Zak walks out of the room. "Back to co-works" I smile a sad smile "No" "We tried, it didn't work out" "I don't care, a piece of paper isn't going to tell me what I can and can't feel" I'm still stood back facing lando with his hand around my waist. I don't answer him as I feel my a lump grow in my throat and tears fall down my face. He slowly turns me around and pulls me into a tight hug. "Please don't cry"-L "I wanted this to work out so badly" I sob. "I know, me too baby me too" "And now we're back to stage one, co-workers" "Don't say that" "Well what am I meant to say, that I love you and it's breaking my heart that if I want to be with you I have to leave this job?" I cry even more. Lando whips my tears and his eyes start to go glossy. A single tear falls down his cheek. "You can't cry, crying is my thing" I giggle placing my head on his chest. We stay holding eachother for a moment. "Ok, so we just do anything at work, no hugs or kisses, we just work together at work. But who's stopping us from being together outside of work?" "I think you forget your famous, cameras literally follow you everywhere" "There's no cameras in my house, or your house" "So your saying we just turn our feelings off at work? Pretend to be just friends" "Yes, and then when we go home we can go back to being us" I stay quite for a while "I mean, it's worth a try" I smile pulling away from his chest. "I'm going to make this work for us, I promise" he says kissing my head. I walk back to my office and pack up for the day. I realize I have no way to get home because I came with lando. I go to find lando to ask if I can go home with him. I see him sitting in an empty meeting room with his head back, tears streaming down his face and his eyes closed. I walk into the room quietly. "You ok" I ask "Oh, sorry I thought I was alone" he says whipping his tears and getting up. "Ya... you where but are you ok? What's wrong?" "Nothing I'm all good" "Tell me" He takes a deep breath "what if I lose you, over some stupid contract" "Contract or no contract, I will always be in love with you" "Promise" he says holding his pinky finger to me. "Pinky promise" I say wrapping my finger around his. "But amm, I have no way of getting home so can I come with you?" "Ofcourse you can, I'll meet you at the car I just need to grab my stuff." Lando walks up stairs to get his stuff and I walk to the car. On my way I get stopped by Zak. "Hey y/n!" "Oh Zak, hey" "So I wanted to talk to you in private is now a good time!" "Ya I have a few minutes what's up" "I hate to do this I really do, and I want you to know I didn't want this but we have to move you to Daniels service instead of landos." "So... I'll be Daniels assistant and not landos?" "Yes, the team overall think it's for the best that you and lando spend less time together, and now that you aren't aloud be together maybe it will be easier?" "So who will be landos assistant?" "She's knew here, she used to be Carlos' PR manager but she moved from Ferrari to McLaren last week" "Emily?!" I say in shock. "Oh you know her, great, yes Emily." "Send me Daniels work and timetable" I say walking away in angry.

"You ok? You haven't talked the whole car ride" "You remember Emily?" "The girl that basically attacked you at dinner? Ya why" "She's your new assistant" "No- why do I need a new assistant? Did you quit?! Y/n why did you leave I told you I would make this work!" "Nope, I didn't I got moved to Daniels side, I'm his assistant now and Emily is yours, the team think it will be better if we spend less time together." "I'm not working with that bitch" lando snaps. I don't say anything. The thought of working at McLaren everyday and not being with lando makes me feel sick. Passing him in the office or motor home and not being able to work with him will feel wrong. Once we get to landos house I go straight up stairs and lay in bed. Lando goes to the kitchen and after a few minutes pass he walks into the room with a glass of water for me. "You can't sleep in a skirt come on" he says lifting me out of the bed and into his closet. "I'm fine just let me go back to bed" He doesn't say another word and places one of his hoodies over my head. It's too big on me so it falls just above my knees. "Now take the skirt off" he demands "Ohhhh demanding" I wink "No, not like that, just take it off you can't sleep in a skirt" I take the skirt off and go to walk back to bed when I'm stopped my lando who softly grabs him hips and turns me to face him again. "Thank you" he says kissing my forehead. "Can I go back and feel sorry for myself in bed again" I ask. "Drama queen" he smiles and lets me go. After a few minutes I fall asleep while lando is downstairs. The next morning I wake up and lando isn't in bed. I pick my phone up to look at the time. 12:30pm. I see lando has text me.
*Sorry I had to go to the McLaren center, Zak wants me to meet Emily🤢 I'll be back at 1pm. I love you x -Lando 9:30pm.
*Yayyy Emily gets the spend time with you and I don't !!! Exiting :/, I love you too x -Y/n 12:32pm.
*Im on my way home don't be jealous!, you want anything from the shop? X -Lando 12:34pm.
*CHOCOLATE!!!! Please x -Y/n.
I go down to the kitchen to make some food and get a drink. I sit at the table and eat while scrolling through Instagram. After a moment I hear the front door open. "Babe I'm home" lando yells "I'm in the kitchen" I yell back. Lando walks into the kitchen and sits next to me. "How was your morning?" I ask "Not bad, I had to show Emily around, the same thing I had to do with you really" he says placing chocolate on the table infront of me. "Good for Emily" I say rolling my eyes and focusing back on my phone. "Stop being jealous" he laughs "It's not funny lando" I snap walking out of the kitchen. "Y/n..." I ignore him and go upstairs to change. I lock the closet door and get ready. "Open the door" lando says knocking. "No" "Y/n open the door please" "Let me get dressed" I pout. "No open the door now" I ignore him hoping he will go away and get ready. Outfit:

I walk out of the closet hoping lando isn't standing in the bedroom but ofcourse he is. "You look good, like always, but you never wear dresses, it suits you" "Good, need to dress to impress today" I say grabbing my phone and charger. "Why, what's so important about today" "Today I meet Daniel and his side of the team" "So your wearing that to a work meeting?" "Yup, have a problem with that?" "Are you not meant to wear uniform?" "Nope, it's a lunch meeting organized by Daniel not McLaren" "So I get annoying Emily in last years old uniform and Daniel gets you in a short black dress, great" he says rolling his eyes. "I'll tell Emily come in her underwear tomorrow, maybe then you'll stop complaining" "Please don't, your jealous with her fully clothed, imagine what you'd be like if she wasn't" he says annoyed "I'm not jealous" "Really? Wow seemed like it yesterday" "Do I have a reason to be jealous of her? Should I have a reason to be ?" "No- I-" "You what..? I'm sorry for worrying about you having a new girl bossing you around, but the last girl that did that you fell in love with, so my bad for worrying you might fall I love with this one too and forget about me, I'm so fucking sorry that I am the only one here that seems to be bothered by everything happening between us In private and at work" I raise my voice out of frustration. "I'm not the one going to meetings in short skin tight black dresses, if anything your the one that's going to forget about me" raising his voice now too. "That's ok, you have your opinion, I mean it's not like we're even together, we aren't official so I mean, sleep with Emily if you want I can't stop you" I say in a calmer tone walking out the door. "Really mature" he yells as I walk away.
