Elizabeth Liang stood at where the line was drawn and looked at the hole before her. She felt completely overwhelmed by a wave of utter helplessness and misery.
Sir Wu looked like a serious old man, but was no less worse than James Lu when it came to messing people up!
She's always been useless at sports since she was a kid. She's never long jumped over one meter during P.E. classes. Elizabeth looked at the hole that was five meters away and felt like the distance between them was as far as the distance between heaven and hell.
She nervously gripped the club that James gave her. Although she tried her best to replicate what James had taught her just now, she still felt like she was holding it wrong.
Samuel Lee nervously clenched his fists as big drops of sweat dripped down his face.
Jesus on a boat, she was holding way more than just the fate of a ball!
Elizabeth anxiously pursed her lips and couldn't help but look over at James.
She could tell that he was nervous when he handed the club to her, although it didn't show on his face. Because she accidentally brushed against his hand, and she could feel that it was a little cold and sweaty. But now?
When James saw Elizabeth looking at him, he even gave her a smile that made her feel at ease, like the warm sunshine in spring. He said gently, "Don't be nervous, don't worry about anything, just do it however you want to, okay?"
Elizabeth nodded blankly and asked again worriedly, "I guess... I'll really swing then?"
"Sure."
Elizabeth closed her eyes with resignation, took a deep breath, and finally raised the golf club—
Swoosh—
The big and spacious golf course was eerily quiet.
Everyone present was stunned for a moment.
A gentle wind brushed past her ears.
The wind was very quiet, but to Elizabeth, it sounded even more terrifying than a hurricane. The wind not only blew on her face, but it also blew on her weak and fragile heart, the gentle breeze turned into a heavy blow—
The ball, the little round ball, was very pitifully sitting right where it was!
And what flew out was just a piece of turf behind the ball that she had managed to scrape up with her club!
"Elizabeth, it's okay that you didn't hit the ball, but the turf... is really expensive." Josephine Liang covered her mouth, but her words were filled with searing mockery.
Theodore Chao couldn't stifle his giggle either. Elizabeth didn't have time to care about them at all. She looked over at James and saw the look of agony on Samuel's face.
But James smiled calmly at her. "It's okay. I can afford it even if you scrape up every inch of this turf."
Josephine's smile disappeared when she heard James, then she glared at Elizabeth.
Samuel was secretly delighted and gave his boss a standing ovation in his mind — His boss could be the most charming man in the world when he felt like it!
"Hey, just think of it as a game, go on." James continued.
Elizabeth pursed her lips and was determined to do her best this time. Although James didn't blame her, she didn't want to be his burden.
She set her pose and strongly gripped the club. She won't let anything go wrong with this shot!
The club was raised high in the air, then it fell back with great force—
