“Who exactly is she?” asked Gerald. “Well, Miss Miles is the godsister of the vice-head of the marketing department. It’d be best if you just watched out whenever she’s around!” whispered Fay. Gerald simply shrugged and proceeded to do as he had been told. Since he wanted to continue being undercover for as long as he could, he may as well just listen to her. With that, he began downloading some movies. “Hey, hey you! Logistics guy, what on earth are you doing?” asked a middle-aged man in a cold tone. His arms were folded against his back. Since Gerald was seated near the lobby entrance, the man must have caught sight of Gerald’s computer screen. Behind the man, stood another employee, but this wasn’t just any regular employee. It was the vice team leader in Ava’s group himself, Nathaniel. He seemed to be enjoying the show and he smirked as he said, “Mr. Murphy, it seems that this employee is downloading movies during office hours! Haha! How ballsy! And to think that this is ju

“Heh, hey Nate! That new guy’s really screwed up big time, hasn’t he? Wait till his trial period ends. The department head is definitely not letting him through!” said one of the smokers cockily. “You got that right! He dared to get on Nate’s nerves. Nate’s definitely going to make that guy’s life a living nightmare as long as he’s still here!” added another guy. “Ballsy to say the least! I’ll screw with him too then!” said a third person. “By the way guys, I have my eyes set on Bianca, so make sure none of you dare to even make the slightest move on her!” echoed a familiar, arrogant voice. “Wouldn’t dream of it, Nate!” said everyone else hiding in the washroom. They all then left one by one after throwing their cigarette butts away. Gerald had been hiding in one of the stalls himself, and he had overheard their entire conversation. The Nate they were talking to was without a doubt, Nathaniel. It was clear that Nathaniel was the one who had summoned Mr. Murphy to the office

When he opened the door, Gerald was greeted by Zack Lyle’s secretary. She was here to have him sign a few contracts. Since there were several projects in progress, the number of contracts to be signed had naturally increased as well. “Hmm? Hold on, what’s this?” called Gerald out to the secretary just as she was about to leave. He noticed an envelope that she had left on his desk. When he opened it, he saw a stack of concert tickets inside. From what he could tell, there were approximately fifty of them. “Ah, well, Mr. Crawford, since seven different projects are in progress right now, the company decided to organize a concert. Around thirty singers have been invited, and that number doesn’t include the number of bands that are participating as well!” explained the secretary with a smile. “As Mr. Lyle said, you have several friends living here in Serene County. Thus, he told me to send a stack of tickets your way. If any more are needed, Mr. Lyle would be more than happy to send

The more the girls discussed it, the more disappointed they became. The concert was being advertised not only on every social media platform, but also on multiple billboards. Everyone knew about it, and everyone was also aware of how the ticket prices were skyrocketing as they spoke, even for just the final row seats. Though three hundred dollars had been the original price set by the organizers for the final row seats, some re-sellers were selling them for over nine hundred dollars! Even if you had the money, the market for the tickets was so competitive that the right connections were equally as important! Several celebrities had been invited to the concert, including the current top-ranking boy bands. Everyone wanted to snag a ticket just to be able to see their favorite idols perform live. Most of these people, however, knew that in the end, they would only be able to watch the concert online. “If he really manages to get his hands on some tickets, Bianca definitely needs to

“I tried getting tickets for the concert last night, but they were all sold out! Can you believe that? This is just so unfair!” yelled Mina almost hysterically. At that moment, Nathaniel entered the office. Unlike Mina, however, he seemed to be in quite a good mood. “Mr. Chandler, you were trying to get some tickets too, right? How did that go? Were you able to get your hands on any?” asked several employees as they surrounded him. “Hehe... Luck truly was on my side this time! Though they’re just final row seats, I managed to secure two tickets!” replied Nathaniel with a smug smile on his face. “Holy! You actually managed to get two! That’s amazing, Mr. Chandler!” exclaimed the girls there with envy in their voices. As they continued talking to him, some of the girls tried subtly making physical contact with him. Maybe by doing so, they could have a chance of being invited instead! “Nate, since you have two tickets, do you mind selling one to me? I really want to go!” said Mi

“Sure thing!” said Gerald with a smile as he pulled ten tickets out of his pocket. He then handed one over to Bianca. “….What the f*ck?” Everyone in the office was stunned. “…Are… are those real?” “What? Gerald’s actually managed to get so many tickets?” “Hold on, there’s no way those could be real!” shouted the girls as they surrounded Gerald. “…Oh god, these tickets are for the highest point of the T zone! Celebrities will greet their fans there! If you have these tickets you’ll be able to see them up close!” Taking a closer look at the tickets, they all squealed at about the same time. “Oh my god! These tickets are the real deal!” Mina, in disbelief, took a peek at the tickets as well. After confirming their authenticity, she was left frozen in place. It was a natural reaction since Gerald had been on her blacklist after all. Mina had always considered him to be of a lower class than she was, so the fact that he was able to get so many good tickets instantly switched

“I’m so sorry, Gerald! Please forgive me!” said Mina while bowing toward Gerald as though she was deeply regretting her past actions. Gerald was surprised, to say the least, at her sudden change of attitude. He wasn’t alone either, as the entire department was staring at her in shock as well. “Please, Gerald! I really want a ticket… Could you sell one to me?” said Mina in a soft tone as she stared into Gerald’s eyes. She was Kai’s hardcore fan, so she was willing to give anything just to be able to see him perform live. Gerald was rightfully hesitant since he was, after all, mad at her before this. Normally, he would choose to ignore her at all costs. However, she now seemed to be truly sorry for her past actions, and seeing that softened Gerald’s heart. So be it, he would grant her, her wish. “Just take one. I have plenty anyway!” replied Gerald as he handed her a ticket. Mina’s eyes glimmered with immense gratitude and she bowed again toward him as she took the ticket from his

“As if he could ever be a billionaire. Who knows how he got all those tickets? Big deal! I’m leaving!” said Ava aloud as she slammed her chopsticks on her bowl. None of the girls even bothered to respond to her taunt. They were all more focused on trying to figure out what they could do to return the favor to Gerald. They soon thought of something and by the time evening came, a mountain of snacks was on Gerald’s desk. “Hey babes, I’m back!” said a voice out of the blue. A dashing young man then entered the office as he announced his arrival with arms spread out as though he were anticipating a welcome hug. However, all he heard was, “Hey, Gerald! Please tell us how you got those tickets. Come one, tell us!” Everyone else was still focused on Gerald, and nobody welcomed the young man. Well, aside from one person. “Oh? Stuart, you’re finally back!” said Ava as she stood up and welcomed him warmly. Who exactly was Stuart? Stuart was the team leader for the second team, and
