The Masterpiece of Leaving：Prepared A Perfect Stand-In For Him novel Chapter 93

Robin casually tilted his head and tapped his ear. "I've already asked Fredrica to contact Drift King. If she can join the race, it will be interesting."

Thunder Strike and Drift King. Anyone with a little knowledge of racing would recognize these two names. They were absolute top-notch figures in the racing world. Thunder Strike was Robin himself, while Drift King's true identity remained unknown to the public.

Cathy didn't care much about whether Drift King would come or not. Despite spending years abroad, she never gave up on racing and achieved decent results. Although she might not be able to beat Robin, getting second place was still respectable. For a girl, getting second place meant being extraordinary.

Aubrey would surely be impressed if he saw it. She wanted to showcase her excellence in front of Aubrey.

"Aubrey, can you join us?" She coaxed Aubrey again.

Aubrey pursed his lips and looked at Cathy. "What about your eyes... Are they alright?"

"Eyes?" It suddenly dawned on Cathy that she had just checked her eyes and was told that her left eye had almost zero vision. Cold sweat silently emerged from her back. For a moment, she almost couldn't hold herself and stumbled.

But as a former celebrity who had experienced large-scale events, she quickly composed herself and said, "Don't worry, I'm used to it."

"Okay, then." Aubrey nodded.

He didn't want to get involved in the excitement, but considering all that Cathy had done for him, he couldn't refuse her this time. Seeing Aubrey agree, Cathy felt extremely happy. Aubrey put on a facade of being sweet and nice in front of Robin, showering her with pampering and indulgence. Her vanity was extremely pleased and content.

She tiptoed and leaned in to kiss his cheek, but Aubrey instinctively turned slightly, almost avoiding it. However, the avoidance wasn't very apparent, and it appeared to outsiders that Cathy had successfully kissed him.

Cathy stiffened, feeling embarrassed. But when she realized this, she quickly reined in her disappointment and put on a coquettish smile. Robin, who was standing by the side, saw all of this.

He pressed his lips together and used his thumb to subtly press against his lips, saying, "Cathy, some things lose value if you ask for them. If you ask for something and can't get it, there's no chance."

His words carried deep meaning. Cathy had wanted Aubrey to accompany her in the race, and if Aubrey truly loved her from the bottom of his heart, he wouldn't make her beg and would have agreed immediately. How could a man remain indifferent when he knew his beloved woman was participating in a dangerous activity? Avoiding her kiss in front of him seemed like he hadn't fully accepted her.

As a man, Robin understood the thoughts of other men very well. Cathy was clever, and as soon as she heard his words, she immediately understood. Her face turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She looked at Aubrey silently.

Aubrey furrowed his brows slightly and embraced Cathy with some remorse. He looked at Robin and said, "Don't apply those theories haphazardly to us." He straightforwardly protected himself, making Cathy feel better.

There was a moment of silence before Robin finally spoke and gave Cathy the time and location of the race. He hopped into his car and drove away, leaving nothing but silence in his wake.

Navier's perspective

On the other side, in the car, Fredrica continued to persuade me, "Come on, it's a rare opportunity. Besides, the company isn't that busy now, and you have nothing else to do."

I still had a calm expression, "Iris is waiting for me to get home, and it's been ages since I saw Dad. He must be worried."

"Don't worry," Fredrica said, waving her phone proudly. "I've called your dad. When he heard that you were out with me, he told me to take you out and have a good time. He probably doesn't want you to come back for a whole week!"

"As for Iris," she went on, "she asked me to film a video of your race to show her."

"Can't I accompany my girlfriend since I care about her?"

"Speaking of which, Cathy is quite outstanding; she is not only a celebrity but also skilled in racing."

Every single word of these scattered comments reached Cathy's ears intact. It was exactly what she wanted. She smiled gracefully and nodded politely to the crowd. Then, she approached Aubrey, coming closer to him.

Those who could participate in such activities were mostly from wealthy families. The upper class would be able to tell instantly that they had reunited, even without any verbal confirmation.

Robin stood far away, leaning against a car, looking lazy. He saw through Cathy's elegant goddess facade; he felt it was all just a pretense. Robin was different from Aubrey. He had been with many women, and as a result, he had developed a keen eye for detecting a woman's true nature. He found that Cathy acted like a goddess on the surface, but in reality, she was petty, vain, and materialistic. He found women like her more repulsive than those who openly talked about money.

Of course, he didn't bother meddling in other people's affairs.

Meanwhile, Cathy basked in the admiration and compliments from the crowd, hooking her arm with Aubrey's as they walked toward Robin. She knew that Robin didn't like her, but Aubrey was the ultimate decision-maker at Genesis Group and the leader of the younger generation of the Spencer family. He overshadowed Robin in every aspect. She plotted to manipulate Aubrey in order to silence Robin's critical voice and prevent him from judging her with bias later on.

With this in mind, she arrived in front of Robin and was about to speak when she saw him holding his phone and suddenly running away! His steps were fast and urgent, and a gust of wind brushed past her as he passed by. Throughout the whole process, Robin didn't even spare her a glance.

Cathy: "..."

Seeing Robin run, others also followed suit.

"What... just happened?" Cathy couldn't care less about Robin's indifference and pulled someone else to ask.
