The Wolff against the Bull

Chapter 11

Emma pov:

I was still a bit in shock when Amanda came out with our food. I couldn't believe that they were gonna get divorced. It seemed a bit surreal to me. They had an amazing family together and seemed like they were happy. I guess you never know what happens behind closed doors. "Okey, tell me everything! From the beginning" I said. I really wanted to know what had happened.

"Well, it all actually started before the start of the season. During winter break last year, they both felt like they weren't as happy as they used to be. They decided they were gonna try this year to spend more time together and see if they got back the spark they used to have. Thats also why Geri has been coming to more of the races this year. Honestly, the relationship got worse in my opinion but I didn't think they were gonna just give up like that. Geri spent some time home alone during the last races and decided to move out during the last race. She told him when he got home. He's heartbroken even though he didn't really wanna stay in the relationship. He just feel broken about not having the life he's used to have. But he's gonna be alright. It's just a lot to process for him." Gaby told me.

She was speaking in a low voice, which I understood considering the kids didn't even now about it yet. I knew I was probably one of the few people that actually knew about it. I obviously felt sorry for both Geri and Christian. It must be though coming to the conclusion that the one you thought was the one, isn't. I especially felt sorry for the kids, they're probably gonna get devastated when they get the news.

"Who else knows?" I asked. "Well, you and me. Christian and and Geri obviously. The divorce attorney and maybe some friend and family." Okey so basically no-one knew. This was something I needed to keep my mouth shut about. "When will they go public?" I asked Gaby.

"They're not hundred percent sure yet but sometime around new years. Definitely before the new season start." Gaby told me. I could understad that Christian wanted to got public with it before the season started. If it got out during the season, the focus wouldn't be about the races but on the divorce. He would be questioned about if he was able to do his job properly and every mistake Red Bull went through would be blamed on Christian and his divorce. So I understod why they did it before the start of the season.

Things like this made me realize I was happy about not being a public figure. I wasn't famous and my personal life was mine. I didn't read about myself in the news pappers or was on the front-page. Guess things like this is whats not so great about being a public figure. I knew there was a few pictures of me in the background when Toto was was the headline, but it never focused specifically on me.

"Promise me you won't tell anyone" Gaby said. I wasn't planing on. I'd be a complete asshole if I broke Gabys trust. I was her friend and I wanted her to trust me to tell me things like this. Just like I trusted her to tell her things like this if I had something I'd like it to tell her. Thats whats friends are for. "Of course I'm not gonna tell anyone" I promised her.

Our lunch continued with us talking about what our plans were for Christmas. We both had plans to spend time with our families. On new years we were, like the last few years, celebrating together. We were always a few PA and mechanics and other staff from different teams that celebrates new years together. It was a fun tradition and the planing always landed on me and Gaby. We didn't mind though. It was fun to plan, and we honestly didn't need to plan that very much. The only thing we needed to fix was a place to be at and that there was access to alcohol. Every one just wanted to dance and have fun.

A bottle of wine turned in to two and we were more than tipsy as we paid and left. I could barely walk out the door without Gabys support. She needed my support as much as I needed hers. It had goten colder since we came but I didn't seem to notice as I was warm from the alcohol. We decided to meet up someday between Christmas and New Years to plan for the party.

My walk home was slow. When I had been drinking alcohol, I was a slow walker. I always got picked on for that. I didn't mind though. If I was slow, people could deal with it or carry me. As soon as I got home I striped out of my cloths and put my hoodie on. I went to the kitchen and put a kettle of water on so I could make myself some tea.

When I got my tea I made myself comfortable on the couch, and opened my laptop. I saw I still hadn't sent the e-mail to Toto about the investment proposal, so I read through what I've started to write. It was a short e-mail, basically just telling him he should have a look at it.

Me: Check your mail. You've got something juicy in it ;)

I didn't know why I texted Toto, he would obviously se my mail. I just felt like I wanted to have an actual conversation with him. Maybe it was the wine, but I felt the need to have his attention. I wanted to talk to him, making him think about me. 

A/N: WOW! I'm speechless!!! Over 1k readers!!! Wow, thats absolutely wild. I can't believe it. Its insane. THANK YOU! I love all of you 

XOXO
