According to Nathans condition, if Zoe lost, it would just be another year of defeat for the team.
If she won, Black Horse was able to defend the title, and get a new superb racer.
And for at least five years, Black Horse would not have to worry about its situation.
After five years, new blood and fresh talents would naturally fill the vacancy, so it did not matter if Natalia was staying or not.
Needless to say, the older, the wiser!
What Nathan proposed directly blocked Zoe’s way back.
Nonetheless, since Natalia had the guts to propose the bet in the first place, why would she flinch?
She smiled and reached out her hand. “Okay, it’s a deal!”
“Deal!’
As they high-fived each other in the mid-air, the bet was set.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Half an hour later, the final round was about to start.
Racers from the three teams made their way to the racetrack one after another. However, when everyone saw a new female face in Black Horse’s racing suit instead of Nathan, they were startled.
“Who is she?’
“Why is she wearing the suit of the Black Horse Team?”
“Did the Black Horse change their racer?’
Charlie was slightly stunned when he recognized Natalia.
He furrowed immediately after.
Zoe approached him and waved her hand with a smile. “Charlie, long time no see! How are you?”
Having studied together for three years, Charlie naturally knew Zoe.
Not only did he know her, but he also knew that she was that woman’s best friend.
Charlie frowned and looked around him, then he asked with a deep voice, “Why are you here?”
Zoe shrugged, and said with an innocent expression. “To race, of course!”
Charlie face immediately sank.
Not far away, Victoria noticedZoe too.
Her eyes widened in disbelief and she hurriedly trotted over through the crowd and ran toward Natalia.
“Zoe, what are you doing? Stop fooling around, and come back with me quickly!”
Victoria was so anxious that she shrank from behind and tried to pull Natalia back.
When Charlie saw Victoria, he recognized her at once, although she was wearing a hat and mask and hiding behind Jing Ning, he recognized her at once.
His already cold and sullen handsome face instantly turned colder.
Zoe secretly tugged Victoria while she looked at Charlie calmly.
“Why? Are you surprised to see me, Senior Charlie? You’re not afraid to compete with me, are you?”
Charlie sneered, turned around and walked
away.
“Mr. Charlie Peck, where are you going? Are we not going to compete with me?”
Charlie replied coldly, “She’s not from Black Horse. Since Nathan doesn’t have the guts to take part, this round becomes invalid.”
“What?”
Everyone else was baffled.
Zoe frowned but said loudly, “Charlie, who told you that I’m not a Black Horse member? Can’t 1 join it at the last minute? On the other hand, aren’t you afraid of being embarrassed if word about you running away from a competition spreads out?”
Charlie halted.
He turned to cast a cold look at Zoe.
Zoe continued in a hurry, “How about we make a bet? If I lose today, Black Horse will quit
the race and will never participate in any future rallies in the country’ but if I win…”
She paused and suddenly yanked Victoria toward the front.
Following that, she smiled with her eyes squinted. “You can have a meal with my bestie here. What do you think?”
The moment these words came out, there was laughter and whistling all around.
Victoria’s face blushed right away.
She lowered her head and tried to cover her face with her cap as she uttered, “Natalia, I’m not going to dine with him. Stop it, and let’s go!”
Zoe gritted her teeth and whispered, “Can you be more mature? Having a chance to have a meal together is better than always being a backdrop among a bunch of fans. If there happens to be a spark of love between you, your long-cherished wish will be achieved! Victoria the beauty!”
Victoria’s face changed.
Her face turned vaguely pale when a thought crossed her mind.
Behind them, members from the Black Horse felt nonchalant when they heard that they might have to withdraw from the tournament from now on..
Someone stepped forward and tried to stop Natalia, but Nathan blocked him.
Nathan said as he looked at Natalia’s back and said in a deep voice, “1 trust her; I believe she won’t joke about the future of the whole team.”
The team members had to hold down the dissatisfaction in their hearts and retreated.
With that, the other members could only hold back while they suppressed their dissatisfaction.
On the other hand, Charlie took a quick look at Victoria after he heard Zoe’s suggestion.
His eyebrows made him look indifferent, and he gave off a feeling of contempt as he spoke, “You want to have dinner with me?”
Victoria trembled gently.
Zoe did not notice Victoria’s unusual behavior. She encouraged her best friend while she tugged her arm, “Victoria, this is a crucial moment, don’t be a wimp!”
Only then did Victoria finally raise her head.
She stared at the man in front of her.
His dark blue race suit complemented his tall figure, lean legs, and wild eyebrows, and it emitted a cold and domineering feeling.
Victoria pursed her lips.
It took her a while, but in the end, she still had
the courage to stand out and said loudly. “So what if it is? Do you dare to compete with me or not?”
Although she had plucked up her courage, she stammered because she lacked confidence and was nervous.
Charlie reacted like he had heard some funny joke.
He sneered suddenly and glanced over Victoria mockingly, and then he walked toward his car, holding his helmet in his hand.
This meant that he agreed to the bet.
The people around them jeered.
Even though Victoria wore a hat and a mask, based on her eyes and her great figure, it was not difficult to imagine that the face under the mask must be beautiful.
On the racetrack, it was always a war of hormones.
Women were like good race cars, and they were targets for men to conquer.
Victoria held onto Natalia’s hand tightly, trembling badly due to tension.
When the man walked past her, a light and low and cold voice came from overhead.
“You’ll never have this chance again!”
Victoria’s face became as white as a sheet of paper.
Due to the cheers and loud noise in the venue, and the fact that Charlie lowered his voice deliberately, Victoria was the only one who heard him.
Seeing that her face was a little off, Zoe asked with concern, “What’s wrong with you? Is everything okay?”
Victoria shook her head.
“I-I’m fine. Natalia, you’ve never raced before, is it really okay??”
She was concerned.
Zoe patted her shoulder with a smile.
“Don’t worry, just wait for the candlelight dinner with your Mr. Perfect!”
After saying that, with a confident toss of her hair, Zoe put her helmet on and headed for her race car.
Once the racers took their positions, the whistle was blown, and the race started.
Three cars rushed out at the same time, but Charlie was soon ranked first for the time being.
Zoe followed steadily behind Charlie, and she went past a few obstacles smoothly while she constantly stayed closely behind him.
The two of them quickly grew far ahead of the racer in third place, but when Charlie noticed through the rearview mirror the car behind him, he could not help but frown.
The third place was soon left behind by the two, Charlie saw the car behind through the rearview mirror, frowning.
