Chapter 699 The Makings of Success
Natalia smiled and said, “Thanks a million.”
“It’s nothing. I’ll go now. Don’t forget to check your text message.”
“Okay. Thanks.”
Not long after she hung up, a text message entered her phone as expected.
Natalia clicked it open and carefully read the address. She realized that it was a field she visited a long
time ago during her stay in Othua.
She deliberated for a moment and then sent the address to Nancy as well before putting away her
phone.
“Take down this address. We’ll be there in the next couple of days.” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Nancy took out her phone and checked the message. Then, she asked, “Is this the training field?”
Natalia nodded.
She had not raced for years after all. No matter how great a speed racer was before, if she had not
touched a racing car for so long, she would find it hard to regain her edge again.
Natalia only gave herself two days to familiarize herself with car racing again. That was already very
impressive.
Nancy silently memorized the address. About half a minute later, she put her phone back into her
pocket and said, “Sure. I’ve got it.”
Natalia nodded. Then, they paid the bill and headed out.
When they walked out of the restaurant, Nancy asked, “Where are we heading now? Back to the
hotel?”
Natalia consulted her watch and found that it was only eight in the evening.
She contemplated for moments and shook her head. “No, we’re not going back yet. It’s still early. How
about we go to see the training field?”
Nancy had long wanted to see her drive a racing car. Thus, when Natalia made this suggestion, her
eyes sparkled and she nodded feverishly as she said, “Great!”
Therefore, the two hailed a cab and went to the training field.
Natalia had been to this training field that Sam told her to go several times before.
But at that time, she spent most of her days in the training field of the Dragon Club.
Thus, she hardly ever visited the training fields on the outside.
For Natalia, this chance to revisit a favorite haunt was a precious experience.
The training field was not far away from the restaurant that they just dined in. It only took them a 20-
minute ride to get there.
They saw a row of eye-catching buildings ahead in the distance.
On the rooftop of the greyish buildings erected two large English letters—M.G.
Natalia knew M. G was the name of this place.
She had heard that M.G. also had its own racing team, which had ranked top several times. But it was
different from other racing teams. Unlike the Dragon Club, whose members all had different pursuits, its
members were racing just because they were interested in it.
This kind of training field was ideal for Natalia.
After all, given her status, her presence would invite unnecessary misunderstandings and trouble if she
went to any of the training fields owned by famous clubs.
But M.G was a neutral place, so she could practice without being distracted.
As Sam had informed the staff there of their arrival, when they entered the field, someone immediately
came over to greet them.
“Hello. Are you Mrs. Dawson and Miss Mayes?”
Natalia nodded.
Seven years had passed. Her temperament and appearance had both changed a little.
Plus, the people working here were not the same group seven years ago. Thus, it was normal that the
staff member didn’t recognize her.
“Nice to meet you. I heard that you’ve rented this place for car racing practice for two days, right?”
Natalia said, “Yes. Can we go in and take a look?”
“Of course. Follow me.”
Then, the staff member led them to the back.
The front area was a row of greyish buildings, while the back area was empty, which was used for car
racing.
On the left side parked a line of assorted racing cars. Natalia recognized several of them, which were
champions’ cars that had shone in many competitions.
Natalia picked a model that she liked and handed her stuff to Nancy. She told Nancy to sit on the side,
then grabbed the car key and climbed into the car.
“Natalia, come on!”
Nancy whooped for her from the side.
Nancy looked at her with a smile and winked.
Then, she started the engine. The car soon dashed out like an arrow.
Natalia’s biggest advantage in racing was that she was really fast.
She drove fast when the car was on a straight road as well as taking a turn. The car raced swiftly and
steadily. She was indeed an excellent driver!
Felix once said that Natalia was highly gifted in racing.
Though she didn’t start to learn racing until she was 18, she could drive better and steadier than many
who started since they were 13.
Admittedly, Natalia was a genius in racing.
On the Z-shaped track, Natalia’s car swerved smoothly and gracefully like a falling leaf.
Every time the car turned, drifted, or raced straightly forward, it manifested her unique dexterousness.
Nancy, who was sitting in the audience stand, watched her race with rounded eyes!
This was the first time she saw Natalia speed driving!
She found that Natalia was fricking cool!
Natalia looked like a gentle orchid when she was working in her office. But now, in a car flying on the
racing track, she was undoubtedly a hot wild rose!
She was fast, passionate, and spirited.
Nancy felt that her blood boiled as Natalia’s car made every movement.
Sitting in the audience stand, Nancy watched the race with excitement. She was dying to scream. But
the place was very quiet because not many people were around. So she was too embarrassed to
shout.
“Aaaaah! She’s so cool!”
“How can she be so awesome! She is the best!”
“I’m mesmerized!”
When Nancy was overwhelmed by exultation, Natalia felt a little depressed in the car.
As she expected, her skills had become rusty because she hadn’t practiced for too long.
She almost made mistakes when making several moves. Fortunately, this was just a practice. But if this
occurred in a top competition for professionals, she would become a laughingstock.
Natalia didn’t mind losing. But if everyone laughed at her… emm, that would be humiliating.
She didn’t want to lose, nor did she want to be humiliated.
Therefore, in the only two days she got, she needed to work extra harder.
With that in mind, that day, she didn’t stop practicing until it was almost midnight.
She had practiced for a good four hours. When she climbed out of the car, her clothes were soaked in
sweat.
Nancy was thrilled at first. But as the practice went on, she began to feel sorry for Natalia.
She was an experienced racer who had won so many competitions. But when she started with this
again after years, she still had to put in so much effort.
God knew how hard she worked when she just entered the game at 18 before she climbed to the top.
Most people only saw the glory and success the genius gained. Yet, they never knew how they
sweated and toiled behind the scene.
No genius could make it solely with the gift God bestowed. Success could only be achieved through
hard work.
One’s talent was only a ticket to the championship other than the ability to win the laurel.
Every person who was lucky enough to get to the top was the combination of one percent talent and
ninety-nine percent of perspiration.
