On the third day after Christmas, Christina was forced to practice shooting in the club.
"Actually, the sign on the door says ‘rest""
She was somewhat angry.
There were no guests in the club.
Why did he call her so many times to ask her to practice shooting? The burly middle-aged American
head coach smiled resignedly.
"My wife complained all morning because I didn't go shopping with her as I promised.It's killing me to
buy clothes and bags with women.Now I have to work overtime temporarily, it should be what you
Chinese call a blessing in disguise."
"Work overtime temporarily?"
Christina became alert.
"Who said you have to work overtime? Are you working for Patrick?"
The bastard is the owner of this club.
It must be him! The hefty coach didn't say anything, just looked happier.
Although the American coach looked like an affable person, he did not make do with the training.
Christina was urged by him to go to the shooting range.
Then she aimed the gun at the target.
However, after some simple actions, her hands were sore.
Being drenched with sweat, she gulped down three bottles of mineral water and panted heavily, "When
will it be over..."
She was exhausted.
However, the coach behind her handed her a gun and asked her to continue.
Then he said casually, "I heard you practiced karate, so let's go to the boxing ring later."
Christina nearly swore and immediately held a grudge against the head coach.
She became so petty that when she arrived at the boxing ring, she started boxing before he could put
on the gloves.
More importantly, she was extremely serious.
The coach might not have expected her to be so fragile but strong.
She threw him over her shoulder to the ground in two seconds, so he was a little embarrassed.
After that, the coach could not treat her as an ordinary woman, or he would be sent to the hospital.
"You're basically a professional player.Ordinary men don't dare to get close to you."
When today's class was over, they panted and guzzled water, teasing each other casually.
Christina performed very well.She was tall and slim, moreover, she had a good foundation since
childhood.
What's more, she not only had quick reactions but also was very agile and talented.
The coach said very pertinently, "However, people can see through you since you don't have fierce
eyes."
Christina grabbed a clean towel and wiped the sweat off her forehead.
She looked up at him and began to contemplate.
Suddenly, LUCY came to her mind.
The woman had sharp eyes as she fought, and she was cold and heartless.
LUCY hadn't contacted her for a long time.
LUCY disappeared after inexplicably asking her to participate in the IP&G advertisement audition last
time.
At that time, she was worried that something terrible would happen if she didn't get it, but nothing
special happened It seemed that LUCY was just trying to make fun of her.
The coach beside her also noticed her serious expression and asked concernedly, "Did anything
happen?"
Christina came back to earth at once and stared at the coach with a complicated look for a long time.
"I don't think you're an ordinary shooting coach in the club, aren't you?" She suddenly asked.
He didn't seem to expect to be questioned, so he was in a daze for a while and told her the truth,
"Strictly speaking, I'm a retired soldier"
"Which country, the United States?"
"I don't come from any country" He smiled.
"Mercenary?"Christina guessed and asked.
At that moment, a strange look flashed across his face, but he did not continue.
Christina did not ask again.
They walked out of the club side by side and became a little close probably because they practiced
shooting and boxing together.
"Miss Dickens, will you come here next week?"
It took him nine calls to get her here this time, which was not easy.
"I won't come if I'm in a bad mood."
Christina turned to look at him unnaturally.
What she said indicated that she wasn't angry with him, but another person.Why should I be obedient
every time? Why? Christina became angrier.
She disliked every corner of the club, especially it was run by that bastard.
"Miss Dickens, exercise is more effective than any medicine in treating depression and it helps people
become more firm and persistent, don't you think?"
Christina's face fell when she heard this, "Oh, so you know that I have depression.It's my honor”
She gnashed her teeth as she said the last words. Only then did the coach realize that he had said
something he shouldn't have said, but he didn't seem to have any scruples.
The casual words revealed his deep meaning.
"Miss Dickens, you're very outstanding, but that's not enough for being his girl.Maybe you'll be a drag
on him.."
Christina turned to look at him only to find that he had walked towards the staff passage.She didn't go
after the coach but looked at him.
He walked steadily, so he was certainly not an ordinary person.
The people around Patrick were not ordinary people.
"Christina!"
Suddenly, a familiar person skittered through the entrance of the club excitedly.
Christina was slightly surprised to see Crystal.
"How did you get in?"
Although they had made an appointment to meet here, she remembered that the club was not
snobbish.She was not allowed to enter last time because it was only for VIPs.
Anyway, it bothered her.
"I said I was your friend, and then they let me in respectfully" Crystal said proudly.
"Christina, why are you suddenly practicing shooting here?"
Hearing this, Christina's face darkened.Then she said stiffly and reluctantly, "Exercise is good for
treating depression."
Actually, she was compelled by the man! Crystal didn't doubt it.
"Guns are legal abroad.Your character is quite suitable for living abroad"
However, their character was totally different.
Crystal would be afraid of such a challenging life, so she was not suitable for it at all.
Crystal was not interested in boxing and shooting, so she didn't watch and they left directly.
"Crystal, why did you go to C City on Christmas?" Christina asked her casually.
Crystal felt guilty and said, "I'm sorry.I didn't show up that day:"
Originally, they had agreed to have Christmas dinner together.
There was a complicated expression on Christina's face when it comes to Christmas.
They had their own thoughts, but neither of them wanted to talk about that day.
After chatting for a while, they decided to go to the nearby supermarket.
"Christina, have you not cooked for a long time? Hey, I have told you so many times that you can't
order takeout all day..."
Crystal nagged as she picked out fresh ingredients in the supermarket's fresh produce area.
Then she grabbed a few large space peppers and asked Christina, "How about fried beef with
peppers?"
Christina did not answer her but kept looking back.
"What's wrong?"
Crystal noticed something no matter how dull she was.
Christina frowned and said uncertainly, "It seems that a man has been following us..."
