Chapter 1

cI shrugged down my skirt as it seemed to hike up further as I got closer to the large glass doors of the MTC.

Once I reached the doors I pulled the door, but it wouldn't open, I looked at the door again and noticed a small sign saying "push". I cringed at myself and then scanned the area around me to see if anyone had seen how embarrassing I had been. Once I noticed no one was looking I pushed the door and entered the large building. The McLaren Technology Centre was filled with light chatter amongst many different employees, and light background noise of numerous employees making important phone calls.

I walked over to what looked like a reception desk. The reception lady was on the phone so I was standing there waiting for a signal of where to go. Here I finally was. I had wanted to be here since I could remember. I had seen how beautiful it was and I was captivated as soon as I had seen it on the tv. I quickly searched for a seating area to wait for assistance. Once I found a comfortable place to sit I finally let the realisation hit that I had one shot at this interview. I couldn't mess it up, or else I had to say goodbye to any chance of working with McLaren.

Anxiety also hit at the same time and I began to furiously pick at my fingernails and the skin around them. Though I stopped once I remembered where I was. The last thing I needed was for it to seem like I had anything to be nervous about. Not being confident seemed unprofessional so I kept it to myself. "One moment Miss" The reception lady said as she cupped the speaker of office telephone. I nodded and I began to look around. I had never seen such beautiful cars in my life. There was cars that were raced in previous years and some of McLaren's best supercars. 

I wanted to touch the cars so bad but I knew well that I should probably not, so instead I just stared at the cars. I was in awe at how magnificent a car could possibly be "She is a beauty!" I had jumped at a voice that was right next to me. This voice had a thick accent to it. It sounded American. I stood there still and I slowly turned my head to see Zak Brown, McLaren's CEO. "Y-Yeah its a beautiful car" I reply slightly stuttering from being so starstruck "Mmmm What model is it?" Zak replies in an effort to quiz me "McLaren 720s Spider, easy" "Very good!" Zak replies. "You must be Madison Sparks, applying to be Lando's PR manager?" I slightly scrunch my face in confusion "Ahaha nooo, I am Angel Acosta, applying to be Daniels PR manager!" I say politely as I scratch the back of my head. "Damn! I apologise for the mistake, but Daniel already has a PR manager" My face drops from a smile to a dead serious face. My dreams were now crushed. I had wanted to work at McLaren for many years now and just when I get the chance I lose it. "Lando is the one that needs a PR manager and thats why we are interviewing Madison today. I am truely sorry....... Look I don't usually do this but since we inconvenienced you we will give you the opportunity to be interviewed to be Lando's PR. I am sure we can quickly fit you in after Madisons interview" I am hesitant at first but then I give in.

"Sure!" "Sweet, just stick around for another hour and a half and then we can get you interviewed, and again I am truely sorry and I hope to make it up to you soon!" With that Zak walks off and I am left by myself and am I clueless "Need any help?" The young woman at the desk says as she quick stands up and notices my confused face "Uhhhhhh hmmm no I am alright than-" With that my stomach grumbles loudly and I instantly regret saying no "Actually scratch that, do you guys have like a vending machine for food and stuff?" "Actually we have a cafeteria!" The woman replies happily "Oh great, could I please have the directions for the cafeteria then?" "Sure! oh and by the way I am Amber" Amber walks up to me and I notice her belly is large and round. She is pregnant. "Ahah I am Angel" "Wooooww I love that name!" "Thank you!" "So expecting a boy or a girl?" I ask while we walk towards the cafeteria  together. "A boy!!" Amber replies practically squealing.
