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 offic 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 i 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 favo "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."Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
"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

glance to mine and smiled. "My daughter loves you very much, and since she is rooting for you, I am rooting for you as well."
I felt tears slowly creep around the edges of my eyes as I turned to Sadie whose face had turned red in a blush. "You did that for me?"
Sadie shrugged. "Anything for my bestie."
Immediately, I dropped the glass of juice against the sofa and pulled her into a hug. I also used that opportunity to wipe my tears before we pulled apart. "Thank you." I said to her, overwhelmed with gratitude. Then I turned to Sadie's Dad. "Thank you, Mr. Cresswell." "Please, call me Robert."
I smiled and nodded in understanding, then behind him, I noticed two people outside the window, peeping in. When they saw me, they ran back and then before I knew it, more of my schoolmates came to the window and were waving and peeping.
"Oh shit." Sadie exclaimed, before rushing to the door to lock it and also draw the blinds. Then she turned around breathlessly and smiled. "Fans. You've got fans but we need to take care of you and get you ready for the next event."
Mr. Cresswell nodded to the man, who had mysteriously appeared from the bathroom without my knowledge. "Make sure no one else comes in without Miss Ashmores' express permission. Got it?"
The man nodded before unlocking the door and going outside of it. Before he closed it, I was able to see that the hallway had become filled with people, trying to get a look in and as much as I appreciated that, I didn't like it.
It made me somewhat upset that I wouldn't get to have some alone time with Theon and probably continue from where we left off. Immediately, my face burned as I realized I was having hoe-
ish thoughts again so I decided it was best that these. people were here. They'd distract me from having to think about him and that's what I need right now.
A soft sigh escaped my lips as the lady rotated the ankle Konan clawed and applied some pressure points in the right places!
"How are you feeling, Miss Ashmore?" Robert asked.
"I feel so much better." I replied, raising my thumbs up.
"I'm glad about that." He bent his head in a nod. "I shall take my leave now but in case you need anything, talk to Sadie." He said and turned to leave but stopped and turned around again, "Miss Ashmore." "Yeah?" I replied, focused on the foot rub.
"I want you to know that I placed a bet on you winning."
I raised my head in shock.
"Don't let me down." And with that said, he left.
