Chloe's heart started racing like a horse out of the gate. She looked towards the parked car at the entrance.
The sheer opulence of the car made her immediately think of the man inside. He was as elegant and noble as his ride.
Pushing down her excitement, she bent down to pick up a box but found Nate had already beaten her to it. He stepped aside, courteously letting Chloe lead the way.
As she approached the car, the door swung open before Nate could even reach for the handle.
Chloe ducked into the car, leaving the onlookers dumbstruck. Through the gap, they could see the man inside lightly patting Chloe's thigh, his cufflink glittering with expensive diamonds.
The door closed, leaving the crowd outside in the dark. Nate slipped into the car, closed the umbrella, and they were off in a jiffy.
Everything was so smooth and natural. Not a hair out of place.
However, most people at the entrance were still trying to process what had just happened.
"No wonder she didn't want to ride with Mr. Olson."
"She didn't even think his car was good enough."
"Whose car was that just now? Who was the man inside? Did you see that diamond cufflink? Must be worth a fortune!"

Inside the car, Damon took Chloe's hand, looking at her and said,
"Congrats."
Chloe flashed a light smile, "Thanks, the international competition is a month away. I can take a breath now."
Damon kept quiet for a while then slowly asked, "You could've beaten Keira, why didn't you?"
Chloe sighed, leaned her head against Damon's shoulder, and chuckled, "Don't worry. I’m not going soft. I’m just playing the long game! Keira said she would embarrass me in front of the world. I’ll give her a taste of her own medicine. Besides, if I had knocked her down this time, then her past plagiarism couldn't be exposed!"
