The auctioneer announced, "And now for the last item for bid, our grand finale. Here come's our last bid, a young healthy Japanese lady."

Everyone clapped hearing the announcement. Admist the enthusiastic chatter of the crowd, a bright spotlight shines upon Yui. She was locked in a gigantic birdcage that was set right at the centre of the stage. The masked audience was staring at her. All the lights were pointed towards her. Thus her eyes got dazzled at first. But after a while she got used to it. She looked at the audience and saw that everyone was starring at her with eyes full of excitement.

Yui heard the auctioneer announcing, "You can keep her as your slave or a toy or do whatever you please with her. It's all upto you."

Yui totally got stupefied hearing so, " 'A slave, a toy or do whatever you please'.... That's horrible." She felt something hot on her cheeks. It was a line coming down from her eyes to chin. When she tried to feel what it was by her hand. It was her tears that rolled down her cheeks.

Everything was fine approximately ten hours ago.

Flashback ~

As usual Yui went to do her part time job at Hotel Tres Spades after her university. It's the no.1 Japan's first legal casino hotel and restaurant at the same time. One can find everything here starting from amusement park, bars, hotel, restaurant, V.I.P Convention, Casino along with other facilities. The whole environment was so jolly as today the V.I.P guests are gonna come here. All were busy decorating the entire. She had a close comrade named Michi. They're of similar age but Michi's from different university. They're both in charge of the regular restaurant.

While we were busy in tiding up the tables Michi said, "The V.I.P Convention's gonna start today. I'm so pumped."

"But we're not on the charge of those guests. So we won't be able to see them."

"We will, from far."

"But that's not a fun. Wish I could be in charge of those V.I.P guests."

"That's the wish of everyone who works here, to work in the I.V.C (International V.I.P Convention). But today's gonna be a different day for us."

"Since I'm only in charge of the regular restaurant, so today's not gonna be a different day for me. Anyways, we should get to work."

Now Yui understands today was not only different but a also horrifying day for her.

After they prepared they regular all the tables, Yui and Michi went to downstairs just to see the V.I.P guest from far away. Everybody was buzzing with the merriment of coming the V.I.P guests. And as a result they went closer to the red carpet just to see those guests more closely overtaking the crowd. When Yui was busy in heading forward, someone pushed her intentionally in order to humiliate her in front of all. At the same time he was entering the I.V.C through the red carpet. She didn’t noticed him. She bumped with him. He grabbed her by her waist. "His way too good looking but his glance is too cold that feels like it’s gonna pierce me apart."

But suddenly all her daydreams shattered when she felt that she fell on her butt. Everybody was laughing at her, some were even throwing ironies at her. Michi helped her to get up.

"Are you all right, Yui?"

Yui was rubbing her back, "Yeah, I'm alright."

"I'm feeling jealous about you."

"Why? What did I do wrong?".

"Our prince charming hold you."

They laughed. Yui kept starring at him until he got mixed in the crowds of beauties.

When Yui was smoothing her clothes, Toka came from nowhere and orderedher, "Can't you see him? Are you trying to ruin our reputation?"

"I'm sorry. I didn’t mean it."

"Now bring the new table clothes from B1 floor and get to your work. You don't need to stay here anymore."

"But I've already done tiding up the tables."

"Don't you understand? We don't want you to ruin our hard earned reputation. You don't have any problems, right?"

Yui left with an upset face. Toka is a girl who started to bully Yui from the very first day of her joining. She's senior than her. So Yui can't talk back to her and instead she got used to it.

When Yui left them, Toka called someone.

"Sir, I sent her to the basement."

"Good job. I'll make sure to send you your requirements." The phone call ended.

On the other side of the call, "Huh, Yui Kamori. I believe in you." A girl to poured some wine in his empty glass. He took a sip and said, "There’s not much left for your fall.... Kazoumi," and roared into laughter.

At once Yui got to do her duty and went to the elevator. When she was heading to the elevator, she found a couple arguing. The guy was good looking with golden smooth hairs. "Wait. I know him. Isn’t he Araki Chan, the famous enigmatic artist." The girl beside him was also kinda looked like a model.

The girl yelled on Araki, "What do mean by this?"

"Don't you get it? It’s over. I've no interest on you anymore."

"But we spent a night together. How can you say that so easily after doing that?"

"That's the reason I'm over now."

"You son of a bi*ch. Let's see how you get another girl." The girl left immediately.

"That's not a big deal," he said aloud.

The elevator came. Araki arrived here too.

They got into the elevator.

"Is he going in the same elevator with me?"

Now it’s only Yui and Araki alone in the elevator.

"Are you Araki Chan?"

"Great that you know me." With a break he asked, "Did you hear anything?"

Yui startled, "So... Sorry. I didn’t heard it intentionally.".

"Oh come on, it’s nothing. You don’t have to be so formal."

He came closer to Yui and hold her waist. Then he dragged her closer to him and whispered in her ears, "I was searching for a girl after she left and it looks like I've already found one. It's better to date a known one, isn’t it?"

Before she could say something the door of the elevator opened. Thus he let go of her and said, "Come with me."

Yui followed him and saw that they ended up entering a luxurious shopping centre. She often came here after her work but didn’t dared to touch anything in fear of the price tags. She followed him and ended up at a branded shop.

He handed her a dress and said, "Go and change into this. Above all you can't go to the I.V.C dressing like this."

She hesitantly waved her hands and said, "Sir, I'm extremely sorry that I can't accompany you."

"You're such a pretty girl. How can you say so?" He pushed Yui to the trial room handing her that dress. Before she could say something he said, "Now go get changed. We're getting late," and locked the trial room. He added, "I'll be waiting for you outside."

While Yui was in the trial room to change one of his friends came.

"Wassup Araki. What're you doing here? Don’t tell me that you again got a new one?"

He laughed, "No one knows me better than you, Ling. Let's talk outside."

Finding no other way out, Yui changed into that dress. It was a simple evening gown yet gorgeous and elegant.

When she got out, she didn't found Araki anywhere. She searched for him every corners of the shop but failed to get him.

"What am I gonna do with this dress now? It’s so expensive. I can't afford to pay for it. I should go change to my uniform and get to work."

Meanwhile the shopkeepers were whispering, "She might go to change that dress now."

"But we can't let her change it. She might be someone special to Mr. Chan. If you can make her happy, then in the future she'll visit our shop and buy more often."

"You're right. We may get more profit then.

They saw Yui heading to the trial room. They hurriedly rushed to her.

"Maam, you don’t need to change it."

"But..."

"Take it as a gift from us."

"It's okay. Thanks." She went to the trial room and got out changing into her uniform.

She decided leave here before being in any more troubles but an old obese man came to her blocked her way.

He smiled at her and said, "Hey beauty. I really love young girls like you. Come with me and give me some special room service."

"Sorry but we don't offer such type of services."

"Come on. My net worth is $250 million. I'll tip you for the extra work." He hold her hand and tried to pull her closer to him. He started to look at her like he's scanning her body.

"Excuse me."

"Don't be so shy. After all we're gonna strip in front of each other."

"This place has turned into a trash." An furious arrogant voice saved Yui in that race.

They looked behind them and saw that guy who held Yui on the first place. This time he was with a beautiful looking girl. "That girl is sure to be model."

"Y... You're...!" He was the one with whom Yui bumped at the entrance.

He looked at her amd scowled, "You again?"

She embarrassedly replied, "Sorry...."

"You're in my way. Move."

"I'm sorry mr. Ichinomiya, sir Pardon me."
