The room is echoing with people's laughing as they heard about Nicko's challenge. Nicko has been trying to shoot himself, that's in their mind. 

"Are you sure about your will?" Adrian asks with his bunch of pride. 

"Do you see I am joking?" Nicko replies. 

Josephine held her husband's arm so tight, it seems she disagree with his idea. This kind of thing looks childish to her. 

"Huh, Boys will be boys," she talks in silence. 

Uncertainty is shown on her beautiful face. Adrian Law is prominent from a reputable family. He is well known as a public figure and upper class society.

His popularity cannot be compared to Nicko, though he looks confident for now. His wife was heading down with fear. Nicko tries to rub her finger smoothly while he saw a change on her face. 

"It's Ok, Baby," He is trying to calm his wife. 

Josephine nods and tries to get calm. Even though she has many worries deep in her heart.

 

"So,  you are sure with your decision looser?" Adrian is mocking now. 

"Yes, I always act seriously."

"You such an idiot, Nicko. He asked because he wants to give you a chance to save your life from a humiliation!" Damian is shouting. 

Nicko kept calm and turned his face away. He is sick with snobby Adrian. 

"I will not be go backward. Yet, I am going to tell you to give up, otherwise you will be ashamed. Everyone here is knows how reputable Law's family are. If he is beaten by Nicko,  the one who has no surname it will be an awful totally,  isn't it?" Nicko is starting to mock on him and mess his mood up. 

"Hey Adrian, let's do this. I guess he is ready to humiliate himself,  he gets used to it," Damian says while Armando and Bryan laugh. 

"Alright,  but I will make it more fun and challenging.  Who lose is gonna lick the winner's shoes," Adrian is explaining. 

Nicko replays deal ghastly, and sees by all the Windsor. Almost all of them disagree with him. He worries that this unwanted son in law will disgrace them. 

"Nicko, are you out of your mind? Are you gonna humiliate us or what?" Howard is smearing at him,  but Nicko smile sinically to respond. 

"Hey parasite! Don't you think about Josephine's feelings if you loose? You can't afford her life but  now you disgrace her! " His mother in law is telling. 

Josephine tighten her hand to Nicko and lays her head on his shoulder. She whispers tenderly and asks him to stop gambling. 

"Honey, forget it. You don't have to respond to this wacky guy," she whispered. 

Nicko turns his body and starts to stare at his wife deeply. Pay attention to the perfection of beauty on a woman who has been staying with him for two years. "Honey, I don't care about what their thought of me. I just care about you. This snobby guy aroused my wife. I can't let anyone do this to my wife," This 1,8 m height is saying and smile. 

"But,—" Josephine stop saying, because her lips is locked by her handsome husband kiss. 

"Don't worry baby. Every man who has no politeness towards my wife will be punished, trust me," Nicko tries to calm her down. 

She has no idea how her husband's sight may keep her calm.  She has no idea, how her husband's sight may keep her calm. Ensure that her husband will not lose. 

"I believe in you."

"Hush! Too much drama. You don't have to spin the time out,  just tell us you give up,  and I would be happy to release you. Only if,—" Adrian glanced at the woman who hold Nicko's hand so tight. 

"Only if what, Adrian?" Nicko replays without any stale language. He knows, displace to his wife is arousing. 

"Hmm,  as long as you let me spend a night with your beautiful wife."

This dark brown hair guy clenched his hand tightly. Makes all the nerves shown clearer than it used to be.

Adrian's words have boiled his blood. 

Seems, he wants to punch on the parrot nose guy he is facing on. Maybe on his belly. Knowing somebody arouse and bad words about his wife is tearing him apart. 

                            ***

"Damn! Now, show us if you really know Mr.Thomas, the shop owner so well!" Nicko tells in command. 

"Never mind, if you are insisting. Just get ready to take all the humiliation on you!" Adrian says then push Mr.Thomas number and made a video call. 

By the Windsor as witness, this white man is asking about the signature golf stick. 

"Hello Mr. Thomas, are you busy?" Adrian is starting to ask. 

"No, I just talking to Mr.Laurance. He visited my store to give his sign on the Bogey Signature's golf stick." 

Adrian tells his purpose directly to Mr. Thomas. This arrogant man tries to confirm whether Nicko's story is right or not. 

"So, is that true Mitchel Lauren visited. We make a quiz with The Boogey signature golf stick set as a first prize to attract people," Mr. Thomas is explaining clearly.

Adrian  looks unsatisfied with Mr.Thomas answered. He tries to steer his camera phone on Josephine's husband. Asking if this guy won the first prize. As a result he has to face the bad experience once again as Mr.Thomas said yes to his question. 

Adrian's knee is getting weak.  He lost his pride on the Windsor. He cannot imagine himself licking on these looser shoes. 

Neither Adrian nor The Windsor were surprised. However, they prefer to stay silent and pay attention to Adrian's fate for now.

Adrian moves backward slowly, and tries to run away. He wont let himself get down on knee to Josephine's husband. Unfortunately, when he starts to run, somebody calls him. 

"Adrian," A soft voices is heard on him. 

Those voice is able to stop his step. He is surprised when he finds a beautiful creature walking elegantly to him.

"Josephine?"

"Where are you going, wait for me," She said in a spoil. Of course her act is tempting him. Make this guy come closer to Josephine. When she finds the time, she throws a bottle of soda on Adrian's head. 

"Are you trying to run away before cleaning my husband shoes with your tongue?" Josephine smears to him. 

Adrian stuttering trying to explain to her that he has an important thing to do. However, Josephine doesn't release him easily, she doesn't believe any of his words. 

This young lady keeps smearing on him. Asking to take all the consequences of his loss. 

"You wont release my husband if he is lost, don't you? For now,  you are lost so you know all the consequences, right!" 

"I wont, but,—" Adrian cannot go on with his sentences. He is trying so hard not to pee on his pant. 

"But,  what Mr. Law? Are you a coward, so you can't do that?" Nicko is asking too. 

Becuase of the pressure on him. Finally, Adrian took his shirt off and  gt on his knee,  cleaning Nicko's sneakers with his fancy white shirt. This snobby man is bow down and start licking on Nicko' apple. 

Not only Adrian is disgusting but also the Windsor. They seem to be ashamed by the man they thought could be the ideal son in law. 

                        ***

In the meantime at Sporty Win.

A man with a black suit, Russell's minion is standing. After. He hid down and pointed his gun at Mr. Thomas' bottom, as a threat for him to tell what Russell said.
