CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake
Chapter 29
Shane grunted.
Natalie knelt down and began to tie the rope.
After she was done, she clapped her hands before standing up. Feeling satisfied with herself, she asked, “Mr. Shane, try moving a little. Does it feel tight?”
She was worried that her knot was too loose and that the rope would fall off easily. Hence, she tightened it slightly.
Unintentionally, as her words fell upon Shane’s ears, her innocent intention took a whole different meaning.
“Try moving a little, does it feel tight?”
Doesn’t she know that her suggestive words can be easily misunderstood?
Shane felt a hot flush creeping up to him. Tugging his tie to loosen it a little, he whispered in a low and hoarse voice, “It’s okay. Let’s go with this.”
At this moment, a middle-aged man stood upon the referee’s stand with a starter pistol and jovially announced, “Now, since the children’s group and the parents’ group are ready, I shall count to three. After the count, the race will begin. If the parents’ group loses, there will be a penalty awaiting!”
Penalty?
Natalie was stunned.
After all, there was no announcement whatsoever regarding penalty since the beginning.
“Don’t be distracted. The race has started,” Shane’s cold voice rang in her ears, jolting her from her thought. “He mentions that only the parents’ group will face the penalty. Plus, he has just given us a hinting glance on purpose. That obviously means that he intends for us to lose. If you don’t want to be the loser, the best way is to buck up and get serious!”
“Aight, I understand.” Nodding her head, Natalie became more serious.
She did not want to be on the receiving end of some unknown ridiculous penalty.
“Hug my waist,” Shane instructed.
Shane grunted.
Natalie knelt down and began to tie the rope.
Natalie was taken aback, thinking that she might have heard it wrong.
Natalie was taken aback, thinking that she might have heard it wrong.
Glancing at her, Shane caught on to her surprise and flatly explained, “In a three-legged race, the most crucial things are the tacit understanding and cooperation. Since don’t understand each other well, we can only rely on cooperation. Seeing that you are not tall enough to put your arm around my shoulders, the alternative is for you to hug my waist. We shall then walk as one. If we were to go on our own separate paces, we would definitely lose.”
Catching on, Natalie finally understood his intention. Initially, she had no idea where to place her hand. Now, she wrapped her hand around his waist consciously without hesitation.
Right at that moment, she caught a whiff of fresh mint passing by her nose, causing her to jolt back into old memories.
This scent... where have I smelled this before?
It is so familiar.
“If you’ll excuse me.” As Natalie was still trying to remember where she had sniffed the familiar scent, Shane put his arm around her shoulders and interrupted her thoughts.
For now, she could only focus on the race and put that aside.
“Ready, one, two, run!” The middle-aged man raised the starter pistol and pulled the trigger.
Bam!
Hearing the crisp and clear boom of the gunshot, Shane led the first step with the tied leg and firmly reminded, “Let’s go!”
“Aight.” Natalie quickly responded, focusing on keeping up with him so as to not hold both of them back.
Even though the two started well, they were still not as good as the two children.
