"Hello,  rk,"   Dave said after picking up the call and cing the phone against his ear.


    "Hey, Dave, what''s up?" rk asked as his voice resounded through the phone''s speaker.


    "I''m okay."


    "Okay," rk said. "I heard about what happened to your father, sorry I didn''t call earlier. Is he okay?"


    "Yeah, we''re justing from the hospital now," Dave said.


    "Okay, that''s good news."


    "Yeah, is that why you called?"


    "Yeah, it''s part of the reason why I called but it''s not the main reason."


    "So, what''s the main reason?" Dave asked.


    "Um....I just finished talking with the director of footy wears and he wants to meet up with you on Wednesday at Lospeno so that we can properly talk about things."


    "Wednesday''s a good meeting choice given the fact the seasones to an end on Tuesday."


    "Yeah," rk said. "You''re supposed to be there before noon, I''ll text you the addresster and let you know if anything changes before the day."


    "Yeah," Dave said.


    "Tell Emma I said hi."


    "Hi, rk," Emma said but he wasn''t going to hear her as the call had already ended.


    "So, you''re going to Lospeno on Wednesday." She said after taking a turn into the less busy road that led to their house.


    "Yeah." He muttered.


    "Lospeno''s a very beautiful city, do you know that?" She asked. "I''ve been there once with my dad, there were lots of beautiful ces to go and see, have you been to Lospeno before?"


    <That''s a very silly questioning from her>


    "Yeah, I''ve been to Lospeno before," Dave said.


    "Really?"


    "Yeah, to y a match against Lospeno FC."


    "Of course, I know you''ve been to Lospeno to y a match." She said, rolling her eyes. "I was asking if you''ve ever been  there for any other reason, like a visit or any other reason."


    "No," Dave said, shaking his head. " I don''t move around that much."


    "Yeah, you don''t." She muttered before returning her attention to the road to see that they were close to the house now.


    After driving a little closer, she stopped right in front of the path leading to the garage.


    "Do you want to grab something or should I keep moving?" She asked, turning her gaze to Dave.


    "No," Dave said, shaking his head.


    "Okay." She said before zooming off down the road.

    Nothing was said between the two as they slowly ate their meal sitting opposite each other, a long spell of silence which Emma found quite ufortable and was about to break the silence when Dave sunk his hand into his pocket and brought his phone which had just begun to vibrate.


    "Coach." He muttered after seeing the name M. Norman as the name of the caller.


    He was a bit hesitant before picking up the call and cing the phone against his ear.


    "Hello, coach."


    "Hey, Dave, how''re you doing?"


    "I''m okay," Dave replied. "Is there any problem?"


    "No, not at all, I just wanted to know if you would like to apany me to the press conference tomorrow evening ahead of the match against Lesica United," Norman said.


    "Press conference." The goalkeeper muttered.


    "Yeah."


    <I''m not sure but you may get a reward for your first press conference>


    "Okay." He said.


    "Is that a yes?"


    " Yeah."


    "Good, enjoy your day off," Norman said before ending the call.


    "Is this going to be your first press conference or you''ve been to one before?" Emma asked as soon as he turned his gaze to her.


    "It''s going to be my first." He replied.


    "That''s nice." She said, smiling at him.


    ''You said I was going to get a reward for it right?"


    <I said I wasn''t sure>


    ''What do you mean you''re not sure.''


    <Attend the conference first>


    ''I won''t be happy with you if I don''t get any rewards.''


    <Again, it''s the system''s job to give quests and rewards I am only a guide>


    ''Sometimes you make it hard for me to believe that.''

    It was nighttime now and the couple were getting ready to head to Ferran''s dinner party.


    Emma was sitting in front of the mirror in the room applying a little makeup to her face while Dave was sitting on the bed already dressed up.


    "How many of your teammates did he invite?" She asked.


    "I don''t know but he said Mateo, Merino, Adolf, Minino, and Pirlo were going to be there, these were the only ones he mentioned."


    "Okay, and those that are married or have girlfriends will be there with their spouses right?"


    "Yeah," Dave said with a nod.


    "Okay, I''m just making sure I won''t be the only female in thepany." She said before picking up her eye pencil.


    "I know," Dave said before getting up from the bed and making his way to her. "I know it''s going to take you an hour plus to be through with whatever you''re doing here so, I''m going to be downstairs." He said before kissing her on her cheek and turning to quickly make his way out of the room.


    He was putting on in ck trousers with a white long-sleeved shirt with a pair of ck canvas with white soles and he had a nice looking silver-colored watch around his left wrist.


    Just like he said, it had taken up to one hour before Emma began to make her way down the staircase wearing a short sleeveless gown, the gown wasn''t that short though as it went a little further down past her knees.


    She had a pair of ck heels to go with her dress and a little purse that had silver-colored chains attached to them so that she would be able to hang it on her shoulder.


    "Wow," Dave said, slowly getting up from the couch and making his way to her. "You look so pretty in that dress."


    "Thanks." She said with a little blush. "You look nice too."


    "If we were heading to Ferran''s ce by foot, this would be a serious problem." He said, looking at her from head to toe.


    "Dave, stop." She said before hitting him on his shoulder as her cheeks were slowly beginning to turn red.


    "Okay." He said before wrapping his arms around her and pulling her closer for a kiss.


    "So, are you driving or am I going to be the one to do it again?" She asked after slowly releasing herself from his grip.


    "No, I''ll drive." He said before turning his gaze to the bunch of keys lying on the table.


    Ferran''s house was a twenty minutes drive away from their own house so it took them approximately thirty minutes to get there because of some slight dys.


    "Is this the ce?" Emma asked with her gaze on therge ck gate which the car was parked in front of now.


    "ording to the address, yeah," Dave said before picking up his phone and dialing Ferran''s number. "Hey, Ferran, we''re here."


    As soon as he dropped his phone, the gate automatically opened up for them and Dave slowly drove his car into the ce.


    "Wooah," Emma said with an astonished look on her face.


    "I never knew Ferran was living in such luxury," Dave said with a stunned look on his face.


    The area was quiterge and was surrounded by a lot of lights that made it hard for anyone to tell that it was nighttime in there but that wasn''t the best part.


    The building up ahead was spherically shaped with a nice exterior ss design and besides the building were two swimming pools with a little path running through the middle.


    <Nice ce>
