Chapter 45:Boss Olivia (1/2)
Time slowly passed by, as Felix and Olivia were almost about to finish their 5 km exercise. Felix trained with utmost focus, looking only straight ahead. Meanwhile, Olivia kept stealing quick glances at him.
If that was only it, Felix wouldn't be bothered, but every time she peeked at him, she opened her mouth trying to say something. However, in the end, she closed it shut and continue to run in silence.
Annoyed yet somewhat piqued, he removed his air pods and asked, ”Out with it. What do you want to say?”
Olivia stumbled on the treadmill almost falling flat on her face after being found out. He chuckled at this sight, making her cheeks flush red.
”Thank you, Felix, I appreciate your promise.” She avoided eye contact with him, as she shyly buried her head downward.
”Don't mention it anymore.”
He waved his hand casually and wore his air pods back on, focusing on the last 500 meters left.
Olivia smiled and stopped peeking at him.
.....
4 minutes later...
Felix cleaned his body from sweat while drinking a small bottle of water. After finishing it half of it, he closed the lid and walked on the treadmill while stretching his shoulders, preparing for the next exercise.
After a while, Olivia finished as well. She turned off the treadmill and stood on the gym floor with her hands on her knees, breathing ruggedly.
It was not just her, but almost everyone was either training hard while breathing roughly with sweaty armpits and back, or lying on the ground unmoving.
If it was not for their chest that was rising and falling periodically, the rest would have assumed they had died.
A clear contrast to Felix who dropped into the floor after few minutes break, and began doing his required 50 pushups without making a sound.
