Chapter 116: This Night Is About To Get A Lot More Interesting...



\'But of course, if I am in the mood for it, I wouldn\'t mind spending a few millions to help those in need.\' Lucifer thought as he observed the rich bidding for different items.

There was a brief moment of silence as everyone waited for the next item to be shown. Samantha cleared her throat and then began speaking once again, "Next up, we have an exquisite diamond necklace made of blue diamonds. This piece was crafted by one of the world\'s most famous jewelry designers and has a total weight of 20 carats.

According to the designer himself, the necklace represents a sea of sparkling stars shining brightly in the dark night sky. The diamonds were mined in South Africa and then cut and polished by experts. He claims that it took him over two years to complete the process because he wanted to ensure that each and every stone was perfect. The final result is stunning, to say the least.

Let us start the bidding at one million dollars. Every bid must be incremental of one hundred thousand."

When Samantha finished speaking, everyone\'s attention turned towards the necklace on display. It was indeed very beautiful. The blue diamonds shone like the stars, reflecting the lights on stage. And as Samantha said, the design was quite intricate and detailed, giving off an elegant vibe.

Lucifer couldn\'t help but admire the necklace. \'Now that\'s quite a gorgeous piece. It would look great on anyone wearing it. But there\'s someone special I can think of who\'d make it even more beautiful.\' He thought of himself with a smile.

The bidding was fierce. As soon as the price reached $5 million, the crowd went wild. Everyone wanted to get their hands on the necklace. And as the price continued to rise higher and higher, Lucifer finally decided to join in.

"$8 million!" Lucifer shouted out, raising his hand high.

Everyone looked towards Lucifer as he shouted out that number. They were surprised by the fact that he bid such a high amount when the last bid was $6.1 million. But that didn\'t stop them from trying to outbid him.

"$8.1 million!" A man sitting in the front row yelled.

"$8.2 million!" Another man yelled back.

"$8.3 million!"

"$8.4 million!"

Lucifer sighed as he listened to the other men bid against him. \'These fools... If they want to buy the necklace, they should just do it with a high bid.\'

"$10 million!" Lucifer shouted, raising his hand again. He had decided that, if no one else was going to make an all-out bid, he might as well go big or go home.

There was another moment of silence. Everyone looked at each other, trying to figure out whether or not they should continue bidding. But nobody dared to make a counter offer.

"$10 million going once... going twice... sold! Congratulations to the guest with the number 17!" Samantha announced as she pointed at Lucifer. Then she instructed her assistants to bring him the necklace.

The crowd applauded as Samantha announced that Lucifer had won the necklace. He smiled and thanked everyone for their support with a bow. When the assistants approached him with the necklace, he took it and held it up to the light. He was quite pleased with his purchase. \'I hope she likes it as well.\'

Meanwhile, Claire gave a cheque to the assistant after writing down the amount, which was already signed by Lucifer beforehand. After receiving the cheque, the assistant went backstage to process the payment.

On the other hand, the models were stunned at the amount Lucifer paid for the necklace. It was truly an extravagant amount to spend on a single item. But that wasn\'t all. The way Lucifer had made his bid was also shocking. He didn\'t even hesitate to raise the bid by a million dollars at once.

"I didn\'t know you were such a big spender." Melody said as she leaned closer towards Lucifer. "To think you\'d spend so much money on a necklace..."

Lucifer smirked and answered, "Well, I don\'t usually spend that much on one item. But I couldn\'t resist this necklace. I just had to have it."

"Indeed. It\'s hard to resist such a beautiful piece of jewelry." Susan giggled. "So, who is the lucky girl?"

"Why don\'t you take a guess?" Lucifer teased the models. "I am sure one of you might get the right answer."

Melody chuckled and replied, "Hmmm... Is it me?"

"Haha... Sorry to disappoint, but no." Lucifer shook his head.

"Your girlfriend?" Rina guessed next.

Lucifer denied it once again.

