PRICELESS

Kiara and the twins stayed in Germany until Monday. She had gon with Riley to grandpa Nux's house to get permission from him to get Riley to spend the night with them in their hotel room but Riley didn't want to do that. Kiara understood that he needed time to process all she had told him.

He still met up with them on Monday to spend time with them. Eventually he accompanied them to the airport, he had also met up with Kim who helped him set up his phone. Installing social media apps, important contacts and mobile games. Riley appreciated her for doing that. Kiara had asked Riley to fly to England during Christmas to meet his grandparents and Riley agreed. She was happy at that.

The plane eventually left for England, leaving behind a storm. That picture of Kiara hugging Riley taken by a customer was circulating online. Kiara's PR team were losing their minds over it and the story behind it. Riley would look over at twitter (X) and saw that on the trending topics, his mother's name was at the top.

-Tuesday-

Riley was on his way to the training complex, grandpa Nux driving him there humming a song while Riley was on his phone. "Riley, you must really find an agent. Soon management will want to talk to you about your future." Grandpa Nux suddenly said. Riley momentarily paused, looking over at grandpa Nux. "Samantha Van Wyk. Grandpa please look that person up for me when you have time." Riley said and grandpa Nux nodded his head.

Riley got to the training complex and went over to the locker room meeting up with a couple of his teammates who looked at him in a new light. Riley quickly changed his to his training kit and joined the others who were already on the pitch. August who saw Riley juggling the ball went over to him, "Hey man" he greeted warmly. Riley looked over at him and nodded. August didn't mind it. "So my aunt was a fan of your mom back in the days." August continued and Riley stared at him and chuckled a bit.

Riley chatted with August for a while until Coach Mike came by and training started. Riley was extra focused today and everyone could sense it. The players a little flustered that the youngest of them all was working so hard, pushed themselves too and Coach Mike was loving it.

Training came to an end and Mike called Riley to his office. Riley followed his coach and when they got there they found a middle aged man who introduced himself as the Sporting Director of Dortmund, Sebastian Kehl. Riley could already guess what this man was here for. Grandpa Nux had hinted it in the car.

"Nice to finally meet you Riley. I've heard a lot of things about you and I just saw your training session. What I heard is not exaggerated at all." Sebastian said with a smile. "Im flattered sir." Riley said humbly. Coach Mike motioned for them to sit. Sebastian didn't like to waste time so he got to it, "Riley, like I've said, you are a good player. The club has recognised that and they would like to keep you in the club for as long as they could. We promise to fast track you to the first team and we would like to show our sincerity with this contract offer." Sebastian said as he took out papers from his bag. Riley grabbed the papers and proceeded to read. The contract read that:

Riley would get a 4 year contract that would pay him €15,000 per week (€720,000 per year), too say the minimum.

Riley read the contract, if this was before he would've went crazy to see that amount of money but after being around his mother for 2 whole days he was numb to these kinds of figures. Sebastian was studying Riley's face to try and gauge him but Riley controlled his emotions perfectly.

"Of course this is just a draft. You would need an agent to read it and add your own and maybe we can find something to agree on." Sebastian said. Riley nodded and asked if he could leave, Mike nodded and told him to take the draft contact with him.

"€15,000? Really?" Mike asked after Riley left. Sebastian chuckled and answered, "Well, he is only 14 years old and his mother is a millionaire businesswoman. Why would he even need money?" Sebastian said. Mike shook his head, "Whatever it is. If you are not sincere with the contract offer he will leave. In my opinion €15,000 is way too low for him." Mike spoke his mind. Sebastian frowned, "And how much do you think he is worth?"

Mike leaned back on his chair and stared at Sebastian, "PRICELESS."

Riley didn't know what Mike and Sebastian were talking about, even if he did he wouldn't care. They had a game tomorrow in the UYL and his focus was on it, 'ohh and finding an agent. I hope grandpa Nux found that Samantha lady.' He thought.

Riley decided to sit in the parking lot and wait for grandpa Nux to come pick him up. He felt bad about making the old man do this and wanted to call an Uber but he also didn't want to. He spent his time on social media watching videos, not long after he settled down. Grandpa Nux's car pulled up and he got up to go.
