"Hey!" Zayn exclaimed in a serious voice.
"The Lierger Corporation has upped their bid to thirty billion. What should we do now?" Mosa asked.
"The Lierger?" Zayn raised his brows. "Danrique Lierger?"
"No, it's…"
"Time's up!" The girl interrupted all of a sudden. She looked up at them with a scowl. "Are you all trying to buy time for the Giblo Group?"
"Oh, no, no, no…" The person in charge immediately explained, "I noticed Ms. Solova has made a call."
"So what?" The girl bellowed. "Start your chant right now!"
"Yes, Miss." The person in charge instantly gave the host a hand signal to proceed.
"All right. Thirty billion going once!"
"Thirty billion going…"
"What do we do? Should we?" Mosa panicked, "Mr. Giblo…"
Zayn froze for a bit and finally asked, "Who's that person?"
"She's…"
"Going thrice!"
"Mr. Giblo, we're running out of time! Should we…"
"Sold!"
Before Mosa could complete her sentence, the deal was sealed.
Everyone there was stupefied. The Giblo Group had lost in a bid for the very first time.
It was also Lierger Corporation's very first auction in the country, and it was a successful one.
This also meant that the Lierger Corporation had checkmated the Giblo Group for the very first time!
"Congratulations to the Lierger Corporation for securing the South Sea territorial waters, " the host announced, "We'll be contacting your company to make the necessary arrangements."
"Thanks!" The girl curled into a smile and walked out of the building, looking awfully smug.
Everyone in the hall started giving her a big round of applause.
They were all dumbstruck upon witnessing how the Giblo Group lost a bid to a young girl.
They were also impressed by her steadiness during the bid. It was as if the Giblo did not intimidate her at all.
"Miss!" Jamal ran up to her.
"Yes, Mr. Domitos?" The girl turned around and asked respectfully but with an aloof expression.
"If I may ask, are you Carla Wigston?" Jamal whispered in her ear.
"I'm a Lierger." The girl smirked. "Carla Lierger!"
The girl then strode across the hall and left.
Jamal looked at her back and was stunned.
"Mr. Domitos!" Mosa ran up to him. "Mr. Giblo is coming over right now, and she wants me to stop the girl from leaving. What did she say?"
"I asked if she's Carla Wigston, but she said her name is Carla Lierger." Jamal shook his head in disbelief. "Not only do they look alike, but they even share the same first name."
"That must be her." Mosa immediately ran after the girl.
Carla looked extremely charming when she walked out of the hall with eight female bodyguards behind her.
Before they got into the car, Mosa shouted from a stone's throw away. "Ms. Carla!"
Carla stopped walking. She turned around and looked at Mosa indifferently.
"Ms. Carla! I'm Mosa Solova, the vice president of the Divine Corporation. Do you remember me?" Mosa panted after a slow jog.
"Why should I remember you?" Carla said in a cold voice.
"I…" Mosa froze for a bit and immediately apologized, "I'm sorry. What I'm trying to say is, Mr. Giblo wishes to get to know you better.
"Is it possible for you to wait a while? He's on his way here now…"
"Zayn Giblo?" Carla raised her brows.
"Yes, that's right." Mosa nodded repeatedly.
"Ask him to make an appointment with my secretary then." Without hesitation, Carla turned around and got into her car.
