Lando's POV
"I can come to your suite tonight?" Violet asked as she leaned closer to me. "Rae is here this weekend"
"Oh.." she mumbled. "You can come to my room then?"
"Not this weekend Vi, I think she's suspecting something"
And having this conversation in the middle of the hospitality wasn't very smart either.
Jules came with Rae to Baku, which wasn't that weird because she joined her for a few other races as well.
But she only came to races in cities where they had lots of hotels, where Jules could work as well.
Fair enough, Hilton did have hotels in Baku, but Jules wasn't here to work.
It would worry me, but on the other hand, Rae has been acting normal around me.
I cheated on her every night while I was in Monza. I just couldn't stop.
Violet made me feel special again, Rae always did that too but I felt pathetic next to her.
She owned every damn Hilton hotel in the world. More than 600 hotels in 100 countries.
She managed them all, while taking care of Jace and supporting me.
I just drove stupid cars around a track.
It was intimidating to date Rae, she was so powerful that it sometimes scared me.
Having sex with Violet wasn't intimidating at all. She was normal, a normal girl, not a billionaire.
"Or we can have sex in your driver's roo-" she whispered as she leaned closer again.
"Hi Jules!" I took a step away from Violet as I saw Jules walking in with Jace.
"Lando" she nodded, putting Jace in my arms. "I need to do something important"
She looked at Violet, if eyes could kill then she was definitely dead.
"Where is Rae?" I asked, which made her eyes snap back to me. "She's coming" she said before turning around and walking out of the hospitality.
"What a bitch" Violet mumbled.
And then Rae walked in the hospitality. Everyone looked at her, she had that kind of power when she walked in a room.
Even Violet took a step away from me.
"Hi babe" I smiled, kissing her lips. She smiled as well, but not how she used to smile. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah perfect" she said, taking Jace from me. She looked at Violet. "Don't you have work to do?"
"Yes I do" Violet mumbled, walking away.
Maybe I was overthinking, but I had definitely a feeling that Rae was acting different.
——————————-
Did the practice runs, couldn't stop thinking about Rae. She watched both practice sessions in the Mclaren garage with Jace.
Even though she had lots of work, she still made time for me.
And I was fucking it up. Literally. I had to stop this, before she would find out.
She already left when I was done with all the media stuff. Jace probably had to eat and sleep.
So when I walked in our suite, she was laying on the bed, laptop on her lap.
"How are you baby?" I asked as I walked in. Don't know how many times I asked her today.
She answered my question with a smile on her face every time. "Good"
She closed her laptop, put it next to her and tilted her head as she looked at me.
I couldn't explain it, but it wasn't a good look.
And even before I could ask her what was wrong, my phone started buzzing in my pocket.
I ignored it for a while, because I was still looking at Rae.
"I think you should take that. You don't want to keep Zak waiting" she smirked, got up from the bed in the meantime.
I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and looked at it. It was Zak. Why would he be calling me this late?
And how did Rae know it was him?
