Chapter 28
Helen found comfort in Taylor's understanding. She put away her phone and dove back into the sea of problems.
She gradually discovered the joy of tackling difficult questions.
Meanwhile, Chandler's mood hit rock bottom after being rejected.
His assistant reported cautiously, "Mr. Newton, the invitation was declined."
Chandler stopped what he was doing. His brow furrowed deeply as he recalled the scene at the racetrack.
The woman's graceful figure and confident demeanor lingered in his mind.
He had been searching for her ever since. But it was as if she had vanished without a trace.
She remained indifferent despite his willingness to pay a fortune for a rematch. But her indifference only intensified Chandler's interest in her.
"Increase the offer to fifty million. We must find her."
"Yes, Mr. Newton." The assistant wiped his forehead and quietly left.
That left Chandler alone in the spacious office. He looked out the window in thought.
After a moment, he opened a drawer and took out a CD. Then, he inserted it into the computer.
The screen displayed a racing video from an international race in Furine three years ago. A racer from Choloot named Sutton had won and made international headlines.
Since then, Chandler had been intrigued by Sutton, especially her 360-degree drift technique.
But after the international race, Sutton seemed to disappear.
Despite his efforts, Chandler found no trace of her until last week.
The woman's appearance rekindled memories of Sutton.
Could it be her?
A deep look crossed Chandler's eyes as he watched the screen.
Sutton executed a perfect 360-degree drift and stopped the car smoothly. The door opened, and she stepped out with a slight smile which captivated Chandler.
Just one glance felt like an eternity.
Chandler vowed to find her, no matter what it took.
...
Taylor was shocked when the offer was raised to fifty million.
"Are you sure? Fifty million?" Taylor asked for confirmation.
Upon getting a positive response, Taylor was stunned.
But as he remembered Helen's words, he declined again.
"Sorry, but no. She's been too busy recently."
"It's okay, Mr. Xander. If it's about the price, we can negotiate again. We're willing to pay any amount to make this happen."
Taylor found it hard to stay calm after seeing such a response. The idea of spending such an amount for a friendly race was astounding.
Taylor tapped his fingers on the table and pondered. He decided not to shut the door entirely and to discuss it with Helen later. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
After all, the offer was too tempting to ignore outright.
