I didn’t dare look at Samson’s eyes again. I used the noise of the award ceremony as an excuse and said, “Mr. Ortega, the award ceremony is starting. I want to see the trophy up close, so I won’t keep you.”

I couldn’t hide my eagerness. I just wanted this big problem gone.

Samson stared at me for a moment. He said nothing and just nodded. “Go ahead, Ms. Airel.”

When he turned away, he glanced at Theo. The scrutiny in that look sent another chill down my spine.

Only after Samson disappeared into the crowd did I finally relax and sit down.

Theo leaned over, confused. “What’s your deal with him? Why are you so scared of him? You pretended to look ugly in the Eclipse Pack, and now you’re wearing a veil in the Mooncrest Pack? Your disguise skills are maxed out.”

“Long story. I can’t explain it right now.” I rubbed my throbbing temples and looked at Joel on the stage.

He was holding up the trophy and cheering, his smile full of youthful pride. But Samson’s words made me uneasy. “Just remember this: don’t call me by my real name around him. Please do me this favor.”

Theo still looked confused, but seeing how serious I was, he patted his chest. “Fine, I get it. Secret, right? If you’re in trouble, just call me.”

He winked at me. “Like blocking unwanted admirers. I’m good at that.”

His joke made me smile, easing the tight knot in my heart.

After sitting for a while, I felt a heavy, uncomfortable feeling in my lower stomach. I stood up and said, “I’m going to the restroom. Wait here and don’t wander off.” Theo made an “OK” sign, already distracted again by the interviews below the stage.

The hallway was crowded. I followed the signs toward the restroom. As soon as I turned a corner, I heard a familiar voice-Samson.

My heart jumped. I instinctively hid behind a nearby pillar, holding my breath.

“You did well today. That last corner was a bit too aggressive. You need to be steadier,” Samson said with quiet approval. He sounded more relaxed, no longer probing like before.

“Thank you for your advice, Mr. Ortega!” That was Joel’s voice, excited but humble. “Your drifting tips really helped. I felt way better today than I did in training. I’ll do my best in the final tomorrow. I won’t let you down!”

Samson patted his shoulder, his voice full of trust. “Don’t stress yourself out. Get some good rest and maintain your condition.”

Footsteps faded. Joel must have left. I leaned against the cold pillar, my mind buzzing. Joel was Samson’s

man!

No wonder Samson seemed calm when Joel won, but there was a knowing look hidden in his eyes.

Alice suddenly got it. “So he’s been training race drivers in secret. That’s his style-doing everything quietly, but always having it all planned out.”

I thought back to my time at the Eclipse Pack, when I’d once noticed racing models in Samson’s study. I remembered the gentle tone he used when he talked about a “friend who liked racing.” Turns out, racing wasn’t just a hobby to him; he was serious about it.

That realization left me with mixed feelings-surprised, but also not surprised.

I didn’t want to stay, so I slipped toward another exit while the hallway was quiet.
