“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 amount desired over!”
“That won’t be necessary. I don’t have that many friends in the first place. This will be enough,” said Gerald in a calm tone.
The secretary simply bowed before leaving. Unfortunately, though she had made sure to expose ample of her bosom as she bowed, Gerald hadn’t seemed to take any notice of her efforts. With her attempt failed, she left feeling both slightly embarrassed and disappointed.
“Who should I even give these to? Heh, Zack really knows how to run a business, what a considerate guy!” said Gerald to himself as he chuckled. “Ah, I can send some over to Xeno and Sienna! I’ll give some to Fay tomorrow as well!”
It had been a long day at work and Fay had been the nicest person to him in the company so far. Gerald figured that it was only fair to repay the favor.
After brushing his teeth, Gerald lay on his bed and began video chatting with Mila. It had been about two months since she had gone abroad. If things went accordingly, she would be back within another month’s time.
After talking to each other for three hours straight, the call finally ended and Gerald was able to get a good night’s sleep. Morning came soon enough, and Gerald was up early for work as per usual. By the time he arrived, quite a few of his colleagues were already there.
They seemed to be discussing the party last night, and their chattering echoed throughout the office.
