The Scent of 214

Chapter 214

Just as that thought crossed her spind, Brandon chuckled and said to Trevor, “I may not be the best, Trevor, but if you keep going easy on me, I won’t be pleased.”

Trevor smiled. “It’s been a while since my last game, so I’m a little out of touch.”

Brandon snickered, ignoring him.

He was quite capable, and it wasn’t until more than ten minutes later that he conceded defeat, losing by a single piece to Trevor.

Instead of being upset, Brandon’s curiosity was piqued–he was eager to see just how skilled Trevor truly was. Grinning, Trevor signaled him to begin.

Without hesitation, Brandon jumped straight into the next match.

Trevor played more aggressively this time. Brandon narrowed his eyes at him, but Trevor only responded smilingly, “Well played.”

To be honest, Brandon was delighted; it had been ages since he had lost a match this enjoyably.

Then, they went straight to the next round.

Before they began, Brandon voiced, “Give it your all! Don’t act like I’m some old–timer who can’t see what’s going on.

“You’ve got me all wrong, Mr. Keller Senior.”

Brandon brushed him off and concentrated on the match.

As expected, he lost again.

He put down his piece, got up, and said, “I concede—fair and square.”

Before Trevor could speak, Brandon added, “Any takers? I’m not saying you have to take him down, just make it less of a breeze for him.”
