OLIVIA SAT IN A SMALL bar as she swished her drink around. She had originally came with Max and Daniel as a celebration for Qualifying but Danny had gotten a little too tipsy. Max being the suck up he is—volunteered to drop back off at the apartment.

"I'm sorry to bother you—" a guy says as he takes a seat next to her at the bar. "But you look so familiar," Oh great heavens. "Did we have the same class before? I could've sworn we had chemistry." Olivia almost choked on her drink. "That was so cheesy!" She said as she bursted out in laughter.

The guy chuckled slightly in embarrassment. "Yeah but it got your attention!" He teased. She nodded her head in agreement. "I suppose it did."

He extended his hand for her to shake and she accepted. "Alister..." She smiled. "Olivia but everyone calls me Liv." Alister nodded and pointed at her drink, "May I get you another one?" Olivia was about to decline considering she was gonna leave when Max arrived—which would probably be any second now.

"Consider it a replacement for your shirt I ruined on Thursday."

Olivia's eyes widened as she finally recognizing him. "Your the coffee guy?"

Alister chuckled at her shock and waved the bartender over. "Can we get—" He turned to her as if asking what she would like, "A Gin and Tonic." She wispered. "—A Gin and Tonic, please."

Once the Bartender handed her the drink they moved towards a small table in the corner of the pub. "Are you a fan of Formula One?" She asked, referring to the fact that he was at the race. He tilted his head, "I suppose so?"

She raised a brow as if asking him to continue. "I'm actually planning on sponsoring one of the teams." His voice held a sense of embarrassment. "That's fantastic! Which team?"

"I was hoping to start in RB and then move over to Red Bull." She nodded her head in understanding. "What made you want to invest in F1?" He huffed out a laugh and scratched the back of his neck.

"Well me and my Dad are both lovers of Motosport and we actually own a team in IndyCar." Her eyes widened ever so slightly. She had never been much of a fan of IndyCar seeing as she only ever really planned on working in F1. She never bothered watching other motosports outside of MotoGP or maybe even WEC.

"I'm actually one of the drivers."

"I feel so horrible for not recognizing you." Her cheeks tinted ever so slightly as she began to swish her glass around again. "Don't be, it was nice to not get recognized for once."

"What about you?" He asked. Olivia lifted her eyes from her glass and finally looked at him. It was weird to see the way he was looking at her. It was the first time someone outside of Max and her Family had actually been interested in her love of motosport and not her brothers.

"I'm a Junior Strategist for a F2 team called Prema. My dream is to eventually move up to one of the F1 teams but for now I'm quite happy with where I am."

The way he smiled at her made her stomach do those weird flips that only Max ever seemed to do. "You have a beautiful smile." Olivia's cheeks darkened even further.

Alisters eyes flick to something behind her and she turns to see a group of guys sitting at a table a couple of rows away from them. "I'm just going to go tell my friends that they can head on without me," he gave her a wink as he excused himself and headed towards his friends.

Olivia took this as an opportunity to text Max.
