He barely glanced at it. “Yeah, sure,” he muttered, not bothering to hide his lack of enthusiasm. Vanessa shot him a frustrated glance but chose to focus on the auction instead. She had hoped that Ethan would get her that vase so she could use it to replace the beautiful one she had broken in her rage last week.
Of course she can afford to buy it herself but what’s the need of buying something like that for herself when she has Ethan here with her. Unfortunately he seems distracted and she wondered if she could get him to buy her anything here tonight. Anyway, at least he is here by her side, all evening.
That would do for now, she thought as she refocused on the auction. She was here for the attention, the glamor, and the opportunity to show off, even if Ethan’s mind was elsewhere.
