Teased By The Billionaire

Race 17

"2 laps, Red! You almost there! " I said to myself.

We had been racing for almost a few hours. I glanced at the rear view mirror of my car. I saw Einah's car following me. I stepped on the pedal to speed up my pace. But Einah didn't slow down, she even accelerated her pace.

I know Einah also wants to win this competition. But it's not time for me to give in to her. I can see the last lap, I glance at the rear view mirror again. She is no longer behind me, I turned to my left, her car was next to mine. She turned to me and glared at me.

I grinned and sped up even more. We almost collided due to the speed of each car. I turned the steering wheel and drifted close to the curved track, I smirked when I saw her avoid the sudden drift I made.

I sped up and took the lead again.
I was too far away from him, I could feel the adrenaline into my veins. The final lap is only a few meters away. My chest was beating hard and my hands were shaking as I gripped the steering wheel tightly.

My world seemed to stop when I didn't realize that Einah had caught up with me. We are only a few meters away from each other. So I stepped on the gas pedal with all my might to accelerate even more and lead her. This is not the right time for me to accept defeat.
The final lap was in front of us and I just closed my eyes.

One week tournament, I won all matches from the Group stage until the elimination rounds.

Those are useless if I even lose today.
I opened my eyes and braked when I passed the final lap. I leaned against the backrest as I caught every breath.

Did I lose?

I saw Danny and my other staff running towards me. I took off my helmet, Danny suddenly opened the door of my sport car. He had a happy face and pulled me out of the car.

"Congratulations, Red! You win! " he said loudly.

The people around were also shouting loudly. They're celebrating...

Wait, What?!

I won!?

They lifted me suddenly, they handed me the championship cup.

I happily lifted the cup and the people watching shouted and applauded at the same time.
I saw Einah turn her back on the media and quickly leave.
They took me down and important people known in the industry came to congratulate me.

The media came to talk to me. But there was security blocking them.
It was a close fight for Einah and me. She almost beat me again.

My staff and I went to our own locker room after avoiding the crowd of media. I saw Easton there with his arms folded as he leaned against the wall near the door.

"Another Torres is waiting for you. " Danny whispered next to me. I elbowed him and he just laughed as he gave me a malicious look.

He said hi to Easton before he entered the locker room and Easton and I were left alone outside.

"What are you doing here? You should be there with your sister."
He left leaning against the wall and slowly approached me with his hands in his pants pockets.

"Is it bad to congratulate my girlfriend?" he said while grinning at me.

"Girlfriend?" I scoffed

"Why, isn't it?" He slowly come closer and I moved away from him.

He looked deeply into my eyes and I was lost in his gaze.

"I-I didn't remember that you courted me and I said yes to you." He came closer to me and I moved further back.
