Wanda didn't expect the brunette, whom she barely knew and whose only interaction with her had been a quick lap around the track, to accept her invitation to the premiere. He even accepted it with enthusiasm, like someone who watches and loves these movies.

The girl was truly surprised. She had said it just for fun. She expected a refusal. In her head, she was already thinking up a new task for him because he lost the bet. She was really thinking of something new.

"Of course, I'll go with you," he said with the biggest smile when she finished her question. "I'd love to be your plus one."

"What?" The girl didn't understand what had just happened.

"You asked, and I'm answering," Daniel laughed. "I like Fast & Furious, so I'm happy to come to the premiere and see the movie a day before everyone else."

"But it's in Los Angeles," Wanda told him. She and the rest of the cast had already booked a private plane to take them to Los Angeles after the race, giving them plenty of time to prepare and get a good night's sleep.

"I'll find a way to get there," the brunette added. "I'll have my PR person give you my number so you can send me the details about the premiere."

"Are you serious?" Wanda still didn't understand. How could he say he'd go with her to the premiere when he didn't even know her?

"Dead serious," Daniel nodded with a smile. "You invited me, so you can't take it back now."

Wanda began to regret deciding to be a bit funny and asking him if he would be her plus one. She was annoyed that in recent years she had been attending every premiere alone, even though she was allowed to bring a guest. But she definitely didn't plan to come with someone she met for ten minutes and exchanged a few words with.

"So, I'll see you before the premiere, Daniel Ricciardo," the girl smiled, so weakly that almost no one would notice. She didn't know the boy at all, and he certainly wouldn't see her smile - he would either have to wait for it or never see it if their meeting in Los Angeles was the last time they saw each other.

"I'll be there, Wanda Finkley," Daniel nodded, and the biggest smile Wanda had ever seen appeared on his face.

And so, here she was. In the studio, where makeup artists were working around her to create the most beautiful makeup they could. In the studio, where her black dress, which she had specially chosen for this premiere, was being prepared. It wasn't a dress from an expensive and luxurious brand. She didn't want a world-renowned designer to create the dress for her. This dress was custom-made just for her by her acquaintance from New Zealand.

After filming, she went home for a while, and when she saw her former classmate, who was the only one who was never mean to her and basically just ignored her, she decided to act. She knew he always wanted to become a fashion designer, but due to family circumstances, it never worked out. She decided to make his dream come true and asked him for a dress. She didn't interfere and let him design everything himself. She only gave him her measurements and the deadline for when she would need the dress.
