He wasn't against Flora per se; it was just that their chances were slim to begin with, and adding Flora to the mix didn’t seem to tip the scales in their favor. Would it just end up being a contest of who embarrasses themselves more?
In the racing world, people often assumed women were at a disadvantage, and since they hadn’t seen Flora race, they naturally figured her driving would be nothing special.
“Mr. Adrian, we think it might not be great for Miss Flora to compete. Maybe have a chat with her and suggest she sits this one out? There's still time to change the lineup if we act fast.”
The others chimed in with their concerns. If Miss Flora entered and didn’t do well, it would be awkward for everyone. Plus, there were plenty of folks eager to see them stumble.
“Everyone, zip it!” Adrian was so mad he could almost see red, but just then, he noticed Kruz and Flora approaching.
“Sis, you’re here!” He rushed over to them, shooting a look at the group of young men, signaling them to watch their words.
Flora gave a slight nod in response.
“Miss Flora!” Despite their doubts about her racing, the young men from the Reyes team greeted her with respect.
“What are you all standing around for? Why hasn’t practice started yet?” Flora eyed Adrian. It was already past ten and no one was on the track?
Adrian felt a twinge of anxiety under her gaze and quickly said, “We’ll get started right away!”
Normally, they’d have several laps under their belts by now, but today was anything but ordinary!
“Alright, let’s get moving! Training time!” He rounded up the young men, then suddenly remembered something and rubbed his hands together. “Sis, why don’t you join us?”
He wanted everyone to see just how awesome his sister was, so they’d stop underestimating her.
Flora nodded casually. Getting behind the wheel sounded good. It’d give her a chance to scope things out.
“I want to ride with Flora!” Kruz volunteered eagerly.
