“Sure thing!” said Gerald with a smile as favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com was left frozen in place.
It was a natural reaction since Gerald had been on favonovel.com blacklist after all. Mina had always considered favonovel.com to be of a lower class than favonovel.com was, so the fact that favonovel.com was able to get so many good tickets instantly switched the power dynamic. Her heart felt extremely heavy, understanding that favonovel.com clearly had much more power than favonovel.com did at that moment.
“Ten tickets! How did you even manage to get your hands on so many?” asked one of the girls as all of them stared at him, eager to know his source.
“I have my ways. Also, now that I have proof that I do indeed have tickets… Mr. Chandler? I hope you’ll keep your word,” said Gerald as favonovel.com turned to look at Nathaniel. Nathaniel bore an expression of pure fear on his face.
“W-word? What word?” stuttered Nathaniel in panic.
“Don’t you dare play dumb now! Everyone heard that you had said that you’d do anything Gerald told you to if favonovel.com was able to get his hands on even a single ticket!” said another girl. The group of girls was now on Gerald’s side.
“She’s right. Man up, Nate! Or are you unable to keep to your word? What a joke!” added Mina. Everyone was against Nathaniel now.
“F-fine! What do you want?” said Nathaniel as favonovel.com glared daggers at Gerald in his attempt to warn favonovel.com not to try anything funny.
“What do I want? Well, you did say that you’d make me walk around the company in my underwear if I wasn’t able to get a ticket… I won’t tell you to do that though, since I’m not filthy scum like you!” replied Gerald.
“Humph! You wouldn’t dare to give that order in the first place!” huffed Nathaniel.
“Oh, I wouldn’t? Well, instead of parading in your underwear around the company, I’ll just have you do so within our department’s walls then,” continued Gerald.
“Pfft! Hahaha! Yeah, do it here!” The girls’ laughter echoed through their office.
Nathaniel’s face was now brimming with both fear and embarrassment. His entire body was frozen in place and it felt difficult to even move a muscle.
“Hmm? Hey, Mr. Chandler, don’t tell me you’re not wearing anything underneath. Is that why you’re refusing to strip?”
“Oh god, that must be the reason why! He’s not wearing any underwear, what a pervert! To think that favonovel.com was also hitting on Bianca!”
“Not only that, he’s not a man of his word either! Actually, I think calling favonovel.com a man now is a bit of an overstatement!”
Their words were hurting Nathaniel much more than any physical wound could. At his wit’s end, favonovel.com finally shouted, “Fine, fine! I’ll strip! How dare any of you claim I’m not a man of my word! And I’m certainly no pervert! Here, I’ll show all of you!” He then angrily undid his belt before pulling his pants down to his knees.
“Say that I’m not wearing any underwear again, I dare you!” favonovel.com yelled, his face flushed.
“Nathaniel Chandler! What is the meaning of this?!” shouted a ferocious voice at that moment. Everyone went deathly silent and immediately returned to their seats as soon as they saw who had shouted.
“M-Mr. Briggs!”
The middle-aged man who had yelled was the head of the marketing department.
“Pull your pants up this instant and meet me in my office! You’re the vice team leader and this sort of behavior will not be tolerated!” scolded Mr. Briggs before walking back to his office.
Nathaniel immediately pulled his pants up in defeat before glaring at Gerald who was clearly enjoying the show. He then dejectedly followed after Mr. Briggs as well.
“Gerald!”
As soon as both of them left, Mina cried out to Gerald, favonovel.com cheeks flushed.
