CHAPTER 9: BRAZIL VS PARAGUAY

That day, Harry and the rest of the Brazilian players are training as usual to prepare themselves before facing Paraguay in the quarter-final of Copa America.

"So, is your sister coming to watch the quarter-final?" asked Paquetá on their way back to the hotel after they finished their training session.

"Yes, she will", said Harry.

"You're lucky to have such a caring sister", said Coutinho.

"I know. That's why I always try my best to make her happy", said Harry.

"That's good. So, did she ever said anything about your ex-girlfriend during your time in WWE?" asked Richarlison.

"Yes. She said that I shall try to talk to my ex-girlfriend. She told me that she's really regret for what she did to me 3 years ago", said Harry.

"Then, did you talk to her?" asked Paquetá.

"No. I told my sister I might talk to her later on but after Copa America. Of course, only because my sister told me to do so", said Harry.

"So, do you think there might be some chance for you and her to be back together?" asked Coutinho.

"I'll try to avoid it. Who knows if she might really change or not", said Harry.

"That's wise", said Richarlison.

"But there's nothing wrong for you to be back together with her though. I mean she's cute", said Paquetá. Harry just shrugged.

"Old man Vinny O'mac is here? Did he trying to get you back to WWE or something?" asked Paquetá.

"Why should I know? Maybe he's trying to look for a place for WWE event in Brazil", said Harry.

"Really? We don't have any great investor in pro wrestling though here in Brazil", said Coutinho.

"Well, let him be for now. Just focus in our match against Paraguay later on", said Alves.
