"LOOK WHO FINALLY DECIDED TO SHOWED UP." Jon exclaimed when Lando entered the MTC.
"Calm down mate, I'm not even that late." Lando rolled his eyes, and walked to the room of the simulator to start practicing for this weekend's Grand Prix- Austin, Texas.

"Hold on, before you go," Jon stopped him, "Zak wants to see you first."
Lando furrowed is eyebrows. "Why, did i do something?"
Jon hesitated. "Can't tell you. Come on, you'll find out now." he said, making his way to the elevator.

Lando followed suit and pressed on the arrow pointing up.
"Is it bad?" Lando asked, looking at Jon nervously. Jon slightly chuckled, looking back at him "You'll probably not like it but, It's good for you, for the team, and your reputation."
" 'My reputation'. " Lando repeated mockingly as he shook his head slightly.

As they reached the floor to Zak's office, Lando exited first, walked to the door and proceeded to knock.
"Come in." a voice called on the other side of the door. Lando entered, Jon following behind.

"Hey man, how are ya doin'?" Zak stood up from this chair and fist bumped Lando and then Jon.
"Yeah, fine. You?" Lando asked as he sat down on one of the chair opposite Zak's desk.
Zak sat back down. "Good, good."
"You wanted to see me? Is something wrong?" Lando asked, fidgeting with his hands.

Zak sighed and faced Lando. "Right, so i'm sure you're aware of your... private life situation. I- I don't know what to call it. But we, Jon and I,"  he gestured to Jon and himself "have come to an agreement. And we-"

"Woah, wait a minute mate" Lando interrupted. "What agreement? What are you talking about? My private life is no one's concern. It shouldn't matter."
Jon put a hand on Lando's shoulder and squeezed it briefly.

Zak nodded before he continued. "I know. But the agreement we made, is beneficial for you, and the team. It might sound crazy but, it's what needs to be done."
"So what's the agreement?" Lando asked impatiently.

Jon and Zak glanced at each other briefly before Jon nodded at him.
"We have decided on a relationship of convenience. Now before you say anything, hear me out."

Lando's jaw dropped slightly and widened his eyes at the unexpected announcement.
"What the fuck? Why?" Lando cut him off with slight anger.
Zak raised his hand up "Okay now hold on. I know this isn't what you want but i think we can kinda compromise."
Lando furrowed his eyebrows, but now being slightly intrigued. "How?"

"You get to choose whom you'll be in this relationship with. We have a few options here and i want you to choose one of them." Zak explained. Lando waved him off. "I don't care, man. This isn't even gonna be a real relationship, so what's the point in choosing?" "And we can stop calling this a relationship, this is clearly a PR stunt.", he added, rolling his eyes.

Zak sighed. "Alright. I still want you to choose." he slid a folder from one side of his desk to him and opened it. "I'm gonna name you the options we have and just say 'Yes' or 'No'. Got it?"
Lando rolled his eyes. "Yeah, go on."

"Okay. First up we have Sabrina Carpenter." Zak started reading off.
"No." Lando said quickly.
Zak slightly shook his head. "Okay, Olivia Rodrigo."
"No."
"Dua Lipa." Lando proceeded to shake his head.

Zak sighed and leaned back in his chair. "Come on, man. You gotta give me something here."
"I'm not really into singers." Lando shrugged his shoulders, "Don't wanna be inspiration for a breakup song."
Zac nodded and leaned back forward. "Alright, that's a start. Jenna Ortega." he continued.
"Too young."

Zak furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. "She's only 3 years younger." Lando waved him off. "Go on. Who else have you got?"

"Amelia Madden." Lando stayed quiet and let out a 'hmm', before he leaned back in his chair. "Why is she in the list?" he asked Zak.
"Well she's pretty unproblematic, professional and loved by many. She could create a distraction, and it would shift the media's attention away from your current situation." he explained. "People would think that you've changed."

"Changed? What's wrong with the way i am?" he asked Zak, who only chuckled slightly. "Well, I'm sorry to say this, but you're kind of a slut, man."
"I agree." Jon smirked, raising his hand slightly.

Lando scoffed in disbelief. "Yeah alright, whatever. Let's go with her then. She's okay. And pretty, i guess." he said the last part quietly to himself. Zak clapped his hands together and turned his computer on. "Great choice! I'll email her manager immediately."

Amelia was packing her things after another long day of shooting. The film was starting to look better, and they were slowly approaching completion. All she wanted, was for it all to be done, so she could rest properly and actually get a bit of sleep. She loved her job, and she always dreamed of doing what she's doing now.

But she hadn't thought of the down sides of what acting came with. Long hours of filming, all the fame, barely any privacy. She didn't know about all of that. She had always dreamed of being famous. Now she wishes she hadn't.

"Hey, is everything alright? You seemed pretty quiet today. Well, quieter than usual." a familiar voice approached her. Amelia turned, and smiled as she was faced with Maya walking up to her.

She chuckled. "Oh, hey. It's nothing, I'm just tired." she said waving her off. Maya smiled back at her, "Yeah, i get it. I can't wait for all of this to be over, so i can finally go out properly." she said making Amelia laugh quietly.

Maya was the complete opposite of Amelia, yet they were so similar in many ways. While Maya liked to go out with her friends, Amelia on the other hand, enjoyed her own company.
Maya rarely stayed at home, while Amelia rarely left her home. Only on important occasions. She liked the peaceful feeling of lying in bed, reading or listening to music.

"Yeah well, i just need a month's worth of good sleep and i'd be fine. Can barely get any sleep with all this late filming. But this is almost over, so it can't get any worse, right?" Amelia asked leaning on a chair as she looked at a nodding Maya. "Yeah, everything's gonna be fine." she smiled.

"Hey Amelia!" called out a voice as it came from behind her. The both of them turned around to find Maddison, Amelia's manager, walking over to them, holding her notebook.
Amelia smiled at her. "Hey Mads, what's up?"

"So i got an email earlier today. It's from Mclaren F1 an-"
"Mcla- F1? What's that?" Amelia asked and knitted her eyebrows.
"They're a  Formula 1 team," Maddison told her. "You know, the sport where they drive fast cars on weird shapes?" she explained and looked at Amelia expectantly, who looked at a shrugging Maya.

"Right, well they want to speak to you the as soon as possible, so i scheduled it for tomorrow. I can't tell you what it's about just yet, alright?" Maddison added as she gave her a sympathetic smile.
"What could they possibly want from me?" Amelia asked.
"You'll find out tomorrow. Good night!" Maddison bid her goodbye and walked out the door.
Amelia's gaze followed her until Maddison was gone, before she looked at a smirking Maya.
"Can't get any worse, huh?" Maya said mockingly. "I guess so." Amelia sighed.
