Black Widow - Part 2

5.

"You have no idea what to do here, do you?" A voice from behind me asked. It wasn't Lando, because I would recognize his voice everywhere.

In my dreams, in my nightmares. Literally everywhere.

I looked up, only to be met by beautiful blue eyes. Max Verstappen was leaning over my table with a smile on his face.

"Not really, no" I admitted. There was no way denying that I actually had no fucking idea what a PR manager actually did. "Is it that obvious?"

He chuckled, sat down next to me and pulled the laptop in front of him. "Pretty damn obvious yeah"

He typed something, looked at me and frowned. "You can sit closer if you want?"

"Oh right" I laughed awkwardly, pulled my chair closer to him. I could smell his cologne, he smelled so good.

"So you'll get a lot of emails regarding interviews, you can't accept them all, so you have to check which ones you want Lando to do" he opened my mailbox and a lot of mails kept coming in.

"Oh fuck" I mumbled.

"Okay you haven't looked at one of them so it seems" he tilted his head to me and shook his head while laughing.

"Which ones are important then?" I asked. "British media for Lando, I guess he prefers doing them"

Okay, seems pretty logical.

Max showed me a lot of stuff, make summaries for Zak, guide Lando through media day, have a little meeting before media day with Lando to prepare him for possible questions.

I listened and wrote everything down. Why? Why was I actually trying to do a good job at this?

I was here to mess his career up, right?

"Bonnie, right?" Max asked as he pushed my laptop back to me. "Yup" I nodded.

"Did you do something with your hair?"

I chuckled. "Yeah I literally dyed it blonde"

"Yeah exactly, that's what's different" he laughed, leaned back in his hair. "You look beautiful"

"Thanks" I smiled, didn't really know what to reply because I didn't expect this at all.

"Are you free tonig-"

"Oh it seems so cosy out here" Lando interrupted him, grabbed a chair from another table and sat down next to me. "What are you guys talking about?"

He leaned back in his chair, put one leg over the other and smirked at me.

He was so fucking annoying and looked so handsome at the same time.

His backwards cap, the top buttons of his shirt unbuttoned so you could see that damn necklace again.

"Uh-I was just asking Bonnie if she was free tonight" Max said.

"Oh interesting" Lando looked at Max and back at me. "And Bonnie? Are you free tonight?"

"I totally am free tonight" I said as I ignored Lando, looked straight at Max.

"Aw how cute" Lando chuckled sarcastically. "Looks like you have a cute little date then"

"Don't you have somewhere to be?" I turned my head to Lando. "Or don't you have to annoy someone else?"

"I thought that's why you are here? To annoy me?" He leaned closer to me. "Isn't that what you said, Bon?"

Ugh that fucking nickname.

"Anyways" Max cleared his throat. "I will see you tonight" he looked at me before getting up and walking back to his own hospitality.

"Are you gonna make him fall in love with you too? Just to break his heart afterwards?" Lando said as he looked how Max walked away.

"Oh shut the fuck up, you-" I rolled my eyes before looking at my phone. Sin was calling me. He only called me when it was urgent.

I got up, walked away as well, not looking at Lando again.

"Hello? What's wrong?"

"We found something at the crime scene, the fake Black Widow crime scene. I am sending it to you right now" he said, his voice almost in a whisper.

"What is it?"

"A note, the rest of my colleagues don't really understand it, but I do" He said. "It's aimed to you Bonnie"

"To me?" I frowned.

The fake Black Widow left a message for me on the crime scene?

"Be careful Bonnie, promise me you will be careful"

"I will, I always am" I lied. I was never careful.

"I have to go now, but I'll talk to you later" he said before hanging up.

A minute later there was a text on my phone from Sin. A picture of a note.

There was one sentence on the little piece of paper. One sentence that made my skin crawl, my heart stopped for a little while.

"Run Spider, run"
