Before you

20.

Riley's POV

Zak wanted to talk to Lando alone, which he didn't want. He wanted to stay with me.

But after I told him for the millionth time that I was fine, he did go with Zak.

I really was fine though. I had to admit that even I was shocked by the article, and I knew most of it already.

But reading about it was even worse. I thought he promised them a promotion or raise, but he didn't even do that.

Asshole just threatened them.

I sat down with Xanthi and Max, who obviously were already briefed by Zak.
They probably had no idea who I was, or who my dad was, until now.

"You okay?" Xanthi asked. "Yes thanks" I nodded.

"So he's your dad" she looked at me. I just nodded. Unfortunately yes.

She chuckled. "Now I feel better about stealing his paddock pass"

"You were the girl who stole his paddock pass?"

She immediately put her hands up. "In my defense, he gave it willingly to me"

I chuckled. "I fucking love you"

"You hear that Max?" She said as she turned her head to Max. "You got competition"

"Oh he definitely does" I chuckled. Max just rolled his eyes.

"Who got competition?" Lando asked as he put his hands on my shoulders.

"I am stealing your girlfriend" Xanthi said. "So I guess you got competition too"

"Oh no, this one is all mine" Lando said as he bended down and kissed my cheek a couple of times.

And God, my heart skipped a beat when he did that. Probably turned a bit red too.

Max and Xanthi looked at each other with a smile, guess we were pretty convincing after all.

Lando didn't mention what Zak said to him, I honestly also didn't really care.

It was clear that Zak didn't want me here, which made me want to be here even more. Just to annoy him a little.

Lando got in the car, and was driving in fourth place pretty comfortably for the entire race.

"Do you think your dad will take a step back?" Xanthi asked, she was standing next to me in the garage. "I think he has no choice really" I shrugged.

"So you'll become the CEO?"

"No, Savannah will" it killed me to say it, but she was my older sister. If she wanted to take over, then she could.

Unfortunately, she was first in line.

"Savannah?" She frowned. "Yeah my sister"

"Savannah is your sister?" Max interfered in our conversation and by the look on his face, he was pretty shocked about that.

"Savannah is my older sister yeah" I nodded. "Do you guys know her?"

Xanthi and Max both looked at each other, then back at me. "Does Lando know she's your sister?"

"Uh, yeah? I think so? Maybe not"

Did I tell him she was my sister? Maybe I didn't, fuck no I definitely didn't. He thought she was my friend.

"Why?" I asked.

"He's not gonna be happy about that" Max chuckled.

Why wouldn't he be happy about that? Fair enough, Savannah could be a bit much, but to hate the fact that she was my sister?

That was a bit much.

But maybe it would give us a reason to 'break up'. We needed to find something to make our break up a bit believable.

After all, this was gonna be our last appearance together.
After this weekend, I could go back to my mess of a life.
