If she let Bennett help her with the protective gear, it would be quite embarrassing with so many people watching.

It was the weekend, and the race course was jam-packed with people. Bennett knitted his brows, but he didn't say anything. He simply let Claudia take the knee pads from him.

Claudia almost dropped the knee pads when she grabbed them.

She didn't expect them to be a bit heavy.

He didn't see me fumble just now, did he? Claudia thought.

She glanced at Bennett and saw him looking at her. Feeling a bit tense,

Claudia averted her gaze and sat down on the nearby bench.

“Uh, which side is the top and which side is the bottom on this thing?" Claudia murmured to herself.

Claudia pondered for a while but couldn't figure it out.

Finally, with a red face, she turned to Bennett for help. "On second thought, Mr. Dreskin, I don't think I know how to put these on.“

She was really embarrassed. She was just a novice in this activity.

Bennett glanced at her but said nothing. He just took the knee pads and squatted down in front of her. He instructed, “Straighten your leg, please."

Claudia obediently followed.

Not far away, a young child piped up, "Mom, that young lady doesn't know how to put on the knee pads by herself."

Turning bright red once more, Claudia was speechless.

Looking mortified by her kid's tactlessness, the child's mother repeatedly apologized to Claudia.

Keeping her composure, Claudia said, “It's okay. It's my first time riding, so I'm not familiar with the routine.”

But the truth was, she just couldn't figure it out!

"Please keep your left leg straight, Mrs. Dreskin," Bennett blurted out.

Hearing the words "Mrs. Dreskin", Claudia felt her heart Leap to her throat.

She quickly looked away and stretched out her left leg. "Okay."

She also gave up trying to put on her waist protector by herself and let Bennett help her.

She kept still as Bennett moved his hands from the front to the back of her body. Even though he wasn't actually embracing her, Claudia still felt like he was.

She looked at Bennett, who was focused on fastening her waist protector, and her heart raced faster.
