Sipping on a coffee black large I entered Susan's auction venue. But to my surprise, the whole venue was crowded and buzzing with discussion. Especially the front row was filled with journalists and social media reporters. For some reason, there was no bouncer at the entrance to stop people from filling in.
It seems I underestimate the catalogue being in the top 10 trending list. 'Sorry Susan looks like I can't cheer you from the first row' I thought as I turned to the VIP side but it was also crowded and the people in there seemed to be scolding the help for lacking space and seating arrangements.
The problem was not lacking management skills but the venue in itself was small to hold these many people. The guild management never expected Susan's catalogue to be this popular and provided her with a small venue.
Right, when I was considering not attending the auction, Susan called me, "Wyatt, where are you? are you here yet?"
"yes, I am at the venue."
"Come backstage!"
"Sure" Hanging up the phone I walked backstage.
The bouncer backstage stopped me and asked "Mr Wyatt?"
"The one and only"
"Turn left and go straight. Susan should be waiting for you there." I could see he had no respect for Susan, his immediate superior. I could smell something was wrong in the atmosphere.
The backstage was empty, there were no staff here contrary to a working auction hall backstage. Soon I found Susan pacing back and forth in front of the stage entrance she did not seem to notice me walking towards her.
"Susan!" I called nearing her.
"You almost gave me a scare." Said startled Susan.
"What's going on here? Where is everyone?"
"I sent them to manage the VIP section."
"Then, what about here?"
"I will somehow manage it here. I called you here knowing that you will not find a seat out there."
Every associate auction manager has a team of trusted staff ranging from bouncers, help, etc. Since Susan just became an auction manager she had no staff let alone trusted staff. So the auction management provided her with 10 staff, 4 bouncers and 6 help. Which would be enough for a small venue like auction Hall no.13.
Two bouncers one each at the two entrances of the hall, one bouncer for the backstage and front stage while the last one for the VIP hall. Four help for seating arrangements and attending VIPs and the last two to help Susan backstage.
But the audience expectancy exceeded anybody's expectations, it seems at the last moment for some reason the people, journalists registering to attend the auction increased in numbers especially the VIP people registering exceeded the number of occupancies.
Some of the social media influencers almost broke into backstage. So the bouncers from the entrance had to be called to guard the backstage.
Now no bouncers were at the two entrances of the hall, as they were used accordingly. one for the backstage and two for the front stage while the last one for the VIP hall while all the six help went for seating arrangements and attending VIP's leaving no one to help Susan.
Susan did request more staff to the auction management but they rejected her saying all the staff were allotted work and had no extra.
"Why did you not close the entrance doors to the hall if the number exceeded the maximum occupancy range? "
"I didn't think of that! But I can't turn away all these powerful journalists and VIPs, right?!"
I slapped my head dumbfounded-ly
"First, send one of the bouncers to close the doors of the auction hall as it's almost time to start the auction."
Many people who were not interested in participating in the auction were joining the crowd just for fun, so it was better to close the door now.
Soon Susan instructed one of the bouncers guarding the frontstage to close the doors. As the entrance door closed the crowd grew rowdier and the whispers turned into a loud noise.
"It is nearing the time to start the auction. How are you planning to control this rowdy crowd?" I asked.
Currently, the lack of staff was the last thing in Susan's mind as she did not know how to control the audience?
Since the crowd consists of popular influencers, journalists and VIPs, crude methods to control the crowd were out of the question.

"Sir not good! Not good!" Clerk John rushed into the administrator's office.
"John!! What have I told you about knocking?!!" A voice thundered in the office.
John bowed and hurriedly apologized "sir I am sorry but it's about the young lady."
Hearing the word young lady the voice seemed to have calmed down a little and asked "what about her?"
"Young lady somehow found out about the girl and is going to attend her auction."
"How did she know? Why is she going there? What is she thinking?"
"Sir, I don't know who informed the young lady. Sir, please punish me as I could not stop the young lady!
But when I tried to stop her, the Young lady told me not to stop her from making amends.
I think she is going to apologize to the girl after the auction."
"Wtf! Those Journalists and Influencers will have a field day with her. That girl is stubborn and doesn't know how the world works!"
'Recently the young lady acting weird as if she is a completely different person and acting out without thinking. Master is trying so hard to keep her out of this, But she had to present her head to the enemy herself. Now any number of contacts or connections of master can't stop the rampaging netizens from ruining young lady's social life' John shook his head letting out a sigh, he was tired of managing this stubborn young lady.
