The Billionaire Racer I Kissed CHAPTER 83
Clara didn't let it go. For two days, she tried approaching the problem from every possible angle.She reviewed the agreement again. She spoke with Luca. She prepared a termination proposal and sent it to Matteo.He rejected it. She sent another. He rejected that too.By the third attempt, Clara walked into his office with the document in her hand and very little patience left.Matteo looked up from his laptop."No."Clara stopped."You haven't even seen it.""I've seen the last three.""This one is different.""It's still a termination request."She placed the folder on his desk."Because the situation hasn't changed."Matteo closed his laptop."Sit.""I'm fine standing.""Then stand."Clara folded her arms."Elena is interfering with your schedule, accessing information she isn't entitled to and treating a contractual arrangement like a real relationship. I'm not going to keep cleaning up after her."Matteo leaned back."You've made your position clear.""And you've ignored it.""Be

Clara discovered the first problem at 9:17 in the morning.She was reviewing Matteo's schedule when an email appeared in the shared PR inbox.REQUEST FOR ACCESS — DEVEREAUX RACING INTERNAL MEDIA MATERIALClara frowned as she opened it. The request had been made by Elena's assistant.Clara read it once. Then again.They were asking for upcoming campaign concepts, Matteo's private appearance schedule, and several unreleased photographs intended for the company's official social media pages.Clara's fingers went still on the keyboard."No."She checked the sender. Then the recipient list. Then the attached request. Her chair rolled backwards as she sat up.Why would Elena need any of this?She opened Matteo's current campaign file and compared the request with the information Elena was contractually permitted to receive.Nothing matched.Clara grabbed her phone."Morning," Sophie answered."Did Elena's team request access to the upcoming campaign files?"A pause."Not that I know of.""C
The Billionaire Racer I Kissed CHAPTER 81
Clara had always understood the rules of the arrangement.Elena was Matteo's fake girlfriend. The public needed to believe they were together.That meant photographs, events, appearances, carefully timed affection and the occasional hand on an arm for the cameras.Clara could work with that.What she couldn't work with was Elena apparently forgetting that the relationship had an expiration date.It started with calls, then a nickname."Matty."Clara's fingers stopped moving across her keyboard. She slowly lifted her eyes. Elena was standing beside Matteo's desk, holding two cups of coffee.Matty.Clara stared. Matteo didn't react."Your coffee," Elena murmured, placing one cup beside him.Matteo glanced at it."Thank you."Elena smiled and leaned down. She kissed his cheek casually. Like she'd done it a hundred times.Clara's pen pressed harder against the paper beneath it. The tip snapped. She looked down. Ink had spilt across her fingers."Shit."Elena looked over."Are you okay?"C

Clara didn't have a problem with Elena calling Matteo. At least, that was what she told herself. The first call came during a meeting.Matteo's phone vibrated against the conference table. Once. Twice. He ignored it.Clara glanced at the screen when it lit up again. Elena. She returned her attention to the presentation."Continue," Matteo instructed, tapping his finger once against the table.The marketing director resumed talking. A minute later, Matteo's phone vibrated again.Clara's eyes flicked toward it before she could stop herself— still Elena.Matteo finally picked it up."I'm in a meeting."Clara heard the faint voice through the speaker, but couldn't make out the words.Matteo's jaw tightened. "Later."He ended the call and placed the phone face down. Clara looked at him."Everything okay?"His eyes lifted."Why?""Because you've looked like you're considering throwing your phone through a window.""I'm considering it."A couple of people around the table laughed. Clara didn

By the following afternoon, Clara had stopped being surprised by bad news.Annoyed, yes.Surprised, no.The first article had been followed by three more. Then five.By lunchtime, the internet had apparently decided that Matteo Devereaux's retirement was everyone's personal business.Clara sat at her desk with her laptop open, one hand wrapped around a cup of coffee she hadn't remembered to drink.Her screen refreshed. Another headline appeared.MATTEO DEVEREAUX CHOOSES MONEY OVER RACINGClara's fingers tightened around the cup."You've got to be kidding me."Across the room, Sophie looked up from her laptop."Another one?"Clara turned the screen toward her. Sophie read the headline and groaned."They're getting creative.""Creative?"Clara set the coffee down with a little more force than necessary."This is not creative. This is lazy."Sophie rolled her chair closer."Read the second paragraph."Clara scrolled. Her expression changed."Sources close to the racing industry suggest D

Clara knew the honeymoon wouldn't last. It was too easy.The announcement had gone out the previous day, and for several hours, everything had gone exactly as planned.Fans had praised Matteo's career. Business publications had called his decision strategic.Even some of the sports commentators who usually treated every move he made like a personal insult had admitted that focusing on Devereaux Racing could be the smartest thing he'd done in years.Clara had almost allowed herself to relax.Almost. Then she opened her laptop that morning. The first headline made her stop chewing.She swallowed slowly. Then she read it again.MATTEO DEVEREAUX'S RETIREMENT: STRATEGIC MOVE OR A QUIET EXIT?Her fingers stopped above the keyboard."Well."That was fast. She clicked the article. The opening paragraphs were polished enough to appear objective. The rest wasn't.It questioned whether Matteo had actually chosen to retire or whether the decision had been made for him.His recent performances wer

“You can let her in.”Matteo’s voice cut through the room, calm and controlled, as he kept his eyes on the folder in front of him. The words were directed at the phone call, not Clara, but they still subtly shifted the atmosphere in the room.Clara exhaled slowly without meaning to. She only reali

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

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
