Falling in Love With A One-Night Stand

Chapter 558 Run!

The opening ceremony of the racing competition was held in the Birmingham suburbs on the day before Christmas Eve. All racing teams would arrive at the official race venue following the opening ceremony

The day before the opening ceremony began, Alicia received the tickets Matthew had sent her. She was so happy that she kept begging Tammy to go with her. Tammy was drowsy the entire way because they had an early start in the morning. She grumbled, “What’s the big deal about this? It is only an opening ceremony, not a race. Do you realize this will be over once everyone has brought their cars in? I don’t think it’ll even last half an hour. I can’t believe I’m waking up so early for that.”

Alicia said, “I’m not interested in the official game! I’m only here to take a photo with Kevin.”

“Who’s Kevin?”

“A very cute racer. He was on a variety show last year and is now very famous.”

“How cute can he be? Is he as cute as Scott?” Tammy asked mockingly

Alicia flipped through the brochure, looking for a picture of Kevin

“They are not the same type. Here! This is Kevin.”

Tammy frowned and asked, “Are you sure? He’s a reserve player for my company’s team. He’s not even a regular on the team. Why do you find him attractive?”

“What? He’s a backup player?!” Alicia went completely still. She wouldn’t have known it if Tammy hadn’t pointed it out. On the brochure, Kevin’s name had a yellow line next to it, indicating that he was a substitute

“How did that happen?” With her eyes widened in shock, Alicia asked

Tammy yawned and appeared to be about to fall asleep. She looked around and froze when she noticed someone

“Alicia.”

“Yeah?”

“Look!”

Alicia turned to face the front row, following Tammy’s gaze. She asked after seeing the man, “Isn’t that Dominic? What id he doing here?”

Tammy frowned when she noticed the logo of Brisco Group on the small flag Dominic was holding. Brisco Group was Carousel Group’s biggest competitor

“Dominic seems to be on your opponent’s team.” Nudging Tammy, Alicia said with a sly smile

Tammy mockingly looked at Alicia and said, “Of course I noticed that! I hate him!”

“You don’t have to judge him that way, Tammy. It’s just a game, and everyone is playing fair.”

“Brisco doesn’t care about fairness or even morals.” Tammy snorted after she said so

“What’s the matter?”

“This happened a few years ago. Back then, the real estate industry wasn’t so heavily regulated. So, the Brisco group demolished many old buildings with bulldozers and even killed some residents. From then on, they are known for their tough demolition practices.”

“Really?” Alicia asked, surprised

“They’ve also done a lot of dirty deeds.” Tammy didn’t want to bring up these heinous details again. She cast a glance at Dominic and then frowned

“That’s Kevin! Tammy. I’m going to ask him for an autograph. Wait for me here!” Alicia then quickly ran away

/t seems you did come here just to see Kevin. Then why did you ask me to come here with you? Tammy thought

At that point, the opening ceremony had already begun. As the teams of each brand entered the field, the host introduced them to the audience

At the same time, the audience could hear the roaring engines and see the floating smoke

While most of the audience were cheering like crazy, Tammy remained silent as she had no interest in racing at all. She waited for Alicia for a long time before deciding to go looking for her. Absentminded and bored, Tammy followed the sign’s instructions and walked to the lounge

Looking at the Brisco brand logo on the lounge door, Tammy sighed

She thought to herself, What’s going on with me, today? Why on earth would I go to the lounge for the Brisco group? Urgh!

She was about to leave when she heard a man talking inside the lounge. “The only thing you have to do at the opening ceremony is to wreck the Carousel Group’s car. You should kick their racer out of the official competition.”

Tammy froze, unable to believe what she was hearing. All of a sudden, Alicia came up behind her and asked, “What are you doing here? I’ve been looking for you for a long time. I just came back from getting you some coffee.” Alicia winked at Tammy while holding two cups of coffee

Then conversation in the lounge came to a halt. Sensing that something was off, Tammy grabbed Alicia’s arm and shouted, “Run!”

“My coffee!”

The two girls ran down the wall in a frenzy. Immediately after that, two men walked out of the lounge and began running after them, shouting, “Stop!”

Alicia’s face became pale with fear. “Who did you piss off again?” she asked Tammy as she ran

“Stop asking! I don’t have time to explain it right now.”

“Ah! I can’t run anymore!” Alicia had used up all of her energy. And the two men were getting closer and closer to them at that moment. In the blink of an eye, Tammy shoved Alicia behind a trash can at the intersection. While panting, she whispered to Alicia, “Stay here. Don’t move until they leave.”

