Gerald Crawford:The Secretly Rich Man Novel (Invisible or Poorest) Chapter 520 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 accept his offer, right? Oh! And you can bet that Mina will be trying to get herself a ticket too! She probably won’t even consider coming to work that day! She simply adores Kai to the point where her phone is filled with reality shows and movies with him in them! She won’t let the chance slip by her that easily!” The chattering continued to echo through the office.
Not too long after, the office started getting crowded as more and more people arrived for work. By then, Fay had arrived as well.
“Morning, Gerald!” said Fay with a weak smile. She seemed to be in a bad mood.
“Morning, Fay!” replied Gerald with his own smile. From what he had heard earlier, he knew that Fay didn’t exactly have a good time yesterday, so he refrained from asking her why she was looking blue.
“Oh, by the way, Gerald, I seem to have bought too many buns. Have you eaten? I don’t think I can finish all of these… Would you like some?” offered Fay.
“Why thank you! I actually haven’t had breakfast yet!” replied Gerald as he took a bun for himself and bit into it rather greedily.
As he watched her turn her computer on, Gerald noticed that her desktop background was that of a famous celebrity. Curious, Gerald asked, “Hey Fay, do you like that celebrity? I heard that she’s going to be performing at the concert!”
Turning to look at him, she nodded with a smile before taking a sip of soy milk. “I am! And I’m excited about the concert too! You know, back when I was still in high school, my biggest dream was to earn enough money to attend one of her concerts and hear her sing live! However, looking at the ticket prices, it doesn’t seem like I’ll be achieving that goal any time soon… Like, for real! Nine hundred dollars for a ticket? Are you kidding me? I can’t afford to go broke for a concert!” she said with a sigh, visibly disappointed.
Gerald then took another big bite into his bun and with his mouth full, he said, “I actually have a few relevant connections, so if you want, I could get you a ticket!”
Since she was a nice girl in general and she had even offered him some buns for breakfast, Gerald saw no problem with giving her a ticket. Besides, he had so many of them that it would truly be a waste if he only kept them to himself.
“…Wait, what? For real?” exclaimed Fay. Though her eyes sparkled with excitement at that moment, they soon reflected a slight skepticism. “Hey, you’re pulling my leg, aren’t you Gerald? Or is there some kind of catch?”
“I’m not kidding! Here, have it!” he replied as he took a ticket out of his bag and handed it to her. “That’s a ticket for the middle row! Since that area is slightly elevated, it shouldn’t be too crowded there and you’ll be able to take lots of nice photos! What more, you’ll be able to see your favorite singer from up there clearly!”
“…H-huh?” Fay was stunned. She hadn’t expected him to be serious.
“G-Gerald! I… T-thank you so much!” stuttered Fay as she took the ticket from him with trembling hands. She wanted to pay him back, but Gerald simply refused, insisting that she took it for free.
After finishing his breakfast, Gerald felt slightly thirsty so he decided to go to the water dispenser. Just as he was about to get up, another group of employees entered the office.
“Ugh! This is so unfair!” said an irritated female voice as she stomped all the way to her seat. She slammed her purse onto her desk the moment she got to it, and everyone there was startled.
“What’s wrong, Miss Mina?” asked an employee.
The woman causing the ruckus was of course, Mina Miles.
