The match between Invincible United and Barka FC culminated in a 3-1 victory for the latter. Riano emerged from the locker room, now donning his football track suit and prepared to leave. He smiled charmingly at the gathering of supporters, graciously autographing posters and fan shirts while also engaging in brief conversations with some of them. However, as Riano’s gaze briefly deviated, he spotted a lady seemingly detached from the frenzied crowd. A passing thought crossed his mind:

“Why are the most intriguing individuals always the least interested in me when I have so many admirers?”

With a gentle and considerate approach, Riano navigated his way through the crowd, inching closer to the madame, intending to make an introduction or at least secure her phone number so that they could meet in a quieter setting.
