Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After an entire week of intermittent rains, the sky was finally clear on Monday morning. For England, which was almost entering winter, this kind of weather was extremely worthy of being cherished. This was even more so for Nottingham City, where the weather was always erratic. One never knew when the sky above his head would become overcast out of nowhere, followed by the sudden splattering of raindrops falling from the sky.
Beads of water hung onto the tree leaves by the side of the road, reflecting the morning sunlight. They were like diamonds that had been left behind in the bushes, and that was all the proof needed that it had rained all through the night.
Tang En stood outside the Chairman's office within the compound of the club's training grounds, which was next to the first team's training field. Des Walker's shouting could be heard continuously, and the sounds of the whistles did not stop at all. It was very likely that Collymore did not come down to the field yet again, and the fact that he was hit the day before, gave him all the more reason to openly give himself a break.
Edward had found such a useless person to be manager. One could hardly fathom what he was thinking when he did that.
Tang En saw his own messy hair in the window. When he woke up in the morning, he only casually dressed himself up and left the house. Half of his shirt and his collar hung out, while the other half was tucked in. The only good thing was that his collar and his buttons were not done wrongly. He flipped over his collar, and used his hands to tidy his hair while facing the window. Tang En discovered that there were a few strands of hair that continued to stand upright obstinately.
He saw beads of water glistening on a plant and wiped his hands across it to wet them. Then, he continued to tidy his hair. Finally, he was ready.
Looking at his reflection in the window, Tang En smiled contentedly. Almost one year had passed, and he had become completely accustomed to this body and its looks. After looking at his reflection in the mirror every day, he finally found his looks more pleasing.
After all that, Tang En turned and entered the building. As soon as he entered, he saw a young lady who swung her hips when she walked, and even though she wore a normal green business suit, she was extremely sexy. The lady quickly walked past Tang En, and Tang En's line of sight followed her. That curly red hair of hers appeared to be like a ball of flames, and it bounced slightly as she walked, varying according to the magnitude of her footsteps.
Since when did the club have al female employee like her? It was at that moment that Tang En realized that he had been away from the core of this club for far too long, and it was gradually becoming more and more unfamiliar to him.
The lady who swung her hips when she walked, suddenly stopped in her tracks before turning around and looking at Tang En. This action gave Tang En a scare, causing him to forget to stop staring.
The lady did not become angry and revealed a professional smile to Tang En. ”Are you Mr. Tony Twain?”
Tang En nodded his head blankly.
”Are you here to find Mr. Doughty?”
Tang En nodded his head again, and his field of vision stopped at her chest, once again forgetting to not stare. The depths of those mountains that towered high into the clouds, was the final vanishing point of his line of sight.
”Really sorry. Mr. Doughty is currently not in his office.”
”Oh… Huh?” Tang En finally returned back to his normal self and shifted his line of sight back to the woman's face. Her looks were above average, and her figure was not bad. He then replied, ”Where did he go?”
The woman lightly shook her head, and that ball of flames jumped up again. ”Mr. Doughty did not tell me. May I ask if you have arranged an appointment with him prior to this?”
Tang En shook his head and said, ”No, I merely… suddenly remembered that I have to find him. He didn't say when he would be back?”
”No, Sir. Would you like to wait in Mr. Doughty's office for him?”
”Alright, I'll wait awhile then.” Tang En thought that since Kerslake was with the youth team to oversee things, there was nothing much for him to worry about regarding training.
”This way please, Mr. Twain.” The lady returned to lead the way, and, therefore, Tang En could once again admire the lady's walking style.
The lady brought Tang En inside Doughty's office, and placed a cup of water next to him before taking her leave. However, Tang En stopped her.
”This… Erm, Miss. I haven't seen you in the past. Are you new here?”
The lady smiled and nodded her head. ”Yes, Mr. Twain. I am Mr. Doughty's personal secretary, Barbara Lucy. You may call me Barbara.”
”Ms. Barbara, you are not British, are you?” Tang En asked, as Lucy spoke with a fluent America accent.
”Yes, Sir. I am from Liverpool, but I lived in America when I went there to study.”
”Oh.”
”Mr. Twain, do you have anything else you want to ask?”
”Erm, I guess not. Uh, no more.”
”Then I'll take my leave. Goodbye, Mr. Twain.” Barbara Lucy politely bade farewell to Tang En, before turning around and leaving the room.
