People often said you weren’t mature enough and tended to be a bit silly. It wasn’t because you couldn’t afford your apartment or keep it clean; it was more about how you still had an inner child who loved being free and playful. Your apartment was filled with a delightful mix of delicate, colorful flowers, and your bed was covered with fluffy teddy bears. Two years ago, you met Lando Norris at a McLaren x Monster Energy event, thanks to the sponsorship deal Monster had with them. You worked as a promotional model and brand ambassador for Monster, often standing in tents, handing out energy drinks in your usual Monster leather jacket. Your job took you to drift-car and motorsport events all over the world. Over Easter, you and Lando spent a lot of time together, and you fell in love. Eventually, he asked you to be his girlfriend. For a while, Lando kept you private from his public life to protect the love you shared. But the relationship didn’t last long; another girl came between you two, ending things. His team pushed him into a PR relationship with a Portuguese model named Magui. You knew he didn’t want or love her, but it still hurt. It made you wonder if you’d ever be good enough for any guy to want to keep you. You tried to carry on with your life outside social media, ignoring Magui’s subtle hints about her relationship with Lando in her posts. It was nearly Christmas, and McLaren was holding a car event. Naturally, Monster was there, and so were you and the other “Monster girls.” Earlier today, you had seen Lando and Magui together, but you brushed it aside. You were under the main tent, handing out energy drinks, when Lando’s manager approached you and handed you a small note.

“I need to talk to you. Meet me behind the Monster truck in 15 minutes. —Your Lan” Lando’s handwriting said.
