Fatal Love:CEO, please let me go

Chapter 73 There Was a Problem with the Engine



When everyone heard this, they were a little surprised.

“Yesterday, I lost and was splashed with two buckets of water. Of course, I was a little unwilling. Today, for the sake of getting rid of my shame, let’s compete again in the same groups.”

When he said this, some people agreed, and some female colleagues darkened their faces and refused to agree.

If they still followed yesterday’s grouping, wouldn’t Damon still be in the same group as Adele? They naturally were not happy.

The male colleagues, who were led by Daniel, did not realize this at all. They clapped their hands and said that they wanted to have another match with Damon.

Even if the female colleagues were reluctant, they did not say anything in front of Damon. They glanced at Adele with dissatisfaction and then dispersed.

Shirley stood beside Adele and touched her excitedly. She winked at her crazily.

Adele naturally understood what she meant. She smiled embarrassedly and looked up. She saw Damon standing on the shore and looking at her.

Damon had ulterior motives. She knew in her heart that he had done so much for her.

She stepped forward, but her heart was unconsciously nervous.

“Let’s go?” the man’s voice rang in her ear.

Adele nodded and followed him to the boat.

When all the teams got on the boat, the staff looked at the time and reminded them, “The competition time is one hour. Gather here in one hour and we will get your red lags counted.”

After making clear the rules, with a whistle from the staff, all the electric boats began to move, scattering toward the vast lake.

Damon sat on the bow of the boat and drove the boat. Adele sat behind him and could smell the faint fragrance on his body.

After a while, their boat was at the front. Adele looked at the scenery around her and slowly relaxed.

There was no communication between the two. After a while, Damon finally turned his head slightly and took the initiative to ask, “Do you want to try?”

Looking at the man controlling the steering wheel of the electric boat, Adele suddenly became interested. “Can I try?”

“Come here.”

Adele carefully moved forward.

Looking at the woman’s hesitant little hand, Damon said, “Give me your hand.”

Adele obediently reached out her hand.

Then, her hand was gently grabbed by the man, and under his guidance, she grabbed the steering wheel.

Damon patiently instructed her on how to steer the boat.

Adele repeated it in her heart, nodded, and tried to step on the accelerator. Sure enough, the boat suddenly accelerated and rushed forward.

“Yes, that’s it. Hold the steering wheel.” The man’s voice sounded in her ear.

Because the two of them were very close, Adele could feel the warmth of his breath blowing on her ears. Unconsciously, her ears began to heat up.

Damon turned his head and looked at the woman beside him. His lips trembled as he called out her name, “Adele.”

The reason why he had chosen to be with her during the game was to ensure her safety and to create time for the two of them to be alone. He had something to tell her.

Adele held the steering wheel and looked straight ahead. “Huh? What’s wrong?”

“If there comes a day when I need your help, will you help me?”

Hearing the man’s extremely serious tone, she was stunned at first, then immediately nodded and said with certainty, “Of course, I will!”

Hearing this, Damon breathed a sigh of relief. He said in a low voice, “Actually, I need your…”

Suddenly, the bow of the ship tilted and crashed straight into the reeds next to it. Before Damon could finish speaking, he felt something strange and suddenly reacted. He hurriedly reached out and grabbed the steering wheel.

The steering wheel was straightened, and the body of the boat shook violently. Out of inertia, Adele’s body also hit Damon.

Bang! Adele was stunned. After pausing for two seconds, she realized that she had turned the steering wheel wrong at some point!

“I… I’m sorry.”

She subconsciously opened her mouth and turned around to see Damon frowning.

“You… What’s wrong?” Adele hurriedly asked. She thought of the clear sound of the collision just now. She looked at the iron bars on the side of the ship and then looked at Damon. Only then did she react. “You hit your head? Let me see.”

“I’m fine,” Damon said in a low voice as he dodged her hand.

It seemed that today was not a good time to explain the truth to her.

Adele blamed herself in her heart. Suddenly, there was a boat next to them. It was Daniel and another male colleague. They whistled at this side and then waved their little red flag provocatively at them.

Seeing them, Adele remembered that they were still in the game. Although their boat was leading, Daniel and the others had already found one of the little red flags!

Damon turned to look at Adele and found that she was staring at the boat in front of her with bright eyes.

He felt a trace of reluctance in his heart. On such a happy occasion, it seemed a little cruel for him to tell her these things.

He might as well just play with her today. It could be considered making up for her.

“Do you want to win?” he asked in a soft voice.

“Yes,” Adele nodded affirmatively.

“Alright, then let’s go find the red flags!”

The boat slowly sped up and gradually approached the bushes. Adele stuck her head out and finally saw a bit of red in the bushes.

“There is a red flag over there!”

Damon looked over and saw the red flag. He slowly slowed down and approached the weeds. He reached out and pulled the red flag out of the soil.

Adele took the red flag and waved it excitedly. “This is great! Let’s continue searching!”

The corners of Damon’s lips curled into a faint smile as he continued to sail.

Along the way, they actually found five red flags very smoothly!

Looking at the time, there were still more than twenty minutes left. Damon looked at the woman beside him and asked, “Do you want to find more?”

“Yes,” Adele nodded.

This time, they had to win! Previously, they had lost because she had dragged Damon down, but this time, she would definitely team well.

Damon continued to sail, leaving most of the ships behind. The ship circled the bushes left and right, and Adele saw a red flag tied to the bushes.

“There is one there!”

The position of the red flag was a little high, and both sides were muddy. Damon carefully approached, took off the flag, and retreated to sail.

“Buzz Buzz-”

For some reason, the boat did not retreat, but instead, it rang a few times.

“What’s wrong?” Adele asked, stunned.

Damon tried to step back again, but the boat still hummed a few times, and there was no sign of retreat on the body of the boat.

After several tries, the boat was motionless, as if it was stuck, but there were no obstacles around.

Damon’s expression became serious. He looked at Adele and said seriously, “I cannot move the boat anymore.”

“Could it be that something stuck underneath?” Adele was a little confused.

Damon picked up the spare paddle on the boat and pressed it against the mud. The boat slowly moved outwards.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“The boat can still move and is not stuck. Maybe there’s something wrong with the engine.” Damon felt uneasy.

Hearing this, Adele immediately realized that the situation was more serious than they had imagined. She immediately took out her phone and said, “I’ll call for help now…”

Halfway through her words, she saw the phone signal that was half full, and her movements froze.

If there was no signal on the phone, how could they ask for help?
