Dalliance- [Max Verstappen]

[ S E V E N T E E N ]

After the Barcelona weekend is before the Monaco weekend. Racing through the tight street circuit where a brief mistake could cost you everything. Just brushing a wall, steering slightly too far or too little into a corner and you end up in the barrier. Still, the drivers love to race at this historical track and Daisy is excited as well. The timetable for this particular weekend will be a bit different than usual since the city still needs to function, but Daisy is sure it will not lead to any issues for the team.

Being back in the office means more time sitting in front of a screen instead of walking around, listening to different interviews and, making sure that neither Max nor the reporter says or asks anything inappropriate and while experiencing high-level racing.

Daisy would not have thought that Claire keeps being nice to her, but she brings the Finnish girl a cup of tea every morning and slowly Daisy starts to like the taste of herbs in the morning. She is still not sure why Claire is suddenly acting nice, but she also tries not to think too much about it and just enjoys it while it lasts. Maybe Claire will switch back to her mean behaviour quicker than Daisy thinks. But until this happens, they work side by side in their shared office and even went to get some lunch together. Daisy is sure they don't will be friends at the end of this internship, but at least they could no longer be something like enemies.

While Claire is not in the shared office right now Daisy does some last tasks for the day. Reading through an interview Max had earlier that day and which still needs to be approved by the PR team of RedBull before it could be released. Even though Daisy did this task several times already Vicky will always look over Daisy's work to make sure everything is okay.

"Daisy, do you have the plan for the media day ready?" It is Vicky's voice that rips Daisy out of her thoughts, and she lifts her head to look at her boss. The plan for the media day is a task that Daisy does for every race weekend now, slowly knowing about Max's likes and dislikes and Vicky does approve her structure, rarely changing anything, and that makes Daisy feel proud.

"Yes, and I already printed it out." Daisy smiles and reaches for her filing where she placed a printed version of her media day plan, but when she grabs the first sheet of paper it isn't the one, she printed out before, but something completely different. She looks at the filing but there is nothing more to be seen than the sheet of paper she already has in her hand.

"I am pretty sure I placed it here." Daisy frowns, wondering where the printed sheet has gone or did, she just forget to take it out of the printer. She looks to the side where the printer is located, but there is no sight of the printed-out media plan.

"You can also send me an email with it, I just want to have a look at it." Vicky smiles at her, not pressuring Daisy to have a printed version of the plan ready and Daisy nods, opening the files on her computer. She looks into the file she created for the Monaco weekend and her heart drops.

"I..." Daisy stutters, not knowing what to say and how this could happen. The file is not empty, but her document with the plan isn't in there either. She quickly types the title of the document into the search bar, but nothing pops up.

"Is something wrong?" Vicky asks, coming closer to take a look at Daisy's screen and the Finnish girl never felt more fear during her internship than right now. She created the file, saved it multiple times and even printed it out, but there is still no trace that she really did her work.

"The file is missing." Daisy manages to say and doesn't dare to look up into Vicki's face, where she is sure to see disappointment. How could this happen?

"Are you sure you did the task?" Vicky asks and for a moment Daisy does not know what to answer. Obviously, she did the task, checked it off her daily plan and she even remembered finishing it. Clicking on the print button and placing it on her filing, all of this and it is still missing.
