The crowd’s teasing made Jaylen’s youthful hormones kick in, and he scratched his head sheepishly.
Narissa, on the other hand, shrugged it off effortlessly, completely unfazed by the banter.
Maybe to avoid awkwardness, or perhaps because Narissa’s earlier words had struck a chord, Jaylen thought for a moment before suddenly extending his hand to her.
“Uh… actually, our racing team is short one person. If you’re into racing too, why not join us?” he invited.
Even Jaylen himself was stunned the moment the words left his mouth. ‘How had I just impulsively invited a refined lady to something so wild?‘
But once spoken, there was no taking it back–because Narissa had already answered with a breezy, “Sure.”
She was as fiery as a fox, effortlessly blending into any situation.
And racing? Well, aside from assassination and toying with the War God Bastien as the Phantom Thief, it was one of her few hobbies.
Of course, she was down to join.
“Whoa, whoa, whoa!”
The back–and–forth between the two left the guys around them dumbfounded.
“Jaylen, what the heck? Flirting is one thing, but inviting her into our team? That’s next level!”
“Seriously, dude. If you wanna take her for a spin, fine. But bringing her into the squad? Nah, we ain’t cool with that.”
“Yeah, our team might not be pro–level, but we’re legit. What if she drags us down? No way!”
“I veto this!”
The guys didn’t have any real beef with Narissa, but letting a girl into their racing crew? That was a hard pass.
Especially since, before returning home, Narissa had just been a cleaner–not even a trained socialite, let alone a racer.
“Unless she can prove herself in a race. If she’s at least decent, then fine. Otherwise, no shot!” one guy declared.
“Dude, shut up. What if she wrecks herself? You wanna deal with the Everton family coming after you?” another guy fretted.
“Racing’s no joke. You gotta have skills to compete. Otherwise, just take a few laps for fun and call it a day.”
“How about this, girl? I’ll take you for a couple of practice laps first. If you handle it well, we can do a little race later. Sound good?”
In short, they still doubted Narissa was up to it.
But that was kinda normal. Race cars were death traps. Especially for the Everton family’s newly found trophy daughter.

Chapter 13
Even those rich girls who grew up with all the luxuries and learned racing skills rarely dare to actually drive a race car–it was all about mentality.
But here was the thing.
Narissa just didn’t care. She crossed her arms, raised a brow slightly, and her eyes were sparkling with excitement. “Nah, let’s just get down to business.
“Since you guys aren’t cool with me joining, I’ll make you eat your words.”
The moment her bold challenge was declared, the guys were stunned. “W–well, don’t expect us to go easy. Don’t cry if you lose later.”
Jaylen couldn’t help but ask, worried, “You sure you’re good? Maybe I can take you for a couple of laps first?”
“Relax.” Narissa refused.
Jaylen backed off at that. But as he turned to his crew, that smooth operator vibe kicked in. “Whatever happens out there, she’s still a girl.
“Cut her slack, got it? Keep it safe before you chase stupid trophies.“.
“Chill, Jaylen!”
