Did I do something wrong?

And don't tell me it's because of the picture I posted because you've been avoiding me for days now.

charlie_gaut

Do we really have to talk about that?

estebanocon

Yeah, we do. Cause I feel like I did something wrong but I can't put my finger on it.

charlie_gaut

I've been avoiding you because I feel weird things when I'm around you. You're my boss Esteban. I may be a Force India employee, but I work with you, for you. And clearly, we don't have a boss/employee relationship."

estebanocon

Is this because I said you're beautiful?

charlie_gaut

Not because you said it, but because I liked it.

Remember that day, before we joined Cate, Pierre and Charles on the yacht? I was sore because of the job around Monaco and you gave me a massage.

Esteban, I was in my panties lying on your bed and you were caressing my back! How often do you do that with your boss?

Since then, every time I'm near you I wish you would put your hands on me. I can't risk the job I've dreamt of my whole life just because I like how you touch me.

estebanocon

I don't understand how this would mean you're risking your job.

charlie_gaut

Anything could go wrong! What if we don't get along anymore? Force India could fire me, you could fire me, I could decide to quit. We have everything but a professional relationship.

estebanocon

What if I don't only want a professional relationship with you? What if I want more? What if I want to touch you too?

charlie_gaut

We can't. We'll just be professional around each other, and we can be friends if you want. But that's it. No more hugging, touching, or complimenting me. I'm sorry if you find me egoistic, believe that it's not easy for me. I just can't let whatever this is that I'm feeling about you risk my position. You've sacrificed so much for your career, Esteban. I think you can understand why I would do the same.

Happy birthday Charlie.
