Book:This Is What You Came For Published:2024-5-28

A strange light flashed under Hendrix’s eyes, and with the referee’s command, he withdrew his gaze and got into the car.
The countdown to the race began on the big screen, and the referee was ready to blow the whistle and raise the flag.
Aubree nervously looked at the black and white car on the field, she was nervous to the point of not being able to breathe. This was her first time watching this exciting type of race, moreover Hendrix was also competing in it. Her expression slowly solidified and she unconsciously stood up.
The duration of the race was very short, but watching cars speeding one after another, especially seeing Hendrix’s car was almost knocked over several times, it was clear that Aubree was worried and nervous.
Luckily, Hendrix won the first place.
Aubree let out a sigh of relief and was ready to sit down but she was pushed from behind, she turned around and realized it was Pippa.
How did she get from the front row to the back row?
‘What are you doing here?” Pippa’s eyes were full of hostility, she looked at the Riley who was next to her and still immersed in excitement, she immediately became upset.
“Hendrix said a few days ago that he was going to give some tickets to his friends, but I did not expect the friend he was talking about was his ex-girlfriend here, this is ridiculous!”
Aubree did not want to argue with her so she ignored her, turned around and called Riley, “Riley, the game is over, can we leave now?”
Riley turned around, only then he saw Pippa. He also did not like Pippa, “Why did you come over here? Go back to your seat in the front row!”
“I’ve already told Mrs. Elliot that you are dating Aubree, they will definitely let Hendrix stay away from you after hearing that!” Aubree looked at the front row and saw Hendrix’s parents were looking at her way.
When Aubree met their eyes, she immediately turned around like a frightened deer and turned her back against them.
Her heart felt as if it was clogged with a stone with pointy edges, cutting through her heart, making her feel horrible.
“What are you talking about! What do you mean we are in a relationship, you…” Riley became angry, and as he wanted to continue arguing with Pippa, Aubree could not stand this torment anymore so she did not wait for Riley and walked out by herself.
She did not know which door to go out through, so she picked a door at random and walked in only to find out that she was lost.
Aubree looked around and found the sign for the fast track, and as she was just about to leave, she heard a group of people walking behind her talking and laughing.
“Who are you? How did you get over here?” A man opened his mouth and called out to Aubree.
She turned around awkwardly, but as she was about to apologized saying that she got lose, she met with a pair of eyes that she wanted to avoid so badly.
Hendrix was in the middle of the group. He was still smiling at first, but when he saw Aubree, his smile disappeared and his expression was inscrutable.
“Yo, whose girlfriend is this? It is yours? Or yours?” The man asked several people and they all shook their heads.
The man laughed and then he looked at Hendrix, “It couldn’t be yours, right?”
“I just … got lost, sorry, I’ll leave soon.” Hendrix just won the first place, he must be very happy, she did not want to remind Hendrix of his unpleasant past because of her.
The man saw that everyone did not know who Aubree, his eyes immediately became sly and stepped forward to block Aubree’s path.
“Hey, I forgot, this is my girlfriend!”
Aubree’s nerves jerked tightly and she subconsciously was about to dodge him but her path was blocked again.
“I don’t know you!” Aubree wrinkled her eyebrows and peeked at Hendrix, she actually had a trace of hope, hoping that Hendrix can help her out.
However, Hendrix’s right hand was in his pocket while his left hand was carrying the medal that he won, his expression was disdainful, and he even had the intention of watching the scene in front of him.
The expectation in Aubree’s eyes disappeared, she felt really ridiculous, Hendrix already hated her, so how could he possibly stand up for her like he did in the past.
“You can accompany racers like us for a meal, and you should be able to brag for about it for many days, let’s go, don’t be shy!”
Aubree saw the man’s hand was about to reach over, she clenched her fist.
