Chapter 564 - The Showcase Area

Her team already knew that they were coming. Jacob has already given them a heads up. And they also knew why Jacob brings her there on the day of her birthday. It was to give her her present.

J steps out of the car and looks around the repair shop. She visits there once in a while sometimes with Jacob, sometimes with Arthur's Team. Whenever she is getting bored and had nothing to do, she visits there to gets her hands dirty.

It is the place where all the modifications with her race cars were done. When her first car was totaled in an accident at Naupaka Racing Circuit, it was shipped there to be repaired. But J didn't know that the repair has already started.

When she needed a new race car, Jacob ordered a new one and had it modified there.

They could actually handmade a new race car for J but the time is limited. So Jacob had to order abroad and just let the team modified it based on J's preference.

Race cars or stock cars are different from streetcars. Almost every part of a race car is handmade from its body to the engine.

"Come," Jacob put his hand on J's lower back and led her to her team who is already waiting for her.

To her surprise, another bouquet of flowers was presented to her by Buck. "Happy Birthday, Miss J." Then the rest of her team greeted her at once.

J looked at them then to Jacob with a gaping jaw. She never spends her birthday at Black Heiress Team or anywhere except at CLP Hospital or Diana's apartment because Diana would always prepare a simple celebration for her since five years ago.

So, there are not a lot of people who knew her birthday.

She now wonders, whom else did Jacob told about her birthday?

"Thank you, guys," J said a little embarrassed.

After that, everyone scattered away to do their jobs.

J looked at Jacob with a raised eyebrows. "Did you just take me here so that I could be greeted by my team? You know I never like the idea of a lot of people knowing about my birthday or anything about me."

"I'm sorry," Jacob said apologetically. "But, it just can't be helped." He shrugs his shoulder.

"Come here." Then Jacob leads her out of the repair shop towards the building in the front. Buck silently followed them.

The first floor of the building is the showcase area where the cars used by Black Heiress and Hans were displayed. As well as their fire suits and Black Heiress's symbolic helmets that she used ever since she started her career.

There were also news clips, photos and of course, trophy's that she received throughout her racing career.

The showcase area and the souvenir shop that is located on the second floor is usually open to the public, but today, J noticed that it is closed.

Inside the showcase area, J looked around. It was well lit, the whole place is painted white, and the floor is delightedly luminous white as well giving the whole place a clean look.

Upon looking around, J noticed something. Usually, the showcase area has five cars on display. Three of them were Han's race cars that he used throughout his racing career while the other two cars were the cars that Jacob recently bought abroad and modified by her team.

One is her winning car while the other one is the one she is using during practice at Naupaka Racing Circuit.

Then she looked at an obviously another car that is covered with black cloth with curiosity.

"What's this?" She asked.

"It's uhm... a present from the team." Buck from behind replied. "Well of course, under the strict supervision of your husband."

J looked at Jacob with a quizzical smile because she more or less already has an idea of what is under the black cloth.

"Check it out." Jacob cocked his head. They were already standing in front of it.

J takes a step and reached out to pull that black cloth.

"Oh my God!" J said then she bit her lip trying to avoid a tear from falling. Although, she has already thought about this but she still hasn't prepared herself from the surprise.

It hasn't reached noon yet but she has already received a number of surprises. She is afraid that she'll have a heart attack at the end of the day.
