Chapter 86


    Anous returned to his job. He took the kids to school and then dropped Benjamin, Reba, and


    Veronica at the Powell’s gym. Jane and Donovan were already waiting there. Donovan didn’t look


    ashamed of what had happened at the birthday party, as he seemed to already put that behind him.


    “Why do we only get 1 hour?” Janeined before even entering the gym. “Donovan says we need


    at least two to three hours to properly train our body under supervision.” “This is like rehabilitating, you


    know,” replied Reba. “Some training without therapy.” After they entered, a tall and handsome ck


    man came to greet them. Both Reba and Jane went speechless for a second.


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


    “Haha,” Powellughed, putting his hands on his waist. “It’s great to meet friends from college, especially


    you, 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 it


    needs some more symmetry.” “Pfhh,” Donovan couldn’t believe this guy. “Whatever.” He walked past


    him. “I don’t need anybody’s help.” “Your wish,” Powell didn’t mind it. “My only obligation is to care for


    Ms. Reba, so..” when he looked at Reba 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 at


    least half your reputation.” Powell just smiled in return and then showed his skill with actions. He made


    Reba do low impact workouts that targeted her injured leg. After she warmed-up enough, he made


    her do slightly harder workouts using resistance bands and also making her stand on one leg. There


    wasn’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. Reba was mightily


    impressed with Powell and gave him a handshake at the end. “You definitely are worth paying 1000


    dors per hour.” “He didn’t magically cure you,” Benjamin said. “You are still going to feel the pain after


    your 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 every


    item and didn’t really do any productive work. “The guy who built an exctor for you, sis.” She looked at


    her sister,


    Reba frowned, (Brother… I thought you really cared for me, but you don’t do anything in that doesn’t


    benefit 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 person


    in at a time?”


    “Yes, Mr. Artur, but I had to make an exception because some of them were my college mates.” “Oh, 1


    see,” he said and nced at Reba. “It’s nice to meet you again, Ms. Reba.”


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


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


    “We’ll be back tomorrow, Powell,” Reba 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 if


    you ask me. Artur Bonsbell… He’s filthy rich. Mom and dad won’t object to it. I don’t like big guys, but


    maybe 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 away


    from my preferences, but I think my sister has a different taste.”


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


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


    “Hey, what are hell are you doing!” Reba yelled at her. “I’m doing what’s best for you,” Veronica yelled


    back. “What’s best for my sister!” “And that is?” Benjamin asked aloud, “What you want, or what your


    sister wants?”


    “O-Of course, it’s what my sister wants,” Veronica said and then went silent for a little while.“ I won’t


    ept you as my brother-inw. Even if the heavens copse, 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 your


    financial 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 Reba has starteding to your gym, right?”


    “Yes. She’s my collegemate.” “Oh, that’s great. I was about to tell you to install some cameras in the


    washroom 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 with


    less work.”


    Powell was really tempted by the offer. “Sorry, sir, but she’s a friend of mine. Ask me anything else, and I


    will 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 Reba? Did she see her in one of the


    competitions? That guy is the king of womanizers. I’m afraid Reba is going to have a hard time


    dealing 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 his


    gym.
