Chapter 165 My Car’s Malfunctioning

Elise’s ranking quickly increased to the top three of her group. As it stood at the current moment, Alexander was ahead of her.

Since this was the preliminary stage where groups competed, she only needed to be in the top three to qualify for the final round. Thus, she maintained her steady speed and had no thoughts of racing toward the finishing line. As she drove, she listened to the hum of the car engine where everything seemed normal and the fear in her heart was finally lifted.

As the car crossed the finishing line, cheers erupted around her once again. In the end, she came in first for the group stage and he followed behind her at a close second.

Her gaze slightly darkened as she sat inside the car. Then, she alighted from the vehicle and upon noticing the on-site car mechanics, she waved her hand at them. “Please help me take a look to see whether the car is malfunctioning.”

Although she wasn’t speaking loudly, the surrounding employees had heard her and began to look at her one by one.

 

The lead mechanic quickly responded and started to inspect Elise’s car.

“Is something wrong with your car, Sue?”

 

“There can’t be anything wrong with it, can there? You came in first! You’re going to enter the final round. What are you going to do if something has happened to the car?”

The crowd chattered, but Elise only pursed her lips silently and waited for the lead mechanic’s confirmation after he was done with the inspection. “There’s nothing wrong with this car.”

It was such a simple sentence, yet it was enough to cause her heart to sink. If the car wasn’t in trouble, did that mean the other party hadn’t made their move yet?

If so, the final event…

“I see. Thank you,” she replied before closing the car door.

After that, Alexander made his way over to her while simpering, “Your keys, Sue.”

Now that he was facing Sue, he no longer had his usual attitude and instead gave off the appearance of a humble fan. His kind of uncharacteristic behavior had immensely surprised her.

Nonetheless, Elise didn’t reach out to accept the car keys; she only coughed lightly as she intentionally altered her voice before saying, “I still intend to use your car for the final round. Is that okay?”

While Alexander had no idea why Sue fancied his car so much, he was only all too willing to concede to her request. “Of course! You can have it for as long you want.”

“Thank you,” she replied as she turned to leave.

Then, he quickly gave chase. “Your return to the racetrack has left me surprised, Sue. I wonder if I may have the honor of inviting you out to dinner.”

Upon hearing his invitation, Elise frowned. She never thought that he’d chase after her only to ask that question. Alas, if she were to have dinner with him, he would see that Sue was actually Elise since she only wore a cap and mask today.

Thus, she rejected him off the bat. “I’m sorry, Mr. Griffith, but I have to leave right away as I’m busy.”

This time, Alexander was the one to be surprised. Sue actually knows my name.

As he was caught up with that thought, she went farther away. He couldn’t help letting out a small smile while watching her silhouette disappear into the distance. It was after many years that he finally had the chance not only to meet her but to converse with her in person. To him, it was a lucky day indeed.

After leaving the race, a brooding Elise sat in the car. She had clearly heard the other party expressing that they intended to make their move today. Yet, nothing had happened at all. That thought itself made her frown deeply, but the sound of her cell phone ringing in her pocket interrupted her at that moment.

“Coming to the bar, H?”

“Yup,” she answered. “Give me 10 minutes.”

Julius understood what she meant. “Alright. I’ll wait for you here then.”
