NovelEndChapter 441 They were about to appear on a show together, and at such a crucial time, offending the investors was the last thing anyone wanted. Despite their reluctance, they began a grueling ten thousand meter run.
Sophie gave Ricardo a cold glance. She was aware that he was deliberately targeting her, perhaps to get at Julian as well.
Such tactics were utterly repulsive.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJulian deliberately stayed behind Sophie, catching up to whisper, "Slow down. Tisn't the issue. Keeping your breath steady is what's important." Before Sophie could respond, Julian added, "Meethere at 8:30 tonight." Then, he sprinted ahead.
Shirley clenched her fists as she witnessed the scene.
An hour in, they had barely managed to complete the run.
The guys were still okay, but the girls were clearly struggling.
Even in the winter breeze, the girls were drenched in sweat after the run. Their makeup was smeared, but they were unable to wipe it off without making a mess, which was incredibly uncomfortable.
Ricardo sat across them, calm and collected, watching everyone panting. He said, "Continue with leapfrog jumps for ten laps." "What?" Jean was dumbfounded.
Leapfrog jumps for ten laps under these circumstances? Was this not a death sentence? Sophie frowned at Ricardo's current demeanor.
"Right, Ms. Sophie, you sprained your ankle running those laps, which must have been tough for you. So please, sit next toand help supervise everyone's training." Ricardo's words were loaded with implication.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSophie had already run the laps, so she obviously had not sprained her ankle and deliberately chose not to dance earlier.
By bringing this up, Ricardo clearly indicated that everyone was suffering because of Sophie.
"Sophie, because you refuse to dance, Mr. Ricardo is punishing us!" "It's just a dance. It's not like you're losing anything. Why won't you dance!" "What are you trying to prove, acting all high and mighty? Aren't you also entertaining sponsors every night?" The girls were getting agitated.
Before Sophie could speak, Julian coldly ordered, "What are the guys waiting for? Mr. Ricardo said leapfrog jumps for ten laps! Get ready!" With Julian's command, none of the guys hesitated.
Shirley saw the guys starting and had no choice but to follow Julian's lead. "Girls, get ready for leapfrog jumps, En: ten laps!" Sophie walked straight up to Ricardo and asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"Nothing much. I'm just not in a good mood." Ricarike to take casually repliedm "When I'm feeling down, I it out on others. If you can improve my mood, maybe I'll let them stop."
It was getting late, and after such an intense day of training everyone was at risk of falling sick, especially in the winter cold. If all the trainees were to fall ill with a new show on the horizon, the consequences would be dire. Sophie rolled up her sleeves and said, "It's just a dance, right? Mr. Ricardo, care to joinfor a dance?" A secretary nearby scolded coldly, "And who do you think you are to ask Mr. Ricardo to dance with you?" Ricardo raised a hand to silence him, then stood up and asked, "What dance will we do?"
