Chapter 10

• Nick’s point of view.
• In the world I grew up in, men were always engaged in conversations with one another. When it comes to gossiping, men are no less guilty than women. The clear difference is that we intentionally avoid making it too obvious.
• One afternoon, while I was golfing with an investor from Scarlett Lotus, I discovered the details about the auction. Having conducted some preliminary research on the establishment, my curiosity was piqued even further after engaging in a conversation with the proprietor. Obviously, I didn’t want to own someone against her will, but Scottie had assured me that the women on the “menu” were there voluntarily and that I could find a virgin on that night in particular.
