"Alright, let's not waste time. Everyone to your positions," Gideon said dismissively, clearly not taking Kaia seriously. In his mind, it was impossible that Conrad had brought the real Gale. She was likely just a stand-in for the show.
Kaia was about to get in the car when she felt a searing gaze on her back. She turned and locked eyes with Tobias in the crowd.
He was staring intently at her, making her feel a flicker of unease.
'Did he recognize me? There's no way. I'm wrapped up tight,' she reassured herself.
It didn't surprise her that Conrad recognized her. She had deliberately given him a hint earlier.
"My goddess!" Russell was almost bouncing with excitement. "Tobias, I finally get to see my idol again! But you're done for now. If Gale's here, the Pioneer Retreat rights are as good as gone."
"You're sure she's really Gale?" Tobias frowned.
"Absolutely, no doubt about it!" Russell insisted.
"How do you know?" Tobias asked.
"You wouldn't get it. It's a man's intuition!" Russell declared confidently.
Tobias twitched the corner of his mouth, speechless. 'I don't get it? So I'm not a man now?'
Still, his eyes never left Kaia.
"Doesn't she remind you of someone?" he asked.
Russell turned to him. "Who? Your fiancée, Kaia?"
Tobias was speechless again. "What makes you think that?"
"How else am I supposed to think? You see someone for two seconds and say she looks like your fiancée. You've barely been away from her, and you're already seeing things," Russell teased.
Tobias gave him a look that told him to think harder.
Then, after a pause, he said, "Don't you think the way she's completely covered up, her figure, her posture, her aura... It's a lot like Dr. Bennett?"
"Wait, what?" Russell blurted out, genuinely stunned by Tobias's words.
Russell mocked, "Tobias, you really know how to drop a bomb. How have I never noticed your wild imagination before? You're saying she's like Dr. Bennett? You mean the legendary racer Gale is actually the nation's top scientist, Dr. Bennett herself? Do you believe that?"
"I only said they look alike. I didn't say they're the same person," Tobias replied.
Russell said, "Of course they're not the same person! Dr. Bennett spends all her time buried in research. She's an irreplaceable scientific leader! How could she possibly find time to race cars? Even if she did, are you telling me she could just casually become a legend in the racing world?"
"Besides, with her status, would the authorities even let her do it? Racing is high-risk. If she got hurt, the loss would be… Unimaginable." Russell shook his head, clicking his tongue.
Kaia sneezed just as she fastened her seat belt.
'Someone must be talking about me,' she thought.
Through the rearview mirror, she caught Tobias still looking her way.
'Could it be him?' she wondered.
Conrad walked over and, in a voice only the two of them could hear, asked quietly, "Miss Bennett… you're really Gale?"
"Yeah," Kaia nodded.
Conrad sucked in a sharp breath. He had guessed it, but it still left him stunned.
He said, "So that's why you're never at the company. You've been out racing all this time."
Kaia raised an eyebrow. She actually wanted to reply, "I'm not racing, I'm doing research." But she let it go.
