The week of the Madrid fashion show came and while Arribella was in Spain, Lando was in Monaco for the race that weekend. The girl was relaxing in her hotel room the Thursday following landing in the Spanish city the day before. She was sat on her bed with the press conferences on and smiled when Lando came onto the screen. "Now, Lando coming to you. We know you love Monaco and this track. What makes Monte Carlo so special to you?" the interviewer asks the McLaren driver. "Well, it's a special place and a special track. Plus the fact I get to sleep in my own bed." Lando jokes as few of the drivers around him laugh.

The interview continues and not long after it ends, Arribella's phone immediately rings. She rushes out the bathroom, despite doing her face care the moment she recognized the ring tone. "Who are you and what have you done to my girlfriend?" Lando jokes as Arribella answers the call. "Hi to you too. I'm washing my face so I can get ready. I have a big event dinner tonight so I'm starting to get ready." the girl smiles, heading back into the bathroom. "Oh, big event dinner. Can I get a sneak peak at your look?" Lando asks. "I mean why not? But, you are not seeing my naked." Arribella laughs. "Oh come on, can I not see my girlfriend naked on call?" Lando frowns as Arribella washes her face.

"No. I love you and all but you are not seeing me naked on camera." Arribella giggles as she dries her face. "Oh come on, love. Please." Lando begs. "No. You have a race to focus on and I don't want you thinking about the imagine of me naked that you mentally photographed." Arribella laughs as she turns she puts her clips in and starts to do her make up. "Makeup before your clothing. Want the look to be perfect?" Lando teases and Arribella gives him a warning look. "Well, I need to look nice for the camera's considering my boyfriend is probably going to look at me online all dressed up." Arribella jokes. "Obviously, I want to see my gorgeous girlfriend being centre of attention as her brand leads the biggest fashion show in Spain." Lando grins as Arri shakes her head.

The pair continue to talk as Arribella gets ready. "Okay. Are you ready?" Arri asks as her camera is off. "Come on, show me!" Lando pleads. "Okay. Calm down." Arribella laughs as she turns her camera on and sets back so Lando can see her full look. "I'm sorry. Where is my girlfriend?" Lando jokes causing Arribella to laugh before he adds, "you look gorgeous baby."

"Thank you my love. I better go but I'll be watching you this weekend." Arribella smiles, picking her phone up and taking it off charge. "Okay. I'll see you after this weekend." Lando smiles before the girl hangs up. She takes one last look before quickly getting a photo of her look and heading out her hotel room.

She had been joined by members of her team and the group headed to the meal together. Once they arrived, the paparazzi were already calling for them as they walked the carpet into the restaurant. Each fashion brand were situated at their own table as the event begun with a speech from the head of the Madrid Fashion Show.

Light-hearted chatter and laughter set the scene once the speech was done. Arribella joined the conversation with her designers who prepared a new collection for the event as well as corrected errors on the most popular clothes. "Excuse me for a moment." Arribella smiles at her team before leaving the table and heading to the bathroom.
