Hearing her words, Sheffield loosened his grip on Joshua abruptly and looked at the calm woman.

“Give me a chance to explain." Even though she had been caught in bed with another man, Evelyn still looked at him with a confident face.

The look in her eyes finally restored his senses. And Sheffield finally realized what he'd done. Without a second thought, he had beaten his best friend.

He looked at his fist and then at Evelyn. Shaking his head, he said,

"You don't have to explain. I understand.”

He had been too impulsive.

Sheffield glanced at Joshua and tossed his clothes to him.

"Get dressed. You know where to find me," he said.

After that, he left the hotel even though Evelyn was calling his name.

At the International Auto Raceway

A race had just finished. Crews flocked to the cars while race officials were there for the post-race inspection. Every car had to go through several checks both before and after the race. Some of the cars were being rolled onto an elevated platform where two of the inspectors were waiting, fitting a long aluminum template over the nose, roof and trunk of the car to check for irregularities.

Sheffield's car rolled in and he drew a crowd.

“What? Maestro Sheffield, you're here. I heard you'd hung up your helmet and weren't racing anymore. Are you back behind the wheel, then?"

Sheffield unfastened his seat belt and closed the door.

"Who said that?" he asked, glancing at the man.

"Joshua! He said your girlfriend told you not to race again!"

"Hahaha." The crowd burst into laughter.

"I didn't expect Maestro to be whipped. She must really be something."

Without looking at them, Sheffield answered angrily, "Bullshit! I race whenever I want. Just try and keep me away!"

"That's great. We thought we wouldn't see you on the race track again!"

Sheffield sneered and turned around to change his clothes.

The change was done soon. He sat in his car, ready to begin. Just then, someone shouted, “Hey, Sheffield, your girlfriend's here!"

“It's true! Maestro, your girlfriend and your BFF!"

“Wow, is that Maestro's girlfriend? She's totally hot!"

Sheffield, who had been so angry a second ago, now seemed to be in a panic. He threw open the car door and rushed to the dressing room.
