Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 45

The girl generously gave each of them a small flag with the name of Charlie Peck's team on it.

Afterward, she even reminded Victoria, “For the sake that we are all fans of Charlie, let me kindly remind you. You don’t need to cover yourself like this here, as it is easy to be mistaken for a spy sent by the opposing team.”

“But don't worry, I believe you. You look familiar at a glance, so I am sure you are not an undercover!”

Natalia could clearly sense Victoria stiffened for moment.

Victoria smiled embarrassedly. “Is that so? Then thank you for your trust!”

Natalia really couldn't hold back her laughter and hurriedly changed the topic, "How much longer we have to wait before the game starts?"

“8 p.m.” The girl looked at her watch, "It's almost the time."

As soon as she said it, a loud whistle was heard coming from across the street.

Following that, thunderous cheers were heard as racers from the eight teams came out!

Victoria went crazy all of a sudden!

“Ahhhhhh…He's out! He's so so so hot and handsome! Natalia, did you see him? In that blue car; his eyes are so deep, and his skin is so delicate and fair. I haven't seen him for a while, but he seems to have become more attractive! Ooooh, he’s really cool and stylish! Oh!”

The racers wore helmets sitting in their respective driver's seat. Victoria glanced at them, but was only greeted with blindingly reflecting lights. How could she see whether Charlie was handsome or not?

Feeling speechless, Natalia tugged Victoria’s sleeve, whispered, “Victoria, calm down!”

“I can’t!”

“Don't forget your identity.”

“Woo, an actress needs love too!”

Natalia was speechless.

She really could not stand her best friend’s nymphomania, so she gritted her teeth and whispered, “No matter what, you're the eldest young lady from the Kaur family, and the No.1 beauty in the entertainment industry. You've chased after him for six years. Now you're waving a flag and screaming with a bunch of fans. Aren't you ashamed of yourselves?”

Victoria turned to glare at Natalia.

“You always manage to say the wrong thing!”

As Natalia smiled triumphantly, her gaze past Charlie's team and landed on a black racing car on the opposite side.

The small flags and banners over there had Nathan Hales name on them.

When Natalia looked for information related to Nathan on the internet last night, she inadvertently stumbled upon Nathan's other identity, a top-notch car racer in Black Horse Racing Team.

Although Nathan was already a well-known director in the country, he normally kept a low profile; hence few people knew his hidden identity.

Besides, the car-racing circle had always been relatively closed. People who did not pay attention to it would not follow its news, so only a bunch of people knew it.

Natalia lowered her head slightly to ponder, and then told Victoria that she was going to the restroom.

On the racing track, the whistle sounded, indicating that the race had begun.

The 4-kilometer-long rallycross was divided into a qualifying round and the finals, making a total of three rounds!

Among the eight teams, only the four teams that successfully passed the qualification round had the chance to enter the final.

The final consisted of two rounds. The forced ranking system would be adopted. In the final round, the racers would compete with each other and the first to reach the finishing line would be deemed the winner.

Prior to this, Charlie had been the champion for four consecutive years.

However, before Charlie, the championship had always belonged to Black Horse team.

This time, Nathan personally represented Black Horse team, so the morale of its members was greatly boosted, and they were determined to reclaim the title this time.

Soon, the qualifying round was over.

The Black Horse was not surprised to advance into the next round.

Together with Black Horse, Flying Eagle, with Charlie as its representative, and two other teams were qualified too.

The finale was about to begin.

In the Lounge, Nathan's teammates were helping him to relax when one of them suddenly came over and said, “Bro, there's someone outside looking for you.”

Nathan was surprised.

“Who?”

That person scratched his head, not knowing why his face blushed.

“I don't know, but she's quite pretty.”

Nathan was even more surprised.

“A female?”

“Yes.”

“Let her in!”

Natalia was led into the Lounge, and saw Nathan, who was sitting on a chair at a glance.

Compared to his appearance when he was a director, Nathan looked sharper at the moment. Even though he was in his forties, he looked as quick-witted as a hot-blooded teenage.

Natalia smiled, calmly walked up to him and extended her hand. “Director Hale, long time no see.”

“It's you?” Nathan was taken aback.

He knew Natalia.

Five years ago, at the entrance exam of the Royal College of Art, he had seen her work as an examiner at that time.

Nathan was amazed by her performance, only after Natalia was exposed for plagiarism, stealing her sister's work, and she was disqualified in the end.

In Nathan’s opinion, it was such a pity. There was nothing he could do because of the rules. Later on, he became busy with work, and didn’t pay attention to that matter.

He was not expecting to meet Natalia here.

After a brief moment, Nathan showed a polite smile and stood up to shake her hand.

Natalia smiled, “Director Hale, It's such an honor for me to meet you again.”

Nathan forced a smile.

“Did you come to see me today for something??”

“Don't worry, I'm not looking for you because of what happened five years ago. I indeed felt wronged, but the past is the past. Besides, no one wants to hold on to those boring old stuff, right?”

Nathan frowned slightly and was about to say something.

Natalia had already spoken in advance.

“I heard the Black Horse is fighting for first place this time?”

The moment she brought it up, everyone around her was instantly lifted.

Natalia successfully attracted Nathan’s attention too.

Nathan stared at Natalia and asked with a deep voice, “So what if that's the case?”

Natalia grinned.

“Director Hale, maybe it's not polite of me to say this, but it's true. Black Horse has a slim chance of winning the championship.”

Once these words came out, everyone's face had sunk.

Someone said angrily, "How can you say that when we haven't even competed yet?"

"That's right! I think you are deliberately come to pick a fight! Believe it or not, I can kick you out now!"

Natalia curled her lips, and remained composed as she looked around the crowd.

Next, she shared her analysis, “Director Hale's last competition was four years ago, when he lost to Charlie by 0.5 second. In the end, his lost his title as the car­ racing god, and he hasn't participated in any competition ever since.”

“Charlie has been the champion for four consecutive years, whereas Black Horse has been trying to reclaim the title. Director Hale has been practicing hard, and his speed has been reduced from 2 minutes and 3 seconds four years ago to 1 minute and 54 seconds.

“I have to say, this is indeed an astonishing achievement in the 4 km rally, but do you know Charlie’s result when he participated in a foreign competition last month?”

Nathan's face changed slightly.

Natalia smiled and said word for word, “1 minute and 48 seconds.”

Everyone in the room drew a cold breath.

Though it was only a 6-second difference, everyone knew how tough it was to close the gap.

At such a high level, almost everyone had unleashed their potential to the limit, and it was nearly impossible to advance further.

However, 1 minute and 48 seconds was such an incredible result!
