Chapter 837: Just a fluke

"Isn’t that nice?" Moose raised a hand over his brows, checking where the golf ball reached. He whistled as the corner of his mouth curled, sliding his eyes to the other person in their small group.
"I guess it’s a win," he said, making Axel narrow his eyes. "Lucky me!"

His remark elicited words of praise for the most popular man on the board. They clapped and laughed while Moose accepted all praises with a wide smile.

Axel glanced at Moose’s hand and smiled. Turning to the members of the board, his smile stretched.
"Since Mr. M is skipping the next round, let’s see who’s the second best after him?" he joked, earning a chuckle from the older gentlemen. His remark also fueled their determination to determine the second-best in the group.
