Summary
At sixteen, when Charles caught Max’s scent for the first time, he had run away. Max had cried, then reminded himself that it didn’t matter.
He didn’t care about the gaze of alphas, and besides, he wasn’t really an omega anymore—too much discipline, too many suppressants. Omegas weren’t fast enough, and to win, you had to be fast. To be loved, you had to win.And all Max wanted was to be loved.

Summary
“Can you work with him?”
Max has to take two drags of his cigarette before he can answer, and even then all he says is, “He knew I was the head chef, didn’t he.”
Charles has to have known. Even if the news hadn’t reached him that Max had taken over as the head chef of Taureau Rouge, he would not have travelled all the way from Paris to London for an interview at a restaurant without knowing who he’d be working under.
Still, Charles was the one who broke up with him. Max has to know, for sure.
“He knows,” Christian confirms softly. “He outright laughed at me when I called and asked him to come work at one of my restaurants. It was only after I said it was Taureau Rouge, working with you, that he agreed to come.”
Fuck. Fuck.
Max could’ve gone his whole life without knowing that. He probably fucking should have, because how is he supposed to be normal about it?
// Max and Charles have history, but it doesn't stop Charles from coming to work as Max's new sous chef. It does mean that everything changes for them both in the space of a single week.

Summary
It was kind of nice seeing them together.
Max kind of wanted it to stay that way.
He wondered if Charles planned on going all the way to F1 like him or if his dad wanted that for him. There was a lot he wanted to ask Charles but he never knew how to ask.

Summary
Pierre once said that Charles is a good person with a monster inside of him. A rabid, hungry beast that craves attention, that may well be chained down and locked away in a dark corner, but is there, lingering, waiting for a moment of weakness where it can pounce, break the bars and rampage.
Charles tells Pierre that driving for Alpine has made him completely insane.
It’s not his fault he’s so perceptive, is what he argues. (Pierre just rolls his eyes again and tells Charles he’s a lost cause.) When people are literally falling all over themselves to be near him, to touch him, to worship him, of course he is going to notice it.
So, of course, he notices Max’s crush.
