Chapter 467 

They serted imma the spectaton mande jo me the poetice race begun. Menjamin and Mart were not crazy about razing and didn’t know much racers. After warching for a while and listening to the commentator’s awalysis, they learned that steer No M, Ella, along with water drivers, were the top contenders for the championship. More importantly, Elx was the only female racer in the competition 

Mamy spectators focused on Ella, especially after her rostresbasking werkervar elicited gaps from the crowd Benjamin exclaimed, Wow, that’s guts! So coll 

Knowing Benjamin didn’t know Ella was Tanys, Jeffery waited sabely Ells won both practice races. 

Benjamin excitedly asked, “Who is Ella? I want to meet her?” 

As soon as he spoke, Ellagot out of the cat and removed her helmet Seeing Tanya on the screen, Benjamin’s jaw dropped “That’s Tanya? This this.” 

His astonishment quickly turned to disappointment I. I was thinking about pursuing her, and your rell me she’s Chase’s girlfriend? Fine, I will never have a chance! He slumped, muttering, “So Chase is the real winner in life, right?” 

Tanya spotted them. She was surprised to see Matt here. Approaching them, she asked, ‘Wow, so good to see you guys here. I didn’t know you were interested in racing” 

Jeffery spoke first, “We weren’t, but we heard you mentioned it, so we decided to check it out.” He added, “You drove really well. First place in both races! Congratulations.” 

Tanya smiled. “Thank you.” 

Matt also offered congratulations. Tanya thanked him, then added, “It’s been a while, Mr. Adler. I thought I was mistaken when I saw you from a distance just now.” 

Matt responded, “I’m usually busy with work and don’t have much free time.” 

Tanya teased him.“I heard you were a pilot. Compared to your line of work, does our racing competition seem a bit dull?” 

“Racing has its own charm. I don’t think there’s a need for comparison. Besides, you drive exceptionally well, Miss Mond.” 

-Tanya laughed at the compliment. 

Jeffery asked, “Where’s Chase? Didn’t he come?” 

“He had something else to do, but he’ll definitely be there for the official race,” Tanya said. “When the day arrives, if you all are available, feel free to come and watch my race.” 

Jeffery replied, “If I have time, I’ll definitely be there.” He wanted to see her race, but since Chase would be there… 

Saturday morning, Ashley woke early. She opened her laptop to check model data. Soon, her phone rang. It was Gabriel. 

that she found promising. She’d allocated resources and was personally following its progress. 

A few days earlier, Gabriel had shared an id They’d been in frequent contact recently 

Assuming it was work–related, Ashley ered. But it wasn’t about work. He asked about fun places to visit in the city. 

Ashley said, “What I like might not be

they 

Don’t you have friends here? Go ask them.” 

Gabriel replied, “I’m not interested in the places they suggested.” Hearing her typing, he asked, “It’s the weekend. Still working?” 

Ashley said, “Yeah.” 

“Spending the whole weekend indoors? Not going anywhere?” 

Ashley’s eyes were still glued to the screen.“I’m taking 

m grandma to see a play tonight.” 

“What kind of play? Where?” 

“Opera. You probably wouldn’t like it.” 

Gabriel’s eyes darkened.“You can’t be sure. Guess what? I’ve been really interested in Chinese culture; I just haven’t had much opportunity to experience it.” 

Ashley reluctantly provided details. Gabriel immediately bought tickets online. Soon, a friend contacted him, “Gabriel, tonight…” 

“Nah, I have plans tonight.”

After hanging up Ashley worked until noon 1 poking in the extender, she remembered Perry‘ hinhoy was approaching and called Zark. 

Zatk always wanted more contact with Ashley. This desire innsdorfied after learning shwar Cabirial’s foulings for her. Their interactions were limited to work and Berry. He couldn’t find a soluble eerder in call her, perally with Chavishment with Erenal 

Seeing her call he immediate mapped what he was doing and wwered 

Ashley asked “Mr Green, sm I dierubing your 

“No,” he said wfth. “What’s upd 

“It’s about Berry’s birthday. I want to make her a gift myself, but I’m worried the might not like it. I wanted your opinion 

Touched by her concern, he ssid sincerely, “Betty loves you. She’ll love anything pour make 

That was true. Ashley smiled. “Well do you have any specific suggestions? 

He thought for a while. “Do you bake cakes** 

“Yes,” Ashley replied. “Got it 

“Thank you. Let me know if you have any questions.” 

“Okay.” 

After the call, Zark got out of his car and entered the restaurant. Chase, Tanya, and Ethan were already there. 

Ethan teased him. “What took you so long?” 

Zark smiled.“I got a call.” 

Tanya looked at Zark, who was clearly in a good mood. Ever since Jane joined his company, Tanya had reached out to him several times, hoping to treat him to a meal, but he repeatedly declined, citing work commitments as an excuse. The point was, it wasn’t just once or twice… Was he avoiding her because she’d tried too many times to set him up with Catherine? 

Around 6 PM, Ashley finished dinner and was about to leave for the play when she received a call from Burke. 

Burke asked, “Are you at Amanda’s?” 

“Yes.” 

“There’s a matter that requires your immediate handling. Get yourself ready. Someone will pick you up in ten minutes.” 

…Okay.” 

It sounded urgent. Amanda told Ashley to go. She and Mandy would go to the play together. 

Ten minutes later, Burke’s car arrived. Ashley learned that the government project she’d authorized required her immediate attention. Burke was too busy to handle it and she had the most in–depth knowledge of its core technology. He needed her to oversee its progress. 

At the base, her phone was confiscated. For the next three days, she worked tirelessly. On the third day, at noon, as she entered the base cafeteria, she saw Matt.
