Chapter 50
Given Tom’s status, he probably had everything he could ever want, it was all the highest luxury
For example, the watch he wore at today’s banquet was worth at least eight figurs.
Dawn pondered briefly before suggesting. “How about a lighter?It’s a consumable, so no matter how expensive, it won’t be that much.”
“Tom doesn’t seem to smoke, though.”
“Doesn’t he?” She immediately retorted, “I saw him smoking from a distance a few days ago at the city hall!”
I felt a bit awkward, as I had never seen him smoke when we were together. Maybe his smoking habit wasn’t strong
“Alright. I’ll go with your suggestion and get a lighter.”

My colleagues and I had to work three extra days because I was still in my probationary period at work, and the production team was pushing us hard to finish the voiceover.
“We can finally rest!”
“Yeah, I feel like I’ve been working to death these past three days!”
“Everyone works for a living. Stay calm.”
“Finally, we get a day off! Does anyone have plans? Where are we going to have fun?
“What fun? I just want to go home and sleep”
While laughing at my colleagues‘ casual conversations, I packed up my things.
When Lucas announced the holiday, Thad already planned with Dawn to pick out a gift for Tom
Just then, my colleague Joseph Baker came over. “Grace, are you free for lunch? A triend gave me two tickets to a musical, and the next play we’re dubbing is based on a historical period, so it might be helpful for background research. Want to join me?“.
The next play was still assigned to Joseph and roe for the lead roles, and since it was set during the World War period, it would be useful to visit the opera house for some background research.
“Sorry, I’m meeting a friend to go shopping.” Tapologized
Joseph smiled. “No problem. We can plan for another day.”
Dawn’s call came in at that moment, so I quickly answered. “Hello, Dawn, where are you? I’m off work now and heading downstairs. Wait for me.”
After hanging up, I grabbed my bag and headed out.
“Grace!” Dawn waved at me from the entrance of the building.
I hurried over. “Have you been waiting long?”
Η
“No” She shook her head with a smile and opened the car door for me. “Let’s go. Get in.
But just as I was about to get in the car, Joseph suddenly ran over and handed me the two tickets. “Grace, why don’t you and your friend go? It would be a waste for me to go alone.”
I was surprised that he had followed me all the way here. I quickly said, “No thanks, Joseph”
“You don’t have to be polite with me.”
He insisted, shoving the tickets into my hand, then turned and waved at me. Enjoy yourselves.”
Tinstinctively wanted to chase after him, but he was already too far away.
“Nice! You’ve only just joined the company, and someone’s already got their eye on you. You really have an irresistible charm!” Dawn winked at me, grinning brightly:
1couldn’t help but laugh helplessly. “Stop joking. We’re just ordinary colleagues.”
“Would ordinary colleagues ghee our opera tickets? She grabbed the two tickets from my hand. “One ticket costs over a thousand dollars. That’s quite a generous gift.
