Chapter 110
RYN
Every contender had a sponsor and having a sponsor meant enjoying perks like refreshments, quick massages, new uniforms and people to attend to your every need in between the events. In my colleagues‘ cases, their sponsors were their friends and family.
In my case, well… I had no one.
Or so I thought.
After the strength training test, a man and a woman helped me out of my burden and with each arm around their shoulders, they helped me back into the building. I had assumed that they were good Samaritans who just wanted to help until they headed straight for the office and I wondered how they knew about it.
When I got to the office and they opened the door, I was stunned to see that the place had transformed a bit. My eyes found. Sadie hovering over the office table which had been cleared and now had a variety of food, fruits and drinks on it.
Then to my surprise, I found Mr. Cresswell, standing with a woman I had never seen before in the middle of the room. He had his phone to his ear, and when his lime green eyes landed on me, he smiled and raised a finger to let me know he’ll attend to me shortly.
With the help of the couple, I was able to sit on the sofa with a groan and immediately, the woman began to remove my boots while the man stepped into the bathroom. The lady standing near Mr. Cresswell smiled at me before bringing out an IVbag and preparing to hang it on a coat rack.
I looked at Sadie in confusion and found her approaching already.
“Hey.” Sadie said, with excitement in her demeanor as she rushed to me with a glass of orange juice in hand. She handed it to me with a straw and I narrowed my eyes at her, suspicious of her happy vibes.
“What’s going on?” I asked slowly and she smiled.
“Well. Where do I start?” She beamed, unlocking her phone and shoving it in my face. “I started a campaign for you on social media and it’s catching on! A lot of people are rooting for you to win! We do have some idiots who think otherwise but still, the numbers in your favor are huge.!
“Oh wow.” I gushed, smiling, then I looked at the two women catering to me. “Not to sound rude, but who are they?”
“Oh yes., This is Anita,” She pointed to the woman with the drip, “She’s a nurse and will give you a replenishing drip. It contains all the vitamins you lost and need for the next event. Your colleagues are probably getting theirs too.”
“Oh wow.”
“Jada,” She pointed to the woman who had already drawn a chair close to sit down and was now applying pressure to my feet, “is also here to help relieve stress and tension in your body.”
“What about the guy?” I asked, jerking my thumb to the bathroom where he disappeared.
“Oh that’s Tom. He’s just muscle and I think he went in to make sure you have a hot shower ready after Jada is done.”
I blinked, my brain fighting hard to process everything. Reaching in my pocket, I brought out my pendant and was glad I didn’t lose it and after Anita stuck the IV in my hand, I proceeded to wear it again. “Who is sponsoring all of this?”
“I am.”
I raised my head to see Mr. Cresswell slide his hands into his pockets, his eyes fixated on my pendant. Then he raised his
“Please, call me Robert.”