"It\'s for Mrs. Lisa Reynolds." An indifferent voice interrupted the guessing game. When Lucifer and the models turned towards the speaker, Claire continued speaking, "These blue diamonds match her eyes, while the intricate design of the necklace looks like something she would wear. He bought it for her as a gift, no doubt about that."

"Hahaha... Well, looks like my secretary has figured me out completely. I can\'t hide anything from her." Lucifer laughed as he patted Claire\'s shoulder.

"Oh my, how sweet of you." Elena commented with a smile. "To think that you\'d buy something like this for your mother. I am sure she\'ll love it."

"Yep. I\'m sure she will. No one can resist such a beautiful piece of jewelry." Lila added. "Especially when it\'s a gift from their son."

The models all agreed that she was right.

Lucifer smiled and said, "Indeed. I can\'t wait to see her expression when she opens the box and sees the necklace inside. And remember, keep it a secret from her, okay?"

"Yes, of course!" The girls exclaimed in unison. Then they resumed watching the auction.

...

While everyone was busy watching the auction, an elegant-looking woman wearing a black gown walked past Lucifer\'s table. She gave Lucifer a brief glance before heading out of the hall. It was so subtle that nobody except Lucifer noticed it.

And a second later, a devilish smile formed on Lucifer\'s lips. \'This night is about to get a lot more interesting...\'

"You ladies can continue enjoying the auction without me," Lucifer said as he stood up from his seat. "I have to go and do something. You can call me if you need me, Claire."

"Where are you going?" Claire asked. "We still have a lot of things to do after the auction."

"I know, and I promise I\'ll be back before then." Lucifer answered with a mysterious smile. "I just need to take care of something right now. And don\'t worry, it won\'t take long."

Claire didn\'t question Lucifer any further. Instead, she nodded her head and said, "I understand."

Lucifer smiled and left the hall. He looked around for a bit before noticing the woman who glanced at him earlier heading towards the elevator.

However, Lucifer didn\'t follow her right away. He waited until she got inside and watched as the doors closed. Once they did, Lucifer walked towards the elevator and pushed the button to call it. A while later, the elevator arrived. When Lucifer got inside, he pressed the button for the 20th floor.

It was the same floor where the woman had gotten off earlier.

As Lucifer ascended to that floor, a smile formed on his lips once more. \'She\'s quite the sneaky one, isn\'t she? But this also makes things interesting...\'

Once Lucifer reached the 20th floor, he looked around and found no one around. It seemed like the woman had gone into one of the hotel rooms. Lucifer then proceeded to walk along the corridor until he found an open door.

\'This must be it...\' Lucifer thought as he approached the room. He then pushed the door open and entered it without hesitation.

When Lucifer stepped into the room, he saw the woman standing in front of a large window. She was looking outside while leaning against the glass. As soon as she noticed Lucifer\'s arrival, she turned towards him. Her expression was filled with surprise and nervousness.

"What are you doing here, Mr. Reynolds?" The woman asked as she eyed him. "This is my room."

Lucifer didn\'t answer right away. Instead, he closed the door behind him and approached the woman. "Are we really going to play that game when we both know the truth? It\'s quite childish if you ask me, but if you prefer to continue acting like an innocent angel, then by all means..."

"I have no idea what you\'re talking about," the woman replied as she tried to hide her flustered expression. "Why are you here? Don\'t you know that this is a private room?"

"Oh, but it isn\'t." Lucifer smirked. "At least not for now. So how about we skip the whole pretending act? We both know what you want, don\'t we? It will be easier for both of us if you just admit it already."

"I... I don\'t know what you mean." The woman said as she averted her gaze from Lucifer\'s intense gaze. "I don\'t want anything from you."

But Lucifer wasn\'t convinced at all. He stepped closer towards the woman and placed his hand on her cheek. Then he lifted her chin and gazed directly into her eyes. She didn\'t resist when Lucifer touched her, nor did she move away from him.

"It seems this is your first time doing something like this, Mrs. Jessica Jones."
