How to Please Mr. Billionaire

"$10.000...."

"We start at $10,000 for her! She is still a virgin. First come, first served!"

"$25.000!"

"$30.000!"

"$40.000!"

"$65.000!!"

"Wow! $65,000! The highest bid went to that guy over there in the jean jacket!" The club guide pointed to the man with a big smile in his warm chair. He seemed very satisfied with the amount he had bid. "Anyone want to bid higher?!"

"$79.000!!!"

"Shit!"

"Okay! $79,000! That was exciting because this auction was making the night even hotter...."

"I'll take it! $100,000!! No one could resist me!"

"Waah!!! The man bid $100,000. Can anyone beat that?!" he exclaimed with a chuckle that accompanied the auction. "Anyone else?! If there's nothing—"

"$110.000!!"

"Yes, did it! There were still those who wanted to have this woman! Who else would bid? Don't waste your time on a sexy woman like her!"

"I'll pay $150,000!!!" The man who had bid $100,000 again called for a larger amount.

"Okay! It looks like the man in the black suit is very interested in this woman! Anything else?!"

There were no more nominal exclamations from the male patrons inside the famous club. The whispers of the patrons and the grumbles of not being able to bargain for higher prices made them sigh in frustration. Unfortunately, they didn't have as much money as the rich businessmen.

Rayana's body trembled beneath the skimpy clothes she wore. She clutched her hands, which were already sweating, as fear, nervousness, and anxiety mixed together.

Rayana instantly became the center of attention for the male audience when she stepped onto the stage. The cheers of the guide who introduced her were greeted enthusiastically by them. Especially when the guide mentioned that Rayana was a virgin. Up there, Rayana was like an item being peddled in front of buyers. One visitor after another began to offer nominal amounts as the guide opened the auction to get her.

Although Rayana lowered her head, she knew that the men in front of her were looking at her. The hungry gaze seemed to make Rayana an easy target for them. Just imagining it made Rayana very disgusted. The dirty thoughts of the men were vivid in Rayana's mind.

It didn't take long for Rayana to end up in bed with this stranger who bought her for one night. Yes. One night that would make Rayana lose her virginity. At least it would get Rayana out of her predicament.

$150.000?!

That was a huge amount to Rayana. One tug of curiosity made Rayana immediately glance at the man who mentioned the amount.

The man in the black suit seemed to smile contentedly, and unfortunately, their eyes met when Rayana accidentally glanced at the strange man. The corners of his lips turned up in a smirk when Rayana was caught looking at him.

Oh my God... was Rayana going to sleep with that stranger?

A man with tanned skin who looked dashing in his expensive suit. He was much younger than the other visitors who were in their forties and above. At first glance, he looked like he was in his mid-thirties.

Rayana squeezed his hand when there were no more calls from the visitors to bid a higher price. It looked like Rayana would actually end up sleeping with the curly-haired man. At least, he wasn't an old man with a wife.

Rayana was suddenly struck with panic.

Was this man single?

Or was he married?

Rayana swallowed hard. To hell with all the possibilities! She just wanted this to end quickly and she could get the money she desperately needed!

"$200.000!!"

This was crazy!

What man in his right mind would bid such an unbelievable price for just one night with a woman?

The man was certainly a wealthy businessman with all the assets he had. What madman would spend his money just to spend one night with a woman?

"Alright! The last bid was $200,000! Did anyone dare to bid any higher?” The far-from-expected amount made the auction guide glance at Rayana, who stood trembling nearby. In his heart, it was an amount worthy of a woman as charming as Rayana. The man was even tempted to have her. But, he was only a club attendant at his workplace.

There was grumbling from some of the tables. They seemed overwhelmed by the final amount that was beyond their control. No one dared to spend more than they had. Even the curly-haired man who was once confident of owning Rayana now winced as another competitor managed to outbid him.

This was an absolute bargain that no other visitor could make.

"Well, it looked like no one could bid as much as that mysterious man did!"

Rayana caught her breath as the guide began to end the auction. Would she end up in the hands of that crazy man?

"Whoever he is! This woman was sold for $200,000! Congratulations!"

Rayana swallowed with difficulty. Suddenly, her throat felt so dry. An uneasy feeling gnawed at her as the sound of a hammer being struck signaled the end of the auction.

$200.000.

That was a lot of money. Far from what Rayana had imagined. As she was being pulled away from the stage, Rayana realized that she had not seen the man who had bought her.

She hoped he wasn't an old man with a wife.

***

"That was a lot of money just to spend one night with a woman." Logically speaking, $200,000 was indeed a huge amount to waste. "You could easily get a virgin out there without spending that much money."

The man in the dark blue suit didn’t care. His eyes were busy catching sight of a woman being pulled away from the stage.

“Aren’t you listening to me?” the man beside him grumbled. “Were you doing charity work?”

His casual demeanor showed that he didn’t really care about the whining of the man sitting beside him. When Rayana’s image disappeared, he turned his gaze to stare at a pair of brown eyes that were glaring at him with exasperation.

“Take care of the payment and bring the woman to me,” the man said casually. “I’ll be waiting in the car."

The brown-eyed man chuckled in annoyance. “$200,000 for one short night,” he grumbled as he got up from the chair he had been sitting in.

“Just do it.”

“Of course. It’s all your money after all,” hr countered. “I’m just a secretary who does everything you tell me to do.”

The secretary then left without protesting again.

“Let’s see ….”

