Duncan nudged Bennett when he saw a familiar face in the audience on the screen.

“Isn't that Aurora? Your wife's best friend?"

Duncan glanced around and soon spotted her in the crowd.

This is getting interesting! He thought.

“Is Claudia here as well?"

Bennett only glanced at him and chose to say nothing.

If it weren't for his burning curiosity about who CC was, Duncan, who had no interest in the race to begin with, might have already left. Growing bored, Duncan thought about going over to talk with Aurora. Just then, Aurora also spotted them.

She noticed Duncan and, of course, her eyes Landed on Bennett as well. Aurora suddenly froze. "Oh my gosh, this just got a whole lot more interesting!"

Confused, Amalia asked, "What happened, Aurora?"

Aurora gestured toward the VIP area.

“Do you see that good-looking man in the white shirt?"

A short distance away, Amalia squinted to get a better Look and finally recognized Bennett.

“Wow, he's quite the looker! Do you want to go ask for his number?"

Aurora felt a shiver run down her spine at Amalia's suggestion.

“Are you kidding? Take another look at who that is."

Amalia scrutinized Bennett's face more closely. The more she looked, the more familiar he became. Then she finally realized it. "Wait, isn't that CC's husband?"

She instinctively Lowered her voice, wary of others listening in.

“Yeah, that's him," Aurora responded, chuckling. "Can you believe how electrifying this all is?"

Amalia knew that Claudia had come to the race without telling Bennett, and Bennett was in the dark about CC actually being Claudia.

Now, with Bennett present at the venue and the anticipation of CC revealing her identity Later on, the level of excitement was absolutely through the roof!

As the two friends chatted away, the racers had already maneuvered their motorboats into position out on the water.

Claudia took her place and found herself instinctively looking back toward the audience, but it was impossible to see anything at that distance.

Bennett probably didn't come, she thought.

She couldn't make up her mind: part of her wanted Bennett to be there, while another part hoped he wouldn't show up.
