Charlie laughed and said, “It seems that even the United States cannot escape the power of personal connections. Those with connections can become the main force.”
Maria smiled and said, “The school team culture here has always been like this.”
After watching them play half the game, and after the coach blew the whistle and everyone had rested, Maria stood up and said to Charlie, “Young Master, let’s go.”
Charlie nodded, and as he stood up, his eyes subconsciously glanced around the arena.
By then, the players were already walking from the field towards the sidelines, and many of the girls watching started running towards different players. A girl of mixed North American and Asian descent with extraordinary looks and temperament walked smilingly towards the blonde-haired and blue-eyed number 10 quarterback, her long and slender legs swaying gracefully.
The quarterback was clearly dissatisfied with her performance, and his expression remained unpleasant, but his eyes lit up again when he saw the girl.
The girl handed the quarterback a clean towel, then unscrewed the sports drink bottle. After opening it, he didn’t rush to give it to her. Instead, he waited for the quarterback to wipe his sweat and return the towel before taking the towel and handing him the drink. This shows his meticulous attention.
Charlie had sharp hearing and focused his attention on the two of them, so he immediately heard their conversation.
At that time, the girl comforted him with fluent American English, smilingly saying, “Robert, you did a great job just now. If you can adjust your tactics earlier based on the situation on the field next time, you will definitely perform better than now.”
The quarterback nodded slightly, looked at the girl and smiled, “You’re right, I also think my biggest problem is that my tactical adjustments are not timely enough.”
The girl gently rubbed his back, comforting him, “It’s okay, you’ve done very well. You’re improving every day, and I’m sure it won’t be long before you completely dominate this game. I’ve always believed in you! You’re the best!”
At first, the quarterback looked at the girl in surprise, and his eyes lit up. However, he soon chuckled as he humbled himself and said, “Everyone says I’m the best, but I know most people say that because my last name is Rothschild. If it weren’t for that last name, I probably wouldn’t have any accomplishments that would be noticed at Stanford.”
Charlie frowned slightly.
Rothschilds?
Does this quarterback actually come from the Rothschild family? Why have I never heard Steve mention it?
While Charlie was contemplating, the very beautiful and tall girl smiled gently and said, “Robert, I see a million good qualities in you. The name Rothschild is not just one of those ten thousand.
“Is it true?” The quarterback was obviously surprised, but the disbelief in his eyes had been reduced from seven points to three, and the original three points of surprise had turned into seven.
Charlie sighed inwardly, “This girl is really great at this! She handles everything perfectly, she is very considerate, she is very thorough, and more importantly, she provides a lot of emotional value. She is clearly praising others, but she says it as if it is truly from the bottom of her heart.”
Seeing that Charlie was awake but showing no signs of leaving, his eyes still on the field, Maria asked him curiously, “Young Master, are you not satisfied yet? Why don’t I stay and watch with you for a while longer? They should still be practicing for another half of the match.”
Charlie’s brows furrowed even more.
He looked at the half-breed girl and said to Maria, “Miss Lin, I feel that something is wrong.”
“Is something wrong?” asked Maria in surprise, “Are you saying something is wrong, young master?”
Charlie stared at the half-breed girl, watching how she used her incredible emotional intelligence to cheer up the previously glum quarterback and make him beam with joy. He already had the answer in his mind.
His gaze slowly turned cold, but was tinged with the excitement of a hunter catching his prey. He pulled Maria back to sit down and asked her, “Miss Lin, did you see the girl next to the quarterback?”
Maria nodded and said with a smile, “I’ve seen her. She’s very beautiful and tall, at least 1.78 meters, right? Her proportions are perfect too. It’s hard not to notice a girl like that. Does she perhaps suit your aesthetic taste?”
“No.” Charlie shook his head coldly, a bitter sneer on his lips, and said in a low voice, “I guess he must be a scholar!”
