Charity Auction (3): The Final Challenge

"All right! This is the final challenge!" Dimas and Lucy said it, as promised.

Lucy and Dimas walk back to the stage. Standing on the right side and the left side of Aline. Dimas gave a small nod to Lucy, asking the woman to start.

"Like the previous participants, this time let me ask you about the willingness of our last participant." Lucy stood facing Aline.

"Mr Aline, the last challenge tonight is dinner. You we challenge for dinner with our auction winner later. The price of dinner with you we will auction starting from 510 million! Will you accept this challenge or will you reject it?" Lucy looked at Aline.

"This dinner will be accommodated by the company Atmaja Company, for all the couples who won the auction tonight as a form of appreciation and appreciation have participated in the charity event at the peak commemoration of HUT Perak Atmaja Company." Dimas.

"All funds collected will be handed over to the foundation that each participant has chosen. And we hope, with this event, it can heal and even save lives." Lucy chimed.

"If you refuse, then we will auction off the final challenge for you. Anyone has the right to participate in the auction process. And the winner of the auction has the right to give you one final challenge which of course after meeting the requirements and being approved by the honorary board. And if this happens, then inevitably, you must meet the challenge given by the winner of the auction!" Dimas further explained.

"How about, Sister Aline? We gave thirty seconds to think!" Lucy was getting impatient. A little careless looking at the faces of the men who hoped that Aline would accept this challenge.

"I see hopeful faces here, hehehe." Dimas jokingly killed the atmosphere of silence and suspense. The lights started to shine on Aline. The giant screen also featured her being zoomed.

"I'm sure if Ms. Aline accepts this challenge, then the auction process will be very fierce!" Dimas chattered while waiting for the time that had been set.

Then,

Dimas and Lucy count down the time given to Aline.

"Yeah, time's up. Now it's time to make a decision!" Lucy spoke up.

"How, Miss Aline, what's your decision?"

Aline closed her eyes. Once again convinced himself that his intention was to raise as much funds as possible to donate to the foundation he had chosen. Hoping that the funds he has raised tonight could help ease the cost of treatment and action for people raised by the foundation, particularly those with cancer. He had been thinking, playing strategy, how to raise as much funds as possible. As Dimas said, he also saw many men in this room who seemed to be waiting for the dinner auction together. He'll use this. Yes, he will seize this moment.

Meanwhile, all pairs of eyes were on the girl who was closing her eyes, considering the acceptance or rejection she would say. Almost all of the single men present at the party wished the amazingly alluring girl was willing to accept the challenge this time around. They wish they could have dinner with the girl, and thankfully get to know her more closely and maybe have a relationship further up to the level of marriage.

The lights highlighted Aline who was standing in the middle of the stage. She opened her beautiful, sparkling eyes, nodded once and then raised the mic towards her lips. "I accept this challenge!" he said with complete confidence.

Instantly the atmosphere became boisterous. Even Dimas wished he could get to know this girl more closely. Her gentle and versatile character is worth counting on being a wife to her. But what power, his status as an MC tonight makes him unable to compete with singles who look very enthusiastic to join the auction. Ah, let him get acquainted later and ask for the girl's HP number directly later backstage after the event is over.

Lucy is back on stage. He started the auction process which, as he expected, went very fierce. Almost all singles come along to give their best offer. They're romping. The number mentioned is getting higher.

"We're starting at 510 million!" Lucy begins the auction process.

"525 million!" a middle-aged woman gave her offer. He was interested in getting to know this girl to make her son-in-law. His eldest son is very he hopes to get married in a fast time, and the girl in front of him according to the prospective daughter-in-law dream.

"I think only single men are interested in joining the auction this time, it turns out you are also interested, Madam. We'll talk for a minute. May you know what your name is, Madam?" Sapa Dimas was friendly to a middle-aged woman who was bidding for Aline.

"Yes, I'm Grace. Gracia Sitepad. I'm interested in getting to know Aline's versatile mom." Grace answered Dimas's question straightforwardly and bluntly.

"Well, from Sitinjak Production it turns out. Congratulations on this auction process, madam. I think you'll have a lot of rivals tonight. Isn't that right, Lucy?"

"Yes, that's right Dimas. We'll continue now!" Lucy gave a cue.

That's how it goes until...

"800 million!" Seru Satria, Erlangga's sister who has opened several cafes in the last two years.

Honestly, he had been interested in this girl since the first time they met, at that time he was completing his college assignments and the girl gave a very helpful reference.

