After all, among all those gifts, this one seemed insignificant, just a small flat box the size of a palm, as if it could be easily pushed into a corner.
When he saw the protective amulet, one of his teammates who had come to visit him even mocked,
“Why did they give such a worthless protective amulet as a gift? Ah, I guess this fan must not have much money. These amulets only cost a few dollars at the temple!”
“But it’s still a fan’s heartfelt gesture.” He had replied to his teammate in a formulaic tone.
Although he remembered the lucky charm, in the end, he casually put it along with other gifts in the warehouse, to be used for a future charity event!
“Is it a charm with a white bead hanging from it?” Kit asked, relying on his memory.
“Yes,” Tina replied.
“Well, I received it.” However, now he was unsure of where exactly the charm was, and whether it had been sold along with the other items during the charity sale.
“That’s great, I didn’t expect you to still remember that charm,” Tina said, smiling with satisfaction.
This is probably the satisfaction of an idol remembering a gift given by a fan.
Kit looked at Tina’s smile. Why was she able to show such a smile just for receiving a gift from him?
As if he was important to her!
But she already has another man by her side, doesn’t she?
Why does she still come and provoke him like this?
“So, your concern has reached the point where you need to send me resources?” Kit’s voice suddenly rose.
Tina was taken aback, then realized what he meant, “You know?”
“Did you give me resources but didn’t want me to know?” he asked with a smile.
Although Tina is usually easygoing, it doesn’t mean she doesn’t pick up on cues, especially at this moment when Kit’s words seemed to contain some sarcasm.
“Indeed, the resources were entrusted to me by my parents. My intention was for you to not make decisions regarding resources that you would regret in the future. Furthermore, I believe in your potential. As long as you are given an opportunity, I believe you have the ability to obtain better resources based on your own skills.” Tina straightforwardly explained the situation.
She didn’t want any misunderstandings between her and Kit.
However, Kit suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter coming through his mask. “So, you really are the heiress of the White Maple Group. Resources of this level that others can’t even beg for, you can easily give to me with just a few words. So, what do you want me to do?”
As he spoke, he took off his glasses and mask, revealing his handsome face. “What do you want from me? Do you like my face or my body? With such valuable resources, even if you ask me to sleep with you, I shouldn’t refuse, right? Or perhaps, you want to have a secret affair behind your fiancé’s back?”
While speaking, he approached Tina.
Tina looked at Kit in shock, as if she were looking at a stranger. “What did you say?”
“You give me resources because you like me, right? So, what do you want me to do? Since the resources are so valuable, anything should be possible.” He leaned closer to her, his breath brushing against her cheek, like an invisible provocation.
“What’s the matter? Can’t speak? Or do you want me to be more proactive?” As he spoke, his fingers brushed against her soft lips, and then his lips were about to touch hers.
“Smack!” A crisp and loud slap interrupted his actions.
Tina forcefully pushed Kit away, glaring at him. A palm print appeared on his handsome cheek, the result of her slap.
She was well aware of how important his idol face was. Even if she wanted to hit him, she shouldn’t have hit his face.
But she didn’t regret what she had done.
“Why is it that giving you resources automatically means I want to do such things with you? Do you think your success until now is solely because of your body? Yes, you are an idol, and perhaps many fans like you because of your body and appearance, but I believe there are more fans who like your singing talent, your hard work, and your character!” Tina said indignantly.
She added, “Of course, I used to think highly of your character, but now I realize that I was clearly mistaken!”
Her palm still tingled, reminding her of the slap she had just delivered.
Kit raised his hand and touched the place where he had been slapped. The sensation of pain and
Tina’s gaze at that moment filled his chest with complex emotions.
“Furthermore, the resources I gave you weren’t something I could casually obtain with just a few words!
I had to beg my mother and promised that it would be a one-time thing for you. I believe that as long as you are given an opportunity, you can seize it with your own efforts and talent. That’s why my mother agreed to talk to my father and why you have this opportunity!”
After a pause, Tina continued, “I said I’m your fan, so I want my idol to have a broader stage, to shine on a stage that belongs to him. But now I’m starting to doubt if I was wrong, if I shouldn’t have liked an idol like you in the first place.”
He fell into silence, feeling an even sharper pain in his heart.
“If you are more willing to exchange your body for resources, then you can refuse this opportunity, because from the beginning, I never intended to gain any benefits from you, let alone have you use your body in exchange! And the resources I can offer you, this is the only chance. If you have nothing else to say, then I’ll leave!”
