Chapter 142
Astrid couldn’t help but chuckle at the girl’s despairing expression before her, reaching out to put á comforting hand on her shoulder. “What’s your name?” she asked.
“My name is Teresa. Take care. I’m leaving now,” Teresa answered. Her cheeks turned as red as an apple when Astrid touched her. She looked so adorable.
Barely able to look Astrid in the eye, Teresa brushed off Astrid’s hand and left the restaurant in a hurry.
Teresa felt like she was dreaming after her idol put an arm around her. She practically floated out of the restaurant.
Astrid left the restaurant and started walking towards her hotel along the river. Before she even reached her hotel, Rickon sent her a message on WhatsApp: “Star, I won’t be able to have lunch with you tomorrow. I’ve got some business.”
Astrid was curious about his message. “Got a date?” she asked.
“No, The Racer challenged me to a race tomorrow,” Rickon replied.
“The Racer? Which one?” Astrid asked.
“Who else could it be? It’s Fate, holder of the top speed record in Formula One,” Rickon explained.
Astrid’s eyes widened at the message, and she immediately called Rickon. As soon as he picked up, she blurted out, “Bro, take me with you! I wanna go!”
Rickon replied, “Star, you know how eccentric The Racer is. He only wants to meet me. But I can get his autograph for you.”
“Oh,” Astrid said, sounding a bit disappointed.
Hearing her disappointment, Rickon tried to cheer her up. “I’ll get it personalized for you.”
With that, Astrid was instantly cheered up. “Thanks, bro! Love ya!”
Astrid’s admiration for Fate started when she was fifteen.
One day after she had been beaten up by Sandra, Chad showed her a racing video on the way to school.
