"You're back just in time. Any longer and I'm sure you're dad and Lance would've gotten suspicious." Sara spoke as the two girls walked to the bar together after Eleanor arrived back at the Grimaldi Forum.

"Thanks for covering for me. I owe you one. Drinks on me." Eleanor replied as the came to a stop in front of the bar.

"Drinks are free." Sara reminded the Stroll girl causing them both to laugh.

"What's the joke?" Lance wondered as he placed a hand on the shoulder of each of the girls.

"Just girl talk." Sara assured her boyfriend as she wrapped an arm around his waist and subtly through a wink at the dark haired girl without Lance noticing. "What time is the show starting at?"

"Should be soon. I think they're just waiting on George and Antonio to arrive. They're worse than models." Lance joked causing the two girls to laugh once again.

"Champagne?" A waiter asked as he approached the trio group.

"Thank you." Lance replied as he handed the two girls a drink before taking one for himself. "Let's go find dad."

They all headed across the room where Lawerence Stroll's table was located. Sitting there would be Lawerence, his two children, Sara, Sebastian Vettel and his wife along with Otmar Szafnauer, Aston Martin's Team Principal, and his wife.

"Please tell me this won't be a business evening." Eleanor whispered to her older brother as she spotted her father talking with Otmar and some other man.

"Have you met our father?" Lance asked with a smile on his face causing Eleanor to roll her eyes slightly. Her father managed to turn everything into something to do with business.

"This could be a long night." Eleanor sighed as Lance took a seat next to his teammate with Sara sitting next to him leaving the dark haired girl to sit next to her father.

Lucky for Eleanor the show started not long after as Nataile Pinkham took the stage to begin the show and welcome everyone.

"Welcome F1 and fashion fans to tonight's Amber Lounge Fashion Show in Monaco. As always, tonight's proceedings are in aid of charity and this year it's Caldwell Children in the UK." Nataile explained as she walked out to the centre of the catwalk. "Now to get the show underway, we have three Formula One drivers and leading the charge is Williams' Racing's Nicholas Latifi."

Everyone clapped as Nataile stepped off to the side of the stage as Nicholas stepped out and began his walk stopping at the end for photos.

"Alfa Romeo's Antonio Giovinazzi." Nataile continued as Antonio came out as Nicholas started to walk back in. "And Williams' driver George Russell."

Eleanor smiled brighter and clapped louder as the second Williams' driver took the stage in a cream coloured suit and white shirt. She laughed in her head as she saw he had finally managed to steal someone's shoes after she had left him to sort out his crisis earlier.

George posed at the end of the catwalk for the photographer around the room who were snapping up pictures of the drivers. He turned slightly and managed to briefly lay his eyes on Eleanor for a moment which caused his smiled to grow more.

The fashion show continued with various F2 and Formula E drivers along with professional models too. Once the show came to an end, everyone was free to move around and socialise.
