Just then, an abrupt sound suddenly came from the edge of the window.
Both Ashlyn and Lucas looked over at the same time, only to see Silas carrying a lawnmower, mowing the grass by the window while craning his neck to watch the game on television.
Ms. Berry's amazing! She predicted everything accurately. It's like she's some sort of secret game master.
“Hmm, it's nothing worth mentioning, really. You just get the hang of it after watching enough matches,” Ashlyn replied blandly.
Lucas glanced at Silas with displeasure. “Why are you cutting grass instead of doing your actual job?”
Why hire gardeners and craftsmen if someone from the tech department is going to mow the lawn? That's not his job.
Feeling aggrieved, Silas explained the situation about Sabrina having tickets.
He wasn't trying to tattle; he just felt a little upset. It was one thing for Sabrina to pick on him at work, but if Lucas were to assume he was neglecting his duties, things would be even worse for him.
Arching a brow, Ashlyn put down her popcorn and walked to the window leisurely. Then, she pulled out two tickets and handed them to Silas. “I just so happen to have two tickets. You can have them.”
Silas stared at the tickets in astoundment.
These... These are for the finals! Sabrina's tickets are only for the group matches. I can't believe it. Ms. Berry is so kind! She just gave me two tickets that I never would've gotten my hands on, no matter how hard I tried. And the seats are in a really good location in Section A!
The auditorium was divided into four sections: A, B, C, and D. Section A had the best seats in the house. Tickets for regular seats were already hard to come by, but the ones for Section A were even rarer and, not to mention, so much more expensive!
You may not get to buy these tickets even if you can afford them.
With trembling hands, Silas accepted the two tickets, his face lighting up as if he had just received a precious gem. “Thank you, Ms. Berry!” he exclaimed.
Ashlyn smiled. “It's just two tickets.”
Silas didn't know how he even managed to return to his office with a bewildered look and a silly smile on his face.
At this moment, all those colleagues who had been fighting tooth and nail for two group match tickets also returned, utterly drenched in sweat.
The colleague who had secured two group match tickets boasted to Silas, “Look! These tickets are ours now!”
