STILL IN MONACO

I was nervous. This was the first event where Lando would enter my world. What better way to do it than a Cartier high jewelry exhibit honoring my great grandmother and other royal patrons. Yes, my mother's side of the family loved diamonds so much that at some point my great grandmother owned more Cartier and Garrard pieces than the Queen of England.

All the women from my mum's side of the family were there.  Of course we wore select pieces from the vaults. Lando was quite surprised when he saw me. 
"Woah...that's some serious bling you got there babe" was Lando's first reaction upon seeing me at the hotel hallway.

"Hahaha perks of the job...wait I also have something for you."

Annie handed me the box to the limited edition Cartier Ballon Bleu Tourbillon. They usually don't sell it on a whim but being a Kerr-Latsis has its perks especially with Cartier.

"You cannot go to a Cartier event without wearing a Cartier."

"Is this for me?" He asked as he touched the watch or tried to because i closed it as a joke and it startled him.

"Oh! You! I can't believe you did that!" He exclaimed still surprised.

I laughed.

"Yes. Plus don't worry, I cleared it with Caroline, no sponsor conflict for this event."

Lando opened the box for real this time and was shocked to see the watch

Lando opened the box for real this time and was shocked to see the watch.

"You doing this Pretty woman thing again. This is worth more than my car" He said as he tried it on.

"Of course it's worth more than the Fiat."i winked and he laughed so hard

"Whaaat? Ha-ha! Very funny. I was actually referring to the McLaren but yeah definitely more than the Fiat." He grabbed me by the waist and pulled me close to him. Lando looked handsome in a suit. So i rested my arms on his shoulders trying to tease him by caressing the back of his head.

"So what should I expect today? Aside from meeting your family?"

"Nikolai will be there." Annie said,which I tried to ignore.

"Who's Nikolai?" he asked looking alert and curious.

"My ex." I said with a very irritated tone as I glared at Annie.

"Oh yeah? The ex- ex? As in the reason for the cold heart?"

"Yes. The arsehole who broke my heart by cheating on me with an older woman."

"Juicy. And he's there because?"

"He's the Prince of Denmark." I said coldly.

"Like a real prince?"

"Yes.  A real prince." I helped him fix his dickie bow.

" babe. You almost became a princess."

"Ha-ha. If I became a princess, you wouldn't be calling me babe." I locked my hands around his neck again and and he grabbed my waist to bring me closer.
