Bab 1066: Oozing charisma

Gerard, who moments ago had been struggling with the fact that he was not wearing a tie of a blazer, forgot his troubles at the sight of Lilith.

"My apologies for making you wait," he said, as he gave a light bow to show his sincerity. "I'll make it up to you in our next race by waiting at the finish line."

Lex's eyebrows shot up! So aggressive! Clearly this man had no shyness issue at all, so what did he need a wingman for? Shaking his head, Lex got off the cart as well and looked over to the other lady who was supposed to be his date.

Unlike Lilith, who was dressed in black and had red hair, his date was wearing a long, red dress and had pitch black hair that had been tied up in a bun. Her fair skin was free of any blemishes, and she looked quite enchanting in her dress. More importantly, he could tell by the way she stood that she was strong…

No, Lex! Don't assess the battle capabilities of your date!
