Best friend II Max Verstappen and Kelly Piquet (RQ)

You've been a close friend of the Verstappen kids for years now, in the formula 1 world you're part of the family. You tend to have that effect on people where they can trust you despite knowing you well or not and that's put to the test when Kelly decides to tell you some nerve-wracking news.

Growing up I was never very liked amongst my colleagues at school, I had this aggressive side to me, not physically but mentally, I was so determined and driven always to get whatever I set my mind to, and that just ticked people off when I was young. 

But when I was in middle school I found someone who just clicked with me like a piece of a puzzle, Victoria, she and I became best friends fairly quickly and one day I asked her why she didn't find me annoying like everyone else and she told me about her brother Max, who was very similar to me. 

A few days after meeting Victoria she'd invited me over to her house where I met this Max character she talked so often about and from the very first instant we both knew we'd get right along. 

Flashback: 

"Max we're home!" Victoria called out to her brother as we both made our way up to her room, on the way to she opened up her brother's bedroom door who was wearing nothing but boxers. 

"VICTORIA!" Both Max and I screamed at the same time before Victoria shut the door again. 

Victoria ran to her room and I ran with her before we heard Max's door open again and him running towards Victoria's room. 

"MAX PLEASE I DIDN'T KNOW!" She yelled in a panic holding her hands up defensively. I never had brothers or sisters of my own but I knew that this is how they got along. 

"COME HERE!" He yelled, charging towards her, now fully dressed. 

I stepped in front of Victoria defensively. "Don't touch her!" I said firmly. 

"Get out of my way!" He yelled at me. 

"No." I crossed my arms in front of me standing my ground. 

Max furrowed his brows at me. "Hmm..." he hummed, his posture adopting a more calm one. "I like this one Vic." He spoke to his sister before walking out of her room.

Even though our first interaction wasn't necessarily the best it was definitely a story that spoke to our character. So Victoria, Max, and I grew up really close after that, the Verstappen often invited me on family holidays and Jos and Sophie grew very fond of me, even after their split they both still went out of their way to check in on me. 

When Max got his job in F1 Vic and I were the first ones he called and I couldn't have been more proud of him. I had studied P.R. and management in school because working alongside Max and Vic was something I looked for apart from the fact that I was very good at both things. And luckily, a year into Max's career he hired me as his personal assistant.  

We both knew people said never to work with family and friends but we both were so happy working together we didn't see a problem and we both made it clear to keep our relationship at work strictly professional and not take any work things back home and we made it work. 

I was also there when Max and Kelly started seeing each other, I took pride in the fact that I arranged their first date together behind Max's back simply because he didn't have the guts to ask her out, I used his phone to text her, of course, he got mad at me for a bit but when she said yes he forgot all about it.