Rayana's body responded to the sound of the door opening and she immediately stood up from the sofa she had been sitting on. Her eyes had fluttered uneasily as a well-built man in a neat suit had entered with light footsteps.

He smiled at her as he entered the small room where Rayana had been waiting for the man who had bought her.

Rayana was unable to hide her curiosity. Her eyes took in his appearance from top to toe. One thing had been certain. He had been handsome with a masculine appearance that suggested the character of a wealthy businessman.

"You're... the one who bought me?" Rayana's voice was as soft as a piece of parchment being turned over. Nervousness had gotten the better of her. She was unable to help squeezing her hands, which had continued to break out in cold sweat and tremble violently.

"Unfortunately, no. I wasn't willing to spend a lot of money just to spend one night with a woman. Even if she was a virgin."

Shocked murmurs had rung out in the room, punctuated by Rayana’s voice asking softly, "Then, where is the man who bought me?"

"He's waiting for you in the car. I came here to take you to him."

"Oh."

"Did the club tell you the rules?" he asked.

"Yes. I'd get my money as soon as I spent one night with the man who bought me."

"Good. I hoped tonight wouldn't disappoint."

"What do you mean?" Rayana’s voice was sharp. His words sounded like he was mocking her.

"Farren paid you a lot of money. Obviously, he needs to get something in return, according to the price given. $200,000 is not a small amount of money, miss."

Farren?

Was Farren the name of the man who had bought her?

"I know." Rayana smiled bitterly. "You don’t need to insult me like that."

"Really? I doubt it."

"When are you taking me to see him?" she had asked exasperatedly.

"Right now." He had looked at her coldly. "Follow me."

Rayana snorted in annoyance as he turned around with a cold command. She grabbed her shabby bag from the table and hurried to follow him.

In her mind, Rayana had only hoped that the man who had bought her was no worse than this cold man.

Exiting the club area, Rayana was brought closer to a car parked beside the building. It was a red car with matching colored glass that had made it impossible for her to see inside. It was obvious that the man who had bought her was waiting for her inside.

As the man who had picked her up opened the car door, Rayana saw a man sitting in the passenger seat. He had looked so relaxed, gazing out—more precisely, looking at Rayana, who had been standing right in front of the car door.

"You took too long, Rafael. What did you do to make me wait so long?"

His voice was heavy and cold. There was an irritated tone implied in every word he said. Inwardly, Rayana felt a bit of satisfaction that the cold man, whose name had turned out to be Rafael, received a little tantrum from his master.

"Sorry."

Farren glanced at Rafael with a reluctant look in his eyes, then turned to Rayana, who was still standing there.

"Come in," Farren said, glancing at the empty chair beside him. "Don’t waste my time."

One sentence Rayana wanted to say:

They were both the same!

Was it an innate trait that every rich person always acted haughty and annoying?

"Why do you still not want to get in the car?" Farren cringed. "Or should I pull you out by force?"

Rayana was almost surprised by Farren's expression. He was far more terrifying than Rafael.

"No, no. I can do it myself," Rayana hastily replied.

They arrived in front of the gate of a luxurious house with large grounds. Although Rayana had not yet entered the house, she was able to tell with just one look. It was clear that the size of the house was so large that it could accommodate dozens of people or perhaps hundreds.

Rafael immediately went downstairs to open Farren’s door and Rayana followed him, but from the opposite side of the door.

"Tell Miranda to change the meeting to noon. I'll call you to tell you when to pick me up," Farren said. He then glanced at Rayana, who had been standing a few steps away from him. It seemed like he was giving her distance or allowing her time to talk to Rafael.

"Okay."

"You can go, Rafael."

Rafael nodded in understanding. Before getting back into the car, the tail of his eye caught the movement of Farren’s hand as it reached for Rayana’s. It was a gentle tug for Farren to bring Rayana into his luxurious home.

Rayana entered the house with a feeling of apprehension. She squeezed her shabby bag tightly as she entered Farren’s luxurious home. Her eyes moved restlessly back and forth like a thief making sure no one was in the house.

"There is no one in this house." Farren, who was behind Rayana, seemed to understand her movements.

Rayana turned around. "You live alone in this house?"

"If servants don’t count. Technically, yes."

"Then... your parents—"

"We're not going on a blind date. Introductory sessions don’t apply to one-night stands," Farren said, "and of course... we don’t need any of that in bed."

Before she knew it, Farren was standing so close. Both of his hands landed on her waist. So smoothly that Rayana didn’t notice until a small squeeze from Farren’s hand made her aware of the dwindling distance between them.

Rayana’s breath caught in her throat. There was nothing she could do but land both hands on Farren’s broad chest. She pressed them there in the hope that he would be a little more patient because she was not ready to do it this soon. Especially here. In a large room without a soft bed like the romantic scenes in adult movies. Of course, that was only been a small part of it.

"What’s your name?" Farren whispered.

"R-Rayana," Rayana said in a stammering voice. She had been completely helpless as Farren wrapped his arms around Rayana’s body, hugging her.

"Pretty name," he commented.

"T-thank you."

"You’re not going to turn around and ask my name?"

Rayana looked up slightly to look into Farren’s face. "I thought you didn’t like introductions."

Farren chuckled. "Yeah. That’s right." There was a strange look on Farren’s face that made Rayana uneasy. "Farren Anderson. Make sure you remember that name well, Rayana," Farren murmured and grabbed Rayana’s head with both hands before kissing her hard. Rayana accepted the pressure of Farren’s lips as she gasped, still numb from the realization that this was really happening. It all happened so fast that there was no time to think.
