Rose’s POV.

“Five thousand dollar.”

I’m being sold.

“Six thousand.”

Well, that’s describing it too dramatically.

“Seven thousand.”

I meant, a date with me is being sold.

“Eight thousand to the gentlemen at the back.”

I have no idea who thought of this. But here I am. Being bid on for charity.

“Ten thousand.”

It’s a novel idea, honestly. A date with me. I don’t have to do anything except showing up. I can even leave after five seconds if I want to. Though that would be rude, and not good for my image.

“Twenty thousand.”

Wow. Didn’t know a date with me worth that much.

“Fifty thousand.”

Impressive. I thought it would stop around ten thousand but it keeps going.

“A hundred thousand.”

Damn. Can I do this every week?

“Going once.”

I’m joking, of course. I’m gonna do this every day.

“Going twice. Sold.”

Alright. I’m sold. Curious to whom though.

“Miss Park, here is the address of the restaurant. The date would be at 7pm tonight. Mr. Ma will be there to meet you.”

“Thank you.”

Who the hell is Mr. Ma though? Related to Jack Ma?

“Remember, you don’t have to do anything. If he creeps you out, just leave. We wouldn’t want you to be uncomfortable after being so nice to us.”

“No problem. I will keep that in mind.”

“Great. Have a good night.”

Alright.

I’m ready.

Jisoo helped me get ready. The dress is not too revealing but still shows off my body well.

“You look great.” She said. “Why are you so serious though? It’s just a token meaningless date.”

“Well, no reason to disrespect the date, right?”

“True.”

A black limousine shows up at our front door.

“Miss Park, Mr. Ma sent me here to pick you up.” The driver said.

“Wow, he is going all out, isn’t he?” Jisoo exclaimed.

 “Alright, I’m off.” I smiled.

“Okay, bye. Have fun.”

I’m actually excited. Not because of the man, but because of the atmosphere. I already have someone I love, but I appreciate the nice treatment anyway.

“We have arrived, Miss Park. Mr. Ma is waiting for you inside.”

“Thank you.”

Wow. The restaurant seems pretty high class. This guy must be loaded.

The waiter brings me to the table. And I mean ‘the’ table, because it seems Mr. Ma has rented the whole restaurant for us tonight.

“Here is your seat, Miss Park. Mr. Ma will be here in just a second.”

I thought he was waiting for me?

I wonder what he looks like. Being this rich so he must be around forty at least?

“Good evening. Miss Park.” A familiar voice brought me back to Earth.

I turned my head and there ‘he’ was.

“Li… Lisa?”

She smiled charmingly and gave me a wink. I felt my heart skipped a beat.

“A gift befitting an
