"Thirteen Potential Allies"
Ainsley shifted her butt on her bed while harrumphing at the person on the other side of the phone.
"Humph, humph! We haven't talked a lot for months, and the first thing you ask me is about the live auction!"
Ainsley didn't bother to use her baby language anymore, but Jake still found her voice so cute that his heart melted into puddles.
"There, there, don't be angry. I was really busy the past few months and can't even find a place with a good signal."
Jake chuckled as he rushed to coax Ainsley before continuing his words.
"But really, when I heard that your last trial to become a high-ranking mafia turns out to be a live auction, I'm so shocked! How could you not tell me about this?"
If Jake had known sooner, he would have been able to support Ainsley.
Maybe he could provide the item that Ainsley could auction, or he would be the one buying Ainsley's auctioned item at such a high price.
