unconditional

chapter three

After a long, eventful day at work, I head up to my apartment. I unlock the door to find Victoria sleeping on the couch. I try to be quiet but she wakes up as soon as I shut the door.

"Ella! How was work?" she asks whilst sitting up to let me sit on the couch with her.

"It was okay, just like everyday, to be honest" I reply, not wanting to tell her about the incident. Victoria would just worry too much.

"Louis texted me that there were F1 drivers there!" She exclaimed, "Did you not see them? Lando Norris was there, you could've asked him if he knew who they hired for the media job!"

I nodded and said, "I saw them, he was pretty hard to miss" With an unintentional smirk on my face. Victoria was talking about Lando, but I couldn't help but talk about Charles.

"Oh my god. I didn't know you were attracted to him, no wonder you want to work at Mclaren!" She shouted, then started giggling.

"No Vic, not Lando. I was talking about Charles." I explained, feeling my cheeks flush pink.

Even saying his name was making me feel excited, nervous. He was so kind to me, and we didn't even know eachother.

"Can you believe that tomorrow is our last day of university?" Victoria said, laying on my shoulder.

"It's crazy! It's gone so quick, Vic. Once we submit those assignments. We will be finished forever" I said with a smile on my face.

I was excited to finish, I was excited for the future ahead of us and I'm so glad I have Victoria with me for all of this.

"I'm gonna go to bed, goodnight Ella, love you" Victoria said whilst hugging me and began to walk to her bedroom.

I went to get a shower, got into my pyjamas and laid in bed. I couldn't help but smile as I slowly drifted into sleep.

I woke up to my phone ringing, I sat up in bed and reached for my phone. It was an unknown number. I press to answer.

"Hello?", I mumbled as I was still half asleep.

"Hi, is this Ellasandra Monet?" A deep, American voice asked.

"It is, how can I help?" I replied, still extremely confused but I made sure to sound polite.

"Hi, It's Zak Brown, Mclaren. I'm just calling to tell you that you got the job! You are our new head of media" He said in a happy tone. My jaw dropped, I was definitely in shock.

When I managed to find the words, I said, "Oh my god, thank you so much! This is truly an honour. I'm so excited."

"Great to hear, so someone from the Mclaren team will be emailing you the details for tomorrow. See you there, bye Ellasandra!" Zak said, ending the call. "Bye!"

As soon as the call ended, I screamed louder than I've ever screamed before. I haven't felt this happy in so long. Victoria stormed into my room, her face was distraught. "What's happened? I thought you were dying Ella!" She shouted.

"I got the job Vic! I got it! You're looking at the new Head of Media for Mclaren" I screamed, jumping up to Victoria.

Victoria screamed, just as loud as me, and pulled me in for a hug. "I'm so proud of you Ella, oh my god!"

We both started jumping up and down, like little kids.

"We need to celebrate tonight! I already told all of our friends the plans. I knew you were going to get the job,  I knew it!" Victoria exclaimed, grinning from ear to ear.

"I can't wait! But I can't drink too much! First day of work tomorrow" I said, knowing that tonight I was going to drink as much as I can, no matter what.

Me and Victoria grabbed our laptops and ran to our kitchen table, we both looked at eachother with a smile. "Okay let's submit these assignments!" I shouted.

"3...2...1!" Victoria screamed and we both clicked submit at the same time.

We were both so happy.
