But now they only had themselves to blame for all this.
They could have advanced step by step, but they insisted on reaching the heavens in a single stride by seeking Glenn Hutchinson. She would never have done such a thing before, but faced with such circumstances, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and endure.
Because, she would always gain something.
Winter was gradually approaching, daylight was also slowly getting pushed back, and Flossie Wright and Becca Reyes, carrying thirty kilograms of stone on their backs, were slowly running on the track.
As time slowly passed, their pace gradually slowed, until they were eventually running slower than walking.
Glenn Hutchinson casually sat on the stone steps, holding a timer to time both of them while also observing their running rhythm.
Running is a training method that can easily reveal one’s personality. For example, Flossie Wright was steady from the start. Her speed was astonishingly slow from beginning to end, without acknowledging the so-called sprinting stage, because she knew her physical fitness couldn’t bear it. Casually adjusting her speed posed a great difficulty for her, this was the most prudent measure for her.
At the start, Becca Reyes started off sprinting. But after running for a while and realizing her fitness issues, she began to slow down to adjust her stamina. Relatively speaking, she was quite restless. Thankfully she was quick to react, but as she had previously used up too much energy, she ended up reaching the finish line at almost the same time as Flossie Wright.
Seeing them fall to the ground after finishing their run, Glenn Hutchison did not rush over. Not until twenty past four did he put his watch away, then with his long, attractive legs, he walked over to the two of them lying on the ground, too lazy even to take off their backpacks.
"Not running anymore?"
Glenn Hutchinson squatted beside the two of them, his gentle and slow voice, as if bewitched, drilled into their ears, causing them both to instantly open their eyes.
Flossie Wright looked up and met those deep, bottomless eyes, a faint displeasure flashing across her face, but she quickly hid it, as if no emotion had passed at all.
Suddenly, a broad, sturdy hand reached out in front of her. Glenn Hutchinson looked at her with a hint of a smile, not hiding the provocative meaning in his eyes.
Thinking back to the unsuccessful sneak attack last time, Flossie Wright rolled her eyes resentfully, placed her hand directly on his, and stood up with his help.
However, as soon as she had steadied herself, the hand holding hers suddenly pulled forward a bit, causing her body to lean forward. He suddenly leaned in close to her ear and whispered softly, "You don’t need to carry this anymore."
Then, he let go of her hand and stepped back casually.
Everything was as it should be, as if nothing had happened at all.
Flossie Wright frowned slightly, remembering that he was the one who said to increase the weight, and was also the one who said to release the load...
She really wanted to punch him!
Becca Reyes, who was standing up from the side, wasn’t paying any attention to their situation. Naturally, she didn’t know about their little interaction and whispering, and casually glanced at them. She then asked Glenn Hutchison directly, "Captain Hutchinson, may we leave now?"
Glenn Hutchinson nodded slightly, "Meet at the sports ground at eight o’clock."
"Ah?" Becca Reyes was unexpectedly a bit dazed. She was only clinging to Glenn Hutchison for training during this time period, but she hadn’t expected this unexpected boon. However, she didn’t think too much about it and instinctively nodded, "Guaranteed to be on time!"
Flossie Wright was really tired and didn’t pay too much attention to this matter. She adjusted the hat on her head and casually waved at Glenn Hutchison, unabashedly instructing him, "Please take care of the backpack."
