“What are they discussing? Can’t catch a single word.

“Usually, racers would have left the track by now, not stand there chatting.

Savoring a sip of freshly-served champagne, Declan continued, “Mr.

Eliana inquired, “Is Mr.

His gaze returned to the intriguing drama unfolding in the arena, as if seeking a distraction from the unease settling within him.
The pre-race interaction between Hannah and Bryson had been a lingering irritant for Declan.
As he was about to refill his glass, his hand froze, eyes widening in disbelief.
“No deal,” Hannah declared, her tone unyielding.
“I detest being manipulated.

The man looked like he was going to say something, but Hannah had already snatched up her mask.
Her face, radiant despite a light sheen of sweat, beamed with unapologetic confidence.

She tossed the mask aside, gripped her helmet, and extended her hand toward the man.
“Your skills aren’t bad, though.

”
The man stayed quiet, eyeing her open palm, and then burst into laughter.
Hannah’s brow furrowed.
She had braced herself for an insult, but instead, he took off his mask.
