In fact, Lance was right. The clothes fit perfectly.
Looking at the handsome man in front of her, Deanna's eyes sparkled as she propped up her chin and said, "When I saw this outfit, I thought it would suit you. Indeed, my taste is excellent."
Hearing this, Lance couldn't help but chuckle. "Who praises themselves like that?"
"Now someone does."
Deanna raised an eyebrow and smiled mischievously. Then she remembered something and asked, "Today, Dayton came to see you to discuss the competition. Did you agree?"
Lance nodded. "Yes, I agreed. The competition will be next Wednesday."
Upon hearing this, Deanna's eyes lit up.
"Do you have confidence in winning? I've heard that Dayton has been studying racing for years and even participated in international competitions."
"Why, don't you have confidence in me?"
Lance squinted his eyes.
Deanna noticed something off in his expression and smirked. "Of course I do. Just asking."
Seeing Deanna's feigned smile, Lance decided not to expose her.
...
In the blink of an eye, the day of the competition arrived.
Thanks to Dayton's recent publicity, many people knew that Lance would be racing against the young master of the Poole family.
As a result, many spectators gathered at the scene.
Ollie and the others were also present.
They had heard about Lance's upcoming race and purposely cleared their schedules to attend.
"Lance, who is this Dayton? Why did you agree to race against him?"
"Aren't you usually not interested in playing this kind of thing, racing cars?"
"Lance, you're hiding something from us!"
Each of them spoke one after another.
Deanna stood by, observing the three of them with curiosity shining in her eyes.
Indeed, outstanding people attract equally outstanding friends.
Although these three friends were slightly less attractive than Lance, they each had their own unique qualities and different personalities.
Deanna's curious gaze caught the attention of Ollie and the others.
"Why are you looking at us like that, Deanna?"
"Just didn't expect that Lance would have such handsome friends. Quite pleasing to the eye."
Deanna openly replied when she realized she had been discovered.
Ollie and the others were taken aback and instinctively looked at Lance.
Seeing Deanna's playful expression, despite feeling a hint of jealousy, Lance embraced her and explained, "Deanna had an accident and temporarily lost her memory."
He paused for a moment and then pointed at the three friends, introducing them to Deanna.
"These three are my good friends. This is Ollie Houghton, this is Ethan Thomas, and finally, Jenson Jordan."
"Nice to meet you all."
Deanna greeted them with a gentle smile.
Ollie and the others nodded hesitantly, still trying to process the news they had just heard.
At that moment, Deanna spotted Julia and quickly broke free from Lance's embrace. She said, "I see Julia. I'm going over to join her."
Without waiting for Lance's approval, she walked away.
Watching her retreating figure, Lance's face showed a mixture of helplessness and indulgence.
Ollie and the others finally regained their senses and immediately asked, "Lance, what happened? How did Deanna lose her memory?"
Lance briefly explained what had happened earlier.
After listening, Ollie and the others were filled with emotion.
Lance and Deanna's relationship had truly been full of ups and downs.
"But with so much happening, why didn't you ask us for help? Do you consider us outsiders?" Ollie realized something belatedly and looked unhappy as he stared at Lance.
Jenson and Ethan also noticed this situation and gazed at Lance with a hint of concern.
Lance smiled lightly at his concerned friends. "I was in a hurry at the time and didn't think too much about it. Next time, if something happens, I will definitely let you know."
"That's more like it. You must inform us." Ollie reluctantly expressed his satisfaction.
On the other side, Deanna had joined Julia.
"Deanna, there are so many people here. Don't tell me they all came to watch Mr. Mercer compete against Dayton?" Julia excitedly looked around.
Lionel watched her restless behavior anxiously and quickly reached out to protect her, afraid that she might stumble and fall. He muttered under his breath, "Be careful, be careful. Don't bump into anyone."
"Oh come on, don't be so cautious. I'm not made of glass that will shatter with a touch."
Julia was rendered speechless by his constant nagging.
However, Lionel paid no attention and insisted, "There are so many people here. If you fall down, there's a high chance someone will step on you."
"You're exaggerating."
Although she said that, Julia still restrained her movements a bit.
Listening to their conversation, Deanna couldn't help but feel that coming here was a mistake.
She had originally come to talk to her friends but ended up being forced to witness their affectionate display. It was too uncomfortable!
Lance, wherever you are, she also wants to show affection!
Deanna decided to ignore these two lovebirds and went back to find her fiance.
