Even someone as top-notch as Riley only pulls in about thirty grand a month.
"Luke, what are you getting at?" Adrian snapped, wishing Kruz was there with him. Kruz was always the smooth talker. Just a minute ago, weren’t they sneering at their coach? And now Luke had the audacity to try and poach him right at their doorstep! The rest of the Reyes clan was fuming too.
Luke, on the other hand, acted like he hadn’t done anything out of the ordinary: "What's the big deal? I offer a better salary, and if folks want to come with me, that's just business as usual, right?"
Youth noticed the tension in the air and pieced it together. They weren’t on friendly terms. It looked like they were the Reyes family’s rivals.
"You probably can't afford us," he shot Luke a cool, unimpressed look. Never in his wildest dreams had he thought someone would offer him a ten grand monthly paycheck.
Luke figured they'd jump at the chance with a ten grand offer, but they turned him down? His face darkened immediately. Just some run-of-the-mill coaches, and ten grand isn’t enough for them? If it weren’t for wanting to rile up the Reyes family, who’d care about them anyway?
"Ten thousand bucks and you're still not biting? If you’re aiming higher, maybe take a good look at your skills first. I’m giving you a shot with the Jones family for your own good. The Reyes family’s racing team is about to hit the skids!"
"Join the Jones family, and not only do you get a fat paycheck, but you also get hands-on training from Riley!" Luke said, pointing at Riley. "This guy’s a senior coach at TM Club. Loads of people would kill for his mentorship. You’ve heard of TM Club, right?"
The expressions on their faces were a mixed bag of emotions. Youth glanced at Riley, struggling to recall when their club had snagged such a high-ranking coach. His instincts were usually spot-on.
The guy with the buzz cut behind him leaned in and whispered, "Boss, that's Riley."
