I posted the guys this morning so I didn't puke while waiting for this meeting. My hands are sweating and there is a growing pit in the middle of my stomach. I'm hoping that Oscar and Lando's post shows what actually happened. I play with my necklace and walk inside with my helmet in my other hand. Lando left my place early this morning so he could get ready at his place before meeting me.

I look at him with a small smile and he winks at me as he walks into the meeting first. I set my helmet and take my riding jacket off putting it in the office I do my work in most of the time. I take a deep breath and open the door walking into the room. Lando looks laid back as he pours himself coffee and sits in one of the two chairs in front of the higher-ups, "Morning," I greet taking a seat with my hands in my lap.

"Come on Zac, what's going on?" Lando asks before sipping his coffee. He offers me a cup and I decline as he sits down. I'm not shocked that Andrea Stella isn't here. This isn't the kind of thing he messes with. He leaves that to Zac and the other leaders of the tea. I respect that about him. He's all business. I look at Zac as he sighs and turns the laptop around that's on the table.

He flips through the various photos of us dancing closely, Lando's hand on my waist, and us laughing, "Zac, those aren't what they seem," Lando says rolling his eyes, "I didn't know it was against the rules to dance with my friends," he says sounding edgier than normal.

I look at the photos and pick at my nails, "Sir, I can assure you I wouldn't want to ruin a chance at this job. Oscar was with us for those photos leaving the club, and all photos seem to magically cut out Charles, or one of the other guys who were dancing with us," I explain.

He looks at us and leans back in his chair, "We need you to post more of the other guys on your personal accounts. This will save us time and money rather than trying to cover up the photos with the media team," he tells me.

"Of course. I'd be happy to," I tell him as I nod my head. I have some photos I can edit and send out tonight, " I assure him. The woman beside him seems skeptical as I give her a small smile, "I also have a shoot with the Ferarri boys later this week," I tell him as he writes it down in his schedule. During the rest of the meeting, they informed Lando and me of different events that I'll be needed at. They asked us over and over if there was anything they had to worry about coming out in the press and Lando shook his head laughing.

"Ella, don't you have a lunch date with Peter today?" he asks me as he looks at his phone. I slightly furrow my eyes before realizing the time. Lando stands up looking at Zac, "We are done here right?" he asks Zac. The management looks at Lando and agrees as they copy his movements standing up. I shake their hands and walk with Lando to the office where my stuff is. I put my jacket on and look at him.

"What was that?" I ask confused. He walks me to my bike smiling.

"I need you to post more with Peter. If you post more with him than most suspicion is off of us," He points out, "And with the next event being at the club he works at you two can act like a couple," he adds as I nod my head.

"When did you get so smart?" I ask looking at him.

He rolls his eyes taking his card out, "Go take Peter to lunch and post it. On me," He says handing it over.

"I don't need your money," I tell him as he opens the compartment on my bike and shoves his card into my wallet.

"I want my girl to have a good time with her friend," he whispers. I look at him with a wide smile and I wish I could kiss him but I can't, "Now go. I'll stop by later to hear all about your fake date," he smirks.

I sit on my bike and watch him walk to his Aston Martin parked in the lot. I text Peter if he's free and he says we will meet me at our favorite place in town. I smile the entire ride there. The weather is nice, I have a great job, and Lando is perfect. I pull into the parking spot next to Peter's car and smile taking my helmet off, "Today's on Lan," I tell him making his eyes widen.

"I'm starting to love you more," he says as I gasp slightly offended as he slings his arm around me. When we sit down at a table outside I fill him in on everything and how he has to fake being my boyfriend. He agrees quickly when his meal comes out with the extra fixings because Lando paid.

"As long as it helps out you and Lando...I'd do anything," he says making me smile.

"Even if it included me taking hot photos of you and posting them on my Instagram?" I ask as he raises an eyebrow at me, "And I'll take extra ones for your bartending account," I add.

"Now we are talking," he grins doing a dramatic vouge pose.
