Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 168:

Sean was uncertain between this woman and Norah, wondering who possessed greater prowess in racing.

As Sean pondered, his gaze inadvertently caught the national emblem emblazoned on the woman’s attire. Cesland? This woman wasn’t from Otland?

“Are you from Cesland?” Sean couldn’t resist asking.

Sean’s voice, though somewhat muffled by the heavy helmet, carried an echo of familiarity that Norah picked up on.

With a nod, Norah confirmed, “Yes.”

Speaking with the accent of Cesland, Sean evoked a sense of warmth and familiarity in Norah.

Finding such a skilled racer in a foreign land seemed to be an act of fate.

Sean, resolved to keep his identity concealed beneath the helmet in the live broadcast arena, had no plans of revealing himself. Having expressed his admiration for the first-place racer’s talent, he intended to leave.

In Sean’s heart, Norah was the paramount concern. Even the chance of meeting with a skilled compatriot warranted no more than a brief acknowledgment.

“I’m off then,” Sean declared, subtly distancing himself from Norah. The mutual failure to recognize each other due to the helmets hung palpably in the air.
