Halsey rushed to Dwight s side trying to stop the game Dwight don t go along with Gilbert s game This could hurt your body If you really need money I can
Dwight glanced at her and Halsey Immediately fell silent
She hadn t meant to say that it was just that she didn t want him to hurt himself for the sake of money
Dwight looked at the foreman We can start now
The foreman began loading cement bags on to Dwight s shoulders one by one quickly reaching eight bags Then the foreman added a ninth and a tenth bag
Gilbert watched eagerly clapping his hands Wow I didn t expect you to push yourself so hard for money Here s
one,two…!
Gilbert tossed two hundred dollars on to the ground

The foreman continued stacking bags eleven twelve
“Three,fourhundred.”
Gilbert kept tossing money on to the ground
With twelve bags now on Dwight s shoulders his face remained expressionless but the sweat on his forehead dripped relentlessly and his uniform was soaked through
Halsey wanted to stop it but no matter what she said it felt wrong She could only watch helplessly
The foreman visibly uncomfortable spoke up Dwight if you can t take anymore just say so
But Dwight didn tutt era word
The foreman added more bags thirteen fourteen
Five hundred six hundred
Gilbert threw six hundred dollars on to the ground
Halsey looked at the scene knowing that Dwight was a person with a lot of pride But with fourteen bags on his shoulders it was clear that the weight was bending his spine
She turned to Gilbert her voice firm Enough Gilbert Stop
At that moment a melodious ring tone broke the tension it was Dwight s phone

group.
