Chapter 17: From Zero to Drive
Augustus’ face lit up with a faint grin. Wow, that was thrilling and exhilarating, he mused, heart still throbbing.
"She must be some skilled driver, she was really close to winning," Augustus said, looking from the windshield, acknowledging Alexandra’s driving skills.
Victor sighed. "We still lost," he muttered, shaking his head. "Come, let me introduce you to your driving teacher," he mumbled and got out of the car.
Augustus gave a surprised look and followed behind.
"Alexandra, you’re as fast as ever," Victor complimented.
She glanced, her beautiful, silky red hair flowing effortlessly. "And you’re as slow as ever," she nagged with a faint smile because they had just lost a $1,000,000 bet against Tristan, along with honor.
Victor sighed. "Well, sorry, but I didn’t start driving at 7 like a certain someone," he taunted and added, "Anyways, meet Augustus. He wants to learn to drive," Victor introduced, gesturing toward Augustus.
Everyone had begun to gather at the finish line. A man stepped forward from his black car. "Alright, come on now, give us our bet money. I don’t want to stay with you losers anymore," he mumbled with a smug smile.
She gave a brief glance, then looked at Victor. "Victor, you know I don’t waste time on newbies unless they prove they’re worth it," she asserted, scanning Augustus.
"Hey, Alexandra, stop wasting our time and give me the money. Once I’m out, you can talk all day," Tristan clarified with a forced smile.
