Silverstone GP

Finally, Silverstone Grand Prix. Literally one of the grand prix week that everyone's looking forward to. I missed the first two days since for some reason I've caught a cold on the way back from Dubai with my dad. And speaking of Dubai, dad had some actual business shenanigan to attend to, so I had time for myself to stroll around the business district and do what my dad labels as 'stress shopping'. Being alone in a foreign country, even just for a few hours gave me time to think. Hit the reset button on a lot of things. And tried to forget the last few days. 

Worst birthday trip if I must say. 

While resting in my dad's hotel room, I ended up doom scrolling on social media. Managed to be up to date with every news and every gossip I can find about Formula 1. There's still some rumors going around that it was actually me that Lando posted some days ago on his Instagram Story; but fan taken pictures of Lando with the others in Bali and Margaux's Instagram stories tell another side of the story. Basically debunking any rumor that I was actually with them in Bali. I mean what happened is sort of a win-win for me, still no nosy strangers from internet trying to dive deeper in my personal life, which is good because I don't know what i'll do if word starts coming out about my daughter. Charles and I really need to talk about her but I am still second guessing as to when am I going to do that, I mean yeah, we had a moment back in Bali but it wasn't the right time.

Anyway, speaking of Margaux, all that doom scrolling on social media made me learn stuff about her unintentionally. Like the fact that she's a high school dropout to pursue content creation. That she actually has a decent following on Instagram but most of them are actually Lando's fans; and on that note, a lot are saying online that she's actually using Lando for clout and solidify herself as a media personality and brand ambassador. Or something like that.

"Word of caution by the way, Margaux's sighted at the Paddock this week. I heard from Kelly, she's at the McLaren Hospitality whole weekend." Max spoke through the phone that I placed on speaker.

I rolled my eyes and unintentionally made face as I heard her name. I check myself on the huge mirror in my walk-in closet; I decided to wear a white wide legged trousers, a black Ralph Lauren collared polo shirt that I tucked in, and my white black tipped Louboutins. I accessorized with a brown slim belt, gold nugget earrings, the necklace Lando gave me, and my mini brown Birkin bag. Satisfied with my look, I sat in my vanity to finish doing a simple makeup look.

"I don't care." I answered Max half heartedly. Top priority today is to not give a fuck about Margaux – besides she doesn't really know who am I or so I am assuming. My priority is today it to talk with Lando and clear the air between us. Hopefully set the record straight before lights out.

"That doesn't sound reassuring at all, I know you. Sky, how about you stay with me at the Red Bull garage today, huh?" Max suggested as he starts to sound a little nervous, "or maybe stay with your dad in Mercedes?"

Finally done after putting a nice red lipstick, I grab my phone, "how about no? Look, if she hit the right nerves later; then I need put some bitch to her proper place but if she stays put, I'm willing to play nice. Bye Max!" I hastily said giving him no time to respond before hanging up the call.
