@fan000: kiara coming back with a bang

@fan19: she looks so good!

MEDIA DAY: Kiara felt at home. She was back and she was loving the atmosphere. Being around the paddock, seeing the people, the scooters, the garages, her heart swelled.

She was smiling from the moment she got out of the car and through the paddock and into the garage. When she greeted the mechanics and engineers, when she was given a headset and when she was watching the interviews.

Pierre and Jack were being interviewed by a new reporter she had yet seen before. She didn't put too much thought into it, she was just enjoying the feeling of being back, that was until she heard and realized what was happening.

Kiara looked at where Pierre was being interviewed and she felt her blood boil. "So, from the last race, Kiara was out and you were not as good as we expected." He said.

She saw how Pierre's shoulders squared up, he was feeling uncomfortable. "We can then say that just because Kiara is gone, you'll do bad and disappoint the team?"

Pierre didn't know what to say, he was beyond offended with what he was saying. But before he could respond, Kiara walked up to them and crossed her arms.

The interviewer was about to complain when she cut him off already, "Congratulations, you just lost your job." She said with a blank face. The man was about to say something when she spoke again, "Try saying another thing, I'll get you off the premises before you can explain yourself." She said.

Pierre placed a hand on her back, "Let's go ma belle." He whispered. But she was not backing down, and he knew that. So, he did something that was unexpected to the reporters and other drivers that were around the area.

The French placed a kiss on her cheek and pulled her away. "Calm down baby." he whispered and she scoffed, she stopped walking and turned to him. She let out a huff, her arms still crossed and her eyebrows furrowed, "Are they rude to you all the time?" she asked glaring at the reporters.

He shook his head and rubbed her arms, uncrossing them and intertwining their fingers, "No. This is the first time." He reassured her. She sighed and pulled him into a hug.

Placing his arms around her waist as she wrapped her around his neck, "They better not try or else." She muttered.

Pierre let out a chuckle and kissed her head, "I know, my strong baby."

Before they could part ways with the team, they were called to a meeting by the PR team. Kiara and Pierre walked in the debriefing room, hands clasped together. They sat next to each other, waiting on whatever their team would say.

But when their PR manager spoke, they didn't expect what they were going to say, "Because of everything that has happened, we believe that attention to the team has been achieved and we think that it's time to end the PR relationship."
