“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 hand.
“U-um… Gerald, may I have one too?”
“M-me too!”
“Gerald, could you sell some to us? We’re colleagues after all, aren’t we?”
From what Gerald could see, there were about seven other girls who were hardcore fans like Mina. They surrounded him instantly, displaying big puppy dog eyes to ensure that they would each get a ticket.
More of Gerald’s other colleagues started crowding around him as well, and with fangirls coming from all four teams, the total headcount easily amounted to thirty people. However, Gerald didn’t have that many tickets on hand at that moment.
He had no choice but to place the stack of tickets on his desk before saying, “I won’t be needing so many anyway, so take one each and have fun!”
Hearing that, all the girls gasped before rushing over to his table to grab their tickets.
Ava, on the other hand, hadn’t budged from her initial spot. She was staring at Gerald with mixed emotions brewing within her. Gerald hadn’t mentioned how he had gotten his hands on all those tickets, but she knew that the ticket prices were soaring high.
‘How much money had he used to get his hands on so many tickets?
