Julia had been following Lando around with her camera all weekend and already started editing all the footage while making their way back to the airport. Lando wasn't fully satisfied with the race results, but he was still happy and grateful for the whole team behind him.

"You did great today." Julia whispered, before continuing to stare at her editing software. A slight smile appeared on Lando's face, when she put one hand on his shoulder, the other one typing in some commands on the laptop.

Carlos, who was sitting next to Lando, just smirked at him playfully — already knowing what was going on. He had been watching the two from time to time and it wasn't hard to see that they liked each other.

"Esa es tu chica." Carlos mumbled to Lando, giggling like a little child. Lando responded with a confused gaze and just shook his head — causing Carlos to optimistically wink back at him.


When Julia and Lando got back to the UK, they decided to go and grab some food — just because of business, obviously.

They found themselves sitting in a fancy restaurant in London, not being able to pronounce the names of the dishes correctly.

"What's a 'Sarson Ki Gilawat'?" Julia laughed, trying to at least understand the menu. Lando looked even more confused than her, narrowing his eyebrows at the mixture of random words he just heard.

"Um.. I guess it sounds interesting." He chuckled in response, slowly leaning over the table to whisper into Julia's ear. "We should've gone to that sketchy pizzeria we passed by."

Julia couldn't help but laugh at the comment, taking a sip of the water she'd ordered — as a result of not knowing any of the fancy wines, neither wanting to pay that much for a glass.

"Can I take your order?" The waiter walked back to the table, Julia and Lando looking into each other's eyes concerned, considering they didn't know what any of the dishes were.

"I think, we'll take whatever you can recommend us." Lando answered, and the waiter nodded politely, before walking off.

"You know what's gonna happen now, right?" Julia grinned at Lando widely, after raising one of her eyebrows. "This will be an expensive night for you and me, Mr. Norris."

"What? I'm paying. It's a business dinner, did you forget?"

Julia playfully rolled her eyes, ahead of looking out the panorama window next to her. You could take a look all over London — and Julia had to admit this view was worth paying for, although she couldn't pronounce anything off the menu.

After having their food and Lando paying — even though Julia didn't like the idea of it — they made their way outside and sat down on a bench at the River Thames.

"I'm really happy Ash recommended you to me." Lando explained, looking at the Thames. "You know, I thought I wouldn't find someone as good as him, but you're great at what you're doing."

"Thank you, Lando." Julia started blushing a bit — fortunately the sun had already set and it was pitch-dark outside. "I'm really happy I got the opportunity."

Lando grinned, carefully grabbing Julia's small hand, that was placed on her lap before. At first Julia didn't even realise what happened, she just went along. But in the moment she realised, a slight smile arose on her face. She was really lost in the moment, viewing all the city lights reflecting on the River.

Lando couldn't help but smirk, knowing he just made the first step. He had to admit that he liked Julia, but in the back of his head, he fought the thought of keeping everything professional.
