Chapter 30 - Sports Week (Part 1)

Angeline clapped her hands as David managed to get the ball into the ring. David turned to Angeline, and they both smiled as their eyes met.

Today the Stockholm Corporation holds a sports week for all employees. David told Lucy, his secretary to rent the biggest sports arena in town for the whole week.

Almost all types of sports are competed by hiring professional judges in each field. Starting from sports that use physics such as basketball, soccer, volleyball and so on, to branches that rely on the brain such as chess.

There is even an E-Sport[1] branch that competes in online games that are currently trending, such as PUBG, FreeFire, Mobile Legend and so on. From computers to handheld cellphones.

David only refuses matches in the military branch, such as shooting at targets or airsoft guns. He didn't want the Stockholm Corporation sports week to turn into a battlefield that could force the devil's soul on David's battlefield to rise up and rampage.

Stockholm Corporation is a multi-national company with thousands of employees, if not counted by employees who are overseas. With employees dominated by the younger generation, making the sports week which is held every year-end in the summer really comes alive.

And David always participates in at least one championship every year, making all his employees even more proud of their superiors. Plus every year David participates in a different sport, making his subordinates even more impressed with him.

Even though David's adonis face and athletic body were enough to make anyone who saw it amazed. They do not think that a big boss of a company can master various types of sports.

Of course, with his years of experience on the battlefield that always risked his life, David's reflexes were far above that of the average person. The mental state that formed in the midst of being hit by bullets from various kinds of firearms also made David's way of thinking very different from most people.

But don't think that David's position as the big boss of the company will affect the course of the game, because David has issued some pretty terrible threats before. That is, he will fire anyone who succumbs to him during the match if they think about his position in the company.

Even last year David fired twenty-seven people because he was caught giving in while competing with David.

Initially, David wanted to choose a mixed martial arts championship, but he chose it three years ago. Moreover, he won first place. Surely it will make employees who choose mixed martial arts become insecure. It is possible that they will give up before competing.

So David chose basketball.

No special team was formed to be David's team mate. Even David deliberately entered the team that finished last in basketball last year.

In other words, David got into the worst team ever.

Teeeeettttt! ...

An alarm sounded the end of the third quarter[2] as David made a Buzzer Beater[3] which counted as a three-point shot, putting his team thirty-seven points ahead. The 46-11 score for David's team left their opponents looking hopeless.

However, when David decided to rest after playing three full quarters, the opposing team had hope again.

How come?

Of the total forty-six points his team has currently scored, David has contributed forty-five points. Even several times David did blocks[4] and rebounds[5] to help defend his team.

One-man show, that's what David showed in three of the four quarters of this match.

David chose to be replaced by another player and took the break by sitting next to Angeline.

The faces of David and Angeline were plastered on the large monitor screen above the basketball court thanks to a camera shining on them.

Almost all women who saw screaming hysterically when they saw the big screen. Not because David and Angeline were romantic, but because David took off his shirt and sat next to Angeline wearing only shoes, pants and an arm-sleeve[6] on the right hand that covered her wrist to a little above her elbow.

Muscles that are not the size of a large muscle but are covered with tendons look so hard and seductive. Plus a few untidy stitch marks scattered almost all over his upper body made David look more masculine.

Angeline handed David the small towel she had been holding.

David held Angeline's hand, "Wanna see something interesting?"

Angeline frowned, "What's that?"

"Wipe the sweat on my face." said David with a smile.

Angeline still didn't understand what David meant by saying that. The girl put her hand close to David's face and wiped the sweat from there. With the camera still on them, everyone in the sports arena screamed more hysterically than before.

That shout which was dominated by a female voice really took Angeline by surprise.

The girl just understood what David was saying. But what happened next made the atmosphere even more rowdy.

Just when David pulled Angeline's head closer, suddenly and landed a kiss on Angeline's forehead, Angeline opened her eyes very wide. Of course it made thousands of people scream hysterically.

Both women who are jealous of Angeline, and men who are jealous of David because he can get a wife as beautiful as Angeline.

The two of them are like a pair of beauty packages created to envy anyone who looks. The injustice of the destiny giver was really clear when they looked at David and Angeline.

A reddish tinge was clearly etched on Angeline's cheeks, and David's initiative didn't end there.

David took Angeline into his arms. Angeline thinks David did it to help her hide her embarrassment. Even though David did it to make the atmosphere even more crowded.

Yep, David just wants to brag about his beautiful wife.

Although Angeline didn't realize that David was playing with her.

This is one of the drawbacks of being the wife of a David Stockholm.
