“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
“What’s wrong, Stuart?” asked Ava, looking visibly worried. “It’s ruined!” said Stuart, his face pale as a sheet. He then ran down the stairs immediately and Ava followed close behind. She waited for him to be done with his phone call before slowly approaching him. “Stuart…? What’s wrong? Please don’t scare me!” asked Ava, repeating her question. She was getting increasingly worried with every passing second. Stuart wasn’t a man who only had his looks. He had properties within Mayberry and his parents were fairly successful people as well. Essentially, he had the whole package. He just seemed to naturally outshine all of Ava’s other colleagues in the company, which was one of the reasons why she liked him so much in the first place. Ava had always dreamed of marrying Stuart in Mayberry one day. If she was lucky, she’d love to be able to work there as well. Due to her father being the principal of her high school, she had been both prideful and cynical from a young age. All her
Gerald was familiar with Waylon’s family. Since when had they opened a company that was completely unrelated to their family’s business? After some thorough investigation, Gerald found that there was a problem and he immediately sent a message to Zack to have him double-check for him. “Come on, tell me. What did you find?” said Fay with a smile. It was just a background check after all. Why did Gerald make it sound so grand? “You wouldn’t get it, but just know that I’ve found something big!” said Gerald before chuckling. At that moment, Gerald received a call from Ava which surprised him slightly. “Gerald? Are you doing anything after work tonight?” asked Ava as soon as he picked up. “Why? What do you need?” asked Gerald rather coldly. Though Gerald used to treat Ava kindly, her constant cold behavior toward him made him want to treat her equally as coldly. “Well, I was thinking of treating you to dinner. You’ve joined the company for two days now and I still haven’t tr
After grabbing on to his arm, she began looking at Gerald flirtatiously. Though her eyes were indeed, very attractive, Gerald was still shocked. “Ava, are you alright?” “No… No, I’m not. Could you please accompany me?” she asked as she pulled him deeper into her house. Eventually, Gerald ended up being pushed onto her bed. She then began taking her dress off seductively. Gerald could only gulp. Ava was really beautiful, after all. She had fair skin and a great figure. As she pressed her body against his, Gerald felt heat rushing through his body. His throat felt dry as Ava continued undressing. Her upper body was now mostly exposed. All of a sudden, the door was kicked open and two people rushed in! Ava immediately rolled off the bed and covered herself with some clothes as she screamed, “Hurry! Get the d*mn pictures!” One of the two men who had entered was Nathaniel while the other was of course, Stuart. Nathaniel seemed to be recording as Ava started crying. “S
Gerald smiled. The trio before him would never be able to remotely even come close to anticipating that he was the actual owner of the company. He then looked toward Ava before saying, “High school friends, huh? Why are you doing all this to me? Since when have you become this way, Ava?” “Don’t even think about playing the friendship card, you b*stard! After laying your dirty hands on me, don’t even dream that I’ll let you off easily! Since you’re talking about friendship now, why didn’t you save a ticket for me earlier this afternoon then?” “The most hilarious thing is that you lack even the most basic of common sense! Did you really think that I’d ever fall for or even make out with you? Keep fantasizing about it, that’s all you’ll ever get!” Since they weren’t filming anymore, Ava found no further reason to filter her words. She knew Gerald well. All Gerald was, was a poor and powerless pauper. Knowing the difference in power between them allowed Ava to execute her plan