Then Tammy slowed down on purpose. And she started to run quickly after the two men behind her had caught up

“Stop!” The men shouted again

After she left the venue, Tammy noticed tall grass in front of her. Just as she was about to say something, a hand reached out from the grass, covered her mouth, and yanked her in

“Ah!!!” Panicked, Tammy nearly screamed her lungs out

“Shhh!” The person who just yanked her quickly covered her mouth

Both scared and curious, Tammy wanted to turn around and see who the person was. And when she was going to do so, she heard the footsteps of the two men who went after her, and they sounded like they were right beside her. So, she perished the thought and decided to stay still and J silentNôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

“Where has she gone?” One of the men asked

“You tell me! Didn’t she just walk over here?” The other man asked me

“Is it possible that she ran into the woods?”

“Maybe. Let’s go find her there!” They then ran past Tammy and eventually disappeared into the woods

After a long time, Dominic finally let go of Tammy. “You could have been in real danger if you had just run into the woods,” he said

The moment she heard his voice, Tammy went completely still. She was surprised to see Dominic when she looked up. She wanted to say something to thank him, but she didn’t

“You! What the hell are you doing here?!” She immediately stood up and asked, surprised

“I just saved your life! You should thank me, Amber.”

“I’m not going to thank you, scumbag! I don’t even need you to save me!” Tammy said

“What’s wrong? Why are you calling me a scumbag?” Dominic asked in surprise

“You’re as cruel as Brisco! You even wanted to…” Tammy clenched her teeth. She hesitated for a moment and decided it was better to keep her mouth shut

“What? What do you think I want to do?”

“Stop talking to me!” Tammy yelled angrily before turning around and walking away

“Wait a minute!” Dominic said. He held out his hand, trying to get her to stop

“Ah!” Tammy accidentally stepped into a pit. She screamed and then fell straight down on the grass

“I just wanted to remind you that there are pits all over this place. Are you all right?” Dominic asked, reaching out his hand to her

Tammy remained on the ground. “I’m not okay!” she exclaimed angrily

“Come on. They’ll probably go back here if they can’t find you in the woods. We’ll both be screwed if they find us.”

“I’ll be the only one who gets screwed!”

“You don’t have to be so hostile. I mean no harm.”

Tammy rolled her eyes and grumbled, “Shut up, okay? I’m not talking to you!” She stood up, clutching a nearby tree. At the moment, her black down jacket was soiled with grass and mud, giving her a wretched appearance. However, she didin’t care about it at all. All she ever wanted at that moment was to tell Matthew the news she had just heard as soon as possible

Though Tammy was already hurt, she insisted on walking alone. She stumbled as she walked and appeared to be about to trip again. As Dominic couldn’t bear to watch her like that anymore, he held Tammy’s arm after he dropped the branch in his hand

“What are you doing? I can walk on my own!” Tammy was already on Dominic’s back before she could react

“Shh.” Dominic carried her to the venue on his back

Tammy appeared hesitant. On the one hand, she didn’t want Dominic to carry her like that. On the other hand, however, the pain in her ankle was so unbearable that she couldn’t walk on her own. So, she had no choice but to let Dominic carry her like that

“What gives you the impression that I’m one of them?” While walking, Dominic turned his head and asked Tammy, who was on his back

“You were holding their flag. Aren’t you a fan of their racing team?”

“Huh? Someone just handed out flags like that to everyone at the entrance. Didn’t they hand one to you?”

Hearing that, Tammy went completely still. Then she analyzed secretly, Right. Employees from many brands, including the Carousel Group, have just handed out banners and small flags to the audience at the venue’s entrance. So, Dominic might not have anything to do with the Brisco group. Gosh… This is so embarrassing

“You’re not one of them?” Tammy asked in shock

“Of course not!”

“So, why did you hold their flag?”

“I was too embarrassed to throw it away in front of them.”

Tammy believed he had a valid point. She was sorry for saying that about him earlier. After several minutes, they arrived at the venue a little later than expected

“Tammy!” Alicia yelled as soon as she saw them

When Tammy looked up, the first person she saw was Matthew. She tapped Dominic on the shoulder and said, “Thank you very much. You may now put me down.”

Matthew approached Tammy and asked anxiously, “What happened? Did you get hurt ?” “I’m fine. Actually, I accidentally sprained my ankle.”

Tammy’s hand remained on Dominic’s shoulder as she spoke. At the same time, Matthew gave Dominic a wary look

“Pleasure to meet you. I’m Dominic,” Dominic said, extending his hand to Matthew

“Matthew.”

Looking at the two young boys, who were exchanging hostile glances, Alicia trembled in fear