After finishing her words, Tina didn’t look at Kit again and left directly.
Kit stood there dumbfounded, the pain on his face reminding him of what he had just experienced.
When he found out that Tina was the one who had provided him with the resources, his anger and insecurity merged into an indescribable emotion. In that instant, he felt like a beggar, accepting Tina’s charity!
That’s why he came to see her and deliberately said those things, just to vent this feeling of inferiority in his heart!
But… she turned out to be more honest than he had imagined!
And her honesty only highlighted his own filthiness!
After Kit’s manager made several phone calls to reach Kit, he finally got through, but before he could ask where Kit was, Kit spoke first.
“Where are the leftover gifts from the charity event that the fans gave me? Where are they?”
“Huh?” The manager paused for a moment.
“I mean the charity event I organized after I got injured and hospitalized!” Kit reminded.
“I think they are kept in the company warehouse.” The manager replied uncertainly. After all, it had been over two years since then.
“I want to go to the warehouse, go get the keys.” Kit said.
“What? Now?” The manager asked in surprise.
“Yes, now. I’ll be waiting for you at the entrance of the company warehouse!” Kit ended the call.
The manager stared at his phone for a while before putting it away and rushing to the company.
What’s going on! Finally, we landed a big opportunity out of the blue, and now Kit suddenly leaves, and wants to go to the warehouse!
When the manager arrived at the warehouse, Kit was already there.
However, as soon as the manager saw the obvious palm print on Kit’s face, he froze. “Your face…”
“Where are the keys?” Kit, however, had no intention of explaining the red mark on his face. He just stretched out his hand and asked the manager for the keys to the warehouse.
The manager quickly took out the keys, and Kit swiftly opened the door to the warehouse, then found his nameplate.
Underneath his nameplate were piles of gifts from his fans that hadn’t been dealt with.
However, they were in a messy arrangement and it was impossible to tell what they were.
Kit walked quickly, starting to search through them one by one, looking for the talisman he remembered.
“What are you looking for?” the manager asked, puzzled.
Kit ignored his words and continued searching.
Finally, the talisman from his memory came into his view, but it was older than he remembered, and because of poor preservation, it looked dirty.
However, at this moment, Kit held the inconspicuous talisman in his palm as if it were a precious treasure.
“Is this the talisman you were looking for?” the manager asked, “Is it very important?”
“Yes, very important,” Kit muttered.
This was the amulet Tina gave him. Luckily, he didn’t lose it. Luckily… it’s still here!
After leaving the company, Kit returned to his apartment with the amulet.
As soon as he entered, he saw his father already in the apartment, clearly waiting for him.
“Haha, my son, I knew you would listen to me,” Edmond’s mood was clearly good. As soon as he saw
Kit, he approached with a smile and patted his son’s shoulder.
Kit frowned.
Edmond continued, “I heard you signed a big contract today, and the resources are from the
Stephenson family’s daughter. I knew it, that girl is easy to please. As long as you make her happy, the resources will keep pouring in. But you have to be careful, after all, her fiancé is Chandler.”
Edmond was clearly pleased with his son signing this big contract.
Kit’s eyes flickered slightly. He didn’t expect his father to already know about the signing today.
“This is the only one Tina gave me, and it’s the last resource,” he said.
“What?” Edmond was taken aback.
“She told me she won’t give me any other resources in the future.” Because this resource was hard for her to obtain.
“What’s going on? Did you do something to make her angry?” Edmond’s face changed.
Kit remained silent. Yes, he did make Tina angry today! Angry enough to even lay hands on him.
She had always cared for him, helped him, encouraged him, and showed him warmth.
She was like an enthusiastic fan to him, but to him, she was more than just a fan. It seemed that unconsciously, she had entered his world and became increasingly vivid and important to him.
Seeing his son silent, Edmond became even angrier. “You’ve already offended Mr. Perkins. If you offend Miss Stephenson again, what do you think will happen to your future? If no one gives you resources, in the end, you’ll just be a washed-up star that no one cares about! Do you really want to live a life of poverty again? Don’t think that just because you’re my son, you’ll get my money!”
Kit sneered. He always knew that his father only saw him as a tool and never truly regarded him as a son.
“Alright, I understand,” Kit said calmly.
Edmond was taken aback. “What do you understand?”
“I understand that even if I become poor and a washed-up star in the future, I won’t spend a single cent of my father’s money. So, father, you can rest assured. Even if my future is difficult, I won’t burden you,”
