Chapter 312

Three days after Christmas, Stephanie was dragged to the club for shooting practice.

“If I’m not mistaken, there’s a ‘Closed sign hanging outside.” She was annoyed. The entire club was empty, so why on earth did they insist on calling her here for shooting practice?

The burly, muscular head coach from Aurorastra smiled helplessly. “My wife complained all morning that I didn’t take her shopping. Shopping with women for clothes and bags is really exhausting. Now I’m working overtime. This is what you call a blessing in disguise.”

“Is your work arranged just now?” Stephanie became wary. “Who told you to work overtime? Are you working for Dominick?” She thought that scoundrel, Dominick was the big boss of this club.

The coach didn’t say a word. His smile only widened. Although he seemed easygoing, he was very efficient. Stephanie was taken to the shooting range, where holding and aiming the gun bade her arms sore after just a few actions.

Sweating profusely, she gulped down three bottles of mineral water, panting heavily. “When will this end…

She was exhausted physically and mentally. The coach handed her another gun and said, “I heard you’ve trained in karate. We’ll head to the boxing ring afterward.”

Stephanie almost swore out loud. She immediately resented the coach, and her pettiness showed when she reached the boxing ring. She attacked fiercely before he even put on his gloves, landing real blows.

He probably didn’t expect such a powerful punch from her seemingly frail frame and was thrown to the ground within two seconds, looking a bit disheveled. After that, they sparred seriously, and the coach couldn’t treat her as an ordinary woman anymore, or he’d end up in the hospital.
