Casting a glance at the spirited Edwin by her side, Hannah mustered a faint smile and inquired, “Have you had any notable achievements in horse racing?”
Edwin scratched his head, chuckling, “I’ve never competed formally.”
Hannah nodded, mulling it over.
“Never mind then. Some of the other participants are champions of the sport. I’ll go ahead and participate.”
Since it was a horse race that day, all the participants were donned in their equestrian attire.
Keith lounged in the grandstand, sipping his drink with Leisure, his gaze fixed upon the flurry of activity below as preparations for the upcoming race unfolded.
“They seem pretty determined to secure the bid; hence their eagerness to compete,” he mused.
Trent, his eyes rolling in a mixture of annoyance and amusement, quipped, “That’s because the land is simply irresistible. Alter the parcel, and it loses its charm.”
Keith wore a wry smile as he pondered the unfolding spectacle.
“I can’t help but feel we might be making fools of them.” Trent’s voice, dripping with deliberate intent, was stern as he warned Keith, “If anything untoward befalls you down the road, I hope you won’t trouble me. I’d rather not be dragged into it Keith swirled his wine glass idly, a hint of nonchalance in his tone as he mused, “Securing this piece of land isn’t going to be a walk in the park, that’s for sure.”

As they conversed, Keith’s eyes flicked towards the participants, and he gently set his glass aside.
“Look who’s here.”
Trent, intrigued, followed his gaze.
Hannah appeared, immaculately dressed in her equestrian attire. Edwin, at her side, held her hat as she gathered her long hair.
The butler, in impeccable form, led her towards the stables and announced, “Miss Moore, you shall be riding horse number 5 in the third group. Please take this time to rest.”
“Understood, Hannah replied.
She affectionately patted the horse’s back and tenderly stroked its face, earning a wag of its tail.
“You’re a gentle one,” she whispered.

“I don’t expect any problems with you.”
The shrill whistle pierced the air, and a quartet of horses burst from the starting line, dashing away at a breakneck pace.
Edwin sighed softly, his eyes then spotting a familiar figure in the distance. In a voice tinged with surprise, he remarked, “Bryson…
Isn’t he going to participate in the race?”
At Edwin’s words, Hannah turned her head instinctively, her gaze tracking Bryson’s approach.
He wore no racing attire, heading directly for the grandstand where he took a seat without sparing her a glance.
