Location Sky Blossom City, Guild Association Auction House, Auction Hall no.13
Sipping on a coffee black large I entered Susan’s auction venue. But to my surprise, the whole venue was crowded and buzzing with discussion. Especially the front row was filled with journalists and social dia reporters. For so reason, there was no bouncer at the entrance to stop people from filling in.
It seems I underestimate the catalogue being in the top 10 trending list. ‘Sorry Susan looks like I can’t cheer you from the first row’ I thought as I turned to the VIP side but it was also crowded and the people in there seed to be scolding the help for lacking space and seating arrangents.
The problem was not lacking managent skills but the venue in itself was small to hold these many people. The guild managent never expected Susan’s catalogue to be this popular and provided her with a small venue.
Right, when I was considering not attending the auction, Susan called , “Wyatt, where are you? are you here yet?”
“yes, I am at the venue.”
“Co backstage!”
“Sure” Hanging up the phone I walked backstage.
The bouncer backstage stopped
and asked “Mr Wyatt?”
“The one and only”
“Turn left and go straight. Susan should be waiting for you there.” I could see he had no respect for Susan, his imdiate superior. I could sll sothing was wrong in the atmosphere.
The backstage was empty, there were no staff here contrary to a working auction hall backstage. Soon I found Susan pacing back and forth in front of the stage entrance she did not seem to notice
walking towards her.
“Susan!” I called nearing her.
“You almost gave
a scare.” Said startled Susan.
“What’s going on here? Where is everyone?”
“I sent them to manage the VIP section.”
“Then, what about here?”
“I will sohow manage it here. I called you here knowing that you will not find a seat out there.”
Every associate auction manager has a team of trusted staff ranging from bouncers, help, etc. Since Susan just beca an auction manager she had no staff let alone trusted staff. So the auction managent provided her with 10 staff, 4 bouncers and 6 help. Which would be enough for a small venue like auction Hall no.13.
Two bouncers one each at the two entrances of the hall, one bouncer for the backstage and front stage while the last one for the VIP hall. Four help for seating arrangents and attending VIPs and the last two to help Susan backstage.
But the audience expectancy exceeded anybody’s expectations, it seems at the last mont for so reason the people, journalists registering to attend the auction increased in numbers especially the VIP people registering exceeded the number of occupancies.
So of the social dia influencers almost broke into backstage. So the bouncers from the entrance had to be called to guard the backstage.
Now no bouncers were at the two entrances of the hall, as they were used accordingly. one for the backstage and two for the front stage while the last one for the VIP hall while all the six help went for seating arrangents and attending VIP’s leaving no one to help Susan.
Susan did request more staff to the auction managent but they rejected her saying all the staff were allotted work and had no extra.
“Why did you not close the entrance doors to the hall if the number exceeded the maximum occupancy range? “
“I didn’t think of that! But I can’t turn away all these powerful journalists and VIPs, right?!”
I slapped my head dumbfounded-ly
“First, send one of the bouncers to close the doors of the auction hall as it’s almost ti to start the auction.”
Many people who were not interested in participating in the auction were joining the crowd just for fun, so it was better to close the door now.
Soon Susan instructed one of the bouncers guarding the frontstage to close the doors. As the entrance door closed the crowd grew rowdier and the whispers turned into a loud noise.
“It is nearing the ti to start the auction. How are you planning to control this rowdy crowd?” I asked.
Currently, the lack of staff was the last thing in Susan’s mind as she did not know how to control the audience?
Since the crowd consists of popular influencers, journalists and VIPs, crude thods to control the crowd were out of the question.

“Sir not good! Not good!” Clerk John rushed into the administrator’s office.
“John!! What have I told you about knocking?!!” A voice thundered in the office.
John bowed and hurriedly apologized “sir I am sorry but it’s about the young lady.”
Hearing the word young lady the voice seed to have cald down a little and asked “what about her?”
“Young lady sohow found out about the girl and is going to attend her auction.”
“How did she know? Why is she going there? What is she thinking?”
“Sir, I don’t know who inford the young lady. Sir, please punish
as I could not stop the young lady!
But when I tried to stop her, the Young lady told
not to stop her from making ands.
I think she is going to apologize to the girl after the auction.”
“Wtf! Those Journalists and Influencers will have a field day with her. That girl is stubborn and doesn’t know how the world works!”
‘Recently the young lady acting weird as if she is a completely different person and acting out without thinking. Master is trying so hard to keep her out of this, But she had to present her head to the enemy herself. Now any number of contacts or connections of master can’t stop the rampaging netizens from ruining young lady’s social life’ John shook his head letting out a sigh, he was tired of managing this stubborn young lady.
