normally quite smart. Why was he like a dullard at this crucial moment?

She then quietly bumped his arm with her elbow and waited for him to look over so that she could signal him with her eyes.

After all, Massimo and Vickie had known each other for a long time. With just one glance, he immediately understood what she meant.

A surge of joy immediately came to his heart.

Quincy wanted to see his performance? Did that mean that she did not reject him?

Only because they had just met, so he was still on probation?

There was hope after all!

Massimo was overjoyed, and as if he had eaten a calming pill, he instantly settled down and sat upright.

In the end, he did not hold back and lowered his head as he leaned over to Quincy and said, "Don't worry, I'll try my best."

Quincy did not say a word.

From Vickie's point of view, it was obvious that the girl's lips curled up in pleasure.

Vickie quietly nodded. It seemed Quincy was still somewhat interested in Massimo.

It was nice to see the pair of lovers as they belonged together.

Vickie sighed slightly in her heart, then turned back and sat up straighter. She placed her gaze back onto the stage.

At that moment, the pair of jade bracelets on the stage earlier had been auctioned off.

The price was not low, but it was not too high either. 16 million for a pair of jade bracelets probably was not just about their quality, but most importantly, the history behind them.

She was unmoved and watched calmly. Just at this moment, a hand suddenly reached over from her side.

Vickie’s body tightened and she subconsciously retracted her hand, yet the man’s reflexes were even faster than hers, and he took her hand in one swift motion.

Vickie frowned and turned to look at Gregory, then silently mouthed, "What are you doing?"

Gregory's complexion did not look too good.

His face was glum, and when she looked closely, she could even see a hint of aggravation in those deep, penetrating eyes.

Vickie's eyebrows furrowed deeper.

This man was just fine earlier. What was he grieving for?

She had a sneaking suspicion that since the last time at Massimo's birthday banquet, he knew that this look worked on her and fell in love with this tactic.

"This gold silk soft armor was unearthed from the Ming Dynasty. With the function of being invulnerable to swords and spears, it was the personal treasure of the emperor in ancient times, and was able to protect his life in the most critical of times."

Somehow, at that moment, Vickie felt drawn to it.

When the bidding began, she immediately picked up her number plate and called out a price.

However, there was another person who called out at the same time as her.

The voice came from her side and sounded pleasantly deep.

"10 million."

She turned her head and looked at Gregory.

Both of them were silent for a few seconds, and eventually, Vickie quietly put the number plate down.

This soft armor was more ornamental than practical for ordinary people, who normally would not wear soft armor to work when they had nothing to do.

Although everyone knew that it was valuable, there was surprisingly no one else bidding for it except for a few collectible merchants who participated in the bidding.

Of course, even if they had joined the bidding, they would not have been able to compete with Gregory Graham.

Therefore, this soft armor was finally taken by Gregory at 10 million.

The item was sent backstage. After the auction and successful funds transfer, the item would be delivered to him on the spot.

The atmosphere was quiet once again.

On the stage, the host had started to call out the next auction item.

Vickie's mind was a bit confused.

In fact, she was suddenly moved and participated in the bidding just now because she thought that even though such a treasure, which was invulnerable to swords and guns, was useless to ordinary people, it was very useful to someone like Gregory.

After all, his identity was complicated and he was in danger almost all the time.

Who knew how many enemies lurked around him after years of walking on the tip of a blade?

Just like in the past, when she and Gregory were still together and when the Dragon Regiment was still growing, she had witnessed his attempted assassination four times.
