A buyout (Part 2)

Elanor was truly touched by this action of Gary’s. She could see that some of the others were contemplating to follow suit. The manager wouldn’t mind, but with how much time had passed, even the stars should be aware that many of their fans might see through that it would simply be a stunt, a way to become even more popular with the people. The thing was, Gary was doing this, and he didn't even want credit for it, letting the old man deal with it all, and leaving before they would even get the gift that he had prepared for them.

She would certainly come back at some point and get the others' reactions after Gary had left.

Heading up the elevator that was now working and had the buttons intact, they reached the top floor. Quite a difference from the days when Gary would have to climb the whole flight of stairs every day.
