Sponsor Gifts Hunger Games の小説・ストーリー

“I mean… what if it’s a trap? What if they lock the doors and demand our kidneys? Isn’t it suspicious how the anonymous sponsor knew the exact store we planned to shop in?” Olive scoffed. “Sweetheart, if they want our kidneys, they better be prepared to drag it out of me kicking and screaming. Meanwhile, I’m getting a Dyson hairdryer.” Before I could argue, one of the women pulled out a thick white envelope and pressed it into my hands. “This is also for you. A small token of appreciation from the sponsor.” My stomach lurched. The envelope felt heavy very heavy. “No—no, I can’t take that.” I quickly tried to push it back, shaking my head. “Cash? No way. Absolutely not.”

one man declared, and the room applauded politely as soon as they began with the donations. “Two hundred thousand,” a wealthy woman offered, and more applause. “Three hundred. Four hundred. Five hundred. Fifty thousand,” the donations went on and on as the wealthy elites started to make their own donations. And then, right at the moment, with an elegant poise and a charming smile, as well as a voice full of confidence, Gwen came forward and announced the highest, “A million.” The room erupted in admiration and collective gasps, as the people began to applaud so wildly, with a more spontaneous increase following the donations, and it had Skylar's mouth agape in shock even if she pretended to

I tossed the remote onto the desk and picked up another file. It was a donation agreement for a school in the mountains. Pages and pages of children's names filled the beneficiary list—kids desperate to study, to climb out of the slum they were born in, to see a different world. That mattered so much more than buying a spoiled little boy a Lego castle. Just then, my old phone buzzed. It was a text message from a remarkably smart girl I'd been quietly sponsoring for years. She'd just won gold for our country in the International Physics Olympiad.

My anger flared instantly as I snapped, "I am Mrs. Pearce! You graduated just last month, and I attended your graduation ceremony. You recognized me perfectly fine then!" "I… I didn't… I don't know what you're talking about…" Jennifer's eyes instantly filled with tears, her voice breaking. "That's enough!" Myra slapped my hand away and pulled Jennifer behind her, frowning at me. "I know you resent me for taking Georgie from you. That's between us, and you can take it out on me. Why drag an innocent child into this?" "Oh, my God! This is what a real sponsor looks like!" "Exactly. People who truly care treat those they sponsor like their own children. They would never grab and rush them like t

3 billion. Good. The work was done for today. Lia slowly got up with Aster and they went to the stage for the final speech. "Thank you for your donation. We will send you every detail of what your money helped us do. Please keep in touch. And if you like, you can still come to the events tomorrow. We have many fun things planned." Lia nodded and August also nodded. "Yes, the games are so fun. Trust me, I played then all day." August interrupted Aster.

Davina stops as she looks at Lorenzo and smiles. “ I decided to be the sponsor of Lorenzo” Davina's announcement makes the whole dining room fall silent but outside the dining room the servants who are loyal to Lorenzo are cheering internally as they aren't allowed to rejoice right now. “ Father, In generations of battle of succession. There is always a sponsor who will support the candidate. And I want to continue the tradition of the family. A sponsor must have in battle of succession” Davina confidently said as her eyes sparkling with determination that makes Perol laugh out of disbelief.

On screen, Wendy touched the pendant at her collarbone and smiled shyly. “Thank you, Mr. Spencer. This is the most special gift I’ve ever received.” Ryan didn’t say anything. But the way he looked at her was unmistakable. Soft. Indulgent. I had only ever seen that look on his sixteen-year-old face. After that year, I never saw him smile like that again. So stars fall after all. And moons get abandoned. Before I could steady my breath, the gala moved into the charity auction segment. The host announced loudly from the stage,

He was dressed in an elaborate suit and looked respectable. "I'm Mr Scott. I'd like to see it later. May I?" He asked me Daniel looked at me and I nodded. There was little a human could do to harm us. We followed Mr Scott to his office and he gave us seats. "There's a competition I'm holding. I'm being sponsored actually. The fastest eater goes away with $500, 000." He said and let his last words sink in in in. My eyes widened and Daniel looked at me. Mr... Scott smiled.

Harper introduced. “Oh, I've heard about you. Thank you so much for your previous donations, you've been a true savior to humanity.” Scarlett smiled warmly and Joey returned the gesture. “The pleasure is all mine Miss Scarlett.” The fundraising began and Joey gave one of the biggest donations. This didn't come as a shock as it wasn't the first time he was doing that.

"I won't be attending the wedding. Please help me deliver a big gift to the attendees instead." As the wedding drew nearer, I did not show up. Eventually, Joe started to panic. He called me to rush me. "Stop joking around, Simone. We have guests waiting for us. My parents are going to be humiliated. Come over right now!" I sneered. I counted silently in my heart before I answered him. "My gift for you has arrived, Joe." The screen in the middle of the wedding venue turned dark. An excited moan could be heard coming from it. The moans interspersed a flirty conversation between Joe and Erica.
