As we arrived at the circuit a ton of paparazzi's were already flashing their cameras. „I have a press conference now but if you want you can sit in the back where the reporters are sat" Charles told me. „Okay, I'll do that. But Leclerc what if they ask about us?" I asked. „I will tell them my honest opinion and the truth if that's okay for you?" he said . I just nodded as I didn't know what to think of his statement.
Charles parked in a private parking lot and steoped out if the car. Before I could do the same he went to her door and opened it for me aswell as taking my hand to guide me out. And there we were, walking hand in hand with a bunch of cameras behind us. „Charles is this your girlfriend?" a reporter asked while running next to us. Charles just shrugged his shoulders laughing.
Stepping into the conference room Charles gave me his Ferrari cap and told me to try to stay unrecognised. I wanted to make my way to the back of the room but Charles grabbed my hand and turned me around so that I was facing him. „See you later Mrs. Leclerc" he said and gave me a sweet kiss on my forehead. With red cheeks and butterflies in my stomach I sat down behind all of the journalists and reporters as the confernece started.
„So Charles, how are you going into Qualifying today?" a journalist asked. „Well practise was actually really good yesterday so I think positive and hope for the best today. I also brang my lucky charm with me so I think it will also help me" he said, his eyes on me. „And Charles is that girl you were seen with your girlfriend?" another woman insisted on knowing. „Not yet but I wouldn't be mad if she were soon!" he said grinning. „And Charles what is the name of your new girlfriend ?" another reporter screamed out of the crowd. „In the future it will hopefully be Mrs. Leclerc" he answered proudly.
I could feel eyes on me as some people noticed he was always looking at me. Happily the conference was interrupted by a crash on the circuit so it got stopped and all the reporters went straight to the grid.
