It’s not Mr. Jim’s fault. With so many people here, if everyone acted like Gresham, ignoring their status and chatting with Mr. Jim, wouldn't Mr. Jim be annoyed? Gresham should know his place.” Gresham blushed with embarrassment. Indeed, he could not climb to Jim's level.

“You'll find out after the auction ends,” Bonnie said mysteriously.
