Nathan reached out and wrapped his arm around Celine's shoulder. "Celine, let's stay in the same room."

Adam watched as Celine nodded. "Alright."

Adam pursed his lips when he saw she had agreed to stay in the same room with Nathan.

Celine noticed Adam's gaze and looked up, meeting his cold, dark eyes. She wondered what he was thinking. Her mind wandered back to their awkward exchange on WhatsApp the night before. She quickly looked away, trying to hide her discomfort.

The resort manager smiled and said, "Mr. Alvarez, Mr. Lynch, we have two presidential ocean-view suites: the Celestial Suite and the Terrestrial Suite. Which one would you prefer?"

Carly had already heard that the Celestial Suite offered the best view. She immediately smiled and said, "I'll take the Celestial Suite, Celine. You and Nathan can stay in the Terrestrial Suite."

Celine grinned at Carly's arrogant smile. "Carly, you and Mr. Alvarez can stay in the Terrestrial Suite; Nathan and I will take the Celestial Suite." Carly's face fell. Celine really didn't know her place, trying to steal the Celestial Suite from her.

"Adam, I want to stay in the Celestial Suite," Carly pouted, turning to Adam.

In reality, neither Adam nor Nathan cared which suite they stayed in. However, it seemed that Carly and Celine were competing over the rooms. The resort manager quickly intervened, suggesting, "How about we hold a competition, and the winner gets the Celestial Suite? That seems fair, right?" Carly was intrigued. "How do we compete?"

The manager replied, "There's a ten-minute drive to the oceanfront villa. We have two sports cars here. Let's race."

Carly grinned. "Alright. I'm in."

Celine nodded. "I'm in, too."

Carly looked at Celine with confidence. "Celine, you're definitely going to lose. Adam and Nathan race all the time. Nathan won't stand a chance against Adam." Carly then turned to Adam. "Adam, you have to win the Celestial Suite for me."

Adam glanced at Celine before getting into the car with Carly.

Nathan grinned. "Who knows who'll win this time?"

Adam wondered what he meant. He looked up just in time to see Nathan toss the car keys to Celine. She got into the driver's seat, with Nathan sitting beside her. Carly gasped in disbelief. "Celine, you're racing?"

Carly was surprised that Celine was the one racing against Adam. She couldn't believe Celine actually knew how to race.

She put on a large pair of black sunglasses, hiding her delicate face underneath. Turning to look at the men, she slowly smiled. "Mr. Alvarez, please be kind." Adam's eyes flashed with surprise. He hadn't expected Celine to know how to race. What surprised him even more was her confidence in challenging him.

"Ready, set, go!"

As the resort manager's words finished, both sports cars shot forward with a roar.

Adam had been racing for years and excelled in every field he entered. He was skilled at everything and rarely found a worthy opponent.

To his surprise, Celine's car stayed neck and neck with his, no matter how much he tried to pull ahead.

He was amused. Since she wanted to compete, he was more than willing to join in. A smirk tugged at Adam's lips as he suddenly swerved the steering wheel.
