We entered the war room to find Julianna and her entire team there. From the dark circles and large bags under their eyes and the fact that everyone was still wearing the same outfit, it was clear that they really did spend the entire night in the war room. I was impressed at their dedication but more impressed at how high their team morale seemed to be despite all they had gone through.
“You sound excited…” Ace commented without much emotion.
Julianna turned with a smile on hers lips before she started giggling a little evilly to herself. Something good must have happened for her to have a reaction like that. She looked like she was the verge of exploding to tell us the good news.
“Did something good happen?” I asked curiously.
“I don’t know but I really hope so,” she replied before winking at me.
“What does that mean?” I asked as my curiosity started taking over.
“She probably did something and is still waiting for the numbers to roll in,” Ace replied without any excitement.
I watched as he walked past Julianna to his seat at the head of the long meeting table. Julianna continued to giggle like a kid who had a very naughty story to tell. If this wasn’t a working environment, I would have thought that she had successfully pulled a prank on someone.
“Did everything go well last night?” I asked hopefully.
“Yup. We managed to finish everything plus a few extra things. Everything is done, the graphics and all the set up of social media advertising placements. Everything is done!” Julianna declared excitedly.
“We didn’t get any sleep but she’s right. It’s done,” one of her team members spoke up before closing his eyes and sighing loudly.
“We did everything we could. The donations better start rolling in,” another added.
“It will. I have a feeling that we’ve got it right this time around. Things will work out,” Julianna told her teammates with confidence.
“Karina, come over here. You want to see what they’ve done, right?” Jeremy asked as he waved me over to his side.
Julianna was too busy laughing with her team members to show me anything, but it was alright. I didn’t want to bother her or any of her team members after the all-nighter that they had just pulled. I walked over and sat down next to Jeremy as I waited for him to pull up what he wanted to show me on his laptop screen. My eyes wandered to land on Ace, and I realized that he had not shown much interest in what Julianna and her team had done although they had put so much effort into their work.
“Ace…” I called out to him before I realized what I was doing.
“What is it?” he replied flatly.
“Do you want to see? I mean, the advertising work on social media…” I asked before smiling a little over at him.
