I Became His Sweetheart by Bright Eyes

Chapter 290 Claiming Credit

Nelson was the main organizer, yet he didn’t understand the basic requirements of a mountain race.

With this in mind, Melanie had to summarize the key points that she felt he would be able to understand or at least care about.

“Have you considered the fact that the bikers will be racing on mountain roads, and that if it were to start raining in the next two hours, a mudslide might occur that might put the bikers‘ lives in danger? If anything were to happen, would you and your men be able to drive in from the base camp to rescue the bikers in time?”

Reason finally returned to Mr. Hans as he pondered over Melanie’s words. The risk she described did exist on Mount Coloss.

This was the first mission Johnson Corporation tasked him with. He had to do a good job and claim credit for it. He couldn’t allow anything to go wrong under his watch.

Nelson’s eyes narrowed as he waved his assistant over.

“Announce to everyone that there might be rain in two hours‘ time. Shorten the race by two hours! Make them start and end as fast as possible!”

“Yes, Mr. Hans!”

His subordinate was just about to leave to inform everyone about his instructions, when Melanie yelled at him.

“What nonsense!”

Melanie grabbed hold of the assistant, and said furiously to Nelson. “The race has already started, and the weather just took a sharp turn for the worse! How dare you cut short the race just like this? That’s a fatal

mistake!”

“Are you saying that you know better than I do?”

Nelson hated people insinuating that he was an ignorant country bumpkin. He waved his assistant away, and instructed, “Hurry up and announce the change! If this woman dares to breathe another word, chase her away!”

Five minutes later, Melanie and the team she brought were chased out of the base camp.

“Melanie? Were you chased out by them as well?”
