Edgar’s Relentless Pursue for The Love of His Life novel Chapter 47

Chapter 47

Chapter 47 A New Start

Jean and Ben went to the parking lot. As the car door opened, a strong scent permeated Jean’s nose. It was a fruity perfume fragrance, one that would be used by young women. Jean blanked for a moment before entering the car.

“If she finds fault with you again, you can tell me right away. I’ll help you out.” Ben seemed peeved.

“It’s alright. I’ll just avoid her the next time.” Jean put on her seatbelt. They happened to be meeting up with Sonny for a discussion about the next competition and decided to go together.

Ben glanced at her. He opened his mouth to speak but hesitated.

With a foot on the accelerator, they headed west.

As they stopped at an intersection, a figure at the side of the road waved toward them.

It was a young teenage girl. She clutched a designer handbag. It was obvious that her family was well off. She kept staring at Ben.

Jean realized the situation.

When Jean called Ben, he came in a short time. He must have been nearby, plus he wouldn’t have gone to the shopping mall on his own.

“Should I just hail a taxi?” Jean asked.

Holding the steering wheel, he muttered, “It’s fine. It’s just some family stuff.”

Before Jean could speak, the girl was by their car.

Ben furrowed his eyebrows as he rolled down the car window. “This is the middle of the road. It’s dangerous.”

“I know. I just wanted to say hello. The driver will be here for me soon.”

She smiled brightly like the sun at midday and waved at Jean. “Jean, I hope you will all win again in the next competition. Good luck!”

She left smiling before Ben could reprimand her.

As the traffic light turned green, he frowned. “That little kid.”

Jean smiled wryly and shook her head. She looked out the window without any more words.

They managed to win first place in Goblet of Flames this time around. Dark Horse was in the spotlight for the first time in the year.

But Goblet of Flames, Thunderbolt Cup, and Arid Cup were famous racing competitions in the country. If they could win all the competitions, the racing crew’s record would be significantly improved.

Dark Horse may even enter the international competition without a hitch.

Sonny gathered the crew to improve the teamwork between the members. “I plan to have a closed training in the mountains next Monday. Does anyone have any objections?”

The drivers needed to train their physical fitness while the rest of the crew would need to improve their concentration and teamwork with the drivers as their focus.

“I’m not going.”

Jean had only agreed to work with the crew verbally the whole time. She just needed to be Ben’s co- driver in the competition.

Ben felt that it would be a shame if she didn’t join them. He pulled Jean. “The crew will pay for it. You don’t need to worry about the money.”

She shook her head. “It’s not about the money. I have a job now. If it wasn’t for the competition, I wouldn’t have been able to come.”

“You’ve found a job?” Ben was more surprised than she was.

She nodded, and Ben pulled her away from the others.

“Where’s the work? When will you start?” he asked anxiously.

Jean smiled. “Why are you more excited than I am? But you’ll definitely be moved if you know what company it is. Listen well. I’m working at MON & Co. as an intern.”

His eyebrow twitched. “No way! How did you manage to land a job there?”

“I’m not telling you. I’m starting tomorrow. They will reveal the details of the job then.”
