Chapter 222
When the car stopped at the East District Racecourse, Eva had just gotten out when she saw Henry standing at the entrance.
He was dressed in a crisp equestrian outfit, tall and handsome. As soon as he saw her, a smile appeared on his lips. “Ms. Hansen p>
Eva didn’t expect him to come out and wait for her, so she hurriedly ran over with her bag.
“Mr. Davis, why are you here p>
“Ms. Hansen.” Henry took the initiative to speak again, “If you don’t mind, you can call me Henry p>
Eva wondered if she dared to do so. They were not particularly familiar, how could she address him like that?
“Mr. Davis, I’m afraid that wouldn’t be appropriate p>
Hearing this, Henry narrowed his eyes, gave her a meaningful look, and finally said, “Alright, then continue calling me Mr. Davis for now, and we can change later p>
Eva could only nod. “Okay, Mr. Davis p>
“Let’s go, I’ll take you inside p>
With that, Henry grabbed her wrist and led her into the racecourse.
Eva hadn’t even had time to react before she was dragged in. The racecourse was large, with many people coming and going. Henry took long strides, not considering whether she could keep up or not. Eva tried to free herself but couldn’t shake off his grip, so she had to quicken her pace to keep up with him.
As they walked, Henry asked, “Can Ms. Hansen ride a horse p>
Eva replied, “I’ve never tried p>
“Well, that’s good. If you’ve never tried, then you don’t need to. You won’t have to ride later p>
After all, he would be the one taking her for a run.
However, Eva didn’t understand the meaning behind his words and merely let him pull her forward.
She didn’t try to break free afterward because Henry’s actions didn’t have a hint of intimacy. He just pulled her along and seemed to only want to bring her to their destination. “That’s it, nothing more p>
After a while, Henry released her hand. “We’re here p>
Eva’s calves were sore from walking, but she sighed with relief when Henry let go of her hand. They had finally arrived.
She discreetly flexed her wrists and ankles before coming to a stop.
Not wanting to waste any time, Eva immediately thought of handing the suit jacket in her hand to Henry when he suddenly exclaimed, “Found them, come with me.” What? Confused, Eva followed him.
The noisy crowd gradually quieted down, and many people focused their gaze on her, examining her.
After a moment, someone asked, “Mr. Davis, a new love interest p>
Giving the person a scornful glance, Henry replied, “What’s it to you? Stop gawking and move along p>
Despite his harsh words, those people were still grinning. It was evident that Henry usually mingled with them and often spoke like this.
A thought occurred to Eva: Looks can be deceiving.
Those people’s gaze remained fixed on Eva, and it seemed more like they were captivated by her rather than curious about Henry’s new interest.
Her attire wasn’t particularly glamorous, even quite simple.
Simple trousers, a black coat, and a khaki-colored scarf. Her black, silky hair was neatly pinned back.
An extremely simple outfit, but it made them, accustomed to grandeur, take notice. However, that was also because of the woman’s outstanding features and temperament. Bright, ethereal eyes with a hint of coldness, a delicate nose, and rosy lips adorned her fair, exquisite face.
After a while, someone couldn’t help but exclaim, “Mr. Davis has found himself a gem this time p>
Eva didn’t hear what they said. She only wanted to discuss investment with Henry, so she followed him.
Lost in her thoughts about how to bring up the topic later, Eva did not sense anything amiss.
It wasn’t until Henry led her to the edge of the lawn and shouted while waving his hand towards people galloping in the distant racetrack. Eva followed his gaze. “Adrian, over here p>
As Eva’s eyes fell upon the person atop the horse, her smile instantly vanished.
How is this possible… such a coincidence?
It had been over half a month since what happened last time, and Eva had been busy all this time.
She thought that it should be in the past by now. Chicago wasn’t Adrian’s territory; he should have returned to New York long ago.
But who knew he was still here.
As their eyes met across the distance, Eva instinctively turned to run.
However, Henry, by her side, intentionally or unintentionally, grabbed her arm.
“Ms. Hansen, let me introduce our opponent later, Adrian from Blackwood Business. You should know him, right p>
Eva’s lips turned pale.
It was more than just getting to know each other p>
Henry, seemingly afraid that she would run away, smiled as he said, “I’ll have a competition with him later. How about Ms. Hansen riding my horse p>
She wanted to leave now.
However, the men in the field had already noticed her and narrowed their eyes dangerously. The next moment, one of them dismounted and walked towards them with big strides. Adrian looked handsome in his equestrian attire, but his icy gaze made him exude an aura that kept people at a distance.
Before he even reached them, Eva could feel his sharp eyes piercing her face.
“Adrian, let me introduce you. This is my companion for later p>
Adrian stood in front of them, unabashedly examining her. “Companion p>
Henry raised an eyebrow. “How about it? Isn’t my companion impressive? To make it fair, why don’t you choose one too p>
Among the onlookers was a girl who overheard their conversation and immediately ran over.
“Mr. Blackwood, let me be your companion. I’ve learned horseback riding and I’m not afraid p>
After speaking, she flashed Adrian a sweet smile.
Henry glanced at her. “Alright then, it’s you p>
However, no matter what Henry and the girl said, Adrian’s gaze remained fixed on Eva’s face.
Direct and sharp.
Eva lightly bit her lower lip, thinking of how to refuse, but Henry interrupted, “Then you two go change into your equestrian attire.” “No, I think p>
The girl standing beside them immediately took the initiative to grab Eva’s arm. “Let’s go change together p>
As they walked, she asked, “How did you meet Mr. Davis? Are you his new girlfriend? I’m so envious of you p>
