Hollywood Zenith

Paige didn\'t say anything and just leaped into his arm. She directly kissed him on his lips without caring about their surroundings.

Everyone was shocked. They did speculate about their relationship but their brazen display of love was enough to give them another bombshell.

There were roars and whistles all round followed by a loud applause. Samuel\'s mind went blank by her aggressive behaviour, he involuntarily reciprocated her advances which led to them kissing for few seconds.

" I don\'t mind. This was the best race I have ever seen. You don\'t know how sexy you look right now." After seperating she whispered so that no one else hear their conversation. Although she was blushing, she acted tough realizing what she just did.

" They might get the wrong idea. Are you sure about this?" It was too late to ask but Samuel didn\'t know them personally. It would spread like wildfire affecting her reputation.

" Do you think I care? Did you forget who I am? I am the fun girl!" She deflected the question.

" Why don\'t I believe you? Are you sure you can handle it?" Sensing some chink in her armour Samuel teased her.

" They are coming. You should talk to them." She seperated abruptly giving way to the people behind her. Samuel chuckled, It\'s not like he didn\'t like it. He still had some taste of her lipstick in his mouth, her lips were soft too.

Before anyone else could come forward, his opponent came forward with a stern look on his face. His British Lotus was very beat up too as he pushed it beyond it\'s limit to catch up to Samuel as much as he could.

People beside Samuel thought he didn\'t have enough but his opening line was total one eighty from the look on his face.

 "I have to say, you are the most impressive non-professional driver I have ever seen. Your skills are really powerful. It was my honor to be able to compete with you." His words were sincere.

"Thank you. We could do it again sometime, I always like a strong contender minus the bet." Samuel reached out his hand as they strongly shook hands. He didn\'t hate the guy personally, they were cordial since the beginning except for the issue with their bet.

" Don\'t worry, we will abide by our previous agreement."

" Yeah, you should go easy on them. I don\'t dislike rivalry but bullying is out of the option. I hope you can do it and if they ever trouble you, you can contact me." Samuel played for the both sides. He didn\'t want these second generation to become arrogant in his absence.

" haha, I will keep it in mind." After expressing his wished, he left with his people. They might have lost but they witness something incredible today, it was a humbling experience which smacked quite a few of them down from their high horse.

Everyone cheered once again, they liked the sportsmanship between them. They originally thought Samuel would definitely face a bitter defeat but they didn\'t expect that this young master was a greenhorn that they expected.

Even more they saw such great car skills that immediately made Samuel as their new idol that they would strive toward and look up to.

" Everyone! Today it\'s my treat! Follow me back to the hotel and you can drink and eat as much as you like!" Paige said domineeringly which pushed the atmosphere to the climax. She was like the person who was proud of her partner\'s achievement.

" Sister Paige!"

" All hail Sister Paige."

" Brother Samuel is great! Long live our hero!"

Several cringe cheers came one after another while Paige stood beside Samuel holding his hand up with pride. Wasn\'t he who won the race? Why was she so hyped?

...

...

...

When they arrived at the hotel, it became jammed packed with countless supercars under the envious gazes of passersby.

Leading the fleet was Samuel and Paige who were sitting in a Rolls-Royce that Paige summoned from the hotel. The pink Lamborghini was already out for the count with all it\'s tires busted due to Samuel\'s violent driving.

It was a martyr which was on it\'s way to the Lamborghini showroom for some much needed repairs. The company specifically send some professional mechanics to haul it back to their maintenance facility.

It was very silent inside their car except for the charming eyes of Paige who for some reason were fixed on his face. It was full of curiousness and love that was almost suffocating for Samuel.

She felt like she misjudged him massively, she always considered him playing it safe but for the first time in her life she had seen him dashing across while looking dangerously like some bad boy.

Samuel on the other hand was feeling a little awkward, he had tried talking with her several times but she would brush him off with one or two words. They also had a moment after the race which made things a little complicated again.

Having Paige so fascinated by him was a complex feeling as he felt she was very hard to get ones head around. It\'s like she was ready to eat him up if they were alone! He couldn\'t let that happen, at least not like this.

Suddenly her mind deviated when she thought about others. Iblis was still his official fiancee even if no one believed it. Maia that vixen also had considerable assets to woo him and Rosaline and Liliana who were second most closest girls when it came to intimacy.

Not to forget about her biggest rival Adele, whom he had known since childhood. She was sure they were more but these were her biggest opponents currently!

She sighed thinking about it, why was he always involved with a love scandal? It\'s like he purposely seek out pretty girls wherever he went! It\'s ridiculous!

But she couldn\'t deny the fact that there was no other like him in the whole world. Everything about him was excellent, no, unrivalled! It\'s like he was a highly toxic wine, the more one drank the harder they fall toward their demise!

Even when a girl knew it was poisonous, she would still drink it willingly and couldn\'t help to take another sip because of the otherworldly taste! It\'s like a self-perpetuating loop! She feared when she thought how many more \'rivals\' there would be in the future?

Now she was mad looking at his face, the hateful guy made her feel like some maiden in love! She! She was Paige Hyrick whom everyone wanted to have a drink with! How could this have happened?

" Paige? Is something wrong?" Feeling the change in her mood he suddenly asked. He couldn\'t possibly imagined the millions of thought in her head.

" No, nothing. It\'s just, you never told me how you learn to drive like that?" She adjusted her thought and asked curiously.

" You mean how I can be as good as a professional racer?"

" Precisely."

" It\'s nothing much. Didn\'t you see me driving one lap before the race started?"

" Yes? What\'s that had to do with anything. You were only checking the tracks right?" She didn\'t understand what he was implying.

"In that five minutes, I memorized everything. It\'s just theory that you need to carry out perfectly which I did. I also observed other racers in the past."

" Wait! That means you never driven that fast before? and you learned it in that short amount of time. Do you think I am stupid?" She crossed her arms hearing his absurd explanation.

" Well, yes. Practically everyone else is from my point of view. Didn\'t I learned Russian in half an hour in front of you during our trip to St Petersburg?"

" I thought you were pulling my leg at that time. How should I know if you didn\'t already know the language?"

" That\'s the point. You don\'t know but I am telling the truth."

" Before that did you called me stupid?"

" You are just getting it?" Samuel said with a poker face.

They stared at each other for few second before chaos ensued inside the vehicle. Samuel had to dodge her attack while simultaneously suppressing his laughter.

He didn\'t tell her any lies only hid some truths. It\'s lie by omission but she didn\'t know it. He couldn\'t possibly tell her that he had a system that helped him learn different skills in shortest amount of time? Who would believe such nonsense?

Paige also didn\'t delve into it much, she took it like any other time when Samuel would be especially mean to her to hide the truth. She would never tell him that, it was like an understanding from her part.

If he wanted to tell her he would do so someday, if not he must have his reasons. Others\' might not know his problems but being a Rothschild was stressful even more when one was this much capable.

She was happy that they had a common hobby for a change.
