Chapter 703 It Was a Monster
True love would not fade away with the passage of time. In truth, it was like a pot of strong liquor.
Time would only strengthen its intensity and depth, and it would not change the essence of the alcohol.
As Clarissa recalled the time when she married Anderson, she was half coerced and half forced to agree.
At that time, she never thought that they could come so far.
It was only now that she realized she had been with him for such a long time.
With that in mind, she raised her lips irresistibly, looking at him, and said solemnly, "Me too. I miss you every second."
Hearing that, Anderson was incredibly pleased.
Suddenly, the faint smile on his handsome face widened.
And the corners of his mouth stretched into a big happy smile in the end.
"You are coming back in three days, right?"
"That's right."
"I'll pick you up at the airport."
"Okay." After a pause, Clarissa reminded him. "Don't come too early. Just estimate the time wisely and be careful on the road."
In response, Anderson nodded, and the two continued to chat for a while. It was only when he arrived at the company that they only kissed each other goodbye.
After Clarissa hung up the video call, the food was long cold.
But she was only gutted that she couldn't see him every second. How could she bother about the food?
So, while they talked for half an hour, she only took a few mouthfuls. Now, the food was too cold to eat.
Without wanting to waste it, she had no choice but to send it back to the kitchen to heat it up again.
After dinner, the two of them returned to their room to rest.
Clarissa had been practicing for the whole day and she was tired. Hence, after taking a shower, she played with her phone for a while and soon fell asleep.
The next day, she would train for a whole day as well.
The only difference was that when it was close to the evening, she went out and took care of the work that she was supposed to do this round.
Perhaps it was because he had hit a wall yesterday, Bob didn't come over to flirt with her today.
Instead, he went through the formalities and retrieved keys for them in a proper manner. Only, when he looked at Nora, the look of grievance and reluctance lingered in his eyes.
But, Nora turned a blind eye to it.
Seeing that, Clarissa couldn't help but laugh.
After she was done with her practice, Clarissa felt that her form was well-adjusted. Although she could no longer compare herself with the time when she was at her peak, at least she had no problem winning this competition this time.
That night, they returned to the hotel and had a good rest.
They were only waiting for the next day afternoon to go directly to the competition venue.
After a good night's sleep, she only woke up the next monring.
As soon as Clarissa woke up, she brought Nora with her to the competition venue.
Flying competition was the largest and well-recognized race event every year. It was also a competition that had the highest popularity.
Those who participated in the competition were basically the people a the top of the pyramid.
It was also because of this reason that it was fancied by the international audience who liked racing.
There were two types of competition here.
One was the group competition and the other was the individual challenge competition.
Clarissa didn't have a team, so she took part in the individual challenege.
When everyone heard her name, they had no idea who she was.
After all, her name had never appeared on a racing track before, and it sounded like a woman. Therefore, everyone thought she was a newcomer and did not pay much attention to her.
It wasn't until she came out that everyone was surprised.
Wow! What a beauty!
In truth, Clarissa's former identity as an actress was only known in Ascijan. In addition, she hadn't been filming for a long time. It lasted only for a year and a half, and she only had two movies in total.
Therefore, her popularity was limited, and the people over here did not know her.
When they saw her, they only thought that this woman was very beautiful and looked confident. She didn't look like a newcomer.
In the past, she took part in the competition in the name of Maxi, and under Jara's request, she put on a mask. Therefore, although there were many legends about her in the racing industry, in truth, almost no one had seen her in person.
It was also because of this that when Clarissa appeared this time, no one recognized her.
Still Nora remained by her side, acting as her assistant.
When they got into the car, Nora would have to go with her.
Fortunately, Nora had learned how to race before, and because she had a good foundation in martial arts, it was relatively easier for her to do these things.
The contest was categorized into three groups. Each contestant would compete in three groups, and the fittest would prevail. In the end, the remaining two groups would compete in the final.
In the first three groups, Clarissa won without a doubt.
Everyone else had won with a three-two victory. After all, those who came here to compete were basically on par with each other.
It was already very impressive to win two out of three matches.
But Clarissa actually won three rounds and completely outclassed her opponent.
In fact, when the game ended, the opponent looked dumbfounded as he got out of the car. He was doubting himself and thought he'd just seen a monster instead of a contestant.
Smiling bashfully, Clarissa mentioned it was all luck. In fact, he was already very good.
Hearing that, the opponent was speechless.
And he looked impassive.
Who would believe it was luck?!
Anyway, there was nothing he could do. This was a competition, and he had indeed lost.
In fact, he had to admit he lost. With that, Clarissa successfully got the ticket to the finals.
The other person who got into the finals was called Andrew.
He was a foreigner. Clarissa had just watched his game. He was indeed ferocious, but not as fierce as she was.
Even so, Nora could not help but worry for her from the bottom of her heart.
The finals were held in the evening, so the two players were given enough time to rest.
As Clarissa sat in the lounge with Nora, and pondered upon her strategies in the evening, she heard a loud noise outside all of a sudden.
Raising her eyebrows, she was somewhat surprised.
So she told Nora to go out and take a look. It didn't take long before Nora came in.
When she came back, she looked perplexed. Clarissa raised her eyebrows, asking her to explain the situation. "You will not believe it. Guess who I saw just now?"
Hearing that, Clarissa shook her head. "You were the one who saw it. How would I know?"
Then, Nora sighed. "I saw the player, Andrew. He was arguing with the organizers outside, saying that he wouldn't compete with women."
"Wouldn't even argue with a woman, he said. So he asked the organizer to find a way to replace the contestant or restart the competition."
After hearing that, Clarissa was stunned for a moment, but immediately followed by a bust of laugher.
"Replace the contestant? Did he say who should be replaced?"
When Nora heard the question, she looked as if Clarissa was asking a rhetorical question despite knowing the answer.
"For God sake, of course, it's you."
As she spoke, she rubbed her forehead, feeling a headache.
"It's been nine thousand one hundred and two years. Why does he still have such a ridiculous idea of looking down on girls? Did he just call himself an upper-class man? Bah!"
