CHAPTER 86

Anous returned to his job. He took the kids to school and then dropped Benjamin, Rebecca, andVeronica at the Powell’s gym. Jane and Donovan were already waiting there. Donovan didn’t lookashamed of what had happened at the birthday party, as he seemed to already put that behind him.

“Why do we only get 1 hour?” Jane complained before even entering the gym. “Donovan says we needat least two to three hours to properly train our body under supervision.” “This is like rehabilitating, youknow,” replied Rebecca. “Some training without therapy.” After they entered, a tall and handsome blackman came to greet them. Both Rebecca and Jane went speechless for a second.

“P-Powell?” Jane was shocked. “It’s you?”

“Haha,” Powell laughed, putting his hands on his waist. “It’s great to meet friends from college, especiallyyou, Jane.” He offered his hand for a handshake, but she didn’t go with the flow.

Jane grabbed Donovan’s arm and said, “This is Donovan, my boyfriend.”

“Oh…” Powell’s gaze changed. He looked at Donovan from top to bottom. “Your body isn’t bad, but itneeds some more symmetry.” “Pfhh,” Donovan couldn’t believe this guy. “Whatever.” He walked pasthim. “I don’t need anybody’s help.” “Your wish,” Powell didn’t mind it. “My only obligation is to care forMs. Rebecca, so..” when he looked at Rebecca and smiled, Benjamin put his arm around her shoulder,startling both of them.

“Why don’t we see how good you really are, Mr. Powell?” Benjamin said. “I hope your skills match atleast half your reputation.” Powell just smiled in return and then showed his skill with actions. He madeRebecca do low impact workouts that targeted her injured leg. After she warmed-up enough, he madeher do slightly harder workouts using resistance bands and also making her stand on one leg. Therewasn’t anything groundbreaking in the exercises he made her do, but at the end of the first session, she

was already able to walk a few steps without having to use the walking stick. Rebecca was mightilyimpressed with Powell and gave him a handshake at the end. “You definitely are worth paying 1000dollars per hour.” “He didn’t magically cure you,” Benjamin said. “You are still going to feel the pain afteryour muscles cool down.”

“I know that, too,” she replied, “but you’ve gotta give credit where it’s due.”

“Of course,” Benjamin said, “but I would have done better. Just saying.”

Powell could only shake his head,

At that moment, Artur walked into the wym, and Powell went over to greet him,

“Why’s he here?” Veronica looked surprised. All she had done in the gym was experiment with everyitem and didn’t really do any productive work. “The guy who built an excalator for you, sis.” She looked ather sister,

Rebecca frowned, (Brother… I thought you really cared for me, but you don’t do anything in that doesn’tbenefit you, do you?) She felt really disappointed in her brother Shawn.

“Why are there so many people here?” Artur asked Powell, jokingly. “I thought you only took one personin at a time?”

“Yes, Mr. Artur, but I had to make an exception because some of them were my college mates.” “Oh, 1see,” he said and glanced at Rebecca. “It’s nice to meet you again, Ms. Rebecca.”

“You two know each other?” Powell seemed surprised.

“Just a little,” Artur touched his cheek once.

“We’ll be back tomorrow, Powell,” Rebecca said and walked out without the help of the walking stick.Benjamin followed her and helped her when she was about to slip on the stairs, He had her back.

“Thanks.”

“Don’t mention it.”

Donovan and Jane went in a separate car. Veronica tagged along with her sister. While Anous drove,Benjamin sat in the front, with the sisters in the back.

“I’m telling you. He’s definitely joined this gym for you, sister,” Veronica said, “It’s a great opportunity ifyou ask me. Artur Bonsbell… He’s filthy rich. Mom and dad won’t object to it. I don’t like big guys, butmaybe you do. I only see good fortunes ahead with him.”

“Why don’t you marry him then?” Benjamin spoke back.

“Huh? I would if he wasn’t that big,” replied Veronica, sounding serious and genuine. “He’s too far awayfrom my preferences, but I think my sister has a different taste.”

Benjamin glanced over his shoulder and looked at his wife. “Is your sister serious?”

“Huh?” Veronica raised her hand to slap Benjamin’s face, but Rebecca stopped her.

“Hey, what are hell are you doing!” Rebecca yelled at her. “I’m doing what’s best for you,” Veronica yelledback. “What’s best for my sister!” “And that is?” Benjamin asked aloud, “What you want, or what yoursister wants?”

“O-Of course, it’s what my sister wants,” Veronica said and then went silent for a little while.“ I won’taccept you as my brother-in-law. Even if the heavens collapse, I won’t!”

Benjamin could only shake his head. Talking with this woman was useless, he thought.

Meanwhile, in Powell’s gym.

Powell was training Artur, and he received a phone call. He was about to reject, but after

seeing the name, he asked Artur’s permission and walked outside before answering, “Hello,

sir.”

“How are you doing, Powell?” a male voice came from the other side. “Doing, great, sir. If not for yourfinancial support, I wouldn’t be here, sir, earning 10 grand a day.”

“Good for you. Now I want you to do me a favor.”

“Anything, Sir Arlo.”

“Nothing much. A woman named Rebecca has started coming to your gym, right?”

“Yes. She’s my collegemate.” “Oh, that’s great. I was about to tell you to install some cameras in thewashroom for her, but it seems there may be no need for that.”

Powell’s expression changed. “W-What are you saying, sir?”

“Will you be able to bring her to me, Powell? If you do, I’ll help you earn more than 10 grand a day withless work.”

Powell was really tempted by the offer. “Sorry, sir, but she’s a friend of mine. Ask me anything else, and Iwill do that for you.”

“Is that so? Fine. It was good talking to you.” The call ended.

Powell exhaled audibly. “Why is Arlo Campbell interested in Rebecca? Did she see her in one of thecompetitions? That guy is the king of womanizers. I’m afraid Rebecca is going to have a hard timedealing with him.” He noticed that Luther, Artur’s bodyguard, was looking at him, so he smiled and said,“How are you doing, sir?”

He only received a nod in return. “This guy never talks,” murmuring to himself, Powell went back into hisgym.
