Zayn shuddered slightly as Peter's eyes landed on him, he couldn't help but recall that chilly aura that had immobilized him when they were fighting at the school ring.However, Zayn quickly shook off the feeling, he shouldn't appear cowardly in front of the girl he liked.Zayn stomped forward, "How dare you try to embarrass Katie by bringing her to this restaurant?" "Embarrass her? Shouldn't you be more embarrassed for following people around?" Peter retorted.Zayn didn't reply to Peter and turned to Katie instead to save his image in her eyes."Katie, I only came all the way here for you. This guy here is nothing but a waiter and a janitor posing as a rich guy just to get your attention. He borrowed some money and rented a car just to show off, I bet he won't be able to get you into this restaurant even if he sells all his organs, you'll only be humiliated with him so come with me." Katie who had witnessed Peter's wealth firsthand frowned. "Zayn, I clearly said that I would go on
Peter had been nothing but nice and gentlemanly to her today. While Zayn had always been arrogant as if he'd always been sure he could eventually get her.Regardless of the issue of wealth, Katie was still a woman who would choose the one who treated her the best.She turned to glare at Zayn."You have already caused enough trouble by coming after me. Have you started stalking me? I'm out on a date with a guy I like, if we end up getting in trouble, what's it to you?" Zayn had completely not expected this kind of firm reply from Katie.He had been a hundred percent sure Katie would want to flee the embarrassing scene and come with him. And the words 'a guy I like' felt unbearably grating to his ears."You like this loser? You'll only be miserable around him. Didn't you hear what the man just said? He'll be sent to jail for fraud." "All that Is my concern, what's it to you who I want to be with or if I get in trouble. I'm telling you Zayn Landon, stay away from me and stop following
The interior of the Golden Resplendence was even more grandiose than one would expect.Unlike other restaurants, there weren't random seats arranged in a space for the guests to eat, instead they had special rooms within sliding doors for every individual guest.Each room unique in itself. Since Peter owned a VVIP card, his private room was the most elite in the restaurant.With a beautiful glass roundtable, a line of waiters standing professionally in a straight line.Peter pulled out a seat for Katie and took his seat opposite her. The young woman stared at him with sparkling eyes."Sir, allow us to serve you some warm appetizers." The teenage looking girl said before going back to instruct the waiters.Katie looked down shyly starting to say, "Peter, thank you for bringing me to such a wonderful place tonight."Peter noticed the bashfulness on her face, he replied straightforwardly, "No need for gratitude, it is only fitting you enjoy your time. I apologize for the minor misunder
Zayn tipped his chin upwards confidently. There was a saying that no girl could refuse diamonds as a gift. He had used all his allowance saved up for months to buy this necklace.Last night he had deliberately walked away and left Katie in that embarrassing place, that had been a lesson to her so she would realize who was the better man between them.Some women just needed a little taste of hardship, and their loyalty would immediately take a shift when they couldn't take the hardship anymore.Zayn believed that Katie ought to have learned her lesson after last night, so he made a timely appearance this morning.He was sure she would be swept away by his thoughtful and romantic gesture, she definitely wouldn't want to refuse him.For months he'd been showing his interest in her but she'd never given him a straightforward reply, now that she must have realized her mistake, it was the perfect moment to make his big move.Zayn clapped his hands and the men holding roses all marched forw
Peter continued with his daily schedule at school without paying attention to the students whispering and talking about him everywhere he went.Later that day as he was headed to the school cafeteria, he suddenly received a text."Hey Peter, wanna hang out today?" Peter suddenly recalled he'd met Walter Heed when he'd purchased his cars.The star racer of ACR wanted to hang out with him, of course he wouldn't refuse.Racing was Peter's favorite sport and he always got excited about it even though he mostly never had time to watch the racing games before because he was always busy working, but at least now he had time to get to hang out with the star racer he used to watch.Peter immediately typed a reply. "Sure, where do you wanna meet up?" A reply came immediately back, "I wanna show you one of my latest customized cars, I'm sure you'll like them. Let's meet at the official ACR track."Peter had never been there before, however he knew where it was located. Since he no longer had an
Walter was about to start the car and turn around when Peter suddenly gripped his arms stopping him."Why are we leaving? Those guys are clearly blocking the tracks deliberately, I'll go talk to them and they'll allow us pass through."Walter was about to stop Peter from doing that but he had already stepped down from the car before Walter could stop him.Peter walked up to the three who sized him up contemptuously.The lady among them clinging to the guy with red hair. "Brother Jason, who is that guy riding in Heed's car? He doesn't look like a racer."The guy with red hair scoffed, "Che! It seems Heed got himself a little friend. Bringing an ordinary guy who's not a racer to the tracks, this loser must have a lot of guts.""Excuse me, we were just having a fun ride on the tracks, can you guys move your cars aside so we can pass through?" Peter asked politely as he walked up to them.The red haired guy exchanged a glance with the shorter guy as if seeing the same joke in each other'
Walter quickly grabbed Peter stopping him from entering the passenger's seat of his car."Why did you do that Peter? The automotive city is all I have, and I'm going to lose it to these guys if I take that race.""Don't worry Walter, those guys are just street racers, you were a professional number one racer of ACR, for three good years you held a straight winning streak, no one could defeat you." Peter patted his shoulder reassuringly, "I'm sure you can still do this."Walter looked unconvinced, "That was in the past, I could defeat other racers but not these guys. Please let's just get out of here and renege the bet you placed, I can't afford to lose everything." Peter glanced at him in bewilderment, "What happened back then Walter?"He seemed to still be afraid of something that had happened before in the past.Walter's expression changed, he seemed to have recalled something frightening, his face turned pale and he gripped his key card tightly."Yo loser! Get your ass here!" Jaso
"I already told you Peter, I'm not as good as I used to be." Walter muttered in a low voice with his eyes looking downcast.Leo and Jason jumped out of their cars with a celebratory whoop they high-fived before setting their eyes on Walter's car.Walter glanced at his car's interior hesitantly, "Since I have to give my automotive city to them too, perhaps this is the last time I'll get to sit in a nice sport's car." Regardless, Walter shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Thank you for believing in me Peter, I guess now I've proven to myself that those guys are undefeatable and I'm not as good at racing as I had once thought.""No need to look so guilty, it was my lack of abilities that caused this loss. I'll take my loss as a means to reflect and grow myself better in the future, I love racing, it's my passion, but I was never the best, and maybe, I never will be."Saying that Walter stepped down from his car and began to approach the guys.Jason crossed his arms smugly waiting for W
