Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Giving Him a Gift
Ashley Shaw watched Ariana Grant clowning around and couldn’t help but hold back a laugh.
"Just eat your meal!"
Ariana Grant said "Oh, oh" twice, reminding Ashley Shaw, "Don’t forget, you need to accompany me for dinner tomorrow."
"Dinner? What dinner?"
Ariana Grant’s eyes widened.
"Did you really forget? You said you’d go with me to my mom’s boyfriend’s birthday banquet."
Ashley Shaw finally remembered.
"I’ll go ask Ms. Grant for leave right now."
"It’s in the evening, we can go at six-thirty. If you don’t mind the fatigue, we can go together after work and still make it."
Claire Xavier was concerned about her safety, so she usually had her leave work by sunset.
The usual end of work time was five-thirty.
Ashley Shaw nodded, "Alright, I’ll tell Ms. Grant I need to leave work early tomorrow."
"OK! You come back quickly then, and I’ll dress you up nicely. I can’t outshine his daughter, but you can."
Ariana Grant was referring to the daughter of her mom’s boyfriend.
Ashley Shaw knew the two didn’t get along, so she agreed with a nod.
"Sure! I’ll show her what a social beatdown is."
"Puff—why are you talking so smooth now?"
"Didn’t I learn it from you?"
The two of them burst into laughter.
However, after returning to her room after dinner, the smile on Ashley Shaw’s face faded, replaced by a complex expression.
Actually, Ariana Grant was wrong when she said Warren Prescott saved her once.
Warren Prescott hadn’t saved her once, but many times.
Not to mention the acid incident with May Lee, just Damon Crawford and Maeve alone, he had already saved her twice from danger.
Moreover, each time, if Warren Prescott hadn’t appeared, she wouldn’t be standing here in one piece.
On a whim, Ashley Shaw downloaded Spectator Live on her phone.
The livestream hadn’t ended, but the Stardust Team members were already saying goodbye to the audience in the room.
"Thank you all for watching. We’ll meet here on the livestream every Friday at six in the evening, remember to join us!" the team captain said.
The comments section was filled with "See you next Friday!"
But there were also some unrelated comments to the Stardust Team that suddenly jumped out.
"Captain! I want all the info on that handsome guy in black behind you!"
"Stardust Team brothers, please give me the contact info of that person behind you."
"I want to marry that staff!"
The Stardust Team members noticed and stiffly looked back.
Without Warren Prescott’s permission, they didn’t dare to give out his information.
"Warren..."
The captain nervously asked Warren Prescott, "Do you want to say hi to the livestream audience?"
Warren Prescott said expressionlessly, "No need, just thank the fans and log off."
Just then, a gift worth ten thousand appeared on the screen.
A staff member in charge of thanking the gifts immediately said, "Thank you ’summer’ for the ’82 Lafite’!"
As Warren Prescott was about to leave, he froze and looked at the large screen specifically for showing gifts.
On Spectator Live, the gifts are named after various drinks.
The cheapest gift is the one-yuan "Plain Water," whereas the most expensive is the ten-thousand "82 Lafite."
It wasn’t the high price of the gift that caught Warren Prescott’s attention to the staff’s thank-you words, but the ID of the gift giver.
"Summer" was Ashley Shaw’s WeChat name.
Warren Prescott glanced up, seeing that the user "Summer’s avatar exactly matched Ashley Shaw’s WeChat avatar.
Both the name and avatar aligned, and even a fool like Warren Prescott realized that it was Ashley Shaw.
Instinctively, he looked up towards the camera—
On the phone, Ashley Shaw saw Warren Prescott suddenly look over, and she was so frightened that she immediately exited the livestream, even tossing the book to the end of the bed.
What the... She only wanted to quietly send a gift to thank them for helping her today, so she wouldn’t feel too indebted to Warren Prescott.
But who would have thought, the staff actually read out her ID name.
And judging from Warren’s reaction, he clearly recognized her.
When she registered, she took the easy way out and logged in with WeChat directly, so both her avatar and ID were the same as her WeChat, which backfired.
Ashley Shaw frustratedly scratched her head.
But she quickly thought, she just sent a gift, not a bad review, why be so nervous?
Thinking this way, Ashley Shaw felt much better.
But just then, her phone rang.
At this hour, who could be looking for her?
Ashley Shaw climbed to the end of the bed to grab her phone, seeing the system display "You have a message from Warren on WeChat," her eyelid twitched twice.
She opened WeChat and saw "Warren" had sent her a question mark.
Ashley Shaw, bracing herself, sent a question mark back.
Summer: "?"
Warren: "Was that gift from you just now?"
Ashley Shaw took a deep breath and forced herself to reply: "What gift?"
Warren Prescott directly sent over a screenshot.
It was her account info from Spectator Live.
The account was linked to her phone number and was public.
Ashley Shaw went black for a moment.
Alright, no point in denying then.
She quickly replied, "Oh, you mean that, yes, I sent it."
Warren: "If you have money to waste, you can donate it."
Ashley Shaw furrowed her brows.
What did he mean by that? Whose money is ever unused?
Did she commit a crime by sending them gifts?
The next moment, Warren’s message arrived.
Warren: "Do you like them?"
Summer: "Who?"
Warren: "The Stardust Team."
Summer: "No, I don’t even know them."
On Warren’s end, the message showed he was typing, but nothing came for a while.
Ashley Shaw proactively sent over: "I just wanted to thank you guys. Don’t overthink it, I didn’t mean anything bad."
Two seconds later, Warren Prescott’s message came in.
Warren: "Need to work tomorrow?"
The topic shifted so quickly that Ashley Shaw was taken aback before replying.
Summer: "Yes. Why?"
Warren: "Take leave tomorrow afternoon, come with me to buy a gift."
Summer: "What gift?"
Just as she sent the message, Warren Prescott’s video call came through on WeChat.
It was not until she answered that Ashley Shaw realized it was a video call, and hastily moved her phone a bit to avoid the camera capturing her face.
On the other end, Warren Prescott was still at the eSports hotel, just walking down the stairs.
He didn’t seem to mind his face appearing in the video, with a perfect face that was unafraid of close-ups.
He said into the video, "Do you have the memory of a fish? Forgot you have to buy a gift for Leo?"
Ashley Shaw’s face darkened.
She had indeed forgotten...
