The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 298

The NASCAR race was scheduled for 9 pm, so they had plenty of time to stroll around the local market near North Peak

“Vivienne, you’ve got to try this!”

Kala was fully decked out. She was wearing a wide–brimmed hat, dark sunglasses, and a mask that covered most of her face

Even though she was practically incognito she made no attempt to blend in. It was almost as if she were begging to be recognized.

Vivienne accepted the skewer that Kala offered as her eyes wandered around their surroundings.

“The NASCAR races at North Peak were held sporadically. We’re pretty lucky this time I heard Hurricane is also participating in this race. It’s going to be exciting!”

Kala casually shared her knowledge while they strolled. “Hurricane is a well known daredevil in the racing world. He’s known for his high speed and dangerous tactics. He tends to stick close to his opponents, and if you’re not careful, he can easily force you to crash.”

Being a big fan of car racing Kala was pretty familiar with the scene

She had watched several of Hurricanes races. Each one was more thrilling than the last, so they never failed to keep her on the edge of her seat

Vivienne responded with indifference

They continued to chat and eat, and as they reached the south end of the market, they bumped into a familiar face.

Caught off guard, Cari glanced at Vivienne, who was standing next to Kala, and couldn’t help but show his annoyance

Seeing his silence Kala warned him “You should be at home at this hour, not running around. Our mom will have your hide if she finds out!”
