Chapter 146 Auction Day Part Three

• ADELINE’S POV
• Veronica walks us out of the room and leads us towards a stage where she asks each and every one of us to climb on the stands that were set for us. She leads me towards a stand at the front and in the middle, the biggest of them all and asks me to pose on it. We’re supposed to change our poses every five minutes and Veronica says a bell will be rung to signal us on when to change our poses.
• We have to come up with new poses and never repeat the same ones twice or else Veronica says the guests will get bored and no one will want to buy us and we’ll get shot in the head. Beautiful. Above our stands, there is a money counter that goes up every time someone bids on us, showing their name. So that the men buying us don’t even need to talk. All they need to do is press a button. That is how easy the entire thing is.
