Chapter 2

Rewritten: 28/06/2019

If you've read before, please know that Maya used to be Laura :)

A little later than she would've wanted, Lexi arrives at the Heathrow Airport. She wanted to be there nice and early, but of course basically, everything that could go wrong went wrong, which resulted in her rushing to the airport. Luckily, she isn't too late, which is a big relief. That's the last thing she would've wanted the first time. After checking in and going through security, she heads towards the gate. Her dad had told her that that's where the team always waits for each other.

It doesn't take long to find everyone, the group of people wearing Mercedes clothing is quite noticeable and pulls quite some attention from the crowd. Lexi takes a deep breath before walking over to the group. At first, no one really notices her, which isn't strange at the busy airport and with all the random people approaching them. Then a girl, clearly also a team member,  turns around and spots here.

"Hi, can I help you?" she asks, smiling politely at Lexi.

"Hi, I'm Lexi Cooper, Lewis' temporary PA and press officer," Lexi introduces herself, making the other girl smile.

"Oh yes, they told me Vince was out of the running for a bit. I'm assuming he's your dad?"

"Yeah, he is."

"So kind of you to replace him for the time being."

"Thank you."

"I'm Maya, by the way, I'm an aerodynamicist here in the team."

"Nice to meet you," Lexi says, smiling at Maya.

"We still have a bit of time before boarding starts, if you want, I can introduce you to some of the other team members?"

"That would be great, thank you!"

By the time boarding starts, Maya has introduced her to the majority of the team. Luckily, everyone was very kind and all told her to let them know if she needed anything. Maya made sure that they were sitting next to each other for the flight, which Lexi was very grateful for.

"So, Lewis Hamilton's PA. Are you ready?" Maya asks once they're settled into their seats for the next 11 hours.

"I thought I was, but now I'm not sure. is it that bad?" Lexi asks worriedly.

"No, it's not. Well, I don't think it is. Vince seems to be able to handle things fine. However, Lewis can be quite a handful. But don't worry, he's a good guy and I'm sure you'll get along great. As long as everything goes well, you won't have any issues with him."

"That's the plan, I don't want to get my dad into any trouble."

"You won't, don't worry. Everyone knows that you stepped in on the last second so they won't judge too hard if you make a small mistake. As for Lewis, he just really wants to be World Champion again this season. He needs everyone on board for that. If you show that you are, things will be fine."

"I'm 100% on board," Lexi says, making Maya chuckle.

"Then you'll have a great time with us, I promise. Plus, you'll be able to travel to some awesome places and get to watch some awesome races."

"I'm counting on that last part," Lexi chuckles, making Maya smile. Just then the pilot announces that they're ready for take-off. Maya puts on her headphones to listen to some music whilst they take off and Lexi decides to do the same. Flying doesn't really bother her, but she's never been a fan of take-off and landing.
