Clara barely slept. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the same sentence from the old report.

Driver elected to ignore original race strategy and pursue aggressive defensive manoeuvre

It didn't fit what she had learned about Matteo. He was arrogant. Difficult. Ruthless.

But reckless? Not in the way the report suggested.

By eight the next morning, Clara was back in the archive room with her laptop open and the old accident file beside her.

She heard footsteps behind her.

    Tara stared at Clara. Then she stared at her again. Then she slowly put down the glass in her hand.“You're dating Matteo Devereaux?”Clara covered her face.“Please don't say it like that.”“How else am I supposed to say it?”“Quietly.”Tara leaned closer. “You're dating Matteo Devereaux?”Clara groaned.“Tara.”“I knew it.”“You did not.”“I absolutely did.”“You thought he hated me.”“He did.”“Exactly.”Tara waved her hand dismissively.“Men change.”Clara laughed.They were sitting in Clara's living room on Saturday evening, having spent most of the day doing absolutely nothing productive. Tara had come over after Clara returned from Monaco, and Clara had finally decided she couldn't keep the news from her best friend.Especially after Tara had spent the entire afternoon asking why Clara kept smiling at her phone.“So let me understand this,” Tara said, shifting closer. “You and Mr Billionaire Racer went on a date.”“Yes.”“You kissed.”“Yes.”“A proper kiss?”Clara gave her a lo

    The drive back to the hotel was quieter than the drive there.Clara sat in the passenger seat with one hand resting on the door, watching the lights pass outside the window. Now and then, she glanced at Matteo.He drove with one hand on the steering wheel, his other resting near the gear shift.She was still thinking about what he had told her at dinner.About the woman from his past.About the way he'd looked when he admitted that she had chosen someone else.There was still one thing she didn't understand.“Can I ask you something?”Matteo glanced at her.“You've been thinking about it for the last ten minutes, so yes.”She smiled.“Was I that obvious?”“Yes.”She turned toward him.“Why did you humiliate me after I kissed you?”His hand tightened slightly around the steering wheel.“I knew you'd eventually ask.”“I should have asked a long time ago.”“You probably should have.”Clara waited.Matteo remained silent for a few seconds before speaking.“When you kissed me, I thought yo

    Clara spent far too long deciding what to wear. It was ridiculous.She had stood in front of her wardrobe for almost twenty minutes, rejecting dresses, skirts, jeans, and even a blouse she had worn to work twice because somehow it felt too professional.This wasn't a business dinner. It wasn't a Devereaux event. There would be no cameras.No reporters. No one waiting to photograph Matteo Devereaux with a woman on his arm.It was simply a date. Their first actual date. And that somehow made it worse.Clara finally settled on a simple black dress that fell just above her knees and a pair of heels. She kept her jewellery minimal and left her hair loose.When she stepped out of her room, Matteo was already waiting in the hotel lobby.He looked at her. Then he stopped. Clara immediately became self-conscious.“What?”“Nothing.”“You're staring.”“I know.”She rolled her eyes. “That's not reassuring.”“You look beautiful.”The compliment was so straightforward that she didn't know what to d

  • The Billionaire Racer I Kissed    CHAPTER 108

    Clara stared at Matteo for several seconds.“You've thought about this already?”“Yes.”“And you're sure?”“No.”She blinked.Matteo's mouth twitched.“I've thought about it carefully. That doesn't mean I'm certain of everything.”That sounded more like him.Clara folded her arms and leaned against the edge of the conference table.“Okay. Tell me.”Matteo pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down.“We keep this private.”She nodded slowly.“Until when?”“Until I retire.”“Your racing retirement?”“Yes.”Clara considered it.“And after that?”“I'll speak to Devereaux.”“You mean the PR company.”“Yes. I'll request that they move your assignment. You can continue working with the company if you want, but you won't be directly responsible for me anymore.”Clara's brows rose.“You've already decided that?”“I've decided what I want.”“And what if they refuse?”“They won't.”She gave him a look.“That's very arrogant.”“It's also probably true.”She laughed despite herself.Matteo lea

    Clara barely slept. Not because of the deal. Or because of the missing report. And definitely not because of Sebastian Vale.It was Matteo's words that kept replaying in her head.I'm in love with her.He hadn't said them to her. Not directly.But she had seen the way he looked at her before leaving her room the previous night, and something in her refused to believe that his sudden distance afterwards meant nothing.The next morning, she found him already in the hotel conference room.He was standing near the window with his phone in one hand, dressed in a dark suit, his expression as controlled as ever.“You're early,” Clara said.“So are you.”She placed her tablet on the table.“I couldn't sleep.”His eyes moved to her.“Neither could I.”Something about the way he said it made her heart beat faster. She sat down.“Is something wrong?”“Yes.”The answer was so immediate that she looked up.Matteo slipped his phone into his pocket.“I need to tell you something.”Clara's fingers st

    By the time they landed, Clara had already gone through the proposal three times.She sat across from Matteo in the back of the car, tablet balanced on her knees as they drove toward Aurelis Automotive's headquarters.“You've been staring at that document since we left the airport,” Matteo said.Clara didn't look up.“Because you have a tendency to walk into meetings believing intimidation counts as negotiation.”“It usually does.”“Not today.”His eyebrow lifted.“Why?”“Because they don't need you.”That caught his attention.Clara finally looked up from the tablet.“They want Devereaux Racing's technology, your brand association, and access to your racing network. But they don't need you badly enough to accept whatever you demand.”Matteo leaned back.“And what do you suggest?”“You make them believe they need the partnership more than they need the individual components.”A faint smile touched his mouth.“You've been learning.”“I've been working.”“Same thing.”She rolled her eye

    The air in the boardroom changed the moment Matteo lifted his gaze.Clara felt it before she understood it. A tightening along her spine, a quiet pressure settling behind her ribs. Her body reacted faster than her mind, freezing mid-step just inside the doorway. For half a second, the room existed

    Clara’s hand fumbled across the nightstand, knocking into her phone twice before she managed to silence the alarm that had just woken her up. The room fell quiet again, but the echo lingered in her skull, sharp and insistent. She lay still for a moment, eyes closed, waiting for the familiar comfor

    Clara’s phone buzzed in her hand, and she knew it was time to leave.She leaned closer to Mark, lowering her voice so it wouldn’t carry over the muted music humming through the private room.“I need to go. I still have work to finish.”Mark barely looked at her. He nodded once, distracted, his atte

    Clara twisted her face, her brows met as she swerved into the next turn. The morning traffic was already irritating her, and that was before her phone vibrated.She glanced at the screen while slowing at a red light.Devereaux Franchise Team: Meeting confirmed for 9:00 a.m.Her brows knitted toget
