Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

559 Safe At Last

On their way back to the venue, Tammy told Matthew what the the Brisco group was up to. As his eyes turned dark, Tammy said in a serious tone, "Thank you for telling me that, Tammy. Damn it! Are they out of their mind? They are even willing to sacrifice their team members just to go against us."

Pouting, Tammy snapped, "How dare they! They're so despicable! What should we do now, Matthew?"

Matthew said calmly before leaving, "I'll take care of it. You should stay here. Don't go anywhere, okay? I will send you and Alicia back after the opening ceremony is over."

Still, Tammy was worried as she watched Matthew walk away

"Tammy, take it easy. Your brother is so powerful, so he will definitely come up with a solution," Alicia said as she patted Tammy on the shoulder

"But I'm afraid they'll do something even more outrageous."

"They won't do anything to Matthew, will they?" Alicia asked with wariness

"I'm not sure."

Hearing that, Alicia asked, surprised, "What?! This is way too outrageous!"

"Calm down, ladies. They wouldn't dare to do anything here," Dominic chipped in. Both Tammy and Alicia turned around as they heard his voice. "It's on me," Dominic said as he handed them each a Coke "Thanks." Alicia drank her Coke right away. She elbowed Tammy, who was still frozen, and said, "Hey! He got you a drink." It wasn't until then

"I had no idea your brother was the president of the Carousel Group

It's no surprise that you always act recklessly," Looking at Tammy, Dominic said straightforwardly

"Are you blaming me for what happened before?"

"No. I'm complimenting you."

"Really? But don't think so." Lowering her head, Tammy hesitated for quite a while before looking up at Dominic and continuing, '-Dominic, I'm sorry for misunderstanding you earlier." Dominic froze before reaching out and rubbing Tammy's hair. And Tammy asked in astonishment, her eyes widening in shock, "What are you doing?!" Later, she avoided his hand Dominic burst out laughing and said, "Relax! I didn't take it personally anyways. After all, you're just a kid."

"I'm not a kid anymore. I'm only sixteen years old."

"Exactly!" Alicia, who was next to Tammy, also muttered in dissatisfaction

"So? You're both kids to me. But your brother looks like an adult to me. You know, adults have to shoulder a great deal of responsibility and sacrifice of many of their favorite things when it's necessary," Dominic said as he sat on the following step

I have to admit that I envy you two. Both of you are at a point when you try to be independent and hate being treated like children. I've been there, too. So, Igetit. However, when you become a real adult, you must learn to weigh the pros and cons and hide your emotions sometimes

Besides, you will have no choice but to be forced to accept the numerous unavoidable things that life throws at you. Dominic thought to himself

"Is that why you retired? You're not old enough to retire, and your record is still at the top of the charts. Are you doing this because of the so-called responsibilities?" Tammy asked

With a resigned smile, Dominic replied, "What makes you think that way? Turning my hobby into a career is boring, and I no longer want to do it. I can also give young people more opportunities by retiring. Actually, I'm doing this for everyone's own good."

Tammy frowned when she thought of Dominic's advertising contract

And she didn't believe a single word he was saying

At that moment, they could see on the big screen that the first car had safely crossed the finish line while the second was in the midst of a full sprint. Anumber of cars also stopped halfway through the race due to taking a corner too fast or breaking down

"That's the car of the Brisco Group!" Alicia yelled

The commentator said, "Jayden from Team Carousel is pursuing Ben from Team Brisco. Jayden will win if he surpasses Ben in the front corner."

The commentator kept explaining to the audience what was happening on the spot. The two cars were preparing to drift through the turn, one in front of the other. And Jayden's car drove to the front after a sharp braking sound

In excitement, the commentator said, "Jayden just made a breathtaking move! He managed to get rid of Ben. This is Jaden's best result since he entered the industry, and it could make him a dark horse." "Perfect! Did you hear that? He made it!" Alicia exclaimed excitedly

Tammy fixed her gaze on the screen. And everyone noticed Brisco's car hanging on the cliff's edge when the smoke cleared. The next second, everyone was taken aback and they started discussing "What's going on here?"

"Something happened to Ben's car."

"Right."

The commentary immediately said, "The rescue team has arrived, and they said no one was harmed."

Hearing that, Tammy exhaled a sigh of relief. She thought, No wonder the two cars didn't collide! Turns out Ben drove his car into the guardrail himself. Thank God Jayden dodged a bullet

"Jayden is so lucky! But if Kevin was here, he would have performed better." Alicia expressed her dissatisfaction

Dominic said, "Jayden did it not because he's lucky, but because he's a good racer."

"How do you know?"

"Because I'm his friend. Overtaking in corners is his strongest skill, and he's rarely faced competition in that," Smiling, Dominic answered

Tammy froze and asked, "Is he your friend? So you've come to see Jayden today?"

"Yeah. Didn't just say that?" Dominic asked, winking at her

"You..." Tammy felt even more humiliated, as she had just called him a jerk. She had no idea he would be on her team

Alicia was Kevin's big fan. Because the player in the competition was Jayden, Kevin could only be the substitute player. Alicia appeared upset when she found out Dominic was Jayden's friend. And she snapped, "You two are both jerks! It's not surprising that you two are friends!"

"You can call him a jerk, but not me," Dominic said

"You stole our contract, and then your friend Jayden stole my idol's spot in the competition."

"That's..."

Because Dominic had just saved her life, Tammy felt she had to speak up for him. Then she chipped in, "Did you get Kevin's autograph,

Alicia? "

"No! I couldn't find him anywhere."

Dominic asked, "Would you like to meet him?"

"Of course! Can you tell me where he is?"

"All the substitutes will arrive at the finish line the other way."

"Kevin is at the finish line? Great! I'm going to find him now." Alicia exclaimed happily

"Did you guys drive here?" Dominic asked

"No," With a wry smile, Alicia answered

"I can drive you there."

"That won't be necessary," Tammy replied, shaking her head. She was so embarrassed by what had just happened that she didn't want to spend any more time with Dominic anymore. "I'm going to call my brother right now and let his driver take us there." With that, Tammy immediately stood up and gripped the flagpole to keep her balance. She dialed Matthew's number

"Hello? Matthew."

"What's up?"

"Alicia and I both want to go to the finish line. Can you arrange for your driver to take us there?"

"He's currently driving me there. My assistant is still at the venue, so I'll let him..."

Tammy then heard a loud bang. And then she heard something hit the ground. Soon, the phone was disconnected

"What happened, Matthew? Are you okay?" Tammy asked anxiously over the phone

"What's the matter?" Alicia asked the moment she noticed that Tammy was nervous

"Something happened to my brother!" Tammy said in a panic
