Using async when two requests have to be made and response from the first is needed in the other request

I have a async function like this:

exports.myFunction = async (req, res, next) => {
  if (some condition) {
     next()
  }

  try {

    const results = await axios.get(`https://a-domain.com/url/path`);
    const info = results.data;

    const docRef = await addDoc(collection(db, "name_of_collec"), info);
    console.log("Document written with ID: ", docRef.id);
  } catch (e) {
    console.error("Error adding document: ", e);
  }

  next();
};

Here, response from the first request is required in the second request. But according to my knowledge since I am making asynchronous requests, the two requests should be made at the same time.

What I cannot understand:

• So, how it is possible that there is no error occurring?
• How is it that, sometimes the no document is added to Firestore? Like it is skipped somehow…

Context info:

• I am using Express.js and Node.js to make a backend
• I am using axios to make the first request and the second one is adding a document to Firestore.
• Firestore is a noSQL database inside Google’s Firebase.
