Chapter 176:

After tidying up Madisyn’s desk, Teresa organized her own workspace, feeling utterly down. At that moment, her phone rang. When she looked at the screen and saw a message from Kian, she immediately replied, pouring out all her bitterness and frustrations.

Kian responded reassuringly, “Honey, it’s okay. Come on, cheer up now! I’ll come to pick you up tonight. Let’s have dinner together.”

Then, he sent her a link to a restaurant’s website, followed by a message, “By the way, how about this restaurant? Check it out and let me know what you think.”

Teresa clicked on the link to check the place. It turned out to be a famous restaurant for couples, with an average cost of ten thousand dollars per person. She was so excited that she couldn’t help asking, “Honey, are you going to treat me to this restaurant?”

This was one of the perks of being a male star’s girlfriend. Kian was not only incredibly handsome but also wealthy.

However, Teresa’s daydream was shattered by Kian’s reply. “Honey, you know that I just bought an apartment, right? I’m a little strapped for cash at the moment.”

Did this mean he expected her to foot the bill for such an expensive dinner? Teresa couldn’t even imagine spending more than ten thousand dollars for a meal. Besides, she had spent all her savings when she first dined with her colleagues.

Teresa replied, “It’s fine. We can go to your apartment and cook. I’ll make you dinner.”

Kian quickly responded, “Honey, are you not willing to spend money on me?”

Then, it was followed by a disappointed emoji.

Teresa’s heart skipped a beat. She hurriedly replied, “No, no, no! It’s not like that.”

“Honey, I’ve been wanting to go to this restaurant for ages. Can you take me there?” Kian acted like a spoiled child.

Teresa bit her lower lip, caught in a dilemma. Of course, she wanted to go to that restaurant too, but she had no money. What could she do?

She thought of Kian’s new apartment. Kian was broke because he used his money to buy an apartment in Gemond. After they got married, she would live there with him.

Teresa took a deep breath and searched for some more affordable restaurants. She chose one and sent it to Kian, who reluctantly agreed.

After putting away his phone, Kian saw Evie approaching him.

“How have you been? Are you busy lately?” Evie asked concernedly, sitting next to him.

Kian looked at her beautiful face and replied, “Yeah, I’ve been a bit swamped recently. Honey, I might not be able to have dinner with you tonight.”

“Oh?” Evie couldn’t hide the disappointment in her voice and on her face. It had been two weeks since they had a meal together.

Kian sensed Evie felt a little unhappy. He quickly said, “Honey, don’t worry. I’ll have dinner with you tomorrow. You know that my career is on the rise now, right?”

“Okay. But where are you going tonight?”

“I have a dinner meeting with a client.”

Evie nodded. “Alright.” She didn’t ask any more questions. Since she was also an artist in the entertainment industry, she understood that there were social engagements they couldn’t avoid. Besides, Kian’s status in the entertainment industry was higher than hers. Naturally, he had more engagements. At present, they were both busy chasing their dreams. Evie accepted this reality. She even felt sorry for Kian at times.

Kian reached out and touched her face, a hint of delight in his eyes. Indeed, Evie was a good woman. But compared to a member of the Johns family… Obviously, a member of the Johns family was more important to him. He needed her.

If he became a part of the Johns family, he wouldn’t have to work so hard anymore. Kian started daydreaming about his bright future.

Soon, it was the day of Waylon’s concert.

When Madisyn arrived at the venue, she was truly amazed. She knew Waylon was popular, but she didn’t expect him to be this popular. Many security guards were deployed around the venue to maintain peace and order and guide the fans in. The venue could accommodate more than seven thousand people, and it was packed, making it look even more spectacular.

Madisyn and her colleagues lined up at the gate, waiting for their turn to get inside.

“Madisyn, thank you so much. You are so kind,” Annis Barrett, Madisyn’s colleague, said gratefully. “Waylon has always been my idol. I’ve tried to buy tickets to his concert many times but never succeeded. I can’t believe I’ll finally be watching him live tonight. And this wouldn’t have happened if not for you. So, accept my payment for the ticket, okay? I’ve already sent the money to you.”

Madisyn received a notification that her bank account had received ten thousand dollars. She was a little moved when she saw the excitement in Annis’s eyes. Annis was really Waylon’s die-hard fan. Madisyn didn’t return Annis’s money. She knew it would make Annis feel better if she let her pay for the ticket.

“Wow, you guys came early!” said a sarcastic voice behind them.

It was Teresa, accompanied by Liza and their entourage.

Annis’s brows furrowed tightly, clearly not pleased to see them. Liza and her entourage were only bold enough to bully others because they were backed by Teresa.

Teresa sneered, “You still need to line up? Ha-ha! What a pity! I’m sorry, but we don’t have to struggle like you.”

“Exactly! They actually have to wait in a long queue,” Liza chimed in with her usual mean and arrogant tone. “But we are fortunate enough to have VIP tickets. This is one of the benefits of being friends with Teresa. She is very generous, and she treats us well. You know what? If Madisyn can’t treat you the same, you should really consider quitting following her.”

Liza was enticing the others to join their group. However, Annis just ignored them, as if they were not in front of her.

Liza and Teresa felt so embarrassed that their faces flushed. They didn’t expect to be shrugged off like this. Teresa snorted coldly and led her group to another entrance.

They entered the concert venue through the back door.

“Is this the VIP entrance?” Liza asked curiously, looking around.

Teresa felt a bit guilty. Actually, they were at the staff entrance, and she could only get in because she knew someone who worked there. But, of course, she couldn’t tell her group about it. Otherwise, she would lose face. So, she said, “Yes, that’s right.”

“But why is it so messy here?” asked someone as they walked through a cluttered room. Finally, they made it to the concert venue.

Now that they were inside, everyone quickly forgot about what happened just now and eagerly found their seats.

Teresa’s group had expected to sit at the front, thinking they had VIP tickets. But to their surprise, they found their seats near the back. From their location, Waylon looked like a tiny black dot.

“Teresa, did we find the wrong seats?” Liza couldn’t help asking. “These seats should be the cheapest. We’re supposed to be VIPs. Shouldn’t we be in front?”
