Chapter 45 Amazing Record
The girl gave each of them a small flag marked with the name of Jameson's team.
After that, she reminded Lauren, "Hey, since we're all Jameson's fans, I'd like to remind you that you'd better not dress like this in such a place, because you're easy to be mistaken as a spy sent by the opponent."
"But don't worry. I believe you. When I look at your eyes, I have a very familiar feeling, so I don't think you are a spy!"
Clarissa felt that Lauren's body froze for a moment obviously.
Lauren smiled awkwardly, "Really? Thank you for your trust!"
Clarissa really wanted to laugh, so she quickly changed the topic, "How long before the competition starts?"
"It starts at eight o'clock." The girl glanced at her watch, "It's almost time."
As they were talking, a loud whistle suddenly came from the opposite side.
Then the applause burst out. All the racers of the eight teams came out!
Lauren got so excited all of a sudden!
"Ah... He's there! He's so handsome! Clarissa, do you see him? He's in the blue racing car! His eyes are so intense and his skin is so white. It's been a few days since I last saw him, but he seems to have become more charming! Woo-woo, he's really cool and stylish!"
Clarissa was speechless.
The racers were all sitting in the driver's seats with helmets. She could only see refraction lights at a glance and it was so dazzling. She couldn't see Jameson's face clearly at all!
She pulled Lauren's sleeve helplessly and said in a low voice, "Lauren, calm down!"
"I can't calm down!"
"Don't forget that you are an actress."
"But I love him!"
Clarissa got speechless again.
She really couldn't stand Lauren anymore. She could only grit her teeth and say in a low voice, "You are the daughter of the Jones family and you're the most beautiful woman in the entertainment circle. You've been chasing after him for six years, but you can only stay here and cheer on him. Aren't you ashamed?"
Lauren felt speechless.
She turned her head and glared at Clarissa hatefully.
"Why do you suddenly mention this?"
Clarissa smiled contentedly. She glanced at Jameson's team and then looked at the black racing car opposite.
Freddie's name was on the flags and banners over there.
When she searched for information online last night, she accidentally found another identity of Freddie— the top racer of the Cannonball Team.
Although Freddie was a well-known director, he had always been low-key. Therefore, few people knew that he was a racer.
The racing circle had always been closed. Those who didn't care about this circle would not pay attention to it, so there were less people who knew that he was a racer.
Clarissa lowered her head slightly. After thinking for a while, she told Lauren that she wanted to go to the bathroom and then walked out.
On the tracks, the whistle sounded, and the competition had begun.
The Four-kilometre Championship was divided into qualifying session and final match. There were three matches in total!
Among the eight teams, only the four teams who successfully passed the qualifying session could have the chance to enter the finals.
There were two rounds in the finals. The person graded last in the performance evaluation would be laid off from his position. In the final match, the one who reached the finishing line first would become the winner.
Jameson had won the championship four times before this match.
Before him, the champion had always belonged to the Cannonball Team.
This time, the Cannonball Team was represented by Freddie, and every racer of the team was greatly boosted. They wanted to win the championship.
Soon, the qualifying session was over.
Without any surprise, the Cannonball Team went up.
Jameson's team and the other two teams also went up.
The final was about to begin.
In the lounge, the team members had been relaxing for Freddie. One of the racers suddenly came over and said, "Freddie, someone wants to see you outside."
Freddie was a little surprised.
"Who is it?"
The man scratched his head and his face actually blushed.
"I don't know her, but she's quite pretty."
Jordan was even more surprised.
"A woman?"
"Yes."
"Let her in!"
When Clarissa was led in, she saw Freddie sitting on the chair at a glance.
Compared to how he looked when he worked as a director, Freddie looked even more imposing at this time. Although he was already in his forties, he looked like an ardent youth who was energetic and clever.
Clarissa smiled and walked to him calmly. She reached out and said with a smile, "Director Jordan, long time no see."
"Clarissa?"
Freddie was surprised.
He knew Clarissa.
Five years ago, on the college entrance exam of Winters School of Fine Arts, he had seen Clarissa's design as an examiner.
At that time, he was amazed by Clarissa's talent. But later, Clarissa was accused of plagiarizing and stealing her younger sister's design, and she was disqualified.
Although he felt sad for Clarissa, he had to obey the rules of the examination. Later, he was busy with his work, so he didn't pay attention to this matter anymore.
He didn't expect that he would meet her here.
After a while, he smiled politely and got up to shake her hand.
Clarissa smiled and said, "Director Jordan, it's my honor that you still remember me."
Freddie forced a smile.
"Why do you come to find me today?"
"Don't worry. I didn't come to you for what happened five years ago. Although I do feel wronged, it was a thing of the past and I don't want to mention it anymore."
Freddie frowned slightly. Just as he wanted to say something.
Clarissa had opened her mouth and said.
"I heard that the Cannonball Team wants to win the championship?"
Hearing this, the people around suddenly cheered up.
Freddie's attention was successfully diverted.
He stared at Clarissa and said in a deep voice, "Yes, so what?"
Clarissa smiled.
"Director Jordan, it may be impolite for me to say this, but I'm telling the truth. It's almost impossible for you to win the championship."
As soon as she said this, everyone's face darkened.
Someone said angrily, "The match hasn't started yet! How can you say this?"
"Right! I think you're making trouble here on purpose. Whether you believe it or not, we'll drive you out right now!"
Clarissa smiled. She remained calm and looked around them.
Then, she analyzed slowly, "Director Jordan, your last competition was in four years ago. At that time, you reached the finish line just half a second behind Jameson. He won the championship and you have never participated in any competition since that time."
In the past four years, Jameson won the championship four times. Your team always wants to regain the title of champion, so you have been practicing hard all the time. I know that your speed has reduced from two minutes and three seconds to one minute and five seconds.
"I have to admit that this is indeed a very impressive record in the Four-kilometre Championship. But do you know what Jameson's record was when he participated in the competition aboard last month?"
Freddie's expression changed slightly.
Clarissa smiled and said word by word, "One minute and forty-eight seconds."
All the people present gulped in surprise.
Although it was only a six-second difference, everyone knew how difficult it was to improve these six seconds.
They were all top racers and almost all of them had developed their potential to the limit. It was almost impossible for them to make a breakthrough.
However, Jameson's record was too amazing!
