"Speople aren't in it for the money, Melany. They do it for the adrenaline, for the thrill," he said. For a long time, Colton had secretly yearned to be like the racers below, free to unleash himself fully.
But something always held him back—maybe fear, maybe something else. So, he remained a spectator, stuck on the sidelines.

Seeing her like this, Colton reassured himself that he was reading too much into it.
Perhaps Melany was just nervous, genuinely afraid. After all, even from the stands, the intensity of the race could set hearts pounding.
"It's okay. I'm here,” he said, wrapping his arms around her protectively.
Unbeknownst to them, Mose Craig, the CEO of Craig Group, had just exited the racetrack.
He had finished competing in the top-tier race and was preparing to invite Colton for a business discussion. However, hearing Melany's dismissive words about the race and seeing the two of them being affectionate in the stands gave him pause.
"You there, inform Mr. Stevens that the collaboration is off. There's no need for us to do business with him," Mose said to his assistant, his eyes fixed on the couple.
Mose had earned his reputation over decades, cutting his way through the business world with sharp instincts. Just from observing Colton and Melany's interaction, he could tell they weren't the right kind of people to partner with.

He shook his head, muttering under his breath, "It's true what they say, 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' How could Mr. Stevens, such a sharp man, have descendants like this?" He didn't intend to lecture the younger generation, but as he observed Melany and Colton, he couldn't help but feel they were too narrow-minded.
It was one thing to be unfamiliar with the joys of a different industry, but to be openly disdainful showed a lack of maturity and perspective. Worse still, they couldn't even mask their contempt in public.
"This kid of Stevens is a lost cause," he lamented.
As Mose sighed in quiet disappointment, something on the track caught his eye. Turbo, who had been dominating the race with a significant lead, was suddenly being caught up! The crowd gasped in unison as cameras were raised to capture the tic turn of events.
“Look! That rookie, Sweety, is overtaking him!" "Three... two... one... They're neck and neck!"
"Where did that woman cfrom? She's incredible!" The content is on novelenglish.net!
"She's no rookie, for sure. Her speed and technique scream seasoned Pro!"
Even Melany, who had been indifferent about the race, now stood we in anxious anticipation. Were those two crazy?
