“It’s okay. I can watch and learn from you. I won’t bother you.
After saying this and with my boss present, I didn’t want to confront him openly or argue with him.
I let him be.
From that day on, Harley began his
“learning” journey.
He showed up at the fleet on time every day, helped me organize tools, handed me water and even helped me check tires.
The former high–ranking Mr. Moss now surrounded me like a handyman.
I was indifferent and still treated him.

Harley didn’t care at all. He ordered meals for me three times a day and gave me small gifts from time to time.

“No.”
He asked, “He seems to be pursuing you. Are you not tempted?”
“How is it possible? It’s all in the past. I was stunned for a moment. Thinking of his recent abnormal behavior, I couldn’t help asking, “Have you made a mistake recently? You are being nice to me for no reason and you want me to help you solve some trouble? Tell me.”
He looked at me with a serious look in his eyes. “I didn’t. Don’t you know? I‘ m going to compete with Harley.”
Suddenly, I was struck by lightning.
I stared at him in surprise. “What did you say? Compete with Harley?”
“Yeah.” He nodded, his tone firm. “I
want to pursue you, Monica.”
Harvey’s words were like a bomb,
exploding in my mind and the buzzing aftertaste lingered.

My thoughts were still erratic until the next day when I was working.
My mind was full of his serious eyes and
firm tone.
Pursuing me?
He was actually going to compete with Harley?
I stood by the racetrack, watching my teammates‘ cars flash before my eyes again and again.
The roar of the engine echoed in my ears, but I was like an outsider and couldn’t
concentrate.
At the corner, the harsh sound of tire friction cut through the air.
I suddenly came back to my senses, but saw a racing car out of control, spinning and rushing toward me!
Time seemed to stop at this moment and my body was stiff and stunned.

At the critical moment, a figure suddenly threw me to the ground.
The huge impact force hit me and I was overwhelmed. I heard the harsh sound of metal twisting and the exclamation of the crowd.
“Monica! Monica!”
There was a lot of noise around and
someone called anxiously.
Harvey helped me up and I saw Harley curled up in pain on the ground not far away, with a bright red blood under him.
The overturned car pressed on him, which was shocking.
“Harley!”
The team staff quickly sent the injured driver and Harley to the hospital.
“The patient’s injuries are quite serious, with multiple fractures and internal organ damage. We have performed emergency surgery and are still in the observation

My eyes were blurred and my steps were weak.
All this happened too suddenly and I hadn’t recovered yet.
