Isabel Turner

I put on my favorite hoodie, fixed my makeup and put on my shoes. A quick look in the mirror and I walked out the door of my apartment. I went down the stairs and looked at my watch. I can't believe that I was already late on my first day at work. Incredible. I'm usually on time, but that wasn't the case today. I spent a disgusting amount of time in front of my clothes because I didn't know what I should wear today. Which dress would be appropriate? I hated the crowds and traffic in London, but today I had to hurry. I got on the subway in a hurry, trying not to spill the coffee I bought on the way.
I have arrived. Today was my first day at Glite gossip magazine as a new journalist. Although my colleagues have already informed me that I will still be bringing the coffee to my boss for a while. But I didn't care, the point is that I had a job. After all, at the age of 21, it would have been difficult to do or find anything besides university alone.
Upon entering the huge glass building, I immediately went to the front desk, I didn't bother with the man sitting there, I just went to the elevator. As soon as the elevator arrived, I blew out the air I was holding inside. I looked at my watch, I still had 5 minutes.

- You've finally arrived, Isabel! - said my boss, who was rather well dressed, grumpily.
- Bring coffee, the meeting is about to start - he assigned the task to which I nodded without saying a word. I started to my small table. I packed my stuff and headed to the coffee machine. I boiled the coffee and added as much sugar as needed. Then I went through the glass door to my boss's office. As soon as I entered, a red-haired man spoke.

- This girl would be perfect for the job! - he pointed at me when our eyes met

- I? - I asked back

- Why she? - asked back a girl with rather strong make-up on her face

- Because this girl has such an angelic face and everyone thinks she's innocent

- Do you think any F1 driver should have this? - the girl pointed at me. I hung my head in confusion and I have never been so offended

- It's worth a try - my boss shrugged

- May I know what it is about? - I asked

- That's the point, they're crazy - said the girl

- Sorry, but you should play a girlfriend, not a whore - said the red-haired man, and the people sitting at the table started laughing

-Sit down, Isabel! - my boss pointed to an empty chair. So I sat down next to the red-haired man who pulled out the chair for me with a smile.

- Do you know Formula 1? - the man asked

- I've heard of it a few times, but I'm not really an expert on it , I said shyly

- Great! In short and concisely, recently the pilots have become huge stars and we want to take advantage of this. So, simply, you should get close to one of the pilots and describe any rumors or information you hear to us - the man began listing my tasks

- How long should I do this? - I asked

- Only for a couple of months, because it might become clear after a while, since we would publish everything as news

- But isn't that an evil for pilots? I mean, I...

- You are very cute - laughed my boss
- Don't be interested in anything but your work - he looked at me sternly
- Or do you want to cancel already?

- No, of course not! - I objected immediately

- So are you in then? - The man, who was still unknown to me, asked. I hesitated, but at that moment I decided to do it. If this is what it takes to be a journalist, then I have to do it.

- Yes- I nodded, not at all confident

- Great! - my boss clapped his hands together
- Somebody write a contract now! Then find me a new assistant! - my boss shouted. And while everyone else started paying attention, I turned to the red-haired man

- Thanks for helping me- I said and he smiled

Absolutely! - he gladly laughed and held out his hand
- Cody - introduced himself

- Isabel, you can call me Lizzy - I accepted the handshake

- Anyway, a good piece of advice for this job - the man leaned closer
- If you manage to get in touch with any of them, please....don't fall in love with anyone!- I froze for a moment and then shook my head

- I will not! - I said confidently

...

My dear boss arranged everything for me quickly. Everything was ready. I traveled and my accommodation was wonderful. They made up a fake story for me in a couple of days, and it gave me a bad feeling, but if this is what I have to do in order to be able to do my work, then I have to do it. Cody, my new and only colleague who was normal with me, accompanied me to Baku ...
I was grateful for the boy's presence. So I wasn't as scared as I thought I would be. I stayed in a beautifully decorated hotel where Formula 1 drivers were also accommodated. I couldn't have gotten close to them in a more insidious way.

- I hope you make friends with one of the pilots quickly - Cody said quietly next to me as we exited the elevator. We had already taken our rooms, we just wanted to get to the track.
