The next day we wake up quietly with Chloe and we get ready to go for a quiet walk by the sea.

Charles hasn't written to me since last night, and neither has Leo, which means there's no new party where I'm going to be able to see him. I could suggest we meet, but I know he's really busy and I don't want him to think I'm pushing to see him or being too clingy. So I decided not to write to him again, at least for now.

The day passes quite quickly, it is now already 3 p.m. We sit on a terrace with Chloé for a drink. She takes wine and I take a spritz. We really have a good time laughing and talking only the two of us. In recent days we have been separated a lot since at parties we were not with the same people.

Chloe: Can I ask you a few questions about Charles and you?
Emma: Yes go ahead.
Chloé: We agree that he clearly made advances to you! And suddenly I wondered what you were going to do. Are you going to write to him? Ask him out on a date? What do you want to do? Because I remind you that in 5 days we leave Monaco so it's either you take your chance now or you miss it.
Emma: Yes I know we're going to leave but it's complicated. He's a guy who can have all the girls in the world, why would he want me?
Chloé: Maybe because in addition to being beautiful, you're smart, kind and compared to 3/4 of the girls he has to meet, you have a personality.
Emma: But I don't want him to think I'm desperate.
Chloe: Well you know what, you just have to make sure he comes to talk to you again.
Emma: And how do I do that?
Chloé: Do we agree that he added you on Instagram?
Emma: Uh yes.
Chloé: Perfect so we're going to take a super nice picture of you tonight when we go out and you're going to put it in hoping that he likes it and maybe even comments there.
Emma: We can yes but in my opinion he is not going to comment. But look, there's a story I wanted to do that might "work". I wanted to ask people if they had any advice for things to see or visit in Monaco and I think that maybe he will answer them.
Chloe: Yes it's perfect. Put the story now and tonight you put the photo.

So I post my story, hoping that he answers it. Since I have 10,000 followers on Instagram, I already have some answers. Some advise me to go to the casino, others to go to the Rocher or even to see the Saint-Nicolas cathedral.

With Chloe we decide to go to the casino tonight. We want to dress up and go see what it looks like. We don't intend to gamble because we don't like gambling. But in order to be the most beautiful tonight, we decide to go shopping and buy new dresses.

We go back to the hotel to put on the dresses we bought. Chloe took a dress that comes below the dark brown knees. It is quite tight, and there really highlights. For my part, I took a dark blue satin dress, which falls perfectly on my body. She has a slit that opens on my left leg which makes her look sexy without overdoing it. We both went out with a pair of stiletto heels to perfect our outfit.

We take our small bag and go take the taxi waiting for us downstairs to take us to the casino. We weren't going to walk with his shoes.

The casino is wonderful. The square in front is incredible, and it's absolutely the perfect spot to take pictures. There are dozens of cars, each more luxurious than the other, parked in front. It really makes you dream.

Chloe takes some pictures of me, and I do the same for her. We decided to post them once we were sitting quietly at the table.

The restaurant is just as beautiful as everything else. And the menu is amazing (but so are the prices). Chloé takes Rigatoni while I take a beef tartare. While waiting for our dishes, we post our photos. So I see that Charles still hasn't seen my story. But hey, it doesn't matter, he must be busy. I must have made films about everything that happened.

Our dishes were delicious. We really enjoyed it and decided to have a drink at the casino before returning to the hotel. We have a little cocktail. I decide to check on my phone to see if there's any news from Charles.

charles_leclerc a true beauty 😍

And I notice another notification.

@charles_leclerc replied to your story: what you have to see in Monaco is the prince's car collection, but if you want I can come and give you a private visit I know the owners well because I leave one of my formula one on display there.

My heart starts beating a lot faster. I shake Chloe to look at my phone. She is super happy for me and tells me to hurry up to answer.

@emma.carlier16: If you propose it like that and you have time before we leave, we'd be so happy to come with you to see it ☺️.

@charles_leclerc: For you I have all my time. How sounds tomorrow? We can see each other around 2 p.m.

@emma.carlier16: Yes perfect! Where do you want to meet?

@charles_leclerc: I pick you up at your hotel. Leo told me where you were so I know the address. But would you mind giving me your number like that if I can call you?

I blush like crazy in front of my phone and give her my number. I show the whole conversation to Chloé, of course, who is even happier than me. Now it's time to quickly go back to the hotel to quickly see you tomorrow.
