PS. From now on there will be only one point of view, that of Sophia. It will be important for the continuation of the story 😊 🙏🏼❤

《We will never make it》《But stop and run. Maybe next time you will stop wanting to go out before an important meeting》
Obviously Rebecca and I missed the return flight and the race to the Autodrome was an adventure. Christian would certainly have killed us. The bresfing before a race was and is sacrosanct, especially before a probable victory that would have meant the lead in the standings against rivals from Mercedes. I got caught up in enthusiasm. "Or maybe you wanted to escape from your thoughts" someone would have said, yes, I could already feel it in my head but I didn't give it any weight.
《Here, look, they're coming in now, we're on time》《Rebecca was fine with you, I won't get involved in your silly ideas anymore. And now hurry up》《Okay mom, sorry》I slapped her on her arm to make her walk, after hugging her. After all, if I hadn't had her ...《Ah, Sophia and Rebecca, welcome. We were just waiting for you. Can you sit down so let's get started?》I wanted to bury myself in shame. It wasn't true that the meeting had yet to begin. I smiled and took a seat in front of Max and Daniel who in the meantime laughed at us.《After that I'll give you another good reason to laugh Verstappen, don't worry》 I suggested softly.《But what do I have to do with it? Blame it on Daniel》《I'll take it with him for other reasons too》《Don't worry, I'll take it out with Max later》 Rebecca replied taking place next to me and turning to finally pay attention.

《Christian, I wanted to apologize first. We were late because we didn't realize the time》《Sophia, you don't have to justify yourself, don't worry. Rather, I wanted to talk to you about that document you presented in my office. In short, I did not expect it, here》《Well, yes, let's say it's a decision I had actually made weeks ago. Actually, now I don't even know what I want》《Ok, so let's do this: you think about it and then you tell me the final decision, ok? It is useless to tell you that I hope for a positive feedback from you, you are a fundamental part of the Red Bull family and this too Helmut knows.》I tried not to cry but as usual my emotions betrayed me in the crack of my voice.《Thanks Christian, I hope I never have to disappoint you》
In response he smiled at me and dismissed me with a light pat on the shoulder. I did not remember the famous document I presented to him weeks before until it was he who reminded me of it. And actually I didn't even remember why I made such an important decision.
I picked up the phone and immediately sent a message to which the recipient did not fail to respond immediately.

《You didn't tell me about it at the time》《I know Lewis, sorry》I squeezed the cup of coffee tightly in my hands, as if to turn my knuckles white. Lewis was obviously the only person I could discuss the matter with.《So what was the reason?》《Do you believe me if I tell you I don't remember? To tell the truth, I don't even know why I don't want to do it anymore》《Oh no? Mh》《It is useless for you to look at me like that. Daniel has nothing to do with it》《Oh oh, wait a minute》 I looked at him curiously. He laughed but I didn't really know what he found amusing in that situation.《Since he became "Daniel"》《Oh never come on, Lewis, please》I kicked him from under the table and the Englishman smiled at me but he didn't answer. He just looked at me, almost making me suggestive.《Why are you looking at me like this?》《Like this. You're going to have to give Christian an answer sooner or later, right? Well, then let me know, I'm very interested. Now I have to go, I have to beat your boyfriend》《But which guy? Lewis, don't overdo it》With a kiss on the cheek he took his leave leaving me once again alone with my thoughts.《Oh, are you Sophia? I had a friend with this name, but then she suddenly disappeared》I recognized his voice right away and for the second time I felt really good. I ran over him to hug him, actually I had been a bad friend in the last few weeks.《Sebastian》

The air in the paddock was so sharp that no one dared to utter a word. These were the last races of the season and the possibility that everything could fade away at any moment was very high. Daniel got ready to go to the track exchanging the last tricks with the mechanics. I remembered that I was professional and that, after all, I had made sacrifices to be where I was.I coughed to signal my presence, not that it was important, of course.《Can I help you wear your helmet on the track?》Daniel did not answer immediately, perhaps amazed by my request. He just looked at me curiously.《Would you really do it?》《If I asked you, obviously I think so》《Okay thanks》
I didn't know how, I didn't know why, I didn't know the way, but the chill was back between us. But not the kind of chill I felt before I knew it, but that kind of feeling mixed with fear, tension and disappointment.
The funny thing was that I still didn't know about the tornado that was going to invade me.
