Chapter 203


    Two gleaming race cars vanished like lightning before ra''s eyes. As she watched thepetition


    from the stands, her phone buzzed with an iing call from Sasha.


    Barely had she tapped the screen to answer when Sasha''s shriek pierced the air. "ra, the


    groomsman you''re paired with at the wedding tomorrow is a total knockout—like, picture a guy


    who''s all refined and repressed with sses, but a total wild card once they''re off. I swear, this dude


    is all that, absolutely maic. Girl, it looks like spring has sprung for you again."


    ra couldn''t help but chuckle. "It''s just going through the motions, you getting this pumped?"


    "Of course I am. I''m all torn up over your happiness. Just you wait, I''m sending you his pic and bio.


    You''re gonna scream. Meet you in the morning to head over together, okay?"


    After hanging up with Sasha, ra''s phone was swamped with notifications. Her messeges was


    flooded with pictures of handsome men.


    When she tapped open the photo, the man''s face seemed oddly familiar. Those dark eyes seemed


    to hook her soul, sending a shiver through her.

    Lost in her phone screen, she didn''t notice Ian''s husky voice from behind. "Into that type, huh? A


    gentleman in public, a wild creature in private?"


    ra quickly pocketed her phone and looked up to find herself lost in Ian''s profound gaze. Only


    then did she realize why the man in the photo felt so familiar—it was the resemnce to Ian''s eyes


    and nose, despite their starkly different auras.


    She swiftlyposed herself, replying coolly, "That''s none of your business."


    Ian leaned in close, his chiseled face hovering just above her. Their proximity was so close, their


    breaths mingled.


    His eyes held a lingering affection, his voice tender, "If that''s what you like, I can be that for you."


    His cool fingertips brushed against the corner of ra''s eye, "ra, don''t look at other men, it


    drives me insane."


    ra was unmoved by his heartfelt confession, offering instead a casual smile, "Even if you turned


    into that, I wouldn''t be into you."


    She pushed past Ian and walked towards Ryker. Her voice softened from its previous coldness,


    "Ryker, did you win?"


    Ryker, brimming with confidence, thumped his chest, "Crushed him with superior skills."


    ra saw a new light in Ryker’s eyes, the glow of self-belief, a far cry from his former despondency.


    She gave him a thumbs-up, "Impressive! How about you consider working here? I''ll throw in some


    gear for you, what do you say?"


    The adrenaline still coursing through Ryker''s veins spiked at ra''s words, and he was tempted.


    His fists tightened as he said firmly, "If I get stronger than him, would you give me a chance?"


    Before ra could respond, Ian interjected, "Get stronger first, then we''ll talk. You run the


    operations of the club, and we''ll split the profits fifty-fifty. I''ve had it appraised for investment, and


    we''re looking at tens of millions in profit a year. Once you''ve got the capital, then you can


    compete with me for thedy."
