61 Dinner 3 (1/2)

”Why are you so eager to finish at and hang his call? I haven't spoken to you for a month and this how you pay me for all the worries that you've caused me?”

Nickel was in the middle of an unexpected video conference from his former supervisor in Montana. Despite the time difference Vernon, his former manager used his sleeping time to call and ask what the hell is happening to him.

”Vernon, I'm fine. You see I'm all fine!” Nickel showed his torso to him and flexes his biceps to indicate that his stronger than before. ”This body can still beat your ass up.” He added.

Vernon on the other line laugh out loud. He remembered that time when they were celebrating and drink all night. He suddenly asked Nickel for an arm wrestling but the poor Vernon underestimated the strength that his little Nickel had.

*flashback*

”Asshole come here!” Vernon called the newly hired Nickel. Nickel was a tall and a bit skinny fresh graduate that time. Like a typical nerdy but with a face of an idol.

Nickel walked slowly with his head down and reached Vernon's table. Vernon was a notorious bully to newly hired male employees. He liked to challenge them with arm wrestling. Although new hires were already oriented by the old hires regarding Vernon's practice, it was only Nickel who didn't show any fear of him.

Nickel sat down in front of Vernon and extended his arm to him, without Vernon saying his infamous words, ”I can be your servant for a month only if you will against me. Deal?”

Seeing Nickel offering his arm to his made his laugh out loud. Other customers in that restaurant looked that their table and observe why he is laughing.

”So I guess you already knew about this? Okay let's get it on.”

Vernon and Nickel positioned themselves. While one of Vernon's colleague serves as a referee to them.

”After my count.”

”One.”

”Two.”

”Three.”

Usually, when Vernon challenged a strong one, he can last after three minutes of a tug of war of strength while ten seconds to those with lesser ability to beat him.

Before he challenged Nickel, he bet with his friends that he can beat him after two minutes.

After the referee said 'three', the two players exert their strength and fought with each other.