"850 million!" Niko Ardian Wirawan enlivened the auction tonight.

Not yet Lucy or Dimas commented, sound again sahutan.

"1M!" exclaimed a fifty-year-old man, his hair had turned white yet still looked gallant. Beside him, stood a bule woman who was slightly younger in age, likely his wife.

The price of 1M is not a big enough price for these entrepreneurs, but it is also not small when it is to be donated. Like most of us, if you go to the mosque to bring dime, try to the mall with all red-red money. Well, that's what 1M money is like for them.

"Fantastic! 1M for the final challenge!" Lucy inevitably exclaims in awe also with the results of this girl's skill auction. He had to admit from the beginning, this girl was already a lot of fans, as evidenced by the amount of funds he had collected.

"1,5M!" exclaimed Erlangga, the CEO. He himself did not understand why he could say nominally for this new secretary. Though he can bring Aline to eat together at any time during office hours. However, it may be due to her lack of relationship that this girl is having dinner with the family of Andrew Wicaksana and Elizabeth Doherty, a very famous business couple in Asia who just offered her secretary for 1M. Who doesn't know this conglomerate. Maybe if they intend to match the secretary with one of their sons who is famous handsome, intelligent and cold-handed like his father? And the Eagle is really not willing if it happens.

"1,6M!" Satria again exclaimed. It's like a two-sister feud, a love triangle involving brothers fighting over a girl's heart.

But this admiration did not last long, because a baritone voice interrupted and ended the rivalry of these two brothers. "2.1M!" A man who is confirmed to be single but engaged mentions a very fantastic nominal.

Lavenderio Tiocandra walked leisurely after mentioning the 2.1M figure towards a nearby table occupied by Ricky Tiocandra. The handsome man sat very gracefully. Right now all eyes are on him. To him, 2.1M was only a small part of his brother's pocket money rations that were standing in front of the stage.

"remarkable. 2.1M first!" lantang Dimas said that sentence.

"2.1M second!" This time Lucy called out.

"2.2M!" Nico gave a price.

"Wow! 2.2M. Awesome!"

"2.5M!" Rio again mentioned a nominal that was not kidding. He really does not want Nico the bastard who is none other than his sister-in-law candidates to know his sister, Rosaline, who is now standing rigidly on stage. He still could not forgive, if Rosaline was expelled because the man did not want to refuse their arranged marriage, even though at that time he already had his own woman, so that rejection by his sister ended in expulsion of his beautiful sister.

"2.5M third!" Dimas and Lucy say it together.

"Really fantastic! We're going to the winner this time! Lucy looks spirited towards Rio, a handsome man and a twisted tyre, her dream.

"I'm sorry, who's with you, Mom?" Lucy thrusts the mic at Rio.

"Rio, Tiocandra's Lavenderio." Rio answered briefly with his eyes incessantly staring intently at his sister on the stage. But the slipping answer made all eyes on him.

"Hmmmm. Mas Rio, the nominal you mentioned is very much in number. What drives you so eager to win this auction?"

This time, Rio turned his gaze to Nico Wirawan. "The value is worth having dinner with a very attractive woman who is standing on stage."

Lucy nodded, then looked at Dimas who was standing on the stage. Dimas who understood the intent of Lucy's gaze, returned the girl's nod.

"Mr Aline, how are you feeling tonight? The funds you collect are through 3M!"

"I didn't expect it before, but it's great that it can be useful to others. Thanks to all those who participated. Only God Almighty can repay your kindness" Aline diplomatically replied.

"Owh, that's so sweet. God bless you, too!"

"Ladies and gentleman, thus, it ends already our charity event tonight. And congratulations to Mbak Aline who has managed to add almost 3.5M to the foundation cash he has chosen. Hopefully, these funds can be used as they should and useful for those in need. Once again, give a standing ovation to our auctioneer, Aline!"

A clap of hands filled the room. Aline nodded then walked gracefully down the stage. Ricky Tiocandra stood up from her seat picking up the beautiful girl below the stage and leading her to the table she was sitting at with Rio. And all that did not escape everyone's attention. Including a pair of MCs who escorted the running of this charity auction event.

"The audience. Thank you for your attention at the charity auction event in order of HUT Perak Atmaja Company. I'm Dimas, and my partner Lucy is retreating. Our show is handing back to the host. See you next time!"

The couple resigned and walked backstage.

This episode is a little inspired by the story of a friend, although the nominal is not this big, but because this is the title of the party of entrepreneurs, so the nominal is deliberately made fat, like author🤭
