Having had the final word, she quickly saved her phone’s digital map, turned around, and walked away.
As she walked away, Sadie’s complaints filled the air, accompanied by Declan’s audible impatience.
Exiting the conference room, Hannah headed for the garage, her mood further dampened by the recent encounter.
To her astonishment, the garage door had been forcibly pushed open during her short absence!
A soft glow came from inside. Hannah’s eyes narrowed as she hastened inside.
Contrary to her expectations, only a stranger was there, sitting next to her race car, a small scratch marking his cheek.
Stopping short, Hannah looked at him incredulously.
“You.. Who are you?”
The young man leaped to his feet, his face displaying complete innocence upon seeing Hannah in her racing attire.
“This is your car, isn’t it?” Pierson Miller ruffled his disheveled hair, appearing somewhat embarrassed.
“I was coming back to my own garage and saw someone trying to break into yours, with plans to vandalize your car. I scared them off!”
Taking a step back, Pierson allowed Hannah to see her untouched car.
“Don’t worry! Your car’s in perfect condition. They didn’t get a chance to touch it.”

Hannah cast her eyes over her immaculate car, then offered Pierson a small smile.
“Thanks. If it weren’t for you, I might’ve missed today’s race.”
“It was no big deal.”
Pierson gestured vaguely, as if brushing the matter aside. Before walking away, he paused, offering some advice.
“Look, you appear to be a newcomer. Haven’t seen you race lately. That guy who tried to mess with your car earlier? He’s bad news in the racing world. Be careful.”
Without waiting for a response, he hurried off, leaving Hannah without a chance to ask for his name.
Hannah shook her head at his hasty departure when her phone, nestled in her pocket, began to ring.
It was Bryson.
Grasping the phone, she hesitated to pick up.
While she pondered, the call ended. Just as she let out a sigh, the phone rang once more.
“Hello? Mr. Mitchell.”
