Chapter 88

In the men’s washroom, Tyler splashed some cold water onto his face before staring at his own reflection in the mirror with reddened eyes. He knew he didn’t perform well during the competition, nor did he unleash his full

potential.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to do that, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do that as soon as he recalled the fact

that none of them came to watch him compete. That drained him of his enthusiasm, so he felt no passion

toward the competition.

“Liars! They broke their promise even though they told me they would come!” Tyler punched the marble wall beside the mirror as tears rolled in his eyes. Suddenly, his phone began ringing in his.pocket. After taking a deep breath, he suppressed his anger while retrieving his phone. “Hello?”

“Fuller, the third section of the match will be starting. Are you ready?” his teammate asked.

Tyler seemed a little down as he spoke. “Okay.

“Come back then.” With that, his teammate hung up.

Tyler tucked his phone away to walk out of the washroom. As soon as he got out of it, someone detained him.

“What’s occupying your mind?”

That voice! Tyler’s pupils contracted as he whirled around. When he saw the man who was leaning against the wall beside the washroom, he was overjoyed. “Toby! You’re finally here!” After Toby grunted in response, Tyler sniffled. His voice broke a little when he said, “When did you arrive? I thought you weren’t going to come.”

“I will come since I already promised to watch you compete. However, I got delayed because of a traffic jam. I’m sorry” Toby rubbed Tyler’s hair.

Taking a step back, Tyler complained, “I’m not a kid anymore. Don’t rub my hair.”

A smile tugged on Toby’s lips. “Alright, I won’t do that. However, I need you to tell me why you performed so

poorly. I know you can perform way better than that.”

“It’s all your fault.” Tyler huffed. “You didn’t watch me compete.”
