Sasha bobbed her head vigorously. “Yes, yes, I'm a woman of my words. All of the bets are now yours. Take it.”
The security guards hurried over and summed up Sasha's bet. It was slightly over seventy-eight million.
Proudly, Zeke did not hesitate to take it all without leaving a single dime for Sasha.
Thereafter, he left the gym, leaving behind Sasha who was fantasizing over his back profile.
Suddenly, a man's voice broke the silence at the gym. “Ms. Silvester, I remember there's more to it than just giving him all the money. You had promised to sleep with him for a night!”
“Darn you! The bet also includes me kicking your a**,” Sasha cursed while walking away.
After getting into her car, she realized that she was blushing. Cupping her burning cheeks, she giggled coquettishly.
“Zeke Williams... I'll make you mine tonight, no matter what it takes. Beauty and the hero, what a match made in heaven!”
It went unsaid that Zeke, on the other hand, had forgotten about the additional bet.
Right then, the one thing that occupied his mind was to dash toward Thomas' villa to save Emma.
When Boxing King appeared on the ring, Thomas had already left the gym for his villa.
Hence, he had no idea about the results of the match. In fact, he rooted for Boxing King, and he was so sure that the 'king' would win.
Once Zeke collapses, Emma will be my new toy.
No matter how fast Thomas was speeding, he still felt that the vehicle was moving at a snail's pace. How he wished he could have flown to his villa.
After what seemed like an eternity, he was finally reaching his home sweet home.
At the thought of a pleasurable night, his heart palpitated to a point whereby he almost lost his breath.
Emma, Madeline, and Desmond were already there waiting for him for hours.
When they did not see the arrival of Thomas and Divine Doctor, Emma grew increasingly impatient and annoyed.
She asked cautiously, “Why aren’t Mr. Fleming and Divine Doctor here yet? We've been waiting for an hour plus.”
Madeline queried Desmond too, “Precisely, Desmond. They should have reached way earlier.”
Desmond simply responded, “Do you think that Mr. Fleming and Divine Doctor are as free as us? They are extremely busy people with a lot on their plates to deal with daily. Moreover, we're the ones who are asking for a favor. What's wrong if we have to wait a little longer?”
Alright, then.
Upon being reprimanded, Emma and Madeline both kept their mouths shut.
Shortly after, Desmond's phone rang.
He took a peek at the caller's ID and noticed that it was from Desmond. Sneakily, he pretended to head to the bathroom and answer the call.
“Have you guys arrived, Desmond?”
“Yes, yes, Mr. Fleming. I followed your instructions to the dot and brought both Emma and Madeline here.”
Thomas praised him, “Excellent job! Now, I have another task for you. Get rid of Madeline and keep her way till the next morning at the very least.”
Desmond knew what Thomas was scheming.
Carefully, he asked, “Um... Mr. Fleming, this isn't quite appropriate...”
Thomas started showing his temper. “What's inappropriate about that? Do as I say or I'll make sure you have no means to make a living here.”
Desmond had no choice but to comply with a sigh.
Upon hanging up the call, he adjusted his emotions and went to Madeline. “Madeline, please come with me to the car. I've got a gift for Divine Doctor, and I need your help to carry it.”
“Oh, okay,” Madeline answered.
Emma rose to her feet too. “I'll follow you guys.”
Demond declined with a gesture, “No need. Just the two of us are fine.”
“Both you and my mom are getting old and can't get around easily. I'm still young. Just leave any physical work to me,” Emma tried to justify herself.
